One day you're gonna find Acid Bath. I will be here when that day comes.

[@donnadubyak6504]

Is that Chaka Chan singing with her or Ronnie Spector?

[@maxbrazil3712]

I saw Linda live in 1979. She came on stage barefoot, wearing a simple peasant blouse and tattered jeans, then proceeded to blow the roof off. No crazy light show, no dancers, no lip syncing to auto tune, just pure explosive talent.

[@paulkane7771]

Man, I envy you. That must have been incredible.

[@calumm8639]

Great performance, By the way, the backing singer in yellow is Clydie King. She sang backing vocals on Sweet Home Alabama, among a load of other stuff. The Stones, Bob Dylan etc.

[@MrVicDog]

This band is incredible! Skunk Baxter on the bongos, Drummer from Little Feat on drums, Backup singer in gold is Gordie Barry's niece. Andrew Gold on lead.

[@alankillian4962]

I thought that was "Skunk". Great producer, percussionist, fantastic guitarist. Later of Steely Dan

[@carolcampbell2041]

Linda Ronstadt is the best female vocalist ever!!! OMG!

[@TT-wb3ke]

The three of you together are gold.

[@jasongilbert2379]

Linda has a Hell of a Voice!!

[@timshelton8535]

One hell of a performance!!!

[@Jules-um4yy]

Linda has such a beautiful voice. Such a shame that she does not sing anymore but thank goodness we have all of this history to keep on listening to her great voice! Great to see the three of you again - you always crack me up especially with those moves. Love it!!😊🧡

[@carlacook1128]

Jules, she can't sing anymore, she has a degerative disease.

[@grantcarpenter6685]

This reaction video is amazing! The three of you just boogie to this tune without so much as a hint of shyness! You carry on, lads!

[@desertrose4946]

One of my fave Linda Ronstadt performances. Dig the singer in gold suit... she's 🔥! Love seeing your bros.

[@tuckerplum8085]

"Another one. Where you find these people at, man?" Linda Ronstadt was the biggest female performer in popular music of her day. (However famous Beyonce is, today? THAT was the level of fame that Linda had in the 1970s) Before Linda, no woman had ever been an all encompassing head-liner quite like that. She controlled her own career in a way that no woman had done before that. To this day, people are amazed at all the different genres in which she performed. That was because Linda had the talent, and the POWER and influence, to release whatever material she wanted to release. And it would sell. And it would win Grammys. She is a total LEGEND.

[@ronileigh9336]

You should do all reactions with your brothers. All 3 of you go together. It makes me feel happy.

[@ceciliajones7816]

We raised our daughter listening to all kinds of music through all different eras. She shocks lots of people with her musical knowledge. How many people know about Braddah Iz?

[@olgaramirez7739]

This is a great reaction!!!! Im love it.. this is authentic music

[@chuckschussman]

I've never heard this version before. Just fantastic!

[@SCA440]

Saw her in 82... No autotune, no fancy shit. Just pure raw talent. Best show ever

[@blakekeithley3400]

Linda was the first female stadium performer. First female platinum album. Still holds the record for consecutive platinum albums. She demolished the 1970s and set the bar for all female performers with “heart like a wheel” prisoner in disguise. Hasten down the wind and simple dreams. Those four albums are what other female singers are judged by. Her range of work is unparalleled. But if you want to be blown away.. the song is “”down so low”” Wrap a bungee cord around your head to keep your top from blowing off. The band were the hottest studio musicians in the country. They were famous and stars of the LA music scene. They would become The Eagles . Don Henley, Glen Frey, Randy Meisner.

[@firedoc5]

Linda was my first album cover crush. And when you listen to her voice it makes you fall even more in love with her. She has such a voice that she could sing different genres, including opera. One of her early hits was "Different Drum" when she was with Stone Pony. Some of her band wanted to go on their own and she gave them her blessings to do so. They eventually started a little band called The Eagles.

[@TheSmokey999]

Mine too

[@ceciliajones7816]

What members formed The Eagles?

[@molsongrrrl]

@Cecilia Jones Glen Frey and Don Henley were a part of Ronstadt's early back up band ... when she was touring in vans. They shared a hotel room and started writing music together. Eventually they told Ronstadt and her then manager that they wanted to start their own band. She was very supportive.

[@ceciliajones7816]

@@molsongrrrl Stone Pony ended in 1968. None of those members formed The Eagles. Bernie Leadon was part of her band in the early 70s and he was a founding member of the Eagles. She snagged Frey when Bernie left for the Flying Burrito Brothers.

[@molsongrrrl]

@Cecilia Jones I watched the linda ronstadt documentary. Frey and Henley were in her backup band after she went solo when stoney ponies disbanded. She and her manager suggested leadon to them for the eagles. Henley also said she helped the band a lot by covering desperado. I'm pretty sure the movie is on KZbin, so you could watch it.

[@Debcatawba]

I saw her in concert 1976 on this very tour. She was amazing. An outdoor venue called Blossom Music Center on a hot summer night and the concert tour was titled the Your’re No Good tour. Ohhhh, the memories …..

[@safromnc8616]

You be from Cleveland....

[@mikemaricle9941]

I saw her in 77 & 80.

[@Debcatawba]

@@safromnc8616 Yes indeed.

[@harlanchess8056]

Gorgeous important pipes especially Live. Always let her bandmates shine. The best kiss- song ever.

[@mikecaetano]

Back in the day it wasn't stealing so much as it a shout out to the original. Covering a song meant the song was worth making into a standard. Betty Everett charted with "You're No Good" in 1963. Linda Ronstadt's Midnight Special performance is from 1973. She took it to the top of the charts in 1974. The arrangement on her version befits the seventies quite well.

[@pitapanda8319]

Jose Feliciano introducing Linda Ronstadt. Wonderful. Linda could, and did, sing any danged thing. Favorite female vocalist of all time.

[@honorsilverthorne7227]

😁 NOW you're playing one of my favorite songs of ALL time ‼️💖🎼💖🎼💖🎼😁

[@julieparker7606]

I never thought of her as a country performer. Her voice is so soulful. She also sings in Spanish. Look up La Cigarra, it's one of my favorites.

[@averyce2]

Right? I didn't either!!! But, but did you know Linda is Mexican?

[@jeremyhodge6216]

@@averyce2 indeed she is 😌

[@dsusan17]

Such a smooth presentation..

[@CynthiaJFinnegan]

"The Midnight Special" and the original SNL were my favorite late night shows when I was a tween and young teen. I stayed up late every Friday and Saturday night just to groove on the music.

[@SeasonedCitizen]

I was right there with you...laying in front of the console TV on blue/green shag carpeting! Lol

[@10Shun]

the best part was when the yellow lady wiggled and shimmyed and y'all shouted in unison... "Hey!" I just about fell of my chair crackin LOL

[@mikehigbee4754]

I love when you and the boys do your thing. It brings fun and perspective to the world!

[@raenellefisher8514]

My go-to soap back in the 20th century was As the World Turns. I watched the others more casually, but I simply loved ATWT.

[@bomagosh]

The conga player is Jeff "skunk" Baxter, who was a founding member of Steely Dan (played on their first three albums, including the guitar solo on Ricki Don't Lose That Number) and then joined the Doobie Brothers on guitar. When Tom Johnston, one of the leaders of the Doobies, was hospitalized, Baxter suggested the Doobies hire the Steely Dan backup singer Michael McDonald.

[@DJK3115]

Thanks for gettin' down with this wonderful performance on Midnight Special. These were such wonderful live shows!

[@olga138]

Cracks me up when you guys get groovin'. Linda is my all-time favorite singer and I bet I've listened to this song 1,000 times or more. Thanks, guys.

[@johnterpack3940]

I guess I'm lucky. There was damn near everything playing in my house growing up. That was back when doo-wop was still on the radio. We'd watch "Lawrence Welk" every week along with "Hee Haw". My dad was a lounge singer for a while, my mom was soloist in every church she ever attended. I can jam to the Temptations just as easily as I can to Megadeth.

[@mimigina7439]

Love these reactions with your brothers!

[@mowalker483]

Midnight Special was the ish! After football game’s eating Jack in the Box tacos and fries! This was everything!

[@beatlesarebest]

OK. The Three of you need to do this LIVE ... as in IN CONCERT!!!!

[@lenelenore]

I was lucky enough to grow up listening to a wide variety of music, but I realized a while back that I really don’t have a lot of experience with the popular music of the past 15 years or so, because I listen to the stuff I already own and love. So I’ve been trying to seek out new stuff, to expand my horizons. I see lots of reaction videos done by folk who’re younger than I am, listening to the music I grew up with and love. I need to try to find some channels that show old farts like me listening to music from the past 20 years or so! Heh. Oh, and I grew up hooked on General Hospital and One Life to Live because by god, grandma wasn’t gonna miss her stories, so I watched them, too. I finally broke that habit when I was a newlywed and my husband and I got sent with the AF to a base in Italy, and we had no American TV to watch. Tried to keep up with the stories for a while by buying the soap opera magazine, but finally let that habit die. It was a strange addiction for a little kid, I guess, but man, I was as invested in those characters as grandma was.😆

[@olgaramirez7739]

Omg!!! Lol I would love the opportunity to react with you guys!!

[@averyce2]

Jamel, another great video with your Bros. I'm 51 y.o. and never knew Linda was a "country star"?!? Van Halen remade this classic on their 1979 sophomre release "Van Halen II"

[@MomofTwins1992]

She has a beautiful voice and Midnight Special...I'm actually old enough to remember that show and today's artists dont have this kinda raw talent! Oh and you guys together are hilarious!!😂😂

[@Julie-ev5js]

The banana catsuit comment is an instant classic. Love the reactions. Great music is TIMELESS!

[@rollon863]

She looks a lot like Irene Cara

[@joannaray5846]

I love watching you three react together! Its almost like the three stooges lol

[@susansmith5844]

I'm still here, Jamel! And I especially enjoy when you include your brothers and your Mom in your videos. I'm not going anywhere!

[@The_Philosopher_King701]

You're No Good" is a song written by Clint Ballard Jr., first performed by Dee Dee Warwick for Jubilee Records in 1963 with production by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. It has since been covered by many artists, including charting versions by Betty Everett in 1963, The Swinging Blue Jeans in 1964, and Linda Ronstadt in 1974, whose version was a number 1 hit in the United States.

[@AK00777]

This was great!

[@realhipp2013]

I love that ya'll are looking at these performances that I grew up with! Linda can no longer sing, but your experience with her gift is solid gold!

[@donotconcede]

OMG you guys had me rolling 🤣🤣🤣

[@joelliebler5690]

Fantastic live performance!

[@d.t.r.8036]

Yes, Kelly Ripa was Hailey on AMC. and, J, seems to me that last storyline on OLTL that I recall with Antonio, he was killed in the line of duty -- but that was sooo long ago, I can't be sure. 🤣

[@Teresia12]

The chair dancing is strong with this one.

[@meliplay]

Back in the day her drummer with the stone ponys was an artist we all know very well as Don Henley as in the eagles

[@Windupchronic]

Don Henley was never a member of the Stone Poneys. He had been with a band called Shiloh, which released one album before it broke up. He and Glenn Frey were then recruited to be Linda's backing band for her upcoming tour in '71. The Stone Poneys had already been broken up for three years by that point, and Linda a solo artist.

[@meliplay]

@@Windupchronic i misremembered i thought he was a stine pony

[@Triggerhippie70]

Linda Ronstadt is a bad ass

[@casandramackall1547]

Hi “J”! Great seeing you guys again. Hope Laron is enjoying married life. Peace Man! 😘🥰

[@OneThousandHomoDJs]

Nice to hear some other men appreciating the physical appeal of the Blackberries. Love the moves. ;)

[@TheSmokey999]

One of my favorite Linda Rhondstat songs 🎉

[@maryreilly5092]

Trust me, The Banana Jumpsuit is DEFINITELY back in style right now! Unfortunately, Ms. Linda Ronstadt has some sort of disorder whereby she now can no longer ever be able to sing again. 😥

[@Liisa3139]

I love Jose Feliciano.♥♥♥

[@kamaliancirranoush1916]

Thanks Jamel, needed this today. Love to you and your brothers.

[@matthooks5840]

You're right J. You have to go looking for this music.

[@dagmar.6954]

Linda Ronstadt is one of the best female singers & can sing any genre whether ballads, country, rock or opera. She has had so many hits such as "Blue Bayou", "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.

[@Stephen-nd1sx]

And looked damn good doing it!

[@davidhunter801]

Lots of great stuff in this video, but what makes it killer (to me) is Richie Hayward of Little Feat on drums, and the great guitarist Skunk Baxter on.... congas.

[@MrBlackstallion009]

I always tell people to explore different genres of music. They might be surprise what they may hear.

[@jeffmorse645]

Her band was always great. Andrew Gold on guitar frequently was with her (did backing vocals as well).

[@Cafe_Con_Christy]

Love Linda Ronstadt! Great reaction and video as always! Can you react to Kristen Cruz's AGT audition singing I See Red? Please!!! 😀

[@dannylegarda8587]

Love Linda! Listen to Juice Newton

[@jeffflowers5489]

3:26 looks like Jamel is playing the guitar! 😀

[@jmecklenborg]

When the soap operas came on, I WENT OUTSIDE.

[@kathyowens4811]

😅😅😅😅 You guys are funny. 😄 If the Griffin Brothers post a new video, I know I'll get a laugh that day. And Jamel, I think you must have lived in the same childhood home that I grew up in. Know about those soap operas. My grandmother would have the TV station tuned in to soaps. Next she would be SSNNORRINNGG. 😴💤😴💤 Here's my chance. 🤫 I wanted to watch cartoons. Changed the channel. Grandmom woke up. Never had anything thrown at me. Boy did I get yelled at. " You better turn back to my soap operas". But Grandmom, you were asleep". 😴 I sat through 3 sometimes 4 soaps. Still watching some. I blame my grandmother.

[@236260]

Your fans have now made me aware of a Van Halen cover. I never knew that before. Also, now your brother has introduced the phrase “banana cat suit“ into my vocabulary. I will find an opportunity to use that.

[@popguynj]

Guys you can't forget dark shadows classic over 1,000 episodes from on air from 1966 to 1971 could be 1070 first soap with vampires witches ghost cant for get time travail

[@safromnc8616]

Linda made every song her own....She made most covers....better than they were to begin with.

[@OneThousandHomoDJs]

This version is my favorite, even though the first version I ever heard was Van Halen's............

[@alexakl6445]

It's not surprising that your sons are as good-natured and nice as you are! Yeah, but I love the grit in Linda's voice. This is a great performance!

[@debbiebell1801]

Live Linda ! Have you listened to Matt Minglewood.

[@jerichohill487]

Great video

[@larrylindgren9484]

She's a lady that you have to say, "It's not fair other female singers to be that pretty and have a voice like that." It's unfair.

[@stevechevy3382]

Nice. Speaking of those covers. I heard the Van Halen version first.

[@chillywilly9080]

“What happened to Antonio on One Life to Live” 🤣🤣🤣

[@thisguy1520]

She is the Queen of Covers

This is a classic tune,Van Halen crushed this as well on Van Halen 2,I believe to be the best album.

[@madubatuwangala1646]

Next, listen to the cover of this song by Van Halen please.

[@esmeraldapooner751]

Here is the tres amigos. Like I said, and here in the comment section she sings in Spanish too. And she does such a good job you would wonder how she learned English so fast. The same thing they said about Selena.
