Linda has the unique ability to cover any song and make it her own. Love her. Next up: Her cover of The Stones' Tumbling Dice. From my understanding, Jagger rewrote some of the lyrics for her. Also, What's New, an American songbook classic she covered with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra. It's incredible! Oh, and this is a Smokey Robinson song she covered.
Linda does such a great version of this Smokey Robinson song. She is one of the best female singers & can sing any genre from ballads to country to rock & even opera. She also sings in Spanish (album - Canciones de mi Padre). She has had so many hits such as "Different Drum", "Long Long Time", "You're No Good", "Poor Poor Pitiful Me" etc. Ronstadt also did two great duets, "Somewhere Out There" (with James Ingram) & "Don't Know Much" (with Aaron Neville). The Eagles were her backing band till they went out on their own & she has covered a lot of their songs. Linda also collaborated with Dolly Parton & Emmylou Harris on a few "Trio" albums.
The great Smokey Robinson, powerhouse of Motown Records sold over a million copies this tune which he wrote and released in 1965. This was especially nice by Linda also. :)
It’s a beautiful song by a beautiful and extremely talented singer. If you look, you’ll find her singing a duet of this song with equally incredible Smokey Robinson, who wrote it.
I saw her at The Lions Share, a small club in San Anselmo, north of San Francisco around this time, and our table was center stage with only enough room in between for the waitress to walk by. My heart was pounding, being that close to her. My friend Rory, who played guitar, went up and talked to the band during intermission, and was invited to fly down to LA with them for their next gig. So, we left him there, and when he got back, he said they stayed at the Eagles' house, who were out of town at the time. Jackson Brown also used the same house when he was in town.
Biz, please listen to Lose Again, I wish I could get someone to react to this great song, Linda is definitely a top notch singer, I’ve seen her live twice and one of the best female singers from this generation
@@mistersnitty7721 , I know I don’t know how to get anyone to react to it, there’s a UA-cam video of her in a studio singing it, really shows off her powerful vocals
Analog all the way! That's why the sound is so big and warm in the 70's. Written by Smokey Robinson. Try his "Tears Of A Clown" it has elements of this song in it, but it's up and movin' and groovin' :)
I'm glad you're hearing LR. Please read her history. You will defex appreciate her more. She does all sorts of genre, even spanish/Mexican...... Thank you for your reactions 🙏.....
A beautiful old Smokey Robinson song. That man knows how to write an amazing song and Linda sure as hell knew how to sing them. More Linda Ronstadt please. Don’t believe the trash talk about her. It’s mostly bullshit for clicks and views. The most beautiful female voice on the planet 🎄✌️
The Eagles formed three years prior to when she recorded this song, but the styling she lays down on it leaves me wondering how it might have sounded with The Eagles backing her up instead. Fortunately, for that there's "Rock Me on the Water", her cover of the Jackson Browne classic, with Glenn Frey on guitar and Don Henley on drums and maybe both on backing vocals. Recording studios were multitrack analog in 1975. The transition to digital recording began in the nineties.
Nope, analog. Tape recording in studio, was both a board performance and engineering art form. Gotta do Linda’s live cover of The Rolling Stones Classic, “Tumbling Dice.” (Provided you haven’t already) She had the voice of an angel and the power to throw it to the back of any concert hall she ever stepped into. 👈 Btw, checkout Smokey Robinson (and Huey Lewis w/ Gwyneth Paltrow’s sp? cover) doing “Cruisin.”
An interesting thing about this version is that the back up musicians' tracks are exactly the same as the version that was on the "Prisoner in Disguise" album but Linda's vocals are different in a few places. Not better or worse, just different. I wonder if they recorded a new vocal track, just for this video or if they just used an alternate vocal track from the same session and shot the video to make it look like they were filming an actual session. Or did they actually film an actual session (unusual because videos weren't a thing back then) and the take that they filmed wasn't the take that made the album's final cut?
Whatever you haven’t heard by Linda, do the rest. She’s brilliant.🖖🏼

This song was written and sung by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. Linda's voice is gorgeous. I think she changed the "schlirics" from girl to guy.
I can only add to the rest of suggestions.The woman is top notch,Queen of all genres and you will love everything she does

The pride of Tucson, Arizona. ¡Viva, Linda!
Linda has a beautiful voice, she can sing anything. Thanks Biz
YES!
Ooooh you GOTTA check out the Motown 25 duet- Smokey & Linda singing "Ooh Baby Baby" and "Tracks of my Tears" together in 1983 I think. Magic! ❤
Another great song from Linda R🔥🔥
One take, cover quick, no excuses. Almost impossible in 2023.
Love it. Smokie was a great American Poet!

Her live version of “Desperado” is great!
The original song by Smokey Robinson came out in 1965.
Great song. Great reaction.

Biz, please listen to Lose Again, I wish I could get someone to react to this great song, Linda is definitely a top notch singer, I’ve seen her live twice and one of the best female singers from this generation
Lose Again is my favorite Linda song, and I know them all. I have yet to find a reaction vid for it.

She was amazing.
Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris and Dolly Parton, covering Neil Young's classic "After the Gold Rush ", also the "Sweetest gift 🎁 "
A beautiful old Smokey Robinson song. That man knows how to write an amazing song and Linda sure as hell knew how to sing them. More Linda Ronstadt please. Don’t believe the trash talk about her. It’s mostly bullshit for clicks and views. The most beautiful female voice on the planet 🎄✌️
Could u react to a long long time by Linda ronstad please.
"Down so Low" live by Linda

Great version of smokies song.... she can sing in so many gente....

That looked like a couple of Eagles backing her up. I could be wrong, tho', but she hung out with those guys.
Nah you're right The Eagles were her backing band until they formed the Eagles in 1971( I think it was)
One of my biggest crushes when I was a kid. Total cutie patootie!
They had multi-track recording way before this but it was still analog at that point.
Love how you enjoy the music!
Blue Bayou is a great song by Linda
Please react to Linda down so low
Looks like The Eagles members Glen Frey and Don Henley are accompanying her on this recording.
This was a Smokey song, I’m surprised you never heard it before!

Her version of Jimmy Webs Adios is a killer.
you get a chance listen to the original from Smokey Robinso and the Miracles

she took Smokey's song and made it her own
🤣 Noodles
She had a great voice, but it was the wrong one for this song.
Some of that stuff is click bait, with tidbits of truth
