I was trucking over to Sacramento, and left Boomtown after a bite to eat. I had to chain up as it was nasty with snow and ice. I got by the scale, and the weather cleared up, so I stopped at a rest area and took the tire chains off. I was a mess, and wet. I went into the comfort station, and Linda was sitting there on a bench. I immediately recognized her, and I told her I knew who was. I asked her if she would like to have a chat. Sure was her reply. She gave me about 45 minutes of her time. I told her I played a few gigs with Neil Young as a youngster, and I play guitar now. That had to be about 15 years ago. I'll never forget it. What a nice lady she is. Thanks Linda.
Stopped to fix a young woman's bicycle chain which had come off and jammed, riding up the Chicago Lakefront around that time.40+ years ago now. I was heavily involved in the repair, sitting on the ground with a chain tool, her leaning over the bike watching, when I looked up and ... O ... M .... G. Imagine how hard it was not to act like a blithering idiot looking straight into Linda Ronstadt's eyes from about 18". My God she was beautiful. I was stunned. She was very sweet, gracious, laughed it off, talked to me like we were friends, asking what its like to live on the lakefront, etc. She gave me a number to call to get tickets to her show that night. And so I did. 2nd row. Great show. When she told the story of "this nice cute guy who fixed my bike" and waved to me I about feinted.The best "brush with greatness" (as Letterman used to say) in my entire life. What a memory, and happening across this song brings it all back. Thanks, Linda! If you ever need your bike fixed again ...
Hey @scottube1 what is a chain tool and do you always keep one in your pocket when you are walking along the beach ? I Live in MI been to Lake MI many times but only on the MI side. I guess it would be interesting to try the Chicago side.
I dunno, it's been 50 fuckin' years I worshipped this woman. Almost nothing has remained constant through all that time. But this has. What a gift she is. It honestly just doesn't get much better. If any. Wherever you are, Linda, thank you and be well.
I was at this concert. December 13, 1977 at the Fox Theater in Atlanta. I was so happy to hear this song because I had always loved the way it went straight from When will I be Loved to Willin on the Heart like a Wheel album
That is our lady Linda showing off her country roots, singing a soulful “Willin,” because she knows what it’s like to be on the road. I think at her core she had country roots, growing up in Arizona, but as she has noted with her musician family, she was exposed to the American songbook of the 40s and 50s, mariachi, and later, rock ‘n’ roll. And she showed us that she could do all of them.
Linda is one of a kind. Stunner, amazing pipes, perfect timing, incredible soul. We are losing all the great ones. Live music will never be as great as it was in the 50s, 60s and 70s. How lucky are we to have lived in the golden age of rock, blues, Motown, Soul, R&B and Funk?
You are absolutely right, Bill. And sadly, within the next 5 or 10 years, they will all be gone. I try to see as many of the great old singers and bands as I can. Last year, I had tickets for 4 concerts, but the pandemic got in the way. I've got tickets to see her old backup band play Hotel California in October. I saw them a couple years ago. Glenn's gone, but his son does a good job, filling in. Sadly, Linda's singing days are over. Linda, thanks for the memories. I wish you well.
Lowell even spent time with Linda, and by 1979 he was gone. Dr. said he died of "chronic excess." Wonderful rendition of his song Linda, appreciate it!
I love so many of her songs, but I keep coming back to this one. It just seems perfect. Every syllable of every word is perfectly sung. Alice, Dallas alice. Baked by the sun EVERYtime I GO to MexiCO. Just a great song
She's everybody's type. Even women would love her as a friend. She's real and down to earth. And when she performs, its bare bones. Not a lot of smoke and mirrors to make her look or sound better than what she is. Also, she really never pushed the sexual aspect of her stage persona. She never needed to. Can you imagine her with male dancers or females twerking- lights flashing, her wearing a bathing suit and high boots?! No. She has talent. And it speaks for itself.
Very astute--i got to meet Linda about 20 years ago (after she was no longer singing) because she was best friends with my ex-girlfriend--they grew up in Tucson together--and my ex said there is no friendship she values more
@@anniefannycharles9951 I agree with most... however unintentional it may have been, I saw her in 1980, in Tucson, and she came onstage in a U of A football jersey... and that's it :-)
Her talking voice is adorable! Then when she starts singing her voice is so powerful and awesome! Such a cool contrast. Love you Linda Ronstadt! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Linda was a perfectionist and did not like delivering her sound in a large venue where she felt it was compromised. So consider yourselves fortunate to sample her stadium performances on youtube which in my opinion delivered and then some. At this time in 1977 at age 31 she was very recently, very rich due to hard work, dedication, and her perfectionism. She never quit improving until she quit rock. What a voice, never a wrong note in tone or pitch. Her vibrato remains unmatched. This is Linda at the very top of her game when she did not even know it.
Her intro of this song and her tale about Lowell George - without mentioning his name - is just fuqn priceless. When I saw her on her "Mad Love" tour she sang - or tried to, anyway - "Desperado", whereupon her first attempt after the full musical intro she "forgot the words" and had to start over from the beginning. Classic Ronstadt.
She didn’t write it but she took a song and elevated it into something that far transcends its source. The sympathy, the elocution, her clarity of vision make this song remarkable.
growing up, i heard Linda from my folks playing her music, dancing and my mom singing along. i’m now 55 no longer have my parents but still have beautiful Linda’s great tunes and many sweet memories, golden.
Her instrument was like a Stradivarius and she played it to divine perfection. Live, on certain magical nights, Ronstadt was breathtaking in sight and sound. No wonder they all were so devoted to her.
Yes, you and me both, and about a gazillion other guys would board that, for Linda! Ah man, she is the most absolute, talented and drop dead gorgeous woman of my lifetime. And I'm still, willin! Love ya, Linda!!😍😎😘
There was a guy who interviewed her in the last 5 years (after being diagnosed with Parkinson's) and at one point he was talking about Jerry Brown and how he never liked him, because Linda was supposed to be his girlfriend. LOL. I'm pretty sure he spoke for millions of us.
Thanks Little Feat, I started my California music journey from Little Feat and now came back to Linda Ronstadt whom I first had no interest in. In these days, I've been listening to Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Browne, JD Souther, Karla Bonoff, Byrds and early Eagles.
I have never heard this song or seen footage of the song. Linda was the first girl I ever loved, I was 6. Now I am 50 and she still makes me wanna love her. God love this woman, she suffers from a disease that took her voice from her and her fans. I pray onto the Father right now to love her as we have loved her to make her days better. WE ALL LOVE YOU . GOD LOVES YOU MOST AND cannot wait to hear you with his chorus of angels, but he needs to wait until you say your're ready and he is glad you are making the plans for this ICONIC lady.
How far we have fallen since this powerful heartbreaking songbird grabbed the mic and sang her songs to us. A true champion of songwriters, musicians and cooler than the others. Sigh...
We always wish the people we love to hear, will always stay young and can be enjoyed forever ! Alas, as time goes by, we tend to age, and still have that special voice, but they obviously lost a little, and we still go to see them for one reason. While they are singing now, even if it is different from years ago, we are watching them sing in our(memories)time and enjoying it just as much as years ago.. The fact they still want to perform for us, doesn't rule out happiness for all. Linda sang all kinds of music, ballads, feel good, and emotional, with a starred voice and great stage presence that we remembered and talked to the crowd like a friend or neighbor would and that meant a lot. Wishing her nothing but good health and happiness
Your adoreable,nobody like you ,I adore this song.i love you linda Ronstadt my very favorite singer and i sang and roked along with you tjeough some tough stuff in my life. If it wernt for you id not have made it .your an angel god givin Peace...i'll never forget you lady gorgeous women!!! I saw you live 3 times
This just sent shivers down my spine and put a tear in my eye, stunning voice and amazingly talented beautiful woman, loved her since I first saw her live way back then.
This video, especially, shows off Linda's charm, and illustrates the remarkable fact that this tiny person had one of the largest voices in the history of pop music.
In my Top 3- female Rockers ever, along with Grace Slick(Jefferson Airplane-Starship) and Ann Wilson(Heart)all 3 powerful, unique voices and no surprise from the '60-70's but Linda had that smalltown charm, humility and beauty that made her even more attractive on the outside.
One of the greatest voices to ever grace the American stage! Loved this girl so much!! Linda, peace and rest upon you, and thank you for all you've done!!
Wow, Tumbling Dice, and then Your No Good....they clear the stage and then the encore is "Willin" back to her country roots. This whole concert was amazing...wish I was there...this band is so tight! without mixing and all the CRAP that comes with some of the music today.... Makes me smile!
The love of my life introduced me to the music of Lowell George when I was still just a kid really. 32 years, and he’s been gone now coming up to 4.. it’s still leaves me gutted.. such bittersweet heartstring pulling. Linda does that well enough with her own material, this is twice the pain.
It was the Summer of my junior year in college and was driving and listening to an FM station and "Different Drum" came on. Drove to The Record Bar. Bought the record. Everyone since and every concert I could attend. Still in love with Linda. End of story.
Dad's a truck driver listened to this, Laughed a hearty laugh to, "Driven the back roads so I wouldn't get weighed" Yea, been there, seen it, done that. Said Linda's kind of cute too. :-)
Linda Ronstadt was remarkable - the Real Deal. Remember reading that Lowell George was carrying the Torch for her until his demise. Who could blame him? A rock and roll torch singer indeed.
@@tootz1950 : and what happened after his divorce? Lying to both Linda and his wife doesn't like much chance of success, though... hard to trust someone like that afterwards. Too bad!
@@CatherineSTodd Lowell George was a good looking man, who many women, some of them big-name star singers, had the hots for. Including Linda and Bonnie Raitt. And others; read them books!
Lowell did not get divorced from Elizabeth George. She knew about his infidelities, but they stayed together. She was on the road with him when he passed away.
The best singer in the world Miss Linda Ronstadt... Love all her songs... I play all her videos daily and songs...June 14,2022 keep safe and Godbless Linda🙏😘♥️🙏
Voice so completely perfect that it's hard to believe it's a live show (especially compared to what we see now days!). Absolutely love this - She's amazing. Just amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Live shows are hit or miss. The Dixie Chicks sound exactly like they do in the studio. Crystal clear, mistake free. It's always a treat to hear a professional show. Like seeing a professional video, with real production and a story that fits! (not a swipe at this 42yo video. I'm just happy to see it!)
I am a professional musician and I met Linda Ronstadt on Rock line the national radio program years ago late at night. I had to wait on hold to speak with her, and they asked me what I was going to talk about in advance , I wanted to tell her that I was a musician and that my ex and I played her music in the clubs and my ex did her Justice in delivering Linda's songs properly! But I didn't! I am friends with a girl bass player who worked with Linda's friend David Bromberg and she told me she met Linda personally and she's a really nice person. God bless Linda Ronstadt!
Loved Linda back in the day, remember a lot of her music fondly, but this clip reminds me just how lucky I was to have been in college at the time, listening to great music like this. Linda's voice is so versatile, so good. One of the very best!!
Wow. This just gets better every time I watch it. Linda was so emotive and real and vulnerable ... she experienced the best moments and some very sad ones too. What a voice, personality and passion.
Cyberella1000 It just occurred to me that Barbra Streisand and Neil Diamond were from Hollywood High also and knew each other. Ya think they might a known Lowell ?
@@johnstapleton9988 Probably not. Neil Diamond was born in January 1941 - Streisand in April 1942. Lowell was born in April 1945 and would have been several years behind them in school.
While I was big into great music 8n the 60's and 70' like Dubies, and Eagles, Wings, and not seeing Linda to much or thinking about her, her new Documentary movie sparked a whole new awareness and total admiration and crush on Linda! OMG, it could have been the liberal in her that kept me away, but after seeing this movie she has my full respect and she was smart and not a dumb beauty. So cute and sexy as she is always just being herself, not a phony pony.

Great story.
That is one great story, I am truly envious
Love that story
Hey Scott, thanks for the story; I'm so green with envy! Glad you met this lovely soul.
Hey @scottube1 what is a chain tool and do you always keep one in your pocket when you are walking along the beach ? I Live in MI been to Lake MI many times but only on the MI side. I guess it would be interesting to try the Chicago side.
Her little voice at the beginning, talking about her encounter with Lowell George, turns into THAT when she starts singing. Amazing talent.
And then he died two years after this concert in 1979. So sad. I loved Little Feet!
I dunno, it's been 50 fuckin' years I worshipped this woman. Almost nothing has remained constant through all that time. But this has. What a gift she is. It honestly just doesn't get much better. If any. Wherever you are, Linda, thank you and be well.
Crush of a lifetime. Very special gal.
shes not well but an amazing person and talent, many hits here in australia

IT'S JUNE 5, 2022 AND STILL LISTENING TO THIS SONG. I ALSO WANT TO THANK LINDA FOR HER BEAUTIFUL VOICE.
me too, been listening to her all day.
I was at this concert.
December 13, 1977 at the Fox Theater in Atlanta.
I was so happy to hear this song because I had always loved the way it went straight from When will I be Loved to Willin on the Heart like a Wheel album
Me too buddy...and I'm a retired truck driver bought the album back 4:36 this song and fell in love

We were the luckiest...now most heartbroken💔 True to what you said. Be blessed dear one! 🌹🎶🎸🤠@@123bentbrent
An evening with Linda Ronstadt in the 70s could be a transforming thing. Powerful and warm ...sigh.
Best trucker song ever..RIP dad.
man, why am i watching so much Linda Rondstat lately. Re-inspired.
Great singer. Perhaps the best ever. To my ears her voice was so open and clear.
Many have covered this tune. Her interpretation is the best.
No one comes close to that voice...power, clarity, so rich!...and just so darn cute! Thank you Linda for all the great music. Will always love you!
Totally agree.
Lowell even spent time with Linda, and by 1979 he was gone. Dr. said he died of "chronic excess." Wonderful rendition of his song Linda, appreciate it!
Linda & Lowell; the 'most beautiful couple'--
Absolutely the finest recording of this song.
I love so many of her songs, but I keep coming back to this one. It just seems perfect. Every syllable of every word is perfectly sung. Alice, Dallas alice. Baked by the sun EVERYtime I GO to MexiCO. Just a great song
Indeed
@@dallasalice1170 wow. Dallas Alice- it's a pleasure to finally meet you.
Even though she didn’t write it, she does sing the heck out of it.
She's purdy, too.😊❤❤❤
@@grokeffer6226 what a smile
Lowell George may have wrote this …but Linda made her own. Perfection…

heart warming!
Soul stirring too!
Her talking voice is adorable! Then when she starts singing her voice is so powerful and awesome! Such a cool contrast. Love you Linda Ronstadt! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Damn we had some great music back then didn’t we!
Y’all keep on Rocking, I am
☠️😉☠️
Guess I'm about your age. And yes, we had some damn good music.
Nobody in the world will ever sing this song as good as Linda did.
Maybe not in the future... but Lowell George... I don't know... he sang it pretty well...
@@tribefromthenorth That is for sure. I guess I meant besides him..

Linda Ronstadt made a lot of great music but I’d have to say that that is my favorite Linda Ronstadt song
I cut my teeth listening to this beautiful voice. I so wish I could’ve seen her live.
When I saw Linda back in those days she had one of the best bands I've ever seen.
That might be because at a later time that band would become the Eagles.
The Stone Ponies.
Really Miss the good ole days and our boomer music!! Great job !!
She didn’t write it but she took a song and elevated it into something that far transcends its source. The sympathy, the elocution, her clarity of vision make this song remarkable.
she didn't write any of her songs
@@conorkennedy3304 yes, she's a singer, not a songwriter. i'm not sure what your point is.
She did write try me again, off the hasten the wind album.
Linda opens her mouth the sound comes out and my soul responds accordingly
growing up, i heard Linda from my folks playing her music, dancing and my mom singing along. i’m now 55 no longer have my parents but still have beautiful Linda’s great tunes and many sweet memories, golden.
Those long pauses on “weed, whites, and wine “ really make this live version so great. Thanks lovely Linda.
That is a freaking perfect version of that song. Unreal.
a face that would sail a thousand ships and melt the hearts a thousand men
Her instrument was like a Stradivarius and she played it to divine perfection. Live, on certain magical nights, Ronstadt was breathtaking in sight and sound. No wonder they all were so devoted to her.
BREATH TAKING--voice like an Angel & absolutely Gorgeous Lady--stunning!
Original authentic and heartbreaking. All the best to Linda, the only songbird for many boys.
One of the best ever. Her range of vocals and styles was incredible. She will always be my darling.
Nobody better than this lady!
Thanks for the memories Linda. Your beautiful inside and out!
I still have a crush on you after 50 years😂😍❤️✌️
So did every guy I went to school with.
I was at this show. A friend of mine was Concierge at the hotel the Feat stayed at in Atlanta and scored doobage for them. Those were some cool days
The reason for a time machine - to go back and swoop her up. Gorgeous voice, mucho musical talent, great bands - all heart no vanity. Sigh ...
Best rendition of Willin' ever sung..
Don't forget she breathtakingly beautiful then.
Ron's Channel Agree about it being the best version.
Yes, you and me both, and about a gazillion other guys would board that, for Linda! Ah man, she is the most absolute, talented and drop dead gorgeous woman of my lifetime. And I'm still, willin! Love ya, Linda!!😍😎😘

How far we have fallen since this powerful heartbreaking songbird grabbed the mic and sang her songs to us. A true champion of songwriters, musicians and cooler than the others. Sigh...
What an amazing young woman. I’ve loved Linda since my friend George D’jarnet turned me on to her Stone Pony’s album. Those were the good days.❤️❤️❤️
We always wish the people we love to hear, will always stay young and can be enjoyed forever !
Alas, as time goes by, we tend to age, and still have that special voice, but they obviously lost a little,

Oh my, what a great video clip of Linda in her prime. What a combination of talent, beauty, and down-home personality. Love her!
Slowed down nice and easy so we have plenty of time to take it all in! Masterfully done!
This just sent shivers down my spine and put a tear in my eye, stunning voice and amazingly talented beautiful woman, loved her since I first saw her live way back then.
This video, especially, shows off Linda's charm, and illustrates the remarkable fact that this tiny person had one of the largest voices in the history of pop music.
Lebarosky, i agree.
In my Top 3- female Rockers ever, along with Grace Slick(Jefferson Airplane-Starship) and Ann Wilson(Heart)all 3 powerful, unique voices and no surprise from the '60-70's but Linda had that smalltown charm, humility and beauty that made her even more attractive on the outside.
when Linda 'leaned into it' no one could or can really compare.
In the history of music sir
TJKillip
Don't forget Annie Lennox, Melanie safca, Joan Baez ,
One of the greatest voices to ever grace the American stage! Loved this girl so much!! Linda, peace and rest upon you, and thank you for all you've done!!
She was the complete picture ...voice, looks and style. Her songs live on as will the memory of her. TQ for the music and the journey.
Linda, you are so special.
Got to love you
Man oh man - great singer with a great song and super band. Makes me feel like a boy again - RONSTADT in the 70s - sigh...
Tell me about it.... right in the mid 70's like 74, 75, 76, 77.... *top of her game*
Love this so much.
The real offering of the genre... the Queen of Country Rock! Lovely...
a great singer and gorgeous too
Greatest woman to ever take the stage. Thanks for everything, Linda.
For those of you who don't know who she was talking about , it was Lowell George of Little Feat ,a legend who left us way too soon !
When perfection comes together.
Wow, Tumbling Dice, and then Your No Good....they clear the stage and then the encore is "Willin" back to her country roots. This whole concert was amazing...wish I was there...this band is so tight! without mixing and all the CRAP that comes with some of the music today.... Makes me smile!
No boring repetitive vacuous lyrics, no effects, no autotune or any of that kind of BS, just totally organic and amazing. I totally agree with you 👍👍
I didn't think I could like this song any more than I have for the past 40 years, but I was wrong. This is just spectacular.
Wow, thanks for posting this! Surprised I'd never seen it before, and glad for the UA-cam recommendation that brought me here! 😎✌🏼
the best song from one of the greatest albums ever done
Linda in her absolute prime! Incredible....
Oh my God - the best, now & then, always
out of pain and betrayal and passion and hurt.....comes a masterful work of art. There is truth in every syllable of this song.
Spent many nights in Richards in Atlanta, and I was probably in the audience for this show. Lovely Linda with a voice that'll make you cry.
Did a lot a Quualudes in Atlanta in the early 70’s. A fav drug of choice.
Yep, used to love em! My last one was the night I wrapped a huge telephone pole in Athens, GA! That's been over 45 years ago!
Love how she directs the timing at the end, during the pauses, with her arm movements ...
Incredibly talented, gifted, personality, looks, beautifully strong voice, tough as nails and independent.
Any song Linda sings is GOLD !
The love of my life introduced me to the music of Lowell George when I was still just a kid really. 32 years, and he’s been gone now coming up to 4.. it’s still leaves me gutted.. such bittersweet heartstring pulling. Linda does that well enough with her own material, this is twice the pain.
It was the Summer of my junior year in college and was driving and listening to an FM station and "Different Drum" came on. Drove to The Record Bar. Bought the record. Everyone since and every concert I could attend. Still in love with Linda. End of story.
Dad's a truck driver listened to this,
Laughed a hearty laugh to,
"Driven the back roads so I wouldn't get weighed"
Yea, been there, seen it, done that.
Said Linda's kind of cute too. :-)
Linda Ronstadt was remarkable - the Real Deal. Remember reading that Lowell George was carrying the Torch for her until his demise. Who could blame him? A rock and roll torch singer indeed.
They did meet up again...after his divorce.
@@tootz1950 : and what happened after his divorce? Lying to both Linda and his wife doesn't like much chance of success, though... hard to trust someone like that afterwards. Too bad!
@@CatherineSTodd Lowell George was a good looking man, who many women, some of them big-name star singers, had the hots for. Including Linda and Bonnie Raitt. And others; read them books!
listen to " the fan" on feats don't fail me know" form a musical synopsis of lowell's feelings about linda ronstadt
Lowell did not get divorced from Elizabeth George. She knew about his infidelities, but they stayed together. She was on the road with him when he passed away.
WOW! LOVE HER VOICE and her presence! LOVELY LINDA!!!!
She didn’t demand publishing rights from songwriters. Class act and greatest woman rock singer ever.
Linda, at the height of popularity, when she was queen, and ruled American music.
If you can believe it, she was at her best live. As a huge fan I made sure I saw her as often as I could. Blew me away from the first!
Her Eyes, they SPARKLE! and the angel voice from heaven, and drop-dead GORGEOUS! We BOOMERS are so blessed!
I AM NOT A BOOMER, AM A SILENT GEN.. BUT Y'ALL ARE CORRECT ABOUT THAT GIRL... ALWAYS WILL LOVE HER....
The best singer in the world Miss Linda Ronstadt... Love all her songs... I play all her videos daily and songs...June 14,2022 keep safe and Godbless Linda🙏😘♥️🙏
Perfect 70’s beauty. She had it all. Only thing missing was me. Damn
The only problem with this is that it wasn’t longer... much longer. Much love to Lowell and Linda.
Such a fantastic song. Love you LR !!
Voice so completely perfect that it's hard to believe it's a live show (especially compared to what we see now days!). Absolutely love this - She's amazing. Just amazing. Thank you for sharing.
She didn't need dancers and a light show. She had a great band and her voice. That voice....
Live shows are hit or miss. The Dixie Chicks sound exactly like they do in the studio. Crystal clear, mistake free. It's always a treat to hear a professional show. Like seeing a professional video, with real production and a story that fits! (not a swipe at this 42yo video. I'm just happy to see it!)
You mean she’s not lip syncing? People did that???🤪
And kudos to the folks supporting her there... their voices were *SPOT ON.*
So true 👌
I am a professional musician and I met Linda Ronstadt on Rock line the national radio program years ago late at night. I had to wait on hold to speak with her, and they asked me what I was going to talk about in advance , I wanted to tell her that I was a musician and that my ex and I played her music in the clubs and my ex did her Justice in delivering Linda's songs properly! But I didn't! I am friends with a girl bass player who worked with Linda's friend David Bromberg and she told me she met Linda personally and she's a really nice person. God bless Linda Ronstadt!
Loved Linda back in the day, remember a lot of her music fondly, but this clip reminds me just how lucky I was to have been in college at the time, listening to great music like this. Linda's voice is so versatile, so good. One of the very best!!
Just. Beautiful. Her. And. The. Song.
Wow. This just gets better every time I watch it. Linda was so emotive and real and vulnerable ... she experienced the best moments and some very sad ones too. What a voice, personality and passion.
She made it all look so easy.
RIP Lowell George a Hollywood High alumni and brilliant songwriter!
Cyberella1000 It just occurred to me that Barbra Streisand and Neil Diamond were from Hollywood High also and knew each other. Ya think they might a known Lowell ?
@@johnstapleton9988 Probably not. Neil Diamond was born in January 1941 - Streisand in April 1942. Lowell was born in April 1945 and would have been several years behind them in school.
Neil and Barbara are from Brooklyn and attended Erasmus Hall High School and were in chorus together.
I love this song.i miss my sister so much 30 years later
She truly was and still is the queen!
While I was big into great music 8n the 60's and 70' like Dubies, and Eagles, Wings, and not seeing Linda to much or thinking about her, her new Documentary movie sparked a whole new awareness and total admiration and crush on Linda! OMG, it could have been the liberal in her that kept me away, but after seeing this movie she has my full respect and she was smart and not a dumb beauty. So cute and sexy as she is always just being herself, not a phony pony.
Linda chatting with the crowd( how unusual) and then boom - a stellar live performance. Vocals extrodinare. Linda delivers Lowell.
