Linda Ronstadt - What's New (Original Video)

[@colldollm51]

Beautiful Linda, she makes other singers look like novices. Clear, melodious, effortless. Thank you for everything you've given us, Miss LInda!

[@LGranthamsHeir]

1983 music video: no dances, no nudity, no sexual undertones. Just some simple flashback movie scenes, a powerful ballad and the breathtaking voice of Ms. Linda Ronstadt. End result: A magical performance that is still a joy to watch 40 years after it was first made.

[@chinaclipper1]

OMG! Why am I now just seeing this??? This song always ALWAYs makes me tear up. I just really don't know why. Her emotions in this song are just so real, maybe I am feeling them myself. What an artist! Brava Linda!!

[@richardnotman787]

Absolutely one of the finest voices of our (or any) time.

[@GaryNoone-jz3mq]

Just a slight correction. You can drop the "one of." She is just the Greatest Of All Time. 😊❤

[@Aramanth]

Just beautiful... That voices melts right in the ear. Try not to fall in love when she sings out that line *"I still love you so..."* 🌹 Still love you, Linda!

[@mdmarko]

Will never forget listening to this as I drove away from the hospital late on the afternoon in December 1983 when my daughter was born.

What a truly, beautiful reflection. :)

[@williamsstephens]

I also birthed a daughter in December 1983. Best Christmas gift ever.

[@bettyhudson1703]

if anybody else ever decides to do a "Standards" album or 4 like Linda Ronstadt did...they are gonna have a tough time doing it better than she did or even getting close to her...she has done numerous interviews about recording the "Standards" with Nelson Riddle and that she had a deep passion to do them...and that's the difference her "Passion" for the music...she didn't do them for fame or fortune her record company and her producer Peter Asher did not want her to do them she did them because she thought this "Great" music was going to be lost to time and wanted do her part to try and save it...its a crime that this dreadful disease took her AWESOME voice away...prayers for Linda...amen

[@Jackvrvideos]

She brings tears to my eyes ❤

[@freedom4mealways]

Linda Ronstadt was truly the epitome of American classical musicians. She was great in both the genres of country and jazz music. This forty year old song is testament to that.

[@maozselah3767]

She really rocked this song no other artists can do it better for me. I love this song thank you Linda 💕💕💕

[@johngreener9784]

It was soooo daring, yet brilliant that she did this (these) album with Nelson Riddle! At her peak, she switched gears. I was all of 21, enlisted in the Air Force up in Fairbanks, AK, when this came out. I got the side eye from most of my Air Force friends when I showed them this album. But I freaking love it! i remember reading an interview with Nelson who said the only problem with Linda was getting her to SLOW DOWN for the slower tempos of these songs... Wow! A great voice to great classics that I had never heard before.... Thanks Linda!!

[@martywillichuk6930]

She brought a whole new side of music I never knew existed. There will never be another Linda Ronstadt!!!

[@timothyeaton6986]

Linda's voice, whether back in her Stone Poneys days through Nelson Riddle and beyond, never fails to stop me in my tracks. Phenomenal.

[@katherineholten8878]

I have always loved her voice, hers was the first really big concert that I saw outside of pub bands, her voice is still mesmerising

[@dannygraham7885]

Getting kicked out of Your Group is new!!!!

[@franciscoalfonsosalinas161]

Inolvidable su voz y su cara expresiva con una mirada tierna. ¡Preciosa ella y esta canción!

[@michaeltriba1307]

Wow; how romantic is this?!?!? Linda Ronstadt was one of the most most beautiful and talented vocalists of my or any generation!!! Has anyone ever seen such gorgeous eyes? I'm in love with her all over again!

[@johnkaszuba335]

Hi Michael. Isn't Linda wonderful? She is the best.

[@EJSmith-dk3yg]

What do you mean "again" ... I never fell out of love with her, since I saw her in a 1976 concert ?!

[@jszoradi8650]

Wow this sure brings me back to the good old days of the early 80's when people were real unlike today. Linda Ronstadt was magical in this video with a fabulous voice to go with it. I miss the 80's 😔

[@BillGreenAZ]

This is one of my favorite songs of all time. I still remember where I was when it came out.

[@ItzMeOB]

Every time I listen to this, I get goosebumps. Magnificent Linda Ronstadt.

[@ScottFromIdaho]

Such a pure, wonderful voice! I could listen to her forever.

[@PhilipGeorgeHarfleet]

What makes this great song so wonderful is Linda's deep feeling for the words of this creation. How many thousands of us are touched by the love that somehow slipped away, so swiftly and sadly. Even worse is the harshness of Parkinson's that hit this beautiful, beautiful, lovely woman, causing her to stop singing. Tragic; life is so treacherous at times. Frank Sinatra is my top version of this song with Linda a very close next best.

[@jeffcraven7376]

Phil, This is one of my favorite recordings and a day wouldn't be a day to me if I didn't include the big band sound in it. Bob Crosby (Bing's brother) did maybe the first recording of this in the '30's...An ultra beautiful version. Still Linda's is my favorite.

[@heribertoflorentin3757]

I like eidye gormet's version a tiny bit better. But this is great singing by this Lady of Music.

[@mikedavino2400]

It's not Parkinson's It's called Progressive supranuclear palsy en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_supranuclear_palsy

[@thomasquinn284]

Linda can weave magic with this song.

[@metallicarockdisco]

Just a kid who loved music videos, watching Night Tracks late on a Friday night, waiting for his favorite rock videos. Then this song comes on, and I sat in stunned silence from start to finish. Stunned by the beauty, stunned by the voice. That was 41 years ago. Even to this day, I can imagine her singing this in some smoky jazz club, silencing the crowd with the slow burn. Love it!

[@j8464m]

Linda did an absolute perfect job singing this song

[@noahvale939]

Except that she's singing a bit flat (and sharp in places), and her lip-synching is off.

[@SPAZZOID100]

@@noahvale939 Bullshit.

[@charles2241]

I'm not sure if I could find a single one of her pop songs I ever liked, but her torch music was way over the fence, even more so for the fact it was sang in an era forty years after that sort of music vanished.

Could there be a more beautiful song, with such a beautiful arrangement, and such a beautiful rendition, by such a beautiful lady? If so, I haven't found it.

[@BetterqQoL]

I doubt you ever will find anyone who you can compare her to

[@harlow9175]

The trio of albums she did with Nelson are brilliant. Music that is absolutely timeless.

[@tinkaluisa8540]

Props to the incomparable Nelson Riddle and his orchestra.

[@davecrowder7312]

They make this song what it is. In fact, everything she did with nelson Riddle was goo because of him and his orchestra.

[@stevareno6995]

and teaching her how to sing that big band era style which of course she nailed

[@johntiggleman4686]

She has made so many great recordings over the years, but I absolutely LOVE her recordings of old "standards" from the 30s and 40s with the late Nelson Riddle and his Orchestra. Now I have to go put on that album.

[@ronaldmorrison1369]

I still get chills just looking at her. She is fantastic.

[@jmatt4life]

18 years old and mesmerized with this song and album back then. And then we got a trilogy that I still listen to and am still MESMERIZED!!!

[@foxbat2549]

Reminds me of someone who broke my heart during the mid-1980's. Beautifully done by Linda but a very sad and disappointing memory that comes back to haunt me now and then . . .

[@gpippind]

I'm sorry for your bad memories. I hope someone special comes into your life to help you forget about the person who hurt you

[@josephsciacca8296]

Linda was the best. I was very sad to watch the ending of her special On CNN. Just an incredible performer

[@rcnelson]

I bought this album for my parents when it first came out, and they loved it. I could weep.

[@juliestrom412]

Brings tears, how classy 🚣

[@brucerobbins3584]

When Linda takes it up a 4th, my heart skips a beat. Such a voice!! Perfection!!! She to me remains tthe most underrated singer. She could sing anythng and make it sound great; and of course, she always looked great!!!

[@8635Dreamer]

One of the greatest female singers of all time, in with the likes of Barbra Streisand. And one of the sexiest and sultriest women of her generation !!

[@TheThenaturalhigh]

She leaves even Streisand behind. Look This performance is amazing.

[@vickif2939]

She was so original. Nothing fake. Back when music was so beautiful. A lost art in this era.. I will sing your song with great respects Linda Ronstadt ❤

[@kassandraayalasongs]

Aghhh, the way she sings "how is the world.... treating you?" gets me especially! Genius.

[@scheherazadenoir5950]

Ahhh.... what does it for me is the end, when she so passionately pleas out, "I still love you sooooooo" 💔 Heartbreak, pure heartbreak.

[@tatyana6063]

This is such a fave Linda Ronstadt song. Also, now that I hear it, especially again. It really calms me down, even now that I still have a headache a bit.

[@geoffreysonnen3482]

In 1982, I'd met a man who'd hired me for some work in NYC, and he told me to keep an eye out for a resurgence of music from the 40s to be hitting the airways in the next year. I had a feeling he was a "Big Wig" in the biz since I'd shared with him some of my own experiences regarding Robert Stigwood, Alan Carr, etc., and he was veritably finishing my sentences! Lo-and-behold, a year later, Linda came out with "What's New?", so it was pretty incredible. Next thing you know, nearly everyone; Barry Manilow, Barbra Streisand, Toni Tennille, etc., were putting their incomparable stamps on many classic songs. It makes sense, since no matter how old they are, a great song is forever! Linda was the leader in this resurgence, though, and wow, this album simply shines!

[@kassandraayalasongs]

I have to look it up, I had thought the same too that Linda did the retro thing first in the 80s but I think Carly Simon did with torch album or even what’s his name Harry Nilsson! Schmilson in the night I love Linda’s standards albums very much 💗

[@ThomGuida]

The words, her voice, her longing but hopeful look, the handsome dude, (but a magician? - not a knock, they needed a Pro not a clown), Nelson Riddle's band and arrangement, - ahh, having known unrequited myself so long ago - Linda reminded me of the beauty of that deep love and pain of it not happening or working out and the "hopeful" meeting. I tell ya I feel the emotional high and then the unmatched heartache every time I hear it. Thank you Linda, it is just perfect as perfect can be, 1983 - through eternity. =)

[@ChaseRiverBand]

A classic throughout eternity. Perfection.

[@519forestmonk9]

Damn she had such an amazing voice. The age of great vocalists (male and female) are behind us.

[@ENDTIMEsVideoLibrary]

When this came out is was barely old enough to drive and I was working miles away from home so to ease my nerves while driving in the rain at night I would listen to the What's New Album on cassette. It's still one of my favorites to this day.

Very nice. The trumpets reminds me of a good friend of mine, now deseased who played trumpet in his younger days in his teens snuck out of house to go to gigs for some local big bands. Way before my birth, but I remember him one night picking up a trumpet and doing some of this. Fantastic! He was like a dad to me. He was Army Aircorps WWII POW.

It lightens up my day and listening to your songs gives me a nice feeling . I also sing and I'm dying to copy your voice. Sadly, I can't. Your voice is one of a kind and only you can sing that way superbly. If only I could have those pipes, I'll sing all of the songs you havent been able to sing.

Frank Sinatra 1958 with Nelson Riddle is the best because it's haunting as is the album it stems from Sings For Only The Lonely. The trombone solo on Sinatra's is great.
