Once upon a time Willie Nelson said there are two types of men: those who've had a crush on Linda Ronstadt and those who've never heard of her.

[@traceygilham2005]

You should listen to her and Aaron Neville singing Don’t Know Much…so amazingly beautiful.

DEFINITELY!! They're gonna freak when they hear that song, and I love the live version, too

[@gennyreese420]

YES!! I've been asking them to do this song for months, I hope they do it soon!💙✨✌😎 Linda is of course awesome as usual but Aaron Neville's voice is mesmerizing I know they're going to love it too.

[@Throgmoyd]

For me, Aaron's best is 'Tell It Like It Is' - sublime.

[@michelekarl1411]

I’ve been asking for that song forever!! Hopefully they react to it!!

[@randyventresca4152]

The greatest most versatile female vocalist of her generation.

[@user-yc1iw4yq4h]

Linda is the absolute best. Every song she sings is so good.No other female artist can touch her talent.

[@williamhutton2474]

Linda came to stardom in 1967 as the lead singer of The Stone Ponys. Check out Diferent Drum. It made her a star.

[@selecttoursnyc7787]

And written by Mike Nesmith

[@moleman1976]

I've absolutely loved that song pretty much my entire life! I once made a party at my house be quiet because it came on the radio (in the pre-streaming era, when I didn't have the song on CD or tape and a radio airing for it was rare)!

Another take on Miss Ronstadt.... "Long, Long Time".... Pure Linda's voice. Stunning and heartbreaking.

[@ryanmitchener275]

Amazing suggestion! Fragility and beauty in a song.

[@Carln0130]

+1 on this. Beautiful heartfelt song.

[@scooper3752]

Oh such a gorgeous song!!! They should do Desperado, too.

[@DancEncounters]

Linda is far and away the best at crying with her voice.

[@ronbrown912]

Linda is basically responsible for the creation of Country Rock and is DEFINITELY part of the "California Sound or Laurel Canyon Sound" created in the 70s. Despite that, she refused to be put in a box and, as you have already seen, did whatever kind of music she wanted to and her fans supported her through it all. I was fortunate to grow up right there in SoCal in the middle of it all. She will always be one of my favorites.

[@user-ip5dm6jf8k]

These two kids think she sounds southern? Pure california rock, not alabama.

[@edallen3662]

You want to be stunned by her voice there is no more beautiful song than "Long long time" also the song "Different Drum" is it really cool Song too

[@cdeleskiyt]

Long Long Time.. yes!

[@paintedjaguar]

"Long, Long Time", a ballad, is one of her best songs. You can find several studio or live videos of it (none of them are bad) but I think this is the one you want to watch kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6anpnifl7V6jJI It's a good quality live performance on Glen Campbell's show in 1970 or '71. Linda puts so much emotion into this song that it will just break your heart.

[@LuvPotter]

Yes " Different Drum" wonderful song, given to her by Michael Nesmith.

[@kittyb5706]

Different Drum is a wonderful suggestion! Such a cool song and her version is the best.

[@ryanmitchener275]

Linda’s version of Desperado breaks my heart! Also, you have to hear her with Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris singing ‘After The Gold Rush’, it’s the most hauntingly beautiful thing you’ll ever hear.

[@jondavwal13]

It really is.

[@johntiggleman4686]

[@JerisEve]

For real country, try Linda singing I Can't Help It If I'm Still in Love With You. It's a Hank Williams classic, and she kicks its butt.

[@KennyP62]

I would really recommend Linda Ronstadt and Aaron Neville duet "I Don't Know Much." Two very distinct voices that meld together. You will not be sorry.

[@elieengoslin3623]

Yes please at the Grammy awards , this ones amazing!!! Aaron Neville is amazing too. No one sings like him.

Linda is one where her live performance is even better than her records. And her records are awesome!

[@MoMoMyPup10]

And I find it true of a few of the female artists back then, but maybe not so much with the guys. Elton John and Billy Joel I saw live but I wasn't impressed. I was very impressed with Eric Clapton though. Linda and Streisand are phenomenal live.

[@GaryNoone-jz3mq]

Only she knows her own boundaries. The rest of us just can't find any!

[@mikecaetano]

"When Will I Be Loved" was a top ten hit for the Everly Brothers in 1960 and a number two hit for Linda Ronstadt in 1975. When you're ready for more bangers from Linda Ronstadt, check out "You're No Good", "Poor Poor Pitiful Me", "It's So Easy", and "Tumbling Dice". PS. For more from The Trio, check out their performance of "After the Gold Rush" on Late Night with David Letterman, March 24, 1999.

Linda is a vocalist for all seasons.

[@halcundiff6886]

That was pop, she also discovered the Eagles. They used to travel as her opening act at her concerts. The 70s queen of pop and rock. She was raised in the U.S. but her father was a mariachi, hence her album Canciones de me Padre. Songs of my father.

[@Tank4Life]

I lived in Tucson for several years in the 80s. She was so involved

[@HisboiLRoi]

@ Michelle Holland - Where did you see Linda perform with the Stone Poneys? I have verified a number of performances at the Minus One Coffeehouse (6th Street just East of Park), as well as several pre-Poneys gigs at My Brother's Place on 4th Avenue.

Linda basically created the early 70's California sound. How many bands did she create or were associated with her? Producers knew Linda was killer, she had the record contracts, which meant the people surrounding her got noticed. Which meant everyone wanted to work with Linda's band. Careers were launched, which spawned many successful artists. Her "ripple" was as huge as her voice.

[@BillB23]

When Linda toured in the early '70s she was backed up by the guys who would form the Eagles. Even though she has a German name, she grew up in a home with a strong Mexican heritage, hence the album title "Canciones de Mi Padre."

Linda holds back in these pop songs. Want to see her go full beastmode and show off? Try "POOR WANDERING ONE" from Pirates of Penzance, the Broadway musical she was in.

"You're no good" studio version is a must. A slower haunting sounding rock song but still with a driving beat in the chorus, pure 70s all over it, I am sure you will love it. Would easily be a great background tune for a crime movie or similar set in the 70s.

Linda Ronstadt is one of the best female singers & can sing any genre from ballads to country to rock. She has had so many hits such as "Blue Bayou", "You're No Good", "Long Long Time", "Poor Poor Pitiful Me", "Desperado" etc. Ronstadt also did two great duets, "Somewhere Out There" (with James Ingram) & "Don't Know Much" (with Aaron Neville). The Eagles were her backing band till they went out on their own & she has covered a lot of their songs.

[@keithosmond5730]

Her duets Under African Skies with Paul Simon and Hangin' On a Limb with Neil Young are pretty spectacular too. And she has done quite a few other duets or back-up vocals appearances, including back-up and harmony on Warren Zevon's darkly funny doo-wop song "Excitable Boy."

[@HisboiLRoi]

Tucson born and raised Linda Ronstadt is inarguably one of the greatest and most versatile voices of all time. As an aside, and as a total music geek and proud Tucsonan, I am fortunate to live vicariously near the epicenter of Linda's musical beginnings on her way to becoming a superstar. As a teen, she and her early bandmates regularly jammed at a tiny rental house owned by one of her classmates' parents (which unfortunately burned down about three years ago), a mere 200 feet from the home I now own. The location of three of her original long gone venues, "Ash Alley", "My Brother's Place", and the "Minus One Coffeehouse" are also just minutes away on foot.

“Different Drum” by The Stone Poneys (Linda) is a 60s vibe you’d love, and it’s an empowering song as well!

[@martinmosteller5813]

Written by Mike Nesmith (1964) later of the Monkees. Still one of her most popular tracks

[@MoMoMyPup10]

And the other one that I keep requesting that nobody does is "Love Has No Pride". Her very early Drums tracks are my favorite.

[@PlumbPitiful]

Mike managed to sneak the song onto one of the Monkees episodes. It was a very funny version but I'll bet he still got paid his royalties! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXXKd2B3lNB6jMk

Oh, yes, please, please do Different Drum. If there was ever a song written about me it's Different Drum.

[@cavemancell3562]

Linda did 3 CDs of "American Standards". Consider "What'll I Do". Composed by one of the great composers of the 20th century, Irving Berlin, sung by Linda, one of the best popular vocalists of the 20th century, arranged by Nelson Riddle, who, from 1950 to 1985, worked with EVERYONE who was important in music. Linda said she saw notes on Nelson's music scores saying "Frank wants this/that". With "What'll I Do", you get the trifecta of 20th century talent. That's a lot of talent. Nat King Cole also recorded "What'll I Do". That version is pretty good, too.... The song is an early 20th century song, in urban/sophisticated tones, comparable in sprit to "Blue Bayou"

[@joeterp5615]

Linda is the best. She does a great version of Desperado. And Silver Thread and Golden Needles is another good one, and then you must hear her sing Tracks of My Tears too. So many great songs.

@@jameslong3777 Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Bernie Leadon & Randy Meisner were recruited by Linda Ronstadt as band members, some touring with her, & ALL of them playing on her third solo album. They made their debut as Linda’s backing band during a performance at Disneyland in 1971; the line-up was short lived, the Disneyland show was their only show with her, before venturing out on their own. This is all common knowledge, you should read their book before commenting.

[@TimMatheny]

That’s none other than the great James Taylor on backing vocals. James, Linda, Warren Zevon, and Jackson Browne all shared band members and sang on each other’s records.

[@waltw4537]

There's a song by Trio called - "Telling Me Lies" in which Linda is singing the lead. An Immensely Powerful lead! You will be bowled over!! And on the soul genre, there's Smokey and Linda - "Ooh Baby Baby". And this current reaction - well, to me, it shows Linda's connection with the Eagles. Thanks!

[@mattshaw6180]

I'd love for you to hit some very early Linda Ronstadt: "Different Drum" from when she was the singer for The Stone Poneys, and her first solo hit "Long, Long Time." Just sooooo sweet....

[@KTRS]

I LOVE that one!!!

@@John_Chu omg! I had no idea and I’m a BIG MONKEES fan! Wow!

[@paulr.3220]

Damn! I still have a crush on her after all these decades.

[@rbrault1]

Linda is great....with the secret sauce of her long time band who were absolutely killer!!

[@clg3697]

"Different Drum" is a great early song from her. She recorded with the group The Stone Poneys in the late 1960's. "Different Drum" was written by Michael Nesmith of The Monkeys.

[@patriciapappas4087]

Linda is amazing. She sings a cover call Desperado the is in my opinion is better than the original !

[@demonhoopa]

I believe The Eagles agree with that assessment. I’m pretty sure at least Don Henley had said as much publicly

[@scotthleak]

Her version WAS the original; the Eagles formed later and did it then.

[@makz524]

@@scotthleak Desperado was written by Glenn Frey and Don Henley and appeared on the Eagles 1973 album Desperado. It did not become a hit until after Linda Ronstadt released her version of it on her 1973 album Don't Cry Now.

[@joelliebler5690]

The Eagles original version is so much more heartfelt!

[@demonhoopa]

@@scotthleak Linda’s album came out in October 1973, 6 months after the Eagles’ Desperado album. It looks like neither of them released Desperado as a single.

[@Hobodeluxe960]

Love Linda. Had a huge crush on her growing up. Tumblin' Dice is another good one from her.

[@estellecollins2773]

You should listen to her song Winter Light honestly her voice is so beautiful on any song she sings but on that song she definitely sounds like an angel. Please give Winter Light a reaction x

[@charlesreeves3959]

She can sing like an angel!!! She can sing anything!!!

[@KTRS]

I know what you mean - even when she’s belting it out, her voice is still *warm* (and soothing)

[@scottski51]

The juxtaposition of Linda on her album cover and Janis on your shirt is absolutely Jarring !!!

[@armandoperez7967]

Linda Ronstadt could sing ANY style of music and get it down pat! The Eagles were here back up band before they were famous on their own!

[@armandoperez7967]

She also sings in Spanish! She sings Mexican Rancheras in Mexico!

[@rickhastie1072]

Her version of "Desperado" is good

[@aks4204]

Linda Ronstad is amazing! I saw her in an interview the other day. It was so sad. She was telling the interviewer how she can’t sing at all anymore. What a loss for the music world.

[@sarahdee374]

I can't imagine someone who gave so much to the world musically now cannot share that any longer. It makes me so sad for her.

[@aks4204]

@@sarahdee374 absolutely The poor thing can’t even sing in the shower anymore. I felt terrible for her when I watched the interview.

[@jamesscully529]

She was originally diagnosed with Parkinson's ten years ago and lost her singing voice as a result. She was re-diagnosed with a different ailment later on but it is equally degenerative neurological disease. I saw her back in 1978 when she was at the peak of her popular music career before she branched out in other genre's.

[@sarahdee374]

@@jamesscully529 thanks for the clarification. I guess I can't imbibe before I listen to her. Right now I'm just feeling such sadness for her loss. and mine too!

[@jamesscully529]

@@sarahdee374 I just remember seeing her, and how perfect her pitch was, how clear her intonation and this was in a hockey arena in Canada. She went to do Penzance and record with Nelson Riddle which brought this out even more. It is a tragedy what happened to her.

[@frankshaffer7645]

The band she recruited for her 3rd solo album became a little known band called "the Eagles."

[@michellebuchanan730]

She practiced for 6 hours a day for 6 years to attain her voice control.

[@BillGraper]

So many great Linda Ronstadt songs. You MUST react to: Long, Long Time Ooh, Baby Baby It's So Easy Blue Bayou Hurt So Bad Don't Know Much

[@matthewdrake4385]

They already did Blue Bayou

[@BillGraper]

@@matthewdrake4385 I know. I was a tad disappointed, because it was the live version & not the studio version. :)
