You can thank Linda for the Eagles. They were originally studio musicians. They were backing her in the studio and she told them they were too good to just be studio musicians. The rest is history

[@karensilvera6694]

Yes indeed! Did you see induction to the rock and roll Hall of Fame? Glenn Frye's speech was amazing.

[@allenruss2976]

@@karensilvera6694 no but I'll look it up. Thanks

[@kurtsaxton823]

That is false information. Don Henley and Glenn Frey were part of her touring band. At the end of that tour Don and Glenn decided to make their own band. Linda and her boyfriend JD Souther, helped them get musicians together that finally formed Eagles. It's very well documented there's an interview with Linda and an interview with Glenn Frey that says exactly that.

[@RogerThat1986]

​​@@kurtsaxton823- I had always heard that Don Henley sang the male backup on the studio version of this song. Kinda looks like him in this video also. I guess I heard wrong info.

[@kurtsaxton823]

@@RogerThat1986 definitely not. This was a Roy Orbison song, that he was unable to make popular, other people tried as well. Linda killed it. Anyways, Linda's boyfriend at the time JD Souther was friends with Glenn Frey, in her Troubadour days. Don Henley was a Texas outsider. Glenn and Don hit it off while they were on tour with Linda because they were roommates. Linda and JD Souther had everything to do with the Eagles getting started. They introduced them to their future band mates. And fun fact, Linda actually recorded Desperado before Eagles. And of course Don Henley wrote it.

No, it's NOT country... it's Linda Ronstadt. She was an incredible artist and songwriter.

She is a great singer, but Roy Orbison wrote this song - Blue Bayou.

[@flyingmachine7206]

Linda and Patsy Cline were great crossover artists. These were popular on Country and Top 40.

[@PCallahanPhilly]

She was the first American female musician to sell out arenas. And she could sing literally anything.

She could sing the phone book and it would be a gold record

[@steveullrich7737]

As Willie Nelson said, "There are two kinds of men in this world, those who have a crush on Linda Ronstadt and those who have never heard her." And now you have 🙂! She's a national treasure. It's country rock.

[@angelomichael4156]

I can atest to that ! Every young man dream girl

[@rittherugger160]

Who is Linda? Probably the biggest rabbit hole you could ever delve into. Linda has about a dozen Grammys, in almost as many genre's. She has a Tony and she shares a Chinese theatre star with Dolly and EmmyLou Harris. The 'TicketMaster' of the 70s dubbed her Female Performance Artist of the Decade". Google her. Don't be afraid to go off into the odder genres because she rocks it. Mariachi, opera, country, rock, great American songbook, she does it all with ease.

[@JamesJohnson-ig6of]

@rittherugger160. • We shouldn't forget her duet with Aaron Neville, especially the "Live" television performance on Awards night!

[@aliciahager2961]

She even performed in Pirates of Penzance, an opera, opposite Kevin Cline.

[@renatelewis538]

She was it. Linda could sing all the genres. Miss her dearly.

The greatest most versatile female vocalist of her generation.

[@LonghopeBro-ju6jl]

Blue Bayou was originally done by Roy Orbison. If you are feeling homesick for Colorado, that's exactly what her song "Colorado" is about. It was released as a single in 1973 and the B-side was “Desperado”.

She's an amazing singer in any language. I love that whole album too, but think BP should consider La Calandria - fun to know... she doesn't speak Spanish at all.

Canciones De MI Padre...fantastic show I saw her do in NYC...bought the cassette ( at the time) and when my Mexican sister-in- law heard she went out and bought it for her mother.

Start back in 1967 for her first hit, "Different Drum" and move through the decades for hit after hit. She and Karen Carpenter have, in my opinion, the 2 most pure female voices ever. She was Pop Rock but sang some country and put out an album in Spanish as well. She was amazing up to a few years ago when she developed PSP which limits her ability to sing. Would love to see you react to more of her songs so you get an idea of how great she was and the contributions she made to the music industry over the years.

I don't know any guy who was alive in the '70s who wasn't crazy in love with Linda Ronstadt. She sang everything from country to rock to light opera, and she was amazing no matter what she was singing. If you really want to know how good Linda Ronstadt was, find a live video of her singing the Spanish songs La Chareada or La Cigara. If you've got socks on, she'll knock 'em off -- guaranteed.

[@PJAC1]

My all time favourite song by Linda Ronstadt is "Long Long Time"!!! It's a beautiful, heartwrenching song!!!

That one is gold as well as Desperado, imo.

[@HappyDayCC]

Linda Ronstadt is Amazing! I've always loved her!

[@heartwork8318]

Great reaction! this song was originally done by Roy Orbison back in the 60’s. You should check out “When Will I Be Loved” “You’re No Good” and/or her duet with Aaron Neville called “I Don’t Know Much.” All are great songs and I know you will like them! I think of this as more of a folk/rock song. She has an amazing voice and range! ❤️‍🔥✌🏻🫶🏻

[@russellgtyler8288]

A true American treasure. Her voice has been silenced, but her catalog is deep. You can't be a lover of music and then say you've never heard of Linda Ronstadt.

[@JerseyEric]

Roy Orbison wrote & sang Blue Bayou! Two fun facts about Linda Ronstadt: (1) The Eagles formed out of her original session band before they got going with her. (2) On the U.S. pop charts in the 70s, she was the queen of remakes. Blue Bayou was a 1963 hit for Roy Orbison, who wrote the song. Heatwave is one of my favs from Ronstadt . . . the guitar solo captures the essence of 70s pop-rock. ANOTHER interesting fact: Ronstadt, whose father was of Mexican heritage, fought with her recording label to make an album of traditional songs all in Spanish in the late 80s; Ronstadt won the battle and the album, 'Canciones de Mi Padre', did NOT flop. 'Canciones de Mi Padre' became the biggest selling non-English album in U.S. history.

[@sadantnanl1717]

Linda Ronstadt is from Tucson Az. In this area much of our music in the 70’s crossed between rock and country. Her catalog is great. My first concert in 1967 was Linda Ronstadt and the Stone Poneys. Very folk rock.

Influenced musically by Mexican rancheras, she had a stellar collection of hits. But with her release of "Canciones" she created something extraordinary. While her singing voice has been silenced due to an illness, her music and words continue to send ripples of inspiration to listeners.

This is long after the Stone Poneys.

[@davidjennings1771]

@@mikemaricle9941 She sang that song for many years Mike. Maybe this was when she first hired Glen Frey & Don Henley and maybe before them. Roy recorded it in 1963 & sang it live many times too.

Love when you listen to the 70's and 80's classics. The videos are always LIVE where you are able to hear the pure voice, without studio adjustments. Especially some of the women. Linda, Heart, Stevie Nicks, Olivia Newton-John. All had powerful voices. Another Linda R song I loved was Ohh Baby Baby. Sad Parkinson's has ended her singing days.

[@IanFanite]

Hey Pegasus, Ian Fánite here I'm 52 yrs old male who grew up listening to Linda Ronstat most all of my life. My mother had every album ever produced by Linda Ronstat . What you probably don't know about her is she is responsible for Creating the Country Rock band the Eagles. Don Henley, Glen Fry both played for Linda before the formed the Eagles. Also she is of German/ Mexican discent, Whose family hails from Mexico, Linda grew up speaking spainsh, and english.She is the most versatile singer in recorded history. Linda is a recorded Opera singer, Spanish singer, R&B, rock, and country. Linda, could cover anyone's music.. and own it like she wrote it her self. My wife and I are big fan of your show. Keep up the good fight.. That means, keep working on finding that perfect song... F.y.i Van Halen with lead singer David Lee Roth covered Linda Ronstat's song You're no good.. now, I love Van Halen, but Linda's version can not be dismissed at all. Check them all out and you'll see what I mean.

[@renakonar3733]

Yes! "You're No Good" especially the video from her appearance on the tv show "Midnight Special." You'll also want to see her duet of "I Don't Know Much" with Aaron Neville (check out the Neville Brothers for a great Louisiana band.) And if you have time, check out Linda's performance in "The Pirates of Penzance" which is a Gilbert and Sullivan light opera.

[@debbiechang5781]

You have just stumbled on the most beautiful voice on the planet. Linda Ronstadt (the “d” is silent) is an American treasure. Her catalogue spans over forty years and multiple genres. She could sing anything and do it with perfection. She won many Grammy awards along with every other honor and accolade imaginable. Her voice is a powerhouse with a sweet quality that is just amazing. Can’t say enough good things about her talent and her humanity. She was the first female to sell out arenas in the 70’s. This is a great discovery for you and a deep rabbit hole to explore. Enjoy 🌺✌️

[@mstewart109]

Linda Ronstadt “ love has no pride “ and her other 5 ish genres of music including her Spanish heritage music. Unbelievably talent for 6 people really. I grew up in 60s 70s and had her albums.

They were her grp in the recording studio.

[@philipem1000]

If all you know of Linda is to hear this song -- you know you've heard something special. I'm sure its been said below but she was about the most successful female vocalist of the 60s-70s. And a really kind and decent person as well.

[@karensilvera6694]

BP, Another top female rocker from the 70s - my generation. You're just scraping the top surface. She sang damn near every genre. Rock, Country, Latino, Operetta, the crooners, etc, etc, etc. Every time she tried something new her manager and music label would not agree but she did it anyway and ended up in every top 100 chart. She's still alive but no longer can sing due to health issues. She's done some interviews and basically said, 'if I can't sing well then I won't'. She seemingly has a great outlook. I can't even give you the next song to listen to. Close your eyes and hit play. You'll love it. Thank you for listening to her.

Look at her first hit at age 17 or 18, "Different Drum." So happy to see younger people getting to know the best music of the 60s, and '70s.

Linda can and will sing anything including very difficult voice ranges. She'll do them all pitch and tone perfect. The woman can sing!

I dont care if I relate to a song, i just love the SOUND. I hear the music, as in voice and instruments first. Then i find the lyrics.

She is one of the best singers in several genres. She even recorded an album in Spanish.

Linda Ronstadt. Famous famous. Not country. I keep saying, the 70’s was a genre all it’s own. She was a pop hit.

Linda's voice was amazing, it so sad she can't sing anymore. She did one of my favourite duets with Arron Neville, check out the live version of Don't Know Much. She also did a couple of albums as the Trio with Emmylou Harris and the epic Dolly Parton. Their voices were stunning when blended.

It’s sad now, but Linda has been stricken with Parkinson’s disease, and she can no longer sing… it’s like a songbird was silenced. 😢😢😢
