INTERVIEW: The Eagles on Linda Ronstadt at The Connaught Hotel on April 25, 2013 in London, England Thanks for watching this video! Video Credit: Getty Images
Linda was loved by many because she was selfless and she was selfless because she loved the Art of Music. The more new bands or the more new singers the happier she was.
@@marias7599 Exactly. Linda is tops! Just saw the new doc film on her, in the theater. Excellent film, great footage of lovely Linda. Bless her heart. 😍
"I got to play in HER band" - so many great players say the same thing regarding Linda. Everyone worked their musical chops out surrounding Ronstadt's incredible voice. Very generous champion of so many. We owe her...
I’ve read somebody refer to Linda as “the queen of the scene” and that’s pretty perfect. She was an alpha in that SoCal country/rock/blues scene. And she got there being herself.
Johan Smallberries The new documentary film “Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice” is a must see. She talks about how much she doubted herself as a singer. It took a while before she felt like the “queen of the scene.” I love everything I ever heard her sing. She was such a powerful role model for female musicians, as well.
I love these gracious loving guys. I’m happy that they’re honoring their beloved, beautiful incredibly talented friend. Listening to Her beautiful crisp smooth yet powerful vice of this lovely precious lady still moves my soul!
Hi i just wanted to thank you again for being so supportive and following me on my Journey. I love inspiring and encouraging others. People like you help me to keep showing up! Hope you are having an amazing day.
Absolutely, Linda Ronstadt should be in the Rock and roll hall of fame! She was in the Stone Ponys in the 1960s that had the hit "Different drum", and endless other top 40 hits as a solo artist in the 70s and 80s. Sometimes I just really don't understand the RRHOF. There are all kinds of bands and artists already inducted that lack any real talent, and then there are artists like Linda Ronstadt that are forgotten about. Makes no sense at all. 😒 ❤Linda Ronstadt❤
@@honour123 - I liked his "Thank You" speech best; although I liked Steve Miller's and Eddie Vedder's remarks as well. If you read "Sticky Fingers," the book about Jann Wenner, you'll find that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was Wenner's idea, and the uneven and often unfair selections have his feel to them; he was very partial to the Eagles and the Rolling Stones and didn't care for progressive rock or metal when they were popular, which unfairly skewed the music taste of millions in the US, because his magazine was the only one of it's kind for a long time. But his uncaring snubs went on for long periods, to ridiculous extremes. And he sold it a while back, so he can say it's not his fault - but I blame him for his snubs of Deep Purple and Yes until the founding member died, a pretty shitty move that I always remember when I see anything about him, his magazine or the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He's a rich jerk. I am glad that he hooked me up with Hunter Thompson and Matt Taibbi, but his magazine blows now, another thing ruined by the love of money. Fortune passes everywhere.
Linda was the first female soloist to pack arenas to the rafters in the U.S. I give Janis her props but in her short career she played festival venues that had multiple bands. Linda on her standing, on her own singular voice filled the airways and concert arenas. I saw her in concert in ‘77, the height of her rock and roll vocal powers. When she moved onto other genres she was further hailed as the best, most versatile singer ever. The two Trio album’s she made with Dolly and Emmy Lou are legendary. If angels sang they would sound like Trio. Linda was plain brilliant.
@@DavidSmith-ss1cg you are spot on about Jann Wenner. He makes me sick. He ruined the magazine he started by putting everyone who WASN’T a singer on the cover. He has put Springsteen on the cover at least 20 times. He put disco, reggae and standard country music stars in the Hall before many more deserving solo artists and bands. Jann is not a class act, he’s not a nice person and now he very thankfully, has no influence.
Love Linda Ronstadt. Beautiful brilliant lady. My sister turned me on to her music. My sister is a huge fan of hers. I recently bought her greatest hits cd.

Because of my age people will ask me why wasnt Queen and FM more popular in the 70's and this is an example....when LR had the Eagles as her supporting band it shows you the tremendous talent in rock and roll in the 70's.
As far as groups go, I can understand some asking that of Queen, but not of Fleetwood Mac. It may be just my opinion, but I felt The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, and The Bee Gees, as groups, pretty much owned the 70s.
Beautiful ❤️ commitment , tribute to a talented gracious lady Linda Ronstadt by also equally talented humble Professional musicians God bless you Thank you

I can not believe that Linda Ronstadt isn't in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! What a travesty! She had the most powerful, beautiful voice of any female singer back then! Have always loved the Eagles, my favorite group to this day. ❤
doesnt matter if she never would have gotten inducted'' SHE BIGGER THAN THEM'' as a matter of fact,, she in a whole different world,, along with buddy holly''
Darn! You hit the nail right of the head Dan, it's political, not necessarily about merit. Linda Ronstandt is Hall of Famer by virtue to her millions of fans, and of her contribution to the industry.
She was just not a selfish person or arrogant, like so many are. Dolly Parton who I’ve had the pleasure of working with is like that, she just loves people and you can tell, she’s really like royalty. And of course I’ve always been in love with Linda. lol
Timothy B Schmitt is the one who said that "all Rock and Roll bands are about to break up, all the time." This describes the Eagles - especially - but a lot of other great bands(the Who, the Beatles, etc.) as well.
Henely was right on the money. Linda should've been in there years before they got off of their asses and got around to it. Then, she couldn't attend due to her health. At least, Emmylou, Bonnie Raitt, Stevie Nicks, Sheryl Crow, Carrie Underwood, and Glen Frey did a nice dedication/acceptance on her behalf.
Thats alotta music sittin up there....awsome story and Linda blew us away. Me n some other bald cats were gona do an Eagles Tribute band!!.....da Bald Eagles...Thereeeeeeeeeeerr are Staaaaaaaaarrrrrrrs.....in the Sououououothern sky!!!!.....Souououououthward aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassss you goooooooooooooooooo.......awsome interview!

Sometimes it takes a public trashing to get the message to the Hall. Elton John did the same about Donna Summer after her passing and one year later, she was posthumously inducted.

I saw Linda Rhonstadt sing at Disneyland Gradnight, June 1971. I think members of the Eagles were backing her. Were the Eagles an official band at that time?
Actually it was Duke Ellington who originated the quote about there being two kinds of music. Buddy Rich may have said it, too, but he was quoting Duke.
All the good things Frey & Henley have to say about people and peers date back to when they were young and un-established. The good feeling vibes about the people they worked with during the peak of their fame are noticeably absent.
When Linda Ronstadt was finally inducted into the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame, Glenn Frey did the induction (Linda did not attend the ceremony). A year after Glenn died, the Eagles was presented with the Kennedy Center Honors and Linda did the narration to the clip that talked about the Eagles. Several years back, when Linda was presented with the Kennedy Center Honors, Don Henley did the presentation in person and narrated the clip that described Linda's achievements.
And was said by many people before Duke no one person is attributed to that opinion it's a common theme probably said by first cavemen to make music just joking but true
First of all the rock and roll hall of fame should not even be in Cleveland it should be in Memphis where it was born and first recorded. The blues had a baby and they called it rock and roll, and then jazz was a illegitimate girl. All from the South.
"We were very lucky." To me, that statement says it all!! About wtf they felt (and still feel) and about the jist of the existence and fame, alone, of the Eagles. Despite their individual talents or contributions to the music industry. Imho, ALL bands who've made it "big", "deserving" or not, which is based solely on OPINION, btw, not merit!!....SHOULD FEEL THE SAME EXACT GD WAY!! SHOULD SIMPLY THINK AND SAY "We are lucky." That says IT ALL!! THOSE WORDS ALONE MAKE ME THINK THESE GUYS ARE AT LEAST GD HUMBLE ENOUGH TO GD SAY AND MEAN THOSE WORDS!! IDGAF WTF ANYBODY ELSE THINKS, NOR SAYS ABOUT THEM!! THEY GD SAID ALL I GD NEED TO HEAR ABOUT THEIR BAND'S EXISTENCE OR TALENT!!...."We...are...very...lucky." ALL GD FAMOUS BANDS OR SOLO MUSICIANS, ANY GD BODY, MUSICIAN OR OTHERWISE!!, DESPITE TALENT, WHO'VE ACHEIVED FAME OUGHTA GD FEEL AND EXPRESS THIS!! THERE ARE SSSSOOOO MANY GD TALENTED BANDS (OR ACTORS, OR WTFE!) IN THE GD WORLD, EVEN TODAY, WHO JUST DON'T GET THE GD FAME, RECOGNITION, NOR MONEY THAT THE GD FAMOUS DO!! Sorry, but I just get SO GD SICK AND TIRED OF HEARING THE GD SOUR BULLSHIT I KEEP HEARING!! NNNOOOTTTHHHIIINNNGGG WAS STOPPING WALSH NOR SCHMIDT FROM GD SPEAKING UP HERE!! AS FAR AS I GD KNOW?!?! BUT THEMSELVES!!!! NOTHING!!!!
The RNRHOF people miss alot of great music people and you have to tell them. One wonders if they know much about Rock History. How can someone win 11 Grammys, sell many Gold, Platinum and Multiplatinum albums nationally and internationally and be missed altogether. Were these people living in a closet with earplugs? The HOF opened in 1986 and they finally noticed in 2014.
The Rock and Roll and Country Music "Halls of Fame" have ZERO credibility these days. The great talents, and hugely popular and successful talents at that, that they pass up year after year is shameful. I mean, Hank Jr?? Let's be serious, and we can't even begin with r&r because the list is so long.
I thought Don looked well. Glen Frey dying, really blows my mind. He certainly looked and seemed fine inducting Linda. Then, to pass on not too long after, is still hard to get my mind around.
Such talented guys, but say what you want Frey died of anger. He was SO angered and had SUCH hatred for Felder that watching the documentary is hard to watch knowing he's dying in just a few years hence. All Felder did was sign a GOOD contract, something Henley was actually the HEAD OF THE ORGANIZATION for (making others keep their contracts!)and when he called them on it they flipped out and Frey actually says Felder was trying to take food ouot of his kids' mouths (I LOVE that Felder looks so good and is so happy) and both their hypocrisy is incredible. First, they fathom themselves "environmentalists"and to borrow a Don Scamley term HE uses here, sanctimonious, guys who ride in limos, large SUV's, have fleets of jet fuel guzzling airplanes, own MANY homes and properties (while homeless camp in the Malibu Hills down from them) that have massive carbon footprints (we could ALWAYS argue why does ANYONE HAVE TO HAVE more than one home? Why?....even Bernie Sanders someone they idolized was buying ANOTHER, not "a"..... but another, vacation home last year!) They profess to HATE the rich, while Henley is one of the most ruthless, vilest people when it comes to "his" money.....the irony is that socialism is about the collective, not the individual, .....but you liarbel democRATs will never ever get that socialism is for the minions, those LOWER then the Henleys, and the Freys, and the Sanders, and the Jimmy Kimmels, and Clintons, and the obamas...ie, all of YOU. The socialists don't practice what they preach. I hope you try to run that knucklehead ocasio-cortez against Trump, she is dumb as an ox, is getting richer every second, wears expensive clothes, has apartments paid for by YOU, and they all cloak it under this "fighting for the little guy umbrella. Frey died of anger and hatred.
@@DJ-bj8ku right. We have to make sure we have those squiggly lightbulbs (hey, maybe you can answer why, when we got them, they were supposed to last way LONGER, BUT now they do not barely last at all and the internal components are WORSE for the environment, but they can't be recycled and I have to throw mine in the regular trash, how come? You don't think the democRATS pulled another "Keep your doctor!" scam on us do you?.......of course you don't.....). You are a typical Don Scamley liarbel democRAT. Because you SAY you care about the environment (I'd bet anything you neither have an electric vehicle nor solar panels in your home - yeah yeah, I know it's okay to lie if it benefits your cause, that good honest nevada mormon Scary Reid said so - so save your breath, I know you don't. But so long as you SAY it, your validated and like henley the homeless can starve in the very Malibu Hills they live in or have second or third homes in (but hate the rich right?) and as a paramedic I have taken care of these very people back in the day and I actually gave them my cash once in a while when I had it on me so they'd have a meal. But that's the difference between us - we republiCANS actually DO, while you SAY, and you bask in your liberal dosayedness therefor it is, while we ACT, and DO, and get our hands dirty. But you're right, starving kids vs save the whales.......we have to save the whales of course
@@DJ-bj8ku They ARE not socialist programs knucklehead, and in socialist countries it is the governments money in their eyes and you're not getting back what you put in, they simply TAKE from you. Only in the democRATS eyes in the US is it viewed as money that THEY the Nancy Pelosis and Obamas get to to use. In our country we are putting in OUR money (granted it was a program done before I was born) and we get back according to what we put in. You are right in that your team THINKS it's their money to do with what they want, and YOU want socialism, but not me. And your damn right I am taking it, because it's MINE, not yours. I am not one of those sandal wearing pot smoking liarbles who somehow have all these days off to take buses to rallies and protests and such.I work and I work hard and even though I didn't graduate high school I did go to med school eventually and I put in a heck of a lot more than the average joe. But I also pull more than 40 hours a week, I then can't go to the grocery store without someone having a question about their pain pills, and I have to plan an extra half hour when I go to wal mart so when people recognize me they can ask me medical questions over and over. And I know in this poor town I live in they, especially minorities, view me as "rich" because so many don't work and have "disabilities" (it should REALLY be called and coded as "DISAMBITIONISM") and somehow they THINK, probably like you, that those who do well just were given it somehow because I am WHITE male. No freakin way. It was hard work all the way. So YES when I retire I want MY MONEY back the dems think they have a right to
@@DJ-bj8ku Ok. You're obviously deficient somewhere but when all you watch is cnn, that's what it is. SS is not SUPPOSED to be redistribution, but you dems see other peoples money as your own and spend it. IT was EXACTLY meant as a retirement program LIKE A 401 K, but the dems figured you would 't live long enough to spend it and their greedy eyes and grubby hands could not wait to get to it. It wasn't MEANT to be a program for the self-proclaimed community activists who do nothing to add to society, and who never have any meaningful work and then suddenly get to 65 and feel they deserve everyone else should take care of them. But this is typical liberal thinking. Your money is YOUR money and my money is YOUR money. You're not supposed to use SS for whatever you want, but it was the dems who decided they "deserved" that money. Democratic ideals are bizarre - you'll show up in droves to a courthouse to protest a guy who beat a dog, but not one single person shows up to the same courthouse when a little girl was abused by a school teacher. long as the dem politicians can retain THEIR golden pulpits. Taxes are a part of any society and a necessity. Taxes are not socialism smartypants, taxes are as much a part of a republic.

@@dannytse8767 Oh yes they are! Randy was with them from the beginning. So was Bernie. ! But what’s that got to do with anything and why are you commenting to me about that? But yes they are founding members and go back to Linda Ronstadt. Obviously you’ve got your wires crossed,
Henley and Frey were talking about the genesis of the Eagles. Schmidt and Walsh were the last members to join the group, so their silence is understandable.
The remarkable Linda Ronstadt was inducted in 2014. The RRHF was always a sanctimonious misogynistic joke. Now it is just a branded amusement with a TV show. Mr. Blackmore was a rocking talent for sure.
Linda the real one is not sick and she's not retired she was hated by a few weirdos like Howard Sterns whole entourage. She's Joan Jett. She now performs as Katy Perry.
