@@bryansmith5980 Seriously? You're going to criticize that voice because she didn't write most of her material? Ridiculous! She had a generational voice and was rightly celebrated for it. I guess you dismiss all the current great opera voices and classical musicians because they are doing covers (of 300 to 400 year old songs!). Linda had a gorgeous voice, incredible range, super control, and she still managed to rock it and put on crowd-pleasing shows to packed stadiums. She could sing at the highest level in many genres, including rock, country, Latin, and in plays. The world lost a jewel of a singer when Parkinsons sidelined her. She deserves all the accolades she received, including ten Grammys, an Emmy, inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and so much more. Her pedestal is not fake, your standard of writing is what's fake. She's a singer, not a writer. The best singers on earth (opera) don't write anything.

I have seen a clip of her performing it on the old Glen Campbell show, but there is a short version and a long version of the same performance. Either is good but the longer with all the verses is best. I enjoy watching your reaction videos so much!

It was such a hit that she followed it up with two more. A year after the third collaboration with Nelson Riddle she released "Canciones de Mi Padre" which was a massive hit. While she may have received some push back, she had already proven by this point that her instincts and talent were right on.

But *it hadn't been recorded yet!* Ronstadt recorded it the following summer, and it was finally released as a single in November 1974. It would never happen today that an artist would perform a song on national TV that was not yet available for purchase.

Read up on her a bit. Before this video, she was in a rock band, The Stone Poneys (Different Drum was popular). She was once wife of Jerry Brown (not while he was governor of CA). She is now battling Parkinson's Disease. Sad. She had a lot of catchy songs, but I think one of the most powerful of her vocals are on the Spanish album she did around '84. POWERFUL. She also did some collaboration with other artists including one with Dolly Parton & Emmylou Harris... an iconic trio at the time with beautiful harmonies. Emmylou: "Linda probably has THE most stunningly beautiful voice of our generation."

Linda Ronstadt was used by vocal coaches across the US during the 70s to show students how to control vocals. As mentioned below, Linda Ronstadt not only could sing in any genre, but she did. Songs I suggest to get an idea of her range are as follows: Blue Bayou (mentioned many times and is a ballad for Amber) Los Laureles (to celebrate her Hispanic heritage and has horns) All My Life featuring Aaron Neville (a man that could possibly put Barry Gibbs voice to shame) Silver Threads and Golden Needles (country) Love is a Rose (featuring a banjo) Heatwave (to get a better feel of her rock side) Any song from the Album Trio when she sings with Dolly Parton (a channel favorite), and Emmylou Harris. Just letting you know you just fell into a rabbit hole here. Anytime you can hear her live is great as it really shows off her talent and not studio production.

You should know that every song that Ronstadt recorded was a cover of a song that had been previously recorded by another artist. Yet Ronstadt charted again and again and again, she was that good at reinterpreting other people's music and making it her own. I'm really glad you got to her, because she freaking rocks. Oh, a little personal factoid: She used to date the Governor of California, Jerry Brown.
