I love Martina, she has arguably the greatest voice of any female country singer in history. I also love Linda Ronstadt. Just one problem. This is a Phil Everly song, and it was first sung by Phil and his brother Don. Proper credit really should have been given.
Jesus! Isn’t that just one of the greatest songs ever written? There could be a million songs written from now till whenever, but when some top level singer like Linda or Martina belts this out a hundred years from now, people will cheer and love it just like this crowd did.
Good Lord people, get real. Yes The Everly Brothers did the original and had a hit off it. Then Linda came along 20 some odd years later and had a frickin' SMASH hit with it. But give Martina her due....this is awesome! And it's a great tribute to a great lady who will never perform again.
Written by Phil Everly (1939-2014) the greatest harmony singer the world has ever seen. Recorded with his brother Don in 1960 as The Everly Brothers and solo in 1975.
Honestly I never heard of Linda Ronstadt before until I heard Martina mention how much of a fan she was of hers. I think this is a great tribute from a legend of Country music to a legend of Pop music. Martina is a class act.
Love martina mcbride. No bs autotune these ladies have talent. The band is great too musicians doing what they do best. Martina is very easy on the eyes too.

big hit from the original's...The Everly Brothers, Linda's version just as big of a great hit, Martina's follow up great...just proves, a great song is truly timeless...when covered by "top shelf" talent.
Wow, the last chord of all of you singing it together was in perfect harmony.. chills down my spine! because I wonder when will I be loved.. I'm still waiting..
I am just now,age 62 working on the guitar solo I feel like this is a very positive vibe as opposed to the blues even a fast blues uses more minor notes here the challenge is, how positive and how much fun can you demonstrate in a 30 sec solo I love it
When I hear other artist cover songs from the previous or past artists, it makes me realize just how special gals like Linda Ronstadt, Donna Summer etc were... although these artist do nice covers or tributes. It always seems to pale in comparison to the sensational talents that they were...and it also seems that they were taken for granted, and don't get the recognition they so richly deserve.
@countrygirl countrymusiclover DIANA SUMMER???? WHO IS DIANA SUMMER???? You whole life clearly a joke saying this. Donna Summer is the level of queen music BIGGER than MARTINA. Martina is Big but she is BIGGER case closed
Thank you for noting that. I love Linda's version, too - but credit where credit is due. Such a great tune that still sounds great 50+ years after it was written!
A favorite of mine over 50 years but sung by the Everly Bros, then I heard and liked this sung by Linda Ronstadt, and now by the latest sensation in female singers. Still the same song. Great!
no joke this freaking made my night. First time I heard this song was on According to Jim of all things and was looking for a good version and I find Martina McBride
this just made realize how good Linda was, and l cant believe how unrated artist still is, she should have more tributes than some artist of today's music. Just the fact that all she accomplished without all the resources that artist from today have and back then there was a lot of great artist in all genders of music.
thanks Patrick there are a lot of songs out there where the last person who sings it gets all the credit. Nice to see someone that knows what they are talking about.
Linda Ronstadt should by all rights, be inducted into BOTH the Country Music Hall of Fame AND the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and Martina should sing THIS SONG at the induction ceremony!

Martina isjust such an incredible woman to look at, the style of her and the strength of voice I was expecting about 5'9" the height of Cindy Crawford, when I heard she was just over 5'1" tall you could have knocked me down with a feather
I love how in country music, singers last. As in, Martina McBride has been around for years and years and has the same level of support and star power, you just don't see that in pop music.
