Linda Is actually from Tuscon, AZ, but was talking about where the video was being broadcast to. She could sing rock, country, country rock, pop, and opera. She probably was the most successful female voice of her time (which lasted across decades). I was fortunate to see her in a small venue in Boston. It is the most wonderful concert I've ever been to. She is a very thoughtful person, and remains that way as one can gather from recent interviews. She has had Parkinson Disease for some time now and can no longer sing but she remains a light to many. I am loving that you and other reactors are giving her some love. Thanks for the reaction.
The instrument you're wondering about is a steel guitar & Yes, Linda could sing like crazy. She also helped the Eagles get started back in the day. Check out all of her music. I guarantee you won't regret it.
You won't find a professional musician that doesn't have a deep respect for Linda. I guarantee you'll become addicted to her unbelievable voice. Every genre. Keep digging!!
I'm semi shocked you don't know more Linda as you have usually had great exposure to older artists. She is one of my top 3 female vocalists ever. Power, versatility, tenderness, range....from country, to folk, to latin, to soul, to rock.....she could do it all. One of the biggest female stars of the 70s.
Thanks Nick for doing my request. Glad you enjoyed! This is a live performance used as the official video and the song shows her range. Linda has been my favourite singer since the 70s and has covered many genres. Linda is actually American and I only got to see her live once in the late 70s when she toured Australia. Great show and that beautiful voice filled the MCG that night ❤
@@itzel1735 Apparently one reason more people don't play pedal steel is because they're so expensive - a couple thousand $$$. Like Linda, you'd have to save up a lot of nickels & dimes.
Her last name is pronounced Ron-stat. She has so many classic hits!! Some of the Eagles were her backing band for a few years before they went out on their own! When she was singing there wasn’t a MTV or VH1. Most videos are live performances.
Best version ever of this song. Linda was an amazing artist with such awesome vocals. Someone who will never be forgotten for those of us who love her. ❤ Steel guitar artist was also awesome!
Glad you liked this. You will enjoy this rabbit hole. This has only scratched the surface. Try 'Down So Low' or 'La Cigarra' if you want a further insight into what she's capable of. ❤
Linda is in the top five of my list of greatest vocalists of the 20th century. My trivia fact is that Linda is who Paul Simon meant in the song Under African Skies when he wrote the lyric "I said take this child, Lord From Tucson Arizona. Give her the wings to fly through harmony"
Linda is from Tucson Arizona. She was diagnosed with a Parkinson's-like disorder called progressive supranuclear palsy in 2013. She is still gorgeous at 77. She is half Mexican and did an album in Spanish for her father.
@@davidburnett93 it's different. Slide guitar is a regular guitar played with glass tube on your finger that you slide along the strings to make the sounds.
Linda Ronstadt (Ron-stat) was one of my all time favorite singers from the 70s. Incredible vocals. She was part of the Legendary Trio that consisted of Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris. All legendary artists in their own right. Sadly, Linda can't sing anymore due to a medical condition. :*(
LINDA RONSTADT had an OPERATIC quality voice and could LITERALLY sing ANYTHING .... and did ! Her catalog includes rock, Pop, Classical, Big Band ....... you name it SHE GOT IT !
The lovely Linda no one can touch her, she was one of the top female artists of the 70's and 80's, she did this live, no auto tune artists don't perform like this anymore. She was a pure musical genius who explored multiple musical genres and was a smashing success in all of them!
Once again, I find it unbelievable that younger generation has not heard of Linda Ronstadt ... well maybe not so unbelievable ! IMO, the best singer (male of female) that I've ever heard ! This was a concert that was filmed, so you will find many songs from this concert on UA-cam. And she is from Tucson AZ. !
Linda always had the best musicians, adding so much to the experience and displaying her outrageous talent to the max. If you can find it, check out her 1980 concert performance of Elvis Costello's "Party Girl." Actually, the entire concert was incredible, but now only clips of individual songs can be found. They are worth it. Also her concert in Offenbach, Germany featuring many of her best numbers , particularly "Down So Low." Then do not miss her recorded duets with JD Souther on his songs, especially "Prisoner in Disguise." Ronstadt and Souther are very special together! Have fun!
She had the most beautiful voice on the planet until it was stolen by a neurological disorder. Thank goodness for all of the recordings of the gorgeous sound that emanated from her mouth. This is definitely a live performance that was adopted as the official video for this beautiful song. She has an amazingly diverse forty year catalogue and has won every award imaginable. Her rabbit hole is definitely worth a deep dive. That is a pedal steel guitar you asked about. 🌺✌️
i watched this reaction twice!! She's amazing! Has been nominated in pretty much every genre: Country, Pop, Jazz, Rock, Easy Listening, Broadway Latin, Duo with Aaron Nevill, etc.
No, Linda is American of partial Mexican descent. The concert was being recorded and would be broadcast in Australia. This lady has/had the greatest voice and talent and crossed almost every genre and flawlessly that genre her own. May she feel well today and know that she is loved and adored by hundreds of millions.
Linda Ronstadt is from Tucson, AZ. React to her songs It's So Easy To Fall In Love, Somewhere Out There (duet with James Ingram) and Don't Know Much (duet with Aaron Neville of the Neville Brothers) please.
Check her out back in the day... When I was five or six I remember the first time I heard her... She was part of the group The Stone Poneys the song is Different Drum... Worth checking out.
Always funny to see a pup hear one of the greatest of all time. Any genre and for a long time. Struggling to identify steel guitar is entertaining as well. Congrats on the journey though. And thought she was from Australia! Bless him.
There's a reason why she's in the Rock and roll Hall of Fame and was also honored at the Kennedy center by President Obama, Linda Ronstadt was a Megastar
She recently received a Ph.D. from the University of Arizona. That instrument is a slide guitar. She's American but had a large following in Australia as well.
Linda has 11 Grammy’s, she sings “Rock”, “Folk”, “Standards”, “Spanish” and even “ Opera”. She was born in Arizona, Please Listen to her “La Cigarra” in Concert, you won’t believe it, she tears the sh*t up!….. SanJoséBob
Linda Ronstadt first hit with Different Drum, was a folk song when she was with The Stone Poneys. She helped create a genre, called alternative country or country rock. She was from a Mexican background her great great great, great grandfather was from Germany, but moved to Mexico and married into a well-established Mexican family in Sonora. She grew up in Sonora Arizona. The border changed after the Mexican American war, and her family was in Arizona. She said if she heard it in her living room on the radio before she was 10 she could authentically sing it. She’s had country hits, rock ‘n’ roll hits and R&B hits. She recorded three Spanish language albums, 2 mariachi and a Salsa album She did two albums with Nelson Riddle the great American songbook She did the Pirates of Penzance on Broadway. You could see the film of her singing opera. She did La Bohème at the public theater. She did two albums with Dolly, Parton, Emmylou Harris, they were called Trio you will die when you hear their harmonies. They are musical sisters. There is nothing this woman cannot do vocally. How duets with Aaron Neville are legendary An Oscar winning documentary on her life, called The sound of my voice. She retired in 2010 with what she thought was Parkinson’s. It’s been re-diagnosed but it has the same effect. She cannot sing anymore and it is extremely physically debilitating. But I tell you that woman is driven she still doing lectures, she’s written a book on her life, a book on the Mexican food she grew up on and produced a documentary called Linda Ronstadt and the mockingbirds. This is an organization she works with Mexican youth in California to keep them connected to their heritage and out of trouble.
This song is such a vibe. Man, I just think of her condition and just ... aging in general, you singers out there, sing your hearts out while you can. Life's too short for fear, and shyness. Sing what's in your heart and let your audience find you. With all the bile that's in the world today, we could always use some new music and voices.
The instrument you asked about is a pedal steel guitar. It is played with finger picks on the right hand and a metal bar or "slide" in the left hand. There are three primary instruments played that way. There's Dobro guitars which look like acoustic guitars with a hubcap in the middle (actually called a "resonator"). Then there are lap steels which are often rectangular and, played across the lap (Dobros are often played that way as well). Both are tuned to open chords and the player can play other chords by sliding the slide left and right. The pedal steel is kinda the big daddy of the three. It is mounted on a stand and has both foot and knee levers to change the type of chord so it's not just stuck with major chords or whatever. Mostly used in country music.
Linda has huge range. You should watch 'Pirates of Penzance. A hilarious stage play and movie. She goes way high and holds it. So impressive. Nice reaction id-ing her vocal control and range.
We can't see the video, however that sounded like a steel guitar. The player sits at it like a keyboard & slides a gizmo over the strings for this unique sound. Linda is flawless. Always. As for it being a video, in those days, videos were just a short film of a live performance. Until MTV in 1981, there was nowhere to play videos, so there were no cool videos from those days.
According to my Mom Linda has always had those pipes and that crazy range. My uncle and Linda's brother Pete were friends from high school until my uncle died in 2000. Pete and my uncle were both in groups that recorded at the same studio in Tucson, Arizona along with Aunt Gayle (uncle's 3rd wife). Linda is from Arizona not Australia. You can actually find recordings from all 3 here on UA-cam. Pete's is easy to find since it was his band. Just search for Pete Ronstadt and Zoom Records.
Later on she made an album in Spanish called Canzones de mi padre. Traditional Mexican songs with mariachi orchestra - try it out - her vocal skills are out of this world!
You might be interested in hearing/seeing Ms.Ronstadt in "The Pirates of Penzance". It was originally performed as part of Shakespeare in the Park, but they re-did it as a feature film.
The instrument you asked about is a pedal steel guitar. Very distinctive sound and primarily found in country music. She's a tiny little Latina from Southern California with a voice that's just insanely good. She has a string of hits that you can check out, starting with "Different Drum" as lead singer for Stone Pony
If there was a Mount Rushmore of female singers of the 20th century, Linda would likely be on a lot of people's short list of faces to carve into the mountain. She'd sure be on mine.
One of the all-time best female vocalists.
One of the all time best vocalist period !
Many, myself included, would place her at number one.
I 💯% agree.
add Karen Carpenter - and love Allison Krauss ... Angel Voices
THE all-time best!
For years her background singers...were Glen Frey, and Don Henley...who became The Eagles🦅🦅....she introduced them!!!!!!!!!...that's the Steel Guitar
My favorite female vocalist! Perfect pitch...no auto tune. She can sing any genre. 🎉
her and ann wilson take the cake (if we leave janis joplin out of the equation).
Don't forget Desperado. She's always sang exquisitely!!!

Oh,she was one of my favourites in my youth. I’m sorry she is unwell now. Beautiful memories from Australia
So sorry to hear that, Fabulous Linda was (and still is).
From a small boarder town of Tucson AZ ❤
The instrument you're wondering about is a steel guitar & Yes, Linda could sing like crazy. She also helped the Eagles get started back in the day. Check out all of her music. I guarantee you won't regret it.
The Greatest female singer ever! Every young man in the 70’s had a crush on her! She can cover any genre! 😎❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You won't find a professional musician that doesn't have a deep respect for Linda. I guarantee you'll become addicted to her unbelievable voice. Every genre. Keep digging!!
Linda is one of the greatest of all time. She can, and has sung almost every genre flawlessly. Criminally underrated.
Not underrated at all. She is a legend and well recognized for her abilities and contributions.
I'm semi shocked you don't know more Linda as you have usually had great exposure to older artists. She is one of my top 3 female vocalists ever. Power, versatility, tenderness, range....from country, to folk, to latin, to soul, to rock.....she could do it all. One of the biggest female stars of the 70s.

Pedal steel guitar... an incredible instrument nobody is learning anymore.
Larkin Poe are helping keep it alive in a non-country context.
@@itzel1735 Apparently one reason more people don't play pedal steel is because they're so expensive - a couple thousand $$$. Like Linda, you'd have to save up a lot of nickels & dimes.
I heard it was invented in Hawaii.
Her last name is pronounced Ron-stat. She has so many classic hits!! Some of the Eagles were her backing band for a few years before they went out on their own! When she was singing there wasn’t a MTV or VH1. Most videos are live performances.
Thank you for your A1 reactions and appreciation of our Linda. She rocks with all genre, even Spanish/Mexican music👏
Best version ever of this song. Linda was an amazing artist with such awesome vocals. Someone who will never be forgotten for those of us who love her. ❤ Steel guitar artist was also awesome!

My trivia fact is that Linda is who Paul Simon meant in the song Under African Skies when he wrote the lyric "I said take this child, Lord
From Tucson Arizona. Give her the wings to fly through harmony"
The pride of Tucson, Arizona. ¡Viva, Linda!
So glad you played Linda she's a legend. Love her voice. Half Mexican and early backup for the Eagles
Actually they were HER intro band. She was big before the Eagles.
One of my favourite female vocalists
She is an awesome singer
Linda is from Tucson Arizona. She was diagnosed with a Parkinson's-like disorder called progressive supranuclear palsy in 2013. She is still gorgeous at 77. She is half Mexican and did an album in Spanish for her father.
Yes! She is the GOAT...that instrument is a pedal steel guitar....
Is that what is referred to as slide guitar or is it something different
@@davidburnett93 it's different. Slide guitar is a regular guitar played with glass tube on your finger that you slide along the strings to make the sounds.
@@patriciab825 thank you for replying, you're very gracious
I grew up listening to Linda, love it!!!
I was raised listening to linda !! My mum used to play her music all the time. Love her !! Poor poor pitiful me was my fav !
One of my favourite songs by one of my favourite singers. Love it.
you need to listen to all of her music...lots of good stuff

Gorgeous important pipes especially Live. Powerful and tender. Authentic heartbreak...Linda sigh.
Thanks, kid! This is my favorite by Linda.. I love how casual she is.. not tryin' to be "sexy" and as you say, no strain for her to hit those notes...
I'm soooooooooooo glad you did this. I wanted to be her growing up so bad. She's in my opinion one of the three best female vocalists of all.
Linda could do anything...and WELL!
She had an AMAZING VOICE ❤
Linda Ronstadt is from Arizona. This performance was filmed for Australian TV.
This woman took the world 🌎 by storm back in the day!💃🌹
A vocal stunner and an absolute goddess. Hall of Famer...gorgeous

Steel guitar. Very often used in country music. Linda was lodged into a mixed genre of country/TexMex/pop.
I saw Linda in concert in the late 70’s. What a great show. She sounds exactly the same in person. At that time the ticket price was $7.50! 😎👵🏼☮️💜
Linda Ronstadt is from Tucson, AZ.
React to her songs It's So Easy To Fall In Love, Somewhere Out There (duet with James Ingram) and Don't Know Much (duet with Aaron Neville of the Neville Brothers) please.
I love seeing young people discovering Linda. No auto tune, no elaborate costumes. Just pure talent.
Hi Nick! Roy Orbison wrote this classic. Linda sings everything. Especially great are her Mexican songs - La Charreada😊
Check her out back in the day... When I was five or six I remember the first time I heard her... She was part of the group The Stone Poneys the song is Different Drum... Worth checking out.
The instrument you question is called a steel guitar. It has been used in C & W for many years.
She's epically talented!
Always funny to see a pup hear one of the greatest of all time. Any genre and for a long time. Struggling to identify steel guitar is entertaining as well. Congrats on the journey though.

Linda could sing the entire female vocal range with power and clarity.
No she's not from Australia. She's from Texas. The concert was being televised back to Australia.
Hi Nick, it's a steel guitar. Linda, one of my favs of her songs. One other fav. is a duo with Aaron Neville...Peace☝️🖼☝️🎇🤓
One of my fav duets too. Will add to my list of requests 😊
Linda has huge range. You should watch 'Pirates of Penzance. A hilarious stage play and movie. She goes way high and holds it. So impressive. Nice reaction id-ing her vocal control and range.
She was a pop sweetheart back in the 70s. Between her and the Wilson sisters, many late night fantasies were made.
Another powerful female vocalist is Ann Wilson of Heart . Check out Barracuda or Crazy on You for starters
That my friend is a steel guitar one of the best instruments on the planet ❤️❤️❤️❤️
The instrument is a "Pedal Steel Guitar". It's featured heavily in country and some folk music.
We can't see the video, however that sounded like a steel guitar. The player sits at it like a keyboard & slides a gizmo over the strings for this unique sound. Linda is flawless. Always.

Love Linda. Also, look up Vika and Linda doing their version. ❤
Sweet reactions.
Can one say PERFECT?😊❤
I saw Linda in Pirates of Penzance on Broadway 1981
steel/slide guitar ...Linda is a gold mine to be explored
Bro you have a damn good singing voice, cudus to you.
I couldn't see the band, but Linda often played gigs and recorded with Glenn Frey and Don Henley who became the founding members of the Eagles.
Original was Roy Orbison. Linda did an amazing job with it.
Love Her, and the pedal steel guitar.
You have to play without stopping the transition is what makes rhis song. Replay
Every chick then wanted to be Linda.. she was the bee's knees.. you have to be a certain age to get that!
Great female vocalist

Great cover of a great Roy Orbison song… 👍
The instrument you were asking about is a steel guitar. It was used a lot in country music back in the day, it was almost mandatory.
It takes a lot of courage to take on a song sung by Roy Orbison, not many can pull it of, I think Linda did a great job.
My first concert Eagles & Linda Ronstadt at Mile High/Denver ✌🏻… uhmmmm 1975-ish
Oh & thats a steel guitar.
