There were better singers in their lane so to speak. But none were better vocalist. To date She's number one on the female vocalist list and it's not even close. Because she could do more than 1 thing. Where someone who was a great singer Ann Wilson what only great at one thing and couldn't hold a candle to Linda as an all-round vocalist.

Linda was my first album cover crush, then hearing her voice just made me fall in love with her even more. Just as she was hitting it big with her solo career, some of her backing band decided they wanted to out on their own, so they asked Linda if they could, and she gave them her permission. Later, they became a little band called The Eagles.

I was in the military when the Stone Ponies began appearing on National TV. I immediately fell for Linda Ronstadt, just like all the other lonesome mopes. Saw her in concert twice, from the front row. Saw her again on Broadway in NYC! What a talent … her vocals never get old! I still love her.

She’s said in interviews that she grew up in a very musical family. They would sing at the dinner table at a very young age. Also they sang in English and Ranchero. She never knew what else to do-all she knew was music! Plus her ear is just phenomenal-she’s responsible for getting the Eagles together. Please listen to a live version of Blue Bayou. It’s so pretty.

I've followed Linda since 1967 she never sings a bad note and this is good but it's been abbreviated presumably for the live TV performance the best lines are missing Life's full of loss Who knows the cost Living in the memory Of a love that never was. All about unrequited love and then the really powerful ending to the song with that strong lamentful belting showing how strong her voice is.

Linda Ronstadt is the person who made me fall in love with the human voice. I used to hear Different Drum on the radio when I was three or four and how awed and opened I felt by her soaring vocal is one of my earliest memories. Long Long Time is one of my favourites of hers, also love Lose Again.

@@jeffevans9853 I do love this video but point out that about the line. There may be a live one where she sings all the verses. I think it may be from the Johnny Cash show. Most shows only allowed a certain amount of time back then. I think Johnny was a bit of a rebel about those kind of things.

@chuckhafemann7094 4 дня назад

Beth - Thank you so much for featuring Linda Ronstadt. It's great younger people are getting to know her. I've loved her since 1967. I saw her in 1977 on the same tour as the live version of Desperado that you reviewed. Yes, it was that good. Please keep it up. It's truly sad about Linda's losing her voice. But I want to comment on something. You did one reaction to Eva Cassidy a year or so ago. I've gone back and forth on this for the last 25 years. Linda and Eva are my top 2, no doubt. Linda's voice is phenominal. But Eva's voice is the only voice I've ever heard that cut right through me. Like Linda, Eva could sing absolutely anything she attempted. Unfortunately, Eva lost her life to cancer before she started to get the recognition she deserved. I really wish you would revisit her. She didn't leave behind anything near the catalog we have of Linda's in quantity. And the few videos that we have are grainy, black & white. But please go back and take a listen to what she did leave. You won't ever regret it.

@skipwalker1954 26 дней назад

Way back (late '60's), TV sound was broadcast in mono. So not even stereo - let alone surround. Radio had SOME stations broadcasting in stereo. In the Sn Francisco Bay Area, there was a rock station called KFOG. They partnered with a local TV station occasionally to do what they called a "simulcast". The tv station would broadcast a live music event and KFOD would air the audio in stereo. I think it was in black and white as color tv was still not easy for a live event. The first simulcast I remember was a group called The Stone Ponies. Thats when I fell in love with Linda's voice.

@jrdlabs 26 дней назад

Beth, thanks for another great reaction and analysis! It's not often I am compelled to use the comments section when watching reactions. There's another live performance of this song on YT, from the Johnny Cash Show, that was done during the same era. Video quality is much better as is her performance, IMO. She seems much more confident and does a better job with the higher notes at the end of the song. I sense that she was just a bit nervous here. That might explain a bit of that tightness you spoke of later in the song. Still, she delivers a memorable performance. She shows a great interpretation, great voice combined with emotion and an understanding of exactly what she's singing. I love that it's a very honest performance, done way before the ubiquitous use of pitch correction, which sucks the soul and honesty out of the song every time. That honesty, I believe, is Linda's 'secret sauce'. You spoke of the 'cry' in her voice. Reminded me of another (formerly) very popular American singer, Connie Francis, who predates Linda by about ten years, or so, and used the 'cry' to great effect. Maybe there's an 'influence' here? Ah...prolly not. :)

And to think, her voice got better after the training she did for "Pirates of Penzance". This is where she said she learned the difference of singing into a mic, and sing to an audience without a mic. But, one of the most underrated songs is one Karla Bonoff penned for her. "Someone To Lay Down Beside Me" the live version in 1977, Atlanta. It has a beautiful piano intro by the late Don Groinick and little guitar solo by Waddy Wachtel. Beautiful, no dancers, no autotune, just her beautiful voice, and talented musicians around her.

As always, another great reaction and analysis. Linda has been my favorite vocalist since she first arrived on the scene in 1967. It’s wonderful that you have (re)discovered her as she is too exceptional a talent to be forgotten. Another emotionally charged song from her early years is “Love Has No Pride”. Don’t miss her rendition of Roy Orbison’s “Blue Bayou” and, afterwards, you may be interested in an analysis of Linda’s vocal accuracy in performing this same song live as demonstrated by the gent at Wings of Pegasus on RU-vid. In 50 plus years, I’ve never heard her miss a note.
