I LOVED watching your reaction to the big band "erupting". I felt it too.
Great reaction. I’ve enjoyed Linda Ronstadt since her “Stone Poneys” days. I wish her well.
This album was my gateway drug to the Great American Songbook and the music of Sinatra, Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, etc. Thank you, Ms. Rondstadt.
She did three albums with Mr. Riddle and his orchestra. Get a bottle of wine, put on your headphones, dim the lights and lay back to enjoy her beautiful voice.
Without a doubt, Linda Ronstadt was the most versatile singer to ever open her mouth. She sang in so many very different styles and excelled in every one of them. It's a true shame that illness has silenced this incredible talent and amazing voice!
I loved this compilation and have good memories to go with these romantic songs.
I absolutely love every song on her cd with Nelson Riddle! She will always be my favorite. Love you, Linda.
As JD Souther says "She has the largest musical vocabulary of anyone."
Linda did a duet with Sinatra. It's on her Duets album
I remember going to this show when Linda brought her show to San Antonio. We took my parents, and they were so happy to hear Linda's beautiful, amazing voice. it was a night i will always remember because it brought our family so much joy.
Yes! Yes! Yes! For 2 years I've been trying to get someone, anyone, to react to Linda Rhonstad with Nelson Riddle. You're the first! Thank you so much!!! I hope others reactors will follow suit!
THAT ENDING JUST TEARS MY HEART OUT. --------------JUST GORGEOUS.
LIDA'S HERITAGE IS MEXICAN -------------BOTH PARENTS--------------SHE HAS PARKINSONISM.
I strongly suggest that you react to another song off of this album, “Someone To Watch Over Me”. The richness of her voice really shines. She does the verse, which is the beginning, which sets up the song. In fact, if I remember correctly, she always included the verse when she did these old standards. And, the song itself is just wonderful. She did 3 albums, maybe 4, with Nelson Riddle.
"Someone to Watch Over Me" was my mom & dads song, they were married in 1946. I played this for them when it came out, I had to go buy them a copy of the album.
ANY song off this album!!
Great choice Debbie. Linda is one of my mom's favorite singers so I grew up listening to her songs being played throughout the house. This song reminds me of when I was about 9 years old and my parents had been arguing so that night I surprised them with a romantic dinner. I lit candles and put this album on. I guess they made up because they just celebrated their 48 year marriage anniversary. 😄❤ Sing it Linda!!!
This was representative of one of the phases of her career. She had initially approached Nelson Riddle (a legendary composer in his day-the 40's through the 60's) to arrange one song on a jazz standards album she was contemplating but he said he wasn't interested unless it was to be for a whole album. She was thrilled and said that was more than she had hoped for. The initial collaboration-titled "What's New" was so successful both commercially and artistically they completed two others, all with music from what is considered The Great American Songbook. Every song on all three are beautiful but there is a particularly haunting version of "I'm a Fool to Want You" which was co-written by Frank Sinatra.
She did follow this period of musical exploration with a couple of albums culled from Mexican culture (her father's heritage was Hispanic, her mother's German). There is much greatness contain in them as well.
Linda will always be a favorite of mine, no matter what genre she is singing. I love this album, and she will always be a dewy-eyed young woman with a voice of crystal wrapped in velvet to me.
Harri, I have to complement you on your reaction to Linda's songs. Her father was Mexican, mother German, and she did 2-3 albums in Spanish, but she does not speak Spanish! I own one of them, and I do not understand a word, but her voice makes up for it easily! I think that she was the best female vocalist of all time!
Also, check your email - sent you one in May 2023. It is such a sad illness she has that is not recoverable. Linda is 1 month older than I amI!
Linda's duets with Bette Midler and Rosemary Clooney are fun to listen to.
The whole album is beautiful!
So beautiful, so gifted. Incredible album arranged by Sinatra's conductor, Nelson Riddle. Only the best for our Linda!
Actually, she did do one duet with Frank Sinatra called “Moonlight in Vermont”. She heard these songs growing up because her grandparents loved this style. When she got restless in the 1980’s and wanted to try something different, her record executives didn’t want to deviate from the pop/rock that was making millions for them and they said she would ruin her career. She did it anyway and it was a huge success. She went on to make three albums of this material! So much for the corporate geniuses 😂😂 Thanks Harri🌺✌️
Thanks for the suggestion! I always know it's gold when you suggest anything Linda.
Linda...just warms me every time I hear her sing with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra. She was made to be from that era...singing with the Andrew Sisters and Peggy Lee. This genre' is my favorite of all the great music she sings.
When I heard she was ill and could no longer sing, I wept ... for quite a while. She has been so impactful on my love of music.
Debbie & Harri, thank you for bringing the wonderful Linda Ronstadt back to the channel. I also, send her my best.
When this was new and they played it on the radio, i pulled the car over to listen with this OMG, this is Linda Ronstadt? she was nominated for a Grammy for this album but did not win. Nelson Riddle arranged orchestra pieces exclusively for Sinatra and Nat King Cole at one time in the 1950's. " What's New is a 1939 popular song composed by Bob Haggart, with lyrics by Johnny Burke.
You should try her Gilbert and Sullivan operetta Pirates of Penzance. This big band is my favorite genre.
You should hear her version of Silver Threads and Golden Needles. It's straight-up country, and it's beautiful!
Another song of Linda Ronstadt I think you should really check out is an Irving Berlin song called “What’ll I Do” also with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra. It’s a heartbreaking song.
Had this album back in the day, played the heck out of it. Remember Harri when I said Linda could sing any genre of music and she did, here is additional proof. Breathtaking
She started in the 60's with folk then country, in the 70's country rock, then in the 80's operaetta, American standards, New wave, a trio album (with dolly parton and Emmylou harris), a latin album, then came her mariachi album, she has a lullaby album,and she did an album of cabin music. She has over 30 studio albums and sold over 100million copies. She Mexican -american ancestry.
And she did Pirates Of Penzance! :o)
Nelson Riddle said of Linda that she had a decent enough set of pipes. High praise indeed.
Song was written in 1938. Lyrics added and the first big name artist to record it was Bing Crosby 1939. And she did start a 2nd career with this, it was the first of 3 albums of "standards" which went Platinum.
She had three million+ selling albums in this style with Nelson Riddle, who did produce/arrange multiple Frank Sinatra hit records. Linda didn't know that Nelson Riddle was still alive when she decided to do this style of music.
She did 3 albums of standards - all of them are top notch recordings.
One of my older favourite albums, many gems on it!
I saw her on this tour and it was incredible! The orchestra was conducted by Nelson Riddle, and had the great Plas Johnson (of Pink Panther fame, as well as many other recordings) on tenor sax. The only contemporary song she did was a cover of Desperado wtih just her and a piano
Jim....saw her w/NR too! Marvelous concert! As a side note, several years later....I got relatively drunk w/NR’s son, Christopher at a post party after a NR Orchestra concert. He was the conductor since his dad has passed. Cheers🥃
Natural, God given talent, which is rare today. A time when singers didn't need their voices manipulated. Music, real music like this, could one day become nothing but a distant memory, and music's future will be worse than much of today's. Occasionally, we still hear a voice that gives us a glimmer of hope, but they're few and far between. I'm not trying to imply that there shouldn't be any music like what is popular today. Every era has had a variety of genres, as it should be. The difference is that they co-existed in the industry, each having an audience (often a crossover audience), and receiving their deserved recognition. I've watched so many young reactors, many in their 20's-30's, and they are totally blown away by the music of past eras. Some going so far as to ask "WHAT has happened to the music today ? This was real talent ", and comment how beautiful not only the voices were, but the music itself. I got my love of music from my mom. She didn't limit herself to specific genres or eras. Sadly, it seems too many people do. I was raised on not only the music of my era (50's-60's), but of my mom's too (30's, 40's) Even my brother who is only 2 yrs. younger is stuck in the late 50's, 60's-70's. He seldom strays out of his comfort zone. We all need to do that now and then, so we don't lose something that blazed trails for so many future artists. Without the music of these bygone eras, we wouldn't have new music. I hope we eventually get to a point where "everything old is new again ", and maybe ushers in a renewal of more natural talent and less manipulating of voices .
Harri, I want to thank you for taking the time to listen to and showing so much appreciation for the talent that is Linda Ronstadt and all the genres of music that she has covered. One can say that her voice will be missed considering the health issues that have stolen her pure vocals, which is heartbreaking. But luckily, we have a wonderful, beautiful catalog of her songs that we can listen to over and over again.
As you have learned by now, Linda Ronstadt could sing anything/any style of music!!
In the mid 20th century everybody that was anybody wanted to work with Nelson Riddle.
Lena horn, Pearl Bailey, Doris Day, Judy Garland, Rosemary Clooney.
And that’s just the girls;)
Nelson’s thing was orchestration, and making a song the singers!!
Oh, this is beautiful. It sounds like some of the songs coming from my stepfather radio. Linda can apparently sing anything. Great reaction Harri!
Her album came out in the 80's and started a new trend of various "Pop" artist who also decided to start recording classic pop tunes of this era. Check out Rod Steward, Carly Simon, Art Garfunkel, and others follow suit. She also did several album in Latin (Mexican)
Linda could do it all. She's the real deal. :o)
She could sing anything, country blues, rock, opera, Spanish American standard new wave beautiful duet with Aaron Neville, nobody better in my opinion
Nelson Riddle's arrangements can bring out the best in anybody!! One of his most famous is with Frank Sinatra, on I've Got You Under My Skin. One of THE BEST overall songs EVER!!!!!
Hearing the song What's New always reminds me of Eydie Gorme (pronounced E-Dee Gormay), another voice you would greatly enjoy! I'll Take Romance & My Funny Valentine are 2 of Eydie's early hits from the mid-late 50s. So many, many more!! Eydie was married for more than 50 years to Steve Lawrence, with another fabulous voice of his own. Portrait Of My Love is one of my favorites of his early hits. Each had a hugely successful career on their own, but together, they were known simply as Steve & Eydie, and were possibly the greatest nightclub act of all time!! Their shows were just incredible. In fact, here is a special treat for you - what could be the best 15 minutes in recorded music - Steve & Eydie doing a magnificent medley of Gershwin songs. I hope you'll watch. This truly is something very special!! Recorded 1975. ua-cam.com/video/1Zni8yLEl-I/v-deo.html
The great Don Costa was arranging and conducting. He was to Edie what NR was to Frank! Cheers🥃
@@65gto32 Yes, Don C was Eydie's version of Frank's NR, no doubt about it. My dad was a jazz musician & arranger, & Eydie was his favorite singer. In fact, her rendition of My Funny Valentine was my dad's favorite musical arrangement (by Don C) with vocal accompaniment. I grew up with this stuff. Loved it then, love it now!! Even got my kids into it - took my oldest, who was 10 at the time in 1990, to see Frank Sinatra live in concert with Steve & Eydie (who she had already seen before). Also took my kids to see Paul McCartney that same year. Cheers to you, too! 🥃🙂
Linda did 3 albums with NELSON RIDDLE of these great songs from the great american songbook
I recommend that you listen to Linda Ronstadt sing Ghost of a Chance, Skylark, and When You Wish Upon a Star (Live on Johnny Carson).
If you want to hear her hold a note for just this side of forever, try "Ta Ta Dios". She'll blow your mind.
She came out with two albums of these standard songs I bought both of them, beautiful music.
3 albums with Nelson Riddle.
These are called “American standards”, from vintage of 1930s and 40s, was crazy at time she put out albums with him (he was known as great band leader) these sold well. Is part of her crazy diversity of music styles. Her Spanish songs are crazy good (even if you don’t speak Spanish you’ll enjoy)
Nelson Riddle did a lot of work with Sinatra. Some of Frank's best IMO.
I love her rendition of the standard “I’ve Got a Crush on You.”
Her Spanish songs! She's half Mexican and you must listen to her stunning portfolio of work there. Also Operetta - Linda did an amazing "Pirates Of Penzance" playing Mabel, please look for a clip on UA-cam. She's incredible.
This is the first of three releases of music from the 40's"WHAT'S NEW "(1983), "LUSH LIFE" (1984) and"FOR SENTIMENTAL REASONS "(1986) all with Nelson Riddle.
I saw her in 1984 in Melbourne perform with Nelson Riddle. She was wonderful, but I have to admit that I had my fingers crossed that she would close with Desperado! No such luck....
You should consider La Charreada from her album of songs for her father: “Canciones de Mi Padre”. Guaranteed to blow your mind, even beyond what you’ve already heard.
Hey Jacqui! Harri actually did a reaction to La Charreada awhile back (another one of my requests). Here’s the link
ua-cam.com/video/QN_C6LsZzj0/v-deo.html
Enjoy! 🌺✌️
Saw her at the New Orleans World’s Fair on the Mississippi River in ‘84 with Nelson Riddle doing standards.
Linda iui s unlike any other in her vocal gifts. She actually recorded 3 Big Band albums with Nelson Riddle and his orchestra, all amazing.
She did two or three full albums with Nelson Riddle❤
Beautiful, brings back, back in the day. Great reaction.
Check out the song, Frenesi which Linda sings with a Latin band behind her. A great song!
Linda released an album "Duets" and it includ3d a song with Frank Sinatra titled Moonlight in Vermont.
The torch song albums are sublime. What’ll I Do is my favorite song of these.
Harri, this was her 1st. old standards/ big band album, theirs really not a bad song on it, my fav, "I got a crush on you", try it you will not be disappointed,ENJOY !!!
Hi Mr. Harri, They did 2 albums together maybe more.. Great Stuff.. ♠W.G.
FROM '82 THROUGH '85, LINDA EXPLORED THE GREAT AMERICAN SONG BOOK. SHE WAS LUCKY TO GET THE LEGENDARY NELSON RIDDLE , TO WORK WITH HER. -----------NOTICE HER 40'S HAIR STYLE. --------' WHAT'S NEW " IS A STANDARD. ------------MJL, 75 Y/O
Now you gotta react to Linda in Pirates of Pnezance, "Poor Wandering One." So sad about her medical condition.
Harri, try Linda's 2004 album "Hummin' To Myself".
It's ironic that you mention Sinatra because Nelson Riddle was the arranger for Frank's greatest albums from 1955-1959. He brought the swinging style that became part of the new cool Sinatra. But he also arranged Frank's classic album about losers in love Only the Lonely. One of the songs they did was What's New and it is a powerful performance as all are on the album. I'm a rocker, but my parents weaned me on Frank and this album has become even more haunting through the years...
I had this concert on vhs tape & wore it out.
Now time to view Linda singing "Poor Wandering One" from the filmed operetta "Pirates of Penzance"!
Check out her version of the jazz classic "Skylark ". Also with Nelson Riddle. The official video is good.
Skylark was a beautiful song.
She sings opera as well.
Don't forget she started in country react to Linda's first appearance on the Johnny Cash show. She also does light opera The Pirates of Penzance is a great performance
Boz Scaggs is almost 80 years old now and he's fortunate that his voice has remained good (he takes very good care of it). He's transitioned to more jazz and blues styles.
Yes you reacted to Karachi music. Her father is Mexican. You bring joy to people too.
Glad you gave this album a listen!
68 yo white guy here, I could sing anything with my Sinatra quality baritone before my 5/20/14 stroke, which stole my performing voice. I can talk, and walk, and my arms and hands are fine.
I’m still waiting to be able to carry a tune again.
She does have a duet with Sinatra called Moonlight in Vermont. She did 3 Big Band albums. You saw her sing in Spanish.
Frank Sinatra recorded with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra and Linda of course recorded an album with this orchestra.
FILMED IN SANTA BARBARA, AT THE EVENTS CENTER, 1983.
Try Etta James, "at last" a piece of perfection!
Linda was affected with a disease similar to Parkinson, called sipranuclear palsy which affected the brains ability to transmit information to her vocal chords that controls how she wanted to sing.
New Direction ?,,,,,,,This album was recorded 40 years ago
LINDA 😍😍😍🥴
It's a jazz ballad Harry.
The biggest problem with her covering this and other genres wzs was that rockers thought she had left her roots b3hind and only sing country rock. They were so wrong, so very wrong, she reintroduced us to out past, something we all need badly.
You got that right... there's no experience like actually sitting in front of that type of band. It isn't quite recorded accurately.
In my mind, Linda Ronstadt is tied with kd lang as my favorite set of female pipes. I'd hate to be forced to choose!
It's like Duke Ellington.
Arizona. A Mexican family.
*~ Linda said she loved Frank Sinatra! ~*
Try moonlight in Vermont with Frank Sinatra.
Linda also sang Big Band Latin classic Latin songs. In the Video it’s the who’s who of salsa Latin music.
She’s half Mexican You should watch the documentary on her The Sound of my Voice it’s really pretty amazing. I’ll post the link below to this song “Frenesi”
ua-cam.com/video/k7ldf9koTSM/v-deo.html
I'm going to be just as honest whenever I respond to any first time reaction of a classic musician's work. I hope not to offend. I believe the "first time" reaction is probably not as true as most of these folks would like the viewers to believe. Still, I can appreciate their varied tastes in music. But I think most of these reaction videos are only as sincere as your basic reality tv program...that is, thought about, and somewhat rehearsed, and probably not as unfamiliar with the artist as the narrator admits.
Now on to another point. Linda Ronstadt did have what would amount to an entire career in orchestra music. She completed three albums with Nelson Riddle and his orchestra. The span of those albums alone is more content than the careers of some recording artists. I'm not dismissing here. Then Linda used orchestra in various ways in subsequent projects, including a Christmas album...but she also did an album of quieter music very much like big orchestra with a small band called, "humming to myself."
Yes you listened to her Spanish song "My Charrada" . Her father is Mexican.. She has Parkinson's disease
She actually made several albums of classics with Nelson Riddle. Her best music in my opinion
Please react to "When You Wish Upon a Star": ua-cam.com/video/4Qsaf-s395M/v-deo.html. I don't think I have ever heard her voice sound more beautiful. Thanks for your great reactions!
Here's Linda's virtual duet with Frank Sinatra: ua-cam.com/video/VknoeO34nT8/v-deo.html
Linda is the GOAT. I don't subscibe to your channel because you never give response or feedback to the comments.
Oddly, she can no longer sing. Not a single note.
