Rapper FIRST time REACTION to Linda Ronstadt & Aaron Neville Don't Know Much live 1990!! BRUH, WHAT

[@AP-gb3eh]

Two gifted professionals who don’t try to outshine each other. Linda was keeping her voice in his range, she always kept her ego in check when singing with other artists, be it a duet or harmony. That is what professionals do ,they make the music . Neville was always surprising, his beautiful falsettos coming out of that man😎The Neville Brothers made great music together

[@dinosaurjc]

During the rehearsal for this performance, Linda hugged Aaron at the end of the song…. The producers told Linda that she was NOT to hug him during the live performance. She agreed not to hug him. So, during the live performance Linda kissed him at the end of the song 😂❤

[@BEEGEES2222]

I thought them kissing each other was awesome, and surprised about all the hoopla made over it.

[@vbxtc625]

Corporate suits are always paranoid about possible controversy...and you don't have to look back any further than the recent Budweiser Light bs to know why.

[@jenniferkasowicz9463]

You will never unhear Neville’s voice. One of the most distinctive! “Tell It Like It Is” by Aaron is a must!

[@jennimac7568]

💯💯

[@pjmurphy920]

Love "Tell It Like It Is!" I was in high school when that was popular.

[@joyceshirley4898]

Love The Grand Tour.

[@joyceshirley4898]

Not all of us are as racist as you assumed.

[@marylebeck2477]

Absolutely! Another one that makes me cry like a baby!

[@joeodekerken4636]

Linda Ronstadt and James Ingram singing Somewhere out There is just as good!!!

[@stephaniegeer1691]

Ohhh, that song always makes me cry!!! I loved American Tail and that song was from that movie, so i grew up with it…good memories. 😊🎶❤️✌🏻

[@Abri412]

No offense to them, but I prefer the version by the mice. 😅

[@annagonzales8178]

"An American Tail" Amazing movie! timely

[@elizabethfranco1284]

Aaron is part of the world famous New Orleans music family The Neville Brothers.

[@sandralybrand9425]

I loved their music and to me Aaron was the most talented. I loved this song and played it a lot! ❤❤

[@cyrilmauras4247]

They've been around the New Orleans music scene since the 50's

[@MariaE41283]

Yes! It is live. The artists that performed and recorded back then didn’t NEED their music enhanced. They had TALENT!

[@pamelamiller3749]

They never were a couple just good friends but the chemistry was real! ❤

[@Yowza78]

Not only was this live, it was live in front of an audience of musical and acting legends. One thing I will say about Linda was that she knew how to sing a duet, how to harmonize. She knew how to modulate her voice to complement her singing partner.

[@oregonchick76]

Another reason why she's so good in Trio I and II with Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris. Brilliant!

[@moniqueleroux2198]

Linda did a great job letting Aaron shine. He is so nuanced and her voice is so powerful...it's like tightrope walking. Masterclass!

[@solleytara]

Aaron Neville "Tell it Like it Is" 1966 unbelievable one of a kind vocals. There is no question when Aaron is singing. Takes 1 second to know it's him 😊

[@moniquesewell2670]

Yes❤

[@JeffPhillips-dn2fg]

Linda R and James Ingram - Somewhere out there. This was the theme song from Disney’s An American Tail in the late 80s. This was a huge hit and a great duet love to see your react to it.

[@pamcrumpler9169]

Oh please do. It's fantastic!!!!!

[@ayame1957]

Yesss!!

[@stoneythestrange3601]

An American Tale is a Don Bluth film made by Steven Spielberg's Amblimation but it's so good I understand thinking it's Disney

[@GrainneScarlett]

​@@stoneythestrange3601 thank god you commented. The animation was largely done in Ireland ❤.

[@melvinmiddleton1458]

I almost forgot about that song until seeing this comment. It brings back good memories as a kid. Beautiful song

[@starlette570]

I love how she didn't pull a diva attitude and try to outshine him. She kept it low key and he killed it, and it was almost magical ✨️

[@BobbiTopacio]

This is live they were at the Grammy's They were warned not to kiss but Linda said FO and did Linda was a truely nice person and a good friend

[@ccm9167]

This is one of the best duets ever done with two of the greatest voices of generations Amazing talent that only comes once in a lifetime ❤🎶

[@Butterflyandhearts95]

Aaron’s Tell It Like It Is and Everybody Plays The Fool are really good

[@joanncoleman8185]

They nailed that song and I love the kiss at the end. Nobody tells Linda what to do...❤❤

[@ingemarsjoo4542]

One of the best love songs ever made.

[@melanieredfield9736]

Don't sleep on Aaron Neville! He has a unique and beautiful voice with natural breaks and a very slow vibrato. It makes him instantly recognizable, and such a pleasure to listen to! He's from Louisiana & was the front man for the Neville Brothers, who had a great sound that mixed jazz and zydeco. His brother Art memorialized Stevie Ray Vaughan by writing "Six Strings Down", a bluesy New-Orleans style dirge, that he gave to Stevie's brother Jimmie Vaughan. You can see Jimmie perform it on a few different KZbin videos, it is something special. To hear Aaron solo, check out his performances of The Grand Tour, Ave Maria, Tell It Like It Is, and Mississippi 1927. Yes you will fall in love with him, as the rest of us have!

[@lydmarl.475]

That is so true, DO NOT SLEEP on Aaron Neville!!. For the Holidays you should also listen to his X-mas album, Aaron Neville a Soulful Christmas!!

[@sandralybrand9425]

Tell it like it is played constantly in our house! ❤❤❤

[@cinm1011]

I’ve listened to Aaron and the Neville Brothers as part of the soundtrack of my life in south Louisiana. You haven’t heard Ave’ Maria until you’ve heard Aaron’s version. It is a magical, angelic masterpiece. I can’t recommend it enough. Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁

[@randyventresca4152]

Great duet. Linda Ronstadt is the greatest most versatile vocalist of her generation.

[@bethpeterson3604]

My husband and mine's favorite song. My husband passed away 8 years ago. On the headstone for his grave I had the words,"Don't Know Much but I Know I Love You".

I have loved this song and these two singing it since the moment I heard them....long ago 🤗 ❣️ 🤗

[@LynnBartlett-un2vp]

One of the most beautifully written songs with 2 legend voices. Ivebread that Linda held back on most of the song to give Aaron tne lead.

[@moniquesewell2670]

Aaron is a great rabbit hole to go down. That voice is incredible!! He can take you to church!!

[@VioletJayne]

These two were one of the best duets out there. this song is gorgeous

[@PhyllisKilts]

His voice just ripples. I just love him and Linda.

[@vanessa4u4evr]

Yes. Aaron was a member of the famous Neville Brothers. Was also a great solo artist. Aaron and Linda were the best of friends. No hanky panky between them.

[@CraftyTimewithCatPearson]

I’ve always loved Aaron Neville. One of the most beautiful voices of time. ❤

[@richardrenfroe676]

This is when true talent still existed and power duets were the thing to make good music and as you called it baby making music love this music from my generation

[@danacasey8543]

Listen to Linda Ronstadt sing in Spanish! It will blow you away!

[@pamelahofman1785]

Yes!

[@BrookePS23]

Yay!!! ❤ My Mom LOVED this song and this was a blast from the past! She played this all the time on our record player set up in the living room! Great song! 😍 I LOVE Linda!!

[@caseyhazelman2390]

Yes, the Neville Brothers! NOLA band play R&B, Blues and Zydeco. Formed in 1976. Awesome!

[@ThistleAndSea]

Aaron & Linda did several duets together back in the day. They fit like a glove!

[@laurasutherland8928]

Aron Neville....and Linda are GEMS 💎 💎 ❤❤

[@Shelly-cp7gj]

“ I didn’t know” and now you do. Wondrous, ain’t it? Aaron Neville is beyond words and you already knew the same goes for Linda R. Ive listened to virtually every song Aaron put out and his music never ever gets old.

[@SarahFromCanada]

This performance is a happy memory for me. Watching the Grammy Awards on my nana and papa's big old tv that weighed a ton and had 2 channels if the antenna was facing the right direction. lol

[@wsafford8196]

Aarons version of Ava Maria takes you to Gods Feet it is absolutely Angelic. I was soaked in tears the first time I heard it, and then hearing it live! Was mind blowing.

[@vickybrackin7483]

One of my absolute favorite songs ever!!❤❤

[@laurenblainebamartistmgt]

You might have heard Aaron Neville do a cover of George Jones’ “The Grand Tour”. Talk about FIRE!! I love what they do together on this song. Their harmonies - you might die from goose bumps!

[@Libragirl2369]

Linda and James Ingram Somewhere out there is a good one also

[@davidroseman4917]

Aaron Neville has one of the most unique voices in all of music. His music is must hear if you're not familiar with him. These 2 also have a duet titled Close your eyes

[@Mko007]

This song was so beautiful when they sang it together

[@tiacalhoun3841]

Hands down, the best duet ever recorded and performed!!!!!!

[@christineschutten248]

This song always gave me goosebumps and chills. Their voices are so beautiful and when they blend it just makes me want to cry.

[@danastordalen623]

I did cry 😂❤

[@mariaeisenhardt2296]

Arron is a New Orleans born. Of course he knows jazz and blues. And yes the Neville brother are all great musicians. I’ve seen them many times performing in the city.

[@katherinebosse5706]

Aaron…Bird on a Wire!!! ❤️‍🔥

[@gailmarcum9163]

I love Aaron and all the Neville Brothers. Thanks for this reaction. Hopefully, you will do more of Aaron.

This is one of my all-time favorite songs.....

[@lilamuzik3385]

You need to hear Aaron sing Ave Maria.....maybe for Christmas?

[@lydmarl.475]

And O holy night, just breathtaking!!!

[@belvagurr403]

Linda did an album with Aaron called CRY LIKE A RAINSTORM HOWL LIKE THE WIND!!! Awesome duets. Before this appearance Linda was asked not to be too familiar with Aaron and keep her distance. She showed them!!!

[@bmorse68]

Aaron Neville.....Don't take away my Heaven...banger for ever !!!!!!

I used to get teary thinking of finding love like this song. Now, I get teary remembering a 25yr love...like this song. RIP Matthew, my forever 💔

[@american_cosmic]

I've sorta given up on ever getting myself together enough to go back out and try to find that kind of love... but hearing songs like this, just for a moment, I feel like I did when I was younger and there was all the time and hope in the world. I'm only in my early 40's but I feel older.

I am glad that I lived during the time that I did. Performances like this are what I grew up with. Even on late night TV, you would get unfiltered live performances.

[@mindigd]

Aaron Neville's voice is magical, and paired with Linda Ronstadt, there are just no words for it. I have goosebumps throughout the performance every time I hear it. Incredible.

[@cherylwilson8743]

I adore Aaron Neville.

[@samueltabo3390]

They won a Grammy award for this song in 1990 and this was live at the Grammy awards. They were dating during this time

[@lydmarl.475]

A lot of people claim this, it is a controversial thing, I believe he was married, they are just very good friends! The timeline does not make any sense, he married his 1st wife in 1959 and had several children, she passed away in 2007 and he remarried in 2010, to a photographer. Do not know where this rumor started him dating Linda!

[@personalcheeses8073]

Nonsense they were both spoken for. Just two professionals doing their job.

[@theadviser123]

You are correct.

[@theadviser123]

@@lydmarl.475 If you research this, you will find out they were dating at the time.

[@tracygann8914]

It's one of my favorite duets!

I watched this performance when it was originally broadcast. Great, great live duet, when singers didn't try to outsing each other.

Aaron's Christmas music is also wonderful! He is so talented

Two iconic voices coming together to create magic. In spite of the kiss, they were never in love or dating. 🌸💐🎄

[@Claudiandrea49]

And at the end….the sweetest and softest kiss that crowned this beautiful interpretation❤❤❤❤

[@rustyconlan2165]

After this performance, he looked at Linda and said “ I’ll see you at the Grammys!!

[@destination22ful]

Linda always takes a step back on all duets and trios because of her powerful voice. That said, Aaron delivers.

[@danastordalen623]

Absolutely! I was thinking the same.

[@BelindaTN]

Arron Neville has such a unique vocal style. No one sounds like him. He is great.

[@mrsphughes]

Aaron Neville singing “Ave Maria” will give goose bumps!

[@kristenjoyce2180]

Linda Ronstadt has the voice of an angel...and Neville is SO underrated, I think it was because of all the competition at the time.

[@cliftonparago4547]

Linda was trying so hard not to over power his voice because we all know the power she had

[@bkm2797]

Adore Aaron’s vocals, and with Linda it’s magical! Thanks B.P.👍💕

[@marylebeck2477]

I'm sobbing, just like I always do when I hear this song. It is one of the few that keeps hitting me in the gut, and heart...they're so close together. Those voices are magic!

They first sang together at New Orleans Jazz Fest. Linda says they were never a couple, but very very dear lifelong friends.

Really nice for Linda to Have aaron take control of this song. Made it so much nicer,

She is incredible- she doesn't perform any longer due to MS, but I saw her in an interview say that she still sings with family. ❤

Hearing this reminded me of someone you might enjoy doing reactions to. His name is Terry Fator and he is a ventriloquist but most of his act is him doing singing impressions of different singers. He is VERY good and won Americas Got Talent a few years ago.

I llove this song. Have since it was first released.

[@wtk6069]

This is another of those songs that was everywhere. It got a ton of play on country radio as well because of Linda. I was in college at the time, and I remember flipping my radio between the big Top 40 Pop station and the county station, and this song was playing on both simultaneously!

[@AngB517]

I love this man's voice. It's just soothing and very awesome. I think all these duets are my favorites. They kissed because they weren't supposed to hug! She wasn't the only artist to basically tell TV Execs to Kiss Their Ass. Gabrielle Carteris was told not to hug Alfonso Ribeiro (Carlton Banks) after she reached him on a highwire, it pissed her off and she asked if he minded if she gave a kiss.
