It is Willie's song, and Patsy and then Linda made it amazing. The band is also incredible. We're lucky Linda was healthy for over sixty years. Sadly, all good things come to an end, and we are left with electronic dance music. Shoot me now. I have lived a life.
Linda is certainly one of the greatest singers of all time. Female or Male. Her versatility is simply amazing. When Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris consider her "The Best" it is pretty hard to ignore her talent. Country, Rock, Pop, New Wave, Opera, Spanish, Classical and Big Band; LInda could sing anything. Five platinum albums in a row speaks volumes. She could sing anything at a very high level.
And let's add Broadway musical star. I know it may not be more challenging than some of her past repertoire's but she had to do it 7 to 8 times per week at the highest level of her talent vs weekly or monthly concerts or studio work a few weeks per year. She amazes me still to this day. Thank you Linda and thank you for posting this performance.
Agree 💯, she's been my favorite and the very best since she began when I was s young teenager. Loved everything she ever recorded. A beautiful lady with a beautiful voice.
Linda Ronstadt had the career she deserved. Always exploring her craft and bringing the curiosity, warmth, humour and tenderness to to everything she approached. Never afraid to approach her gift. Interesting that she and Julie Andrews, another magnificent voice, have been robbed of their gift by illness or medical issues and now live in a world where their recordings define them.
Linda's superb voice combined with the jazzy arrangement with the country pedalsteel makes this probably the ultimate version of this song. Everything 'fits'!
I'm going to keep this simple. Her voice was gold. Linda tone and phrasing was one of the finest. I am so happy we have recordings of her. All my love to you Linda. Thank You and Merry Christmas 2020.
I didnt realize it at the time of my younger concert going times that I experienced listening in person to the greatest female singer of my time. Thank you Linda !
I absolutely adore everything about Linda Ronstadt. That voice which was both soft and powerful and her exquisite control. If anyone could cover this song by Patsy Cline it would be Linda and it is remarkable. I'm still in the Patsy camp on this one though because her version was more "old school" with the primary instrument being that beautiful piano and the backing vocals by the Jordanaires (who also worked with Elvis). That style just worked so well for the song and just isn't done any more. That said, I will listen to Linda's version any time because I'll never get enough of that voice
I'm heartbroken. Linda was probably the finest voice I've ever heard in my lifetime. I can only hope that she will be with us for a good many years. And that her illness progresses very slowly or not at all. We're all getting old so much sooner than any of us ever dreamed. Life is short. And time is priceless.
I used to think that Patsy Cline OWNED this song. Till I heard Linda sing it. It's still Patsy's song, but the extraordinary Linda does a great job with it. The musicians were great as well
If Linda had just recorded country music, she would have had great success. The fact that she excelled in many music genres makes her one of the greatest female singers of all time. This rendition is second to none.
+catman916 What's wrong with being versatile?? I do it all the time, country, jazz, classical music, etc. I listen and appreciate it all when I'm in the mood. Stop being so damn narrow minded.
+Jacqueline Aldana I was not being critical of Linda, Jacqueline. I was praising her for being so versatile and successful in all of the types of music she performed - rock, country, country -rock, folk, American standards, and Mexican music. I can't think of another singer who excelled in this way.
catman916 Are you serious ? "She wold have had great success ??? " LMFAO. She brought on the Eagles. She brought it, and no female vocalist could shine her shoes. EVER. Final Answer.
Ms Linda Ronstadt has the Greatest Voice Ever ! She could tell you the note run on one word in a Song I know of none that has that knowledge or Level of Talent and Artist...when she became ill she said in the Studio trying to sing a G and hit a C She knew it was over and said quote Don't be feeling Sorry for Me I had my time at the trof ...This Version of Crazy is One of a Kind So Special Many Thanks for Posting..love it ....ol couple way down in TX 51yrs...Crazy for Sure !Thank You Linda for All the Memories The Treasures of Songs !!!!
She sings it exactly the way Patsy did, the only way it should be sung. It's perfection. I think Linda Ronstadt if the greatest woman singer of the past 40 years. I love her voice and it's a shame that someone of her caliber had to get an illness what takes that voice away from her.
+bon1042 Its way slower than Patsy's version and lacks the emotional feel of Patsy's. And I like Linda, she has a great voice and many great songs behind her.
I think Linda puts More Emotion into it than Patsy's. That said, I like both artists, but Linda throughout her catalogue has much more emotion in her voice.
I agree. Linda knew a song and gave it its due and it did not matter what the song was. Her range was phenomenal. She is the best "pop" singer I ever came across. She is beautiful: body and soul and so is her voice.
Love Patsy Cline. But, this is a rare occasion when I prefer another version of a song over hers. I love that sexy, sultry, soft humming at the tag end of the song ❤ "Linda probably got the most beautiful voice, bar none, than any singer in the 20th century." - Emmylou Harris
Born in 88' but will always love how Linda convey's heartache and longing with her magical voice like no one else. The best. Thank you Linda. We'll always love you.
Linda and Patsy are my 2 faves , always have been. When Linda did her cover I was. thrilled. So incrediby sad that both voices are stilled, way too soon. Linda really was the voice of my generation. This cover was spot on brilliant!!!
Was fortune enough to see her in Berkeley, Ca. when she was lead singer for the Stone Ponies. Linda could sing any song any style, and do it it with wonder.
Ronstadt brought Patsy Cline to a broad audience with her gorgeous rendition of this Wille Nelson penned classic. Cline had a similar "TEARDROP" in her voice but Linda singing LIVE was pure, natural and surrounded by the finest musicians just nails this. As good as it gets - Sadness never had a better friend than Linda Ronstadt.
rick holt Hi Rick I’ve loved her since first hearing that lovely voice many many moons ago. Which group of Holts are you from? I’m from the ones who settled in FarmVille Virginia area back in the 1700s
What a beautiful girl with a beautiful voice every time I here her voice it's makes me happy.on another note i like to thank all you lovely people who post songs on you tube if we had you tube when i was younger i would have saved a fortune.Les in the uk
Linda brought us city/suburban people songs and rhythms of the country and western soul. In the 1970s few beyond more rural areas even heard of Patsy Cline or Willie Nelson. Ronstadt took these songs wide and deep. What a great great vocalist she was.
I have loved Linda Ronstadt forever. And that's just her looks. Her singing is as fabulous as it gets. I wish I could just spell ronstat when it isn't in front of me.
@@sandyellis3004 Right. And the assertion that Patsy was all but forgotten until this cover by Linda is ludicrous. She was a walking Icon when the talented Linda was just a teen and has remained so to this day.
@@matthewronsson I agree Patsy was , but as a teenager in the seventies , I never heard of Patsy Cline until Linda Ronstadt covered two of her songs, then I went to the record store and bought ever Patsy album I could find.
Patsy Cline is the greatest female country singer of all time. All female country singers know it. As did Linda. As did Shania, As did Loretta , as did Tammy, as did Faith , so did Dolly, as did Carrie, and all the others.When Linda recorded this , she undoubtedly was one of Patsy's biggest fans , and was undoubtedly hugely influenced by her in her early years. Even though she was already gone , Linda probably wanted to honor Patsy (and make a few bucks) by recording one of her biggest hits. Willie had NOTHING to do with it even though he wrote it.. All others can only wish they had a voice as strong and beautiful as she had.And by the way, as big a star as Willie became late in his career, nobody really new who he was until the mid 70's when Waylon Jennings and him hooked up. If you wan't to hear how great Patsy;s voice was I suggest you listen to Tennessee Waltz or any other original recording by her to hear for yourself .
Fabulous version. I really believe , even more than her Big Band albums, Linda was a C&W girl at heart. This is her kind of music! --------------One of the best versions, ever. ---------------WolfSky9, 71 y/o
Wow. What a flawlessly beautiful singing voice; a consummate performer, and a gorgeous woman that appreciates the sentiment of timeless music. The personification of quintessential class, with a timeless, perfect, classic torch songstress' voice that is one that just melts me as a man right under the table. If she were single, I'd throw myself at her feet and beg for a date shamelessly.
Smokestoomuch Linda never married. She has two lovely children .Lives in AZ .Suffering from Parkinson . I really wanted Linda and Arron Neville to do another album together, but not possiable.
Simply a classic song that defies being categorized. Timeless. Yes, it was Willie's song but nobody knew who Willie was when Patsy Cline recorded it, other than a few knowledgeable insiders. And the rest is history. Ronstadt's cover can stand on its own. When I listen to this, it reminds of an early interview of LR when she talked about growing up in AZ, listening to Mexican ballads, Country Western and rock n' roll. As everyone knows, she could do it all without sounding contrived or phony because she was the real deal...and she had the pipes. Too bad, ballad singing has gone out of style. Music like this can take you places...
Wow, this is amazing. I never knew she covered this song so early in her career. She gives Patsy Cline a run for her money. Though I prefer the arrangement and Linda's phrasing of this version. The musicianship was second to none, too.
Lovely voice. She could sing anything, such a wonderful talent. I'm sad she has lost her singing voice to illness, but glad she's still alive and speaking out.
I agree with Willy, it took me a long time to understand that statement. We love her for her vocals but you gotta know SHE has a strong mind of her own!
If anyone could hold a candle to Patsy Cline it is Linda R.
LeAnn Rimes covered it so well too.
Anyone else would be a fool to try. I'd love to get a time machine and talk Patsy into singing Blue Bayou!
How could anyone give this song a thumbs down? Baffles me. She’s great at whatever she sings!
trolls
I don’t see any thumbs down clicks. 😊
It is Willie's song, and Patsy and then Linda made it amazing. The band is also incredible. We're lucky Linda was healthy for over sixty years. Sadly, all good things come to an end, and we are left with electronic dance music. Shoot me now. I have lived a life.
but....... please VOTE first!!!!
😢
@@MichaelHoshall 👍😃
Just gotta hate something, huh?......
Willie wrote it but he didn't sing it like this. Patsy did. Linda Ronstadt is covering Patsy's version.
Linda had such a beautiful voice and absolute control. I love everything about Linda.

True.
She did all the various genres with true authenticity via exquisite skill and talent.
There is no woman equal to this lovely lady
Yes i agree with you. Her voice is amazingly sweet, powerful and angelic... in this song, she sang it full of emotion and eloquently beautiful.
Agree 💯, she's been my favorite and the very best since she began when I was s young teenager. Loved everything she ever recorded. A beautiful lady with a beautiful voice.
Linda's music has kept me company deep into many long nights. Her voice is a balm for my soul. Thank you Linda Ronstadt for sharing your rare gift.

Incredible... on this great song, nobody could top Patsy... except LINDA...!
As usual, Linda's rendition is the Best-Ever... Incredible.
Absolutely the best! What a beautiful voice.
Linda's superb voice combined with the jazzy arrangement with the country pedalsteel makes this probably the ultimate version of this song. Everything 'fits'!
Just as hauntingly beautiful as Ms. Cline herself.
Ah the voice makes your heart melt, very few of today's female artist can hold a candle to Linda voice!
They never will !!! 😳😳😳
LeAnn Rimes runs a very close second to Linda 😍
Bravo! Brava! Magnificent exceptional emotions! I cry, dear, Thank you for all your wonderful songs!
Never have heard Linda sing this...amazing!
She has an unbelievable voice. Absolutely beautiful.
I remember when Patsy Cline came out with this, Dad loved it. When I play this for him and he thought it was Patsy. He fell in love with Linda.
the woman was amazing, she crossed all barriers, singing everything including operas,
I'm going to keep this simple. Her voice was gold. Linda tone and phrasing was one of the finest. I am so happy we have recordings of her. All my love to you Linda. Thank You and Merry Christmas 2020.

Hauntingly Beautiful. So pure and raw. This is as good as it ever gets, anytime, anywhere!!!
Wow! Just wow!
I didnt realize it at the time of my younger concert going times that I experienced listening in person to the greatest female singer of my time. Thank you Linda !
Linda Ronstadt losing her voice is one of the greatest tragedies of our time.
She is a National Treasure.
As compared to what? .... War, famine, terrorist attacks? I think you got a little carried away...didn’t you?
Kenneth Hargreaves Well those are all relative things that come and go what about quenching our eternal inner longing?!
"You can always find some expert who will say something hopelessly hopeless about anything."
I agree!
More like a world treasure!

Greatest female singer of her generation ... period! Hats off to Willie, though ... without him we would never have had this amazing recording.
Better than Origional !! So many emotions !!!!!!!!
Original
No one, not even Linda can top Patsy!
Good but not close to better.
I do prefer the arrangement and Linda's phrasing of this version.
I'm heartbroken. Linda was probably the finest voice I've ever heard in my lifetime. I can only hope that she will be with us for a good many years. And that her illness progresses very slowly or not at all. We're all getting old so much sooner than any of us ever dreamed. Life is short. And time is priceless.
I definitely crazy 🤯for Linda Ronstadt 🥰
I loved Patsy and I love Linda. This was one of the best covers I've heard. I miss them both.

I grew up listening to her music in the 60's/70's. No one had a clearer, more powerful voice. She is still a beautiful and classy woman.
Both Patsy and Linda could sing a song with a lot of feeling. Not many of us singers today can. It is all about emotional memory.
I agree

Pure, unadulterated class.
Experience the divine. That voice, a Gift from God to all of us. Thanks for all the records, Linda.
I love Linda's interpretation of Patsy's version. I'll bet when Willie wrote this he did not think just how big it would be. Thanks Willie.
No one cries into a microphone like RONSTADT. Linda was both sensual and sorrowful. That is rare.
Every bit as good as Patsys own version!!!!
Hank Williams Sr has a rival.
I agree. Linda knew a song and gave it its due and it did not matter what the song was. Her range was phenomenal. She is the best "pop" singer I ever came across. She is beautiful: body and soul and so is her voice.

What pure and exceptional talent,a range like no other, Linda is absolutely the best female vocalist everxx
Patsy was certainly an ICON in my home growing up in 60s, 70s, 80s...my father had all her records; he met her once at Ft. Myers, VA, too.
Out of respect and admiration Linda would cover songs made famous by others. What an amazing talent!

Saw Linda in concert at Miami University in 1970. Was blown away and continue to rate her as one of the best. So sad she can no longer sing.

Now I know whose voice I've been missing in my music collection. I remember that feeling I had when I first saw and heard her anywhere.😍😊
I LOVE IT! Linda can nail almost any genre that's why i became of a fan of her even though im only in my 20s
Linda is indeed a divine vocalist.
Lovely voice. She could sing anything, such a wonderful talent. I'm sad she has lost her singing voice to illness, but glad she's still alive and speaking out.
Willie Nelson said there are two kinds of men in this world. Those that are in love with Linda Ronstadt and those that don't know who she is.
I think he said it about Emmylou Harris, but the sentiment goes equally well here.
