Linda Ronstadt & Aaron Neville - Don’t Know Much Live 1990 | REACTION

[@baskethil2]

I think Aaron Neville is really underrated as a singer

[@pbasswil]

Who underrates him? His talent is obvious, for everyone to hear!

[@benostiguy7215]

baskethil2 he is mainly overlooked now. He used to be highly regarded... so talented!

[@pfpublius]

Aaron is absolutely overlooked. Amazing artist. Sooo emotive. Great coice control.

[@pbasswil]

@@benostiguy7215 Vocal control, taste and originality, all in one package, the great Aaron N. Yep, lots of amazing talent from decades ago is fading from memory. I like even _older_ music too, from the '20s/'30s/'40s, and no one but a few of us eccentrics remembers the great talent from back then even _existed._ Thank god for KZbin, and reaction vids!

[@SouthernArtist77]

Oh I just love him so much.

[@karenj3611]

When they finished recording this song, Aaron said to Linda "I'll see you at the Grammys "

[@msudlp]

When Aaron was accepting his Grammy for this young, Linda had to whisper in his ear to thank his wife. Great moment.

[@mariajoseasbury8450]

​@@msudlp weren't they lovers?

[@msudlp]

@@mariajoseasbury8450 No, they had their own significant others.

[@suzannegaglie6146]

Really?! That’s fantastic. I think this song should be a first dance for the bride and groom

[@robinpresleywoodward]

They have chemistry ❤

[@kempeacelovehappiness6256]

arron Neville is absolutely one of the best singers of all time...his voice gives me chills...

[@stephanieyee9784]

Aaron and Linda's voices are so beautiful and perfect together. Angels Singing.

[@suzyg20]

The thing I respect about Linda in this is, other than her ridiculously amazing voice, is how she pulls back vocally when she harmonizes with him. The blend is the most important thing when you do a duet. And great singers know that. His voice is so incredibly smooth and unique; LOVE this!!! 😊🥰❤️🎤

[@gbacrila]

suzyg20 👍 Agreed 100% .

[@jeweliedee4299]

You are so right. She let him shine! And shine he did!

[@mattsmith8901]

You are so right. They are both professionals who understand the nuances of the song.

[@dianadollar758]

EVERYBODY including myself, fell in love with Aaron Neville on this song...and we all wanted to be Linda! GREAT SONG!!!!!~And um J?We don’t know much either🤪but we know we love you too😎💜☮️

[@ABertagurl]

I've loved Aaron for many decades already. He's a one of a kind.

[@marytschida5756]

Loved him decades before this song!

[@johnfraser6013]

Linda Is, hands down, the the most talented female vocalist I have ever known.

[@Bless2bme]

"that you've EVER known" ? lol I love her voice a lot too but... She's definitely among the greats though.

[@hawaiiancane1]

Aaron Neville and Linda Ronstadt blew the doors open with this song. Both of their voices will never be duplicated

[@sdbruddah77]

If you like her duets, you should react to Somewhere Out There. She sang this with James Ingram. From the movie An American Tail

[@rileyandmike]

Clint Helenihi great song

[@k.nicoledavis8537]

OMG yes! Divine!

[@jeannejorgensen1230]

Clint Helenihi yes! Love that performance

[@thereallulustar2044]

Yes!

[@timconaway5077]

YES!

[@marytschida5756]

Aaron Nelville is one of the most beautiful voices ever!

[@pogo1140]

Linda Ronstadt was the god mother to the Eagles. She hired Glen Frey and Don Henley for her touring band. Frey and Henley wrote and rehearsed much of their first album in her living room in her Laurel Canyon home. This was where she heard "Desperado" for the first time and she arranged to cover the song just months after the Eagles had it on their album. Frey and Henley have said that her version of "Desperado" was the definitive version of the song. Through the years, Linda has touched and influenced and quietly helped dozens of musicians.

[@claytonberg721]

Her cover of the song brought attention to the eagles, although today the original is probably more famous.

[@dimitriosales]

This might the best duet ever! Linda holds back in the song.

[@debbiechang5781]

They won a Grammy for this song and this was their performance at the Grammies. He was so nervous when they went to get their award that he thanked Linda and forgot to thank his wife until Linda nudged him and reminded him. It was really cute. She also did a beautiful duet with James Ingram for an animated movie. She was on the Muppet Show too 😂

[@wtk6069]

People forget that Aaron Neville went country for a while in the late 80s. His cover of The Grand Tour is great also

[@susiedupuy9532]

The Grand Tour will make you cry.

[@MrSmartAlec]

Another wonderful duet is "Somewhere Out There" with James Ingram

[@TSharon400]

I can't listen to that without crying, over a mouse!!! 😄

[@rebeccafoust2963]

My husband was buried 3 years ago today. This was played at our wedding. Thanks for this as I dry my face... the smile does not fade and my heart is so full...

[@_Lisa_S_]

This has always been one of THE purest songs out there .. brings tears to my eyes -- still *

Aaron Nevilles voice has this.... unbelievable lilt. It’s like floating on a cloud. Linda Ronstadts voice is and always be in that other worldly realm

[@elieengoslin3623]

When intervied a few years back the person doing the interview said So you cant sing anymore? And she answered wih pure grace and only as Linda would, No I can't but I sing in my head.

[@victoriav389]

I haven't heard this song for years and it sounds sweeter than ever. 💖

[@deborahcornell171]

I met Mr. Neville once, briefly. A big man with a big presence, even when not singing. Please do Linda's "Desperado".💙

[@maryroberts9233]

Linda's voice is crystal and Aarons voice is magic

[@jojotv5345]

In Desperado, Linda really gave us a taste of the true power of her voice. I love her version.

[@lisablackburn1540]

Aaron Neville has a whole family of talent, what a blessed voice he has!!! Btw, I know we love you too Jamel!

[@iamatransporter]

My favorite duet of all time. Absolute perfection.

They were not dating but had great chemistry singing together. You should check out Aaron Neville's "Tell it Like it Is" and also his work with the Neville Brothers.

[@jeanettesmith765]

I heard they did date for a while.

Oooooohhhh, Linda's high harmonies give me chills every time!

[@MultiLakewood]

Her song with Dolly, Emmy Lou Harris where she sings the lead is unbelievable harmony between the three of them. The name of the song is "High Sierra" . More Chills for sure.

[@polyprinz]

His and her voice....heavenly! She can sing just about anything, his voice makes me happy...angelic!

[@Senaleb]

probably one of the best duos I've ever heard. Absolutely beautiful melody

[@CryssLuvsMuzik]

Chemistry was HIGH! Her voice is really joyous. His voice is sublime. She, like Pat Benetar, are classically trained, and began as opera singers.

[@barbarachieppo8290]

Love their voices together so much Love their voices individually as well ❤🔥

[@samueltabo3390]

The following year they won a Grammy award for the song "All my life "

[@peggygibbons1441]

Jamal, when Aaron showed up when Linda got a Kennedy Center Honor, her lip trembled & she teared up. She has dementia now, but when he started singing...thatcwas Pure Love between those two. ❤

[@eileendobbs8574]

She's so good at singing harmony. Check out her; Emmylou Harris and Dolly Parton singing High Sierra. This was their last performance together. It may actually have been the last time Linda sang in public. 😪

[@tanaforet8684]

Love your reactions friend and you’re right, music brings us all together. How beautiful was this? Linda Romdstadt sounds like an Angel and Aaoron Neville sounds like an Archangel! I could listen to him sing ALL day. His voice is unmistakable....he almost sounds like he’s yodeling, but the most beautiful “Yodel” you’ve ever heard. You should listen to and react to both of them singing “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face”, it’s a classic and their voices are soooo beautiful together that it lifts you to another place. Just Do It, you’ll love it♥️

[@niclofton9912]

When you said, “damn!” I lost it lol I love Aaron’s voice.

Beautiful, BEAUTIFUL song! This was sheer perfection! I'll never understand why Aaron Neville never crossed over into Super Star status. His voice is one of those that is TRULY one-of-a-kind; can never be duplicated. Such an amazing talent. Thanks for this wonderful video. I didn't get to see the original performance when it was broadcast, so this was a treat to be able to see it now.

I first heard Linda on Armed Forces Radio in Viet Nam. I came back home and heard her music for so many years after that. Pairing with Nelson Riddle, Aaron Neville, Emmilou Harris, The Eagles, and so many others. And Finally her concert honoring her Mexican heritage, Songs of my father, Canciones De Mi Padre. There will never be another like her. She is a National treasure.

[@jpkalishek4586]

I met Aaron a few times in the 80's mostly once in passing at the airport in the late 90's, and have to say he is the nicest person you are likely to meet. His son got shot once, and it turned out he and his cousin/friend lied about how it happened. He had just bought the son a bicycle from the shop I worked at, and we had it for a check-up (free 30-60-90-120 day) and he called and asked if we'd hold it and how much storage (nothing, all the Nevilles that came in were good customers) and not long after, the real story came out. Initially they claimed it was a guy in a brown Chevy Caprice, turned out the cousin/friend (forget if they were related) had swiped the gun and they managed to accidentally shoot it, hitting Aaron's son in the back. The gun got tossed in the sewer, and a day or so later Aaron called again and asked about fees because it was going to be a while before sonny was getting his beloved bicycle back. 6 or 7 months later, he brought the kid in to get the bike. Made him apologize, loudly, to everyone in the store for lying, and then had him go back to the work area and apologize to the workers back there, and thank us for keeping his bike. Also, Aaron got gypped out of most of the money from "Tell It Like It Is" and when the record went Gold, the shysters at the label kept it, so his brothers and friends bought an album , spray painted it gold, and gave that to him. When Linda had her hit with it, she gave Aaron hers. One of the few things I miss about New Orleans is the music.

[@peggygibbons479]

I'm sorry you don't miss more of New Orleans. I've never been there but have always wanted to go and I would DIE if I met Aaron Neville! Love him SO MUCH!! God bless him for making his son do the right thing! I LOVE that story!!

[@jpkalishek4586]

@@peggygibbons479 If ever you do visit. be careful, but check out the WW2 museum (It was the D Day museum at the start), Audubon Zoo, Mama's for food, (I can't give more than that as a lot of the good little places are closed, changed hands etc) and for spendier good food, Commander's Palace. Honestly, in Louisiana, most gas stations (if they have a deli/grill) will have better food than a fancy sit-down in the rest of the nation. For music, Tipitina's, Jimmy's, The Maple Leaf, Rock and Bowl, Howlin' Wolf, (some of these might now be closed down it's been just over 16 years since I left there) and a ton of other venues, some the size of a closet but with acts you can't believe are that good, play almost nightly. Check www.wwoz.org once things open back up for places to go. Also a decent stream for some NOLA music especially Jazz.

Their chemistry is off the charts!!! Great pair! In a recent article, they asked Aaron who his favorite duet partner was (and he had MANY)...he said Linda Ronstadt and wishes they could do just one more song together. But, because of the Parkinson's disease, he knows that will probably never happen....so sad. They truly have a very close relationship.
