WIFE FIRST TIME HEARING LINDA RONSTADT - LA CHARREADA | REACTION

[@jasonnelson9707]

I was 18 yrs old and my mother called and said she got 4 tickets from work for free and would I want them. I took 3 friends and it was in an outdoor arena in the summer in Chicago. Imagine our surprise when she came out as a mariachi and the whole concert was in Spanish. At first we were confused and then we knew we were experiencing something very very special. It was phenomenal and the best part was she came out and did an encore of Blue Bayou and You’re no good. The 2 songs I wanted so badly to hear. A magical night for sure.

[@danevans5823]

Wow,a truly blessed night.I envy you

[@JerisEve]

This album, Canciones de Mis Padres (Songs of My Fathers) was successful, so she released a second one called Mas Canciones (More Songs). Both albums are fantastic, like everything Linda does. Thanks for doing this. Glad your wife is participating.

I've seen Linda live many times. Every time she was nothing short of perfection. ✌

[@justineapril7922]

I have loved Linda Ronstadt since the early 70s. She began as the lead singer of The Stone Poneys ("Different Drum") and when she went solo, her backing band consisted of members of The Eagles! I was able to see her live in 1978 in San Diego. Of course, it was at the height of her pop career, but omfg!! And her voice sounded exactly like her studio recordings. Too bad her health has declined as of late and she no longer performs live, but we have these videos! 🎤💃😍

[@MitchellWilkinson-m8n]

Linda Ronstadt singing is beyond magnificent - clear, strong, dynamic, full of loving passion.

[@kima.4268]

I am so excited a reactor finally listened to this. She is an amazing singer and this is one of her very best albums.

[@hmm3484]

Linda is my all-time favorite female singer. As you pointed out, her range is incredible.

There is nothing that Linda can’t do with her voice. She has done done rock, crooner classics and anything she wants to.

[@michaelbeerbados3291]

I bought the album a million years ago and it is always on my phone. Linda is incomparable.

[@2zxodcfm]

For her ability to master/own any genre at any tempo she sings and in more than one language seemingly effortlessly, Linda Ronstadt stands atop my 70 plus years list of favorite female singers. The competition is steep but she is deserving of this crown. A decision for which I have no hesitation.

[@26shedan]

she was my favorite pop/rock artist of the 70's when I was a teen. All the guys rocked Led Zeppelin and the girls would come home and listen to Linda. Now at 62 I am way into Zeppelin but Linda holds alot of my teenage feelings in her music from back then. She was amazing!

[@mistersnitty7721]

Nah... us guys went home and listened to Linda, too.

[@mstewart109]

Hey, I listened two my 2 top favorites Led Zeppelin and Linda Ronstadt

[@cristobalvalladares973]

Enjoyed it. Nice looking couple. Linda Ronstadt is a throw back to a time when singing counted. She was also fearless. She explored multiple genres. My only regret is she didn't go into salsa.

[@georgecoventry8441]

One of the greatest vocalists ever!

[@squidkid2]

They say there are two kinds of people, the ones who are in love with Linda and those who have never seen or heard her!

My favorite Linda Ronstadt latin album is Frenesi. I played it for friends in Havana and they were amazed.

[@heyou702pc]

Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of my Voice is a great documentary of her life and career from her childhood in Tucson through her decades long career and to her retirement in 2011 due to Parkinson's disease. Great reaction.

[@bettyhudson1703]

an Awesome Ronstadt documentry so is "Linda and the Mockingbirds"...sadly her health has deteriorated since those movies were made just few short years ago...she made an appearance at a Tucson book fair in Mar 2023...did not look well...like she said "this disease moves slowly, but it does move"...prayers for Linda...amen

My favorite spanish language song by her was from early in her career,"Lo ciento mi vida".

[@mistersnitty7721]

From Hasten Down The Wind album. Great song. Great album. Thanks for the reminder. Now gotta hear it.

[@brianbanta6398]

you need to listen to her albums, "Prisoner in disguise" or "Hasten down the wind".

[@frayjr1970]

Linda is a Mexican American and was bilingual growing up so this is roots music for her! Awestome stuff!

[@debbiechang5781]

This is an interesting choice for your wife’s first listen. I love EVERYTHING Linda does so I love this and all of her Spanish (Mariachi) music, even though I don’t even speak the language. Hers is the most beautiful voice on the planet. 🌺✌️

[@misspad7282]

She does Mariachi to perfection, and this is a great back up band.

One of our great treasures! Heavenly voice, and she even looks like an angle! Hi D. 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Did you know that she is of Mexican descent!?

[@marthaz]

Linda's a powerhouse vocal - this style is very much the "norm" here in Mexico. Mariachi bands are incredible musicians. I have seen 5 out of 7 band members change instruments with each other throughout the performance. Pull up some mariachi videos for your daughter since she loves them. ☺️ Welcome to the wifey. Since you're dipping your toes in the water of legendary females singing songs in Spanish, check out Christina Aguilera, "Contigo en la Distancia" (with you from afar/from the distance).👍

[@mlockette7210]

At the height of her rock career, she decided she wanted to sing American standards. A great example is "I've got a crush on you": kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZbPo5SvnLGhaMk (music video). Also, "When You wish upon a star": kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoLWkpljqJhsa68. Her voice is smooth as silk in this genre of music. Later she recorded Mexican songs in honor of her father.

[@mistersnitty7721]

Very few reaction videos from this project. There should be more, and you're absolutely correct about 'crush on you'.... she crushes it.

[@cazgerald9471]

"What's New", the first of her trilogy with Nelson Riddle, went triple platinum. The two following "Lush Life" and "For Sentimental Reasons" both went platinum. Her next album "Canciones de Mi Padre" was certified double platinum I'd say her instincts (and execution of course) were spot-on

[@bettyhudson1703]

She made 3 Standards with Nelson Riddle and then her final solo studio album was her 4th Standards album "Humming to Myself" in 2004...it is a very good "last studio album" to go out on...she did a final duet album with Ann Savoy in 2006 and she has said her voice was basically running on empty doing that last album and then 3 yrs later she did her last performance and retired shortly after...very nasty disease she has it sadly took her voice and her health...prayers for Linda...amen

[@leoscone4036]

For some little known Linda Ronstadt check out "Freezing" from the album "Songs From Liquid Days" by composer Phillip Glass. The album was a project he did with multiple artists as song writers and multiple artists as performers. The lyrics were written by folk like Paul Simon, David Byrne, and in the case of the song Freezing by Suzanne Vega. Lyrics by Vega, featuring the world famous Kronos Quartet, with Ronstadt getting operatic, and composed by Glass. Ronstadt also sings on the song "Forgetting", lyrics by Laurie Anderson, the Kronos Quartet again, and a trio of sisters whose band is called "The Roches" on back-up vocals. She was CA Governor Jerry Brown's romance for a while too. We used to have the fantasy of Brown running for President and then we could have Linda Ronstadt as First Lady. Heck, she dated Actor/comedian Jim Carrey and director George Lucas in her time too. Blessings.

[@josephespinoza3458]

It's awesome to know that Linda Ronstadt is from my home town Tucson Arizona

[@Boatzilla2]

Projection was the word you were looking for. Great reaction (again) good to see your dearest.

[@santellanr]

Speaking of other genres, if you haven't already, you should check out her song "What's new". It's more of the big band/orchestra sound and she performs it with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra, which was very popular.

[@cazgerald9471]

Her two albums that followed were also with Nelson Riddle - all three were certified platinum, "What's New" triple platinum.

[@rachelsides2489]

Linda did a fundraiser concert for California Gov. Jerry Brown when he was running for President. They were dating at the time and she sang My Boyfriend's Back.

[@GaryNoone-jz3mq]

She not only holds such difficult note, but she doesn't take a breath until she reaches the end of the line.

[@markmatthews4481]

You should watch the movie "The Sound Of My Voice", it's a Linda documentary, free KZbin movie. It covers everything from her first band the Stone Poneys to her excelling in country, pop. opera, learning to sing in Spanish (her heritage), classic songs. Her attitude when record companies told her You can't do that was I can't NOT do that. I saw her sing before she was famous, singing with the Catalina High School choir from Tucson AZ, she sang 3 solos, and she was awesome!

[@becuzitsthere4484]

"What's New", the title cut from her album with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra. You may cry. THE voice!

[@TheMerryPup]

I think she did several albums in this style back in the day. Of course she started out doing American pop/rock music and then did American Standards with Nelson Riddle and his Orchestra. There was a clip of a press conference where a guy from Spanish language media started asking her a question in Spanish and she had to stop him and apologize that she didn't speak the language.

[@blitztim6416]

My wife loves her mariachi music, and she loves Lida too. She saw Linda on this tour and raves about how good she was. Go see a good mariachi band. They have the best singers. and the music is amazing also.

[@PrincessOne]

I don't think I would of picked this as a first time for your wife to hear Linda , so many more beautiful out there.

[@davidmazon7516]

Does your significant other listen to Rancheras? I bought this album when it first came out. My mom thought that her voice was better than the originals. None of us knew she could sing Mexican music like that. You have to react to more of her music on that album. Canciones de me Padre is the name of the album. Meaning Songs of my Father. Tu Solo Tu is one of my favorites.

[@kentinatl]

SO GREAT..IT'S SO EASY TO FALL IN LOVE WITH LINDA!

[@leslie8743]

I watched her whole concert on TV but can't remember if it was on PBS or HBO. Linda made many artists in her band famous. Like The Eagles just naming one.

The missus looks kinda like Ms. Ronstadt. For me, her duet with Paul Simon, singing "Under African Skies" is both of their best work.

[@robsambosky6444]

Linda sang in Gilbert and Sullivan's Pirates of Penzance. I have not seen this mentioned in any vids I have watched of her performances. She produced an album with the Nelson Riddle orchestra that covers American songbook pieces.

[@consuelaluna1414]

This is my favorite Spanish album💚

[@glyngasson8450]

Her record company told her that this direction was a big mistake and it was very successful. Linda then went to perform standards with a jazz orchestra, the label again said it was a mistake, and it was a big success.

[@cazgerald9471]

The other way around actually. She recorded three albums of standards with Nelson Riddle, "What's New" (3x platinum), "Lush Life" (platinum), and "For Sentimental Reasons" (platinum). After that success, management resistance for her next album "Canciones de Mi Padre" (2x platinum) wasn't nearly as strong as when she first proposed an album of standards. Her very first recorded/released Spanish language song was "Lo Siento Mi Vida", written by Linda and her father Gilbert Ronstadt along with Kenny Edwards, on her 1976 album "Hasten Down the Wind" kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4XOl4GfeNdskM0

[@llopez951]

I saw this concert live and I can tell you her voice is incredibly powerful. You could hear how her voice carried across the auditorium.

[@jameswalling8395]

I saw her at a little place called The Cellar Door (it was in a cellar) in Washington, D.C. in, I believe, 1968. Her first hit song, "Different Drum" was on the charts and she was with her first band the Stoned Poneys. Believe me, her voice was even more unbelievable live. Especially sitting 30 feet away from her.

[@floorticket]

Check out Linda singing "Willin'" by Little Feat.

[@ralpholson7616]

[@tbnobs]

Very few can compare to linda what an amazing woman her voice is Gold

[@kylecompton3305]

Back then, it was UNHEARD of for an American Super-Star to do this. Her record label said HELL NO, but she was so big at this point, she could do whatever she wanted! She was a trailblazer for Latin/English music in this country, long before Ricki, Selena, J-Lo, and The Miami Sound Machine (all of which I loved!). She made several of these albums. Another genre to check out is her covers of jazz standards. Start with "What's New" and "My Funny Valentine". If you want to hear her doing opera, check out "Poor Wandering One" She hits notes in this song that are beyond human understanding! Reply

[@LadyGator1983]

Update Linda Ronstadt's Disease Initially, it was reported that she had Parkinson's disease. After researching, they found out that it wasn't Parkinson's, but something else. Apparently, the disease is very close to Parkinson's. "A degenerative disease, similar to Parkinson's, has stolen her voice, along with her abilities to ride and run and strum a guitar. That theft marked an obvious loss for the musical world, and, it would seem, an incalculable one for her. Because as far as anyone can tell, Linda Ronstadt can't sing anymore. Dec 3, 2019" I've seen a documentary or two about her life. I've listened to her talk about her situation. It's devastating! Again, I am so grateful that we have her music that we can listen to and it's there for future generations to enjoy!

[@davidhumiston6500]

You should've immediately played her Blue Bayou, so she could hear what you're talking about with Linda.

[@philipgrice1026]

Pop, rock, Spanish and don't overlook that Linda Ronstadt sang live opera on stage in New York. She performed the lead female role in The Pirate of Penzance brilliantly. It is tragic that Parkinson's Disease has deprived us all of her brilliant voice now except for her recordings. So sad.
