I was visiting my non smoking friend and I stepped outside the apartment for a smoke. A young neighbor of his was outside with his puppy. We started talking and something told me to introduce him to Linda with this video. About a third of the way through, he says, "she's beautiful" and I said "yes, she was." Another third of the way through, he says, "that vibrato!" After the video finished, I asked "so, what do you think?" His response, in a voice that was kind of dreamy "I felt like I was in a beautiful theater, all by myself and she was singing directly to me." I said "you nailed it! That's exactly how she made her fans feel!" I don't call Linda a singer. Adele is a singer. I call Linda, the greatest female VOCAL ARTIST in music history. The rarest of the rare!

@zigguratofur72986 жыл бұрын
let's not dismiss linda's band of players so easily. the dark haired angel wouldn't be who she is without them. andrew gold was a formidable talent playing on all tracks of heart like a wheel LP - guitar, keyboard, drums, percussion. gold was her ace in the hole, she co wrote songs with him, and he was on several albums, toured with her live. she convened the early original eagles as an album and live band. a rock and roll summit of talent, ronstadt, frey, henley, leadon, meisner - (rock legend trivia: they wrote witchy woman in her living room while she was out running errands) and david sanborn, waddy wachtel (the great live show and studio guitarist of his era) all put their talents at her disposal. superstar guests and friends like dolly parton, emmylou harris to sing with her. to say nothing of her master producer peter asher. so these music folks were with her every step of the way. the queen always needs her court.

@@countrygirlcountrymusiclov5831 You're a true twatwaddle. A troll, for sure, I know, but still - the musicians DO matter, especially when in unison with a voice like Linda's. In lesser hands, Ronstadt could come across as sterile (like her dreary Nelson Riddle collections - where the voice doesn't match the orchestrations). So stop being a category 5 moron and stop commenting your gobbledygook. Linda would be embarrassed for you.

There were no male dancers pandering to her ego and no over the top stage effects; just her and her talented musicians and here Kenny (I think) harmonising. It is heart-breaking that she is now so ill and will never record or tour again. She was different.

She is sweet here with a great band. I am a woman so I don't fancy her but I can imagine most men would and she needs no tricks - a la Lady Gaga, Madonna, Taylor swift etc. I miss those singers from my youth - I am sure there must be great talent out there (my son assures me) but it is not evident to me.

I must agree with you regarding the merits of this beautiful, and wonderfully sung composition. That said, labels in our society are so consistently misused that one must lament this sad state of affairs at least every now and then... my main background is science, where descriptive terms are very precise, even to the point of being "operationally defined" in a given context. While i realize this isn't possible or even desirable in everyday English, it would be nice if terms were used properly.

This actually isn't pop at all. This is almost Chamber Music. The recorded version has a string quartet. She sang full blown rock, country, country rock, etc. as well as the occasional strange choice, which this was. But it worked. She could sing anything. The one thing she really kind of wasn't was pop.
