Willie Nelson said there are only 2 types of men in the world: those that are in love with Linda Ronstadt and those that haven't met her yet. This is a constant.
Oh, my goodness! I am ashamed to say I have never heard Linda’s version of this until right now! Lovely Linda never disappoints. You hit the nail right on the head. Her version is vastly different from Patsy’s. It stands alone. Just beautiful!
From Linda's 3rd album, from 1972, " Linda Ronstadt", this cover of Patsy Cline's song is a masterpiece. Linda's powerful and precise vocals add a magical touch to this great classic. It was recorded at The Troubador club in Los Angeles. Linda's emotional delivery is heightened by the great backing instrumentation of the band who later became The Eagles. Happy Birthday Linda, thanks for years of great enjoyment. 🎈🎈🎉🎉🎁🎁🎂🎂 Great reaction Harri. ❤ Beautiful choice Debbie. 👏👏 Cheers from Canada ❤❤🇨🇦🇨🇦
Happy birthday sweet Linda. One of the top three singers of all time. Yes Harry, she is gorgeous. I think I've had a crush on her since her Stone Pony days. All of your Linda Ronstadt reactions are on target.p
For me I have my trio of best female singers of all time and they are all on the same level, each one unique and so so beautiful..1A Karen Carpenter, 1B Linda Ronstadt and 1C Marilyn McCoo. How blessed I was to have grown up in their era. Each contributed to the songbook of my life, and each has stirred my soul and spirit in countless ways.
The greatest most versatile female vocalist of her generation. I Fall to pieces is one of three songs recorded live from her self titled album from 1972. There are another 7 songs from the album that are studio recordings. Great album. Linda's version Crazy from her Hasten Down the Wind album is amazing! Anyway, Linda did have the best vibrato in the business. She learned it from her brother when she was young. He is also a fine singer.
Check out the amazing Ava Cassidy for a more current songbird who can sing absolutely anything, any genre, etc. sadly she passed away just as her music was starting to catch on.!💙💙💙
If there is anyone you'd want fooling around with your song, it's Linda. She's been my favorite female singer since I first heard her many, many years ago.❤
My 2 favorite singers of all time! I heard Patsy in the early 60's. And I thought no one could top her version. Then Linda did it, Wow! Linda's version is magnificent! She can take any song and totally make it her own. This is a classic example! What a talent. She is supurb! And it was recored live at the legendary Troubadour in L.A.!
Still have this album…every song is gorgeous and perfect. I think there’s a lot of us that had her earliest records and who felt Linda was so fantastic and couldn’t figure out why she wasn’t a bigger artist at the time. Eventually everyone else caught on and got ‘Linda Fever’ haha
She’s truly an amazing singer. Love the vibrato in this cover, too. Many thanks, Debbie, for another stellar request, and to Harri, for the joyful reaction. Happy birthday, Linda 🎉
Her voice was so strong and yet so well modulated! Total breath control. A range of 3 octaves! Perfect enunciation! She didn't need much, if any amplification in most indoor venues let alone a recording studio. Didn't need a sound engineer to do much of anything.
Check this out. Mandy Banett as "Patsy Cline" not yet 20 years old in 1994 on the Grand Old Opry "Singing Blue Moon Of Kentucky". Love Linda since I was9 years old in 1975, but this is utterly surreal. Mandy's voice is just phenomenal. Two of three years ago she was finally named an official member of the Opry Family. ua-cam.com/video/IqUiCL7N8gw/v-deo.html
when i was young we would go to LA to see Linda at the clubs . Linda is the best singer i have ever heard live and i worked at a large famous recordind studio in Hollywood. then as stage manger .
I'm a massive Linda fan, and it's no surprise to me that she did a high quality version of this classic .. But IMHO, Patsy's original still holds the crown, and it will probably forever be unmatched .. Linda's was very sweet to listen to, but Patsy gives me chills when she does it.
Linda Ronstadt - 1972 1. Rock Me on the Water 2. Crazy Arms 3. I Won't Be Hangin' Round 4. I Still Miss Someone 5. In My Reply 6. I Fall to Pieces 7. Ramblin' Round 8. Birds 9. Faithfull 10. Rescue Me
I thought I had heard mostly all Linda's songs and covers, but never this one. She has always been my favorite singer . It's tough to cover Patsy's songs, but she did a fabulous job, as usual. ❤
Part of the album was live. Pre-Eagles members were her unnamed back-up band. There is a Neil Young song, a Johnny Cash song, Jackson Browne song, and more. This is a Capitol Music album, part recorded in a studio; the live cuts are at the famed Troubadour in L.A.
Harri. Thank you once again for doing great commentary on my request. After reading through the comments it seems most people agree that her voice is gorgeous. Thanks again Harri 🌺✌️
Debbie, I thank you for submitting this gem. I have never seen or heard this one from Linda before and it was fantastic. 👏🌹 Harri, your review and commentary was first rate!
I'm so glad that we got to hear both in the same month as it made it easy to compare them. You gotta just love both and Linda really stepped up and did honor to Patsy. Thanks Harri, Debbie and Imadrummin!
Not one bit surprised Linda and Dusty Springfield do covers as good or sometimes better than the original. Definitely one of the greatest singers ever. Yes, she looked absolutely great, many guys really dug her look including myself.
Yeah, the applause caught me off guard the first time I heard it as well. I love her cover of this Patsy Cline classic, and as you stated they're very different. Thanks, Harri.
Hunch: Linda learned from Patsy and others a way of singing that kept well within her "belt it out" abilities. k. d. lang has similar influences but belts out a little more.
Linda reaction? I'm here! Got these albums.. Who was not in love with this woman back in the day? Wha-a-a? Shock here too, man! Holy moly! Thanks! HBD, Linda!!
The City of San Francisco celebrated Linda Ronstadt's 78th birthday by dedicating a special day in her name. "The city supervisors formalized the declaration on Tuesday, July 9, making Monday, July 15, officially 'Linda Ronstadt Day.'" (San Francisco Chronicle, July 8, 2024) The group of musicians Linda Ronstadt brought together for her eponymous third album included several future member of The Eagles -- Glenn Frey, Bernie Leadon, Randy Meisner, and Don Henley. It was during the recording sessions for that album that they discovered how well they gelled together. For another treat from that record, check out "Rock Me on the Water", a song with Glenn Frey on guitar and Don Henley on drums. They also play on this song.
Love your appreciation for Linda, Harri! I share in your opinion of her talent and beauty and was lucky to see her live a couple of times in the late 1970s when she was still playing huge stadiums that she easily sold out because she was so popular in the U.S. (no idea why she wasn't then in other countries). She sounded as good or better live as you can tell from his very early live recording. Though not live, Linda's version of Patsy Cline's "Crazy" from her "Hasten Down the Wind" album is amazing as well.
@@meni8015 Glad you saw her live! I looked up the stats - Linda had better success there than most other countries (zero real hits in Britain in the 70s). My 2nd favorite female singer, ONJ, had more chart success in the U.S. than Australia, though the difference between the two countries was much smaller than Linda's.
@@andyb7942 that's interesting. Linda was filling stadiums and all over the radio here back then. Still amazes me that all these American reactors have never heard of her.
Normally you would think that a great song like this one by a legendary artist such as Patsy Cline would be off limits but Linda's voice is so special she could take what I consider a perfect song and somehow make it even better.You should listen to Linda cover "I Will Always Love You" by Dolly Parton Harri!
Although Whitney Houston‘s cover is obviously one of her most well-known hits, it’s very different and I think a bit over the top with her vocals. Linda is more of a ballad softer. Dolly Parton, who wrote the song, also did a version and all three are unique and very nice.Dolly Parton is probably the most simple and the most country. Linda is in the middle and then there’s the bombastic torch song by Whitney.
I actually saw Linda with The Stone Poneys at Fillmore East doing 'Different Drum' in 1971 w/Don Henley and Glenn Frey. Wonderful show. Love your reaction to this, Harri.
The cover by Leann Rimes is the most like Patsy's original. (Except for the yodeling.) Linda's version is more distinct in style from the original, but excellent in its own right.
Thanks, Harri. This live version is what appears on the studio album. There were several live cuts on the album recorded when several prominent Eagles members were forming her backing band.
Thanks and great appreciation to Linda Ronstadt on the anniversary of her birthday. What would the world be without her beautiful voice that we can continue to hear every day! I know I do. I think I’ve been listening to Linda Ronstadt for 50 years and she’s probably the one singer I’ve listened to the most. This is an exceptional version; she also did a cover of Patsy Cline’s, “crazy,“ which may have been a little more popular it was on a later album that sold more. That’s also a good version to listen to harry. Props to the slide guitarist; Linda always had the best musicians backing her and saw herself as part of the band rather than a diva. I’ve seen her a couple of times live and I always thought she was a bit shy on stage, especially doing the pitter patter with the audience, but then would launch into a song and it didn’t matter. I’m so glad people are discovering her again.
Linda really did this song justice. I love her voice. One of my all time favourite female artists and I was lucky enough to see her live twice. Glenn Frey, , Don Henley played guitar and drums respectively on this track
I saw her live in 1985ish in Adelaide. Yes she is as good live as on recording. Still very beautiful but cannot sing any more due to her condition. Her Mexican heritage (her father) passed on his love of Mexican music. She had a wide love of music,including Opera and she also did a tour of classic 40s and 50s songs with Nelson Riddle and his orchestra. Absolutely beautiful.
Boy did God bless my generation when they created this woman...so much talent in one voice it just isn't fair. Linda, you have given us so much light and joy in this very broken world and I give you eternal love and thanks for, well, you being you!!!!!!
Hi Mr. Harri, I love Ms. Patsy and I love Ms. Linda, but I can tell that Ms. Linda's voice is young on this song.. I think that after Ms. Linda got a little older and her voice matured her vocals got better.. ♠Mr.G..
I've been a Linda Ronstadt since 1967 and I have many of her albums. I've seen and heard her live in concert and she sounds the same if not better than her records. She has the most amazing voice and a beautiful soul! Dolly Parton was exactly right when she said that "Linda can sing anything".
Just came across this video . . . . it's now August and i missed her birthday. Linda Ronstadt has been a favorite of mine for many years, and yet I have never heard this performance. What a joy to hear it now! She was one of those few singers who could sing any style and genre and do it well, while putting her own mark on it. My intro to Patsy Cline came from my childhood. My parents would only listen to Country & Western, and while I disliked most of it, there were a few artists who really grabbed my attention and left a deep imprint. Patsy Cline was definitely one of those. Whenever i would hear her voice, I had to stop whatever i was doing and just sit and soak in every note! Linda Ronstadt has the same effect on me! Some artists are truly unforgettable! Have you heard her performance of "Long Long Time"? it's incredibly moving. Millions of people got introduced to it when it was used for the theme of an episode of the tv show "The Last of Us".
Willie Nelson said there are only 2 types of men in the world: those that are in love with Linda Ronstadt and those that haven't met her yet. This is a constant.
think he actually said that about Emmylou Harris
@@heather6668 He probably said it about both--the quote I read did say Ronstadt. Hey, it's Willie--there's plenty of Willie to go around!
@@BarbaraABryant LOL probably sucking up to whoever he fancied that week. Hey he's human. Sorry. Gotta love Willie Nelson -
Oh, my goodness! I am ashamed to say I have never heard Linda’s version of this until right now! Lovely Linda never disappoints. You hit the nail right on the head. Her version is vastly different from Patsy’s. It stands alone. Just beautiful!

Patsy and Linda, two incredable voices and women
linda is the greatest singer i've ever seen live. out of thousands.
I've seen her live many times. Only other performer I've seen to match her vocally live is k.d. Lang. ✌
I have to agree. Live she was even better than her great recordings!
Of course it was live! Linda always sounded even better live 😍 😊❤
Happy birthday sweet Linda. One of the top three singers of all time. Yes Harry, she is gorgeous. I think I've had a crush on her since her Stone Pony days. All of your Linda Ronstadt reactions are on target.p
But sadly you and her travelled to the beat of a different drum... 🙂
Well yeah, especially since I was only 13 years old. LOL@@jackgilchrist

Makes at least two of us.

No one other than Linda could cover this classic song so beautifully and true to form.
She’s truly an amazing singer. Love the vibrato in this cover, too. Many thanks, Debbie, for another stellar request, and to Harri, for the joyful reaction. Happy birthday, Linda 🎉

I agree both versions are classics and the world is better for it🙏
What a vibrato. I stole the words, I swear, right out of your mouth. A heartbreaker, Linda.
Linda Ronstadt will always be my favorite female singer, I’ve been lucky to see her in concert 3 times
Part of the album was live. Pre-Eagles members were her unnamed back-up band. There is a Neil Young song, a Johnny Cash song, Jackson Browne song, and more. This is a Capitol Music album, part recorded in a studio; the live cuts are at the famed Troubadour in L.A.
Linda brings tears to my eyes, her voice in so beautiful and ethereal, that’s actual talent ❤
Linda sings traditional country with the best
She could sing in every musical style. She was classically trained in opera.
Harri. Thank you once again for doing great commentary on my request. After reading through the comments it seems most people agree that her voice is gorgeous. Thanks again Harri 🌺✌️
Thank you for request Debbie x
I just watched the Lowell George tribute concert on U Tube. Linda and Bonnie killing it.
Linda has the ability to sing all 3 of the female vocal ranges.
Debbie, I thank you for submitting this gem. I have never seen or heard this one from Linda before and it was fantastic. 👏🌹 Harri, your review and commentary was first rate!
You’re welcome. It’s always my pleasure to request her music as I never tire of her gorgeous pipes! 🌸

Love, love, love Linda. One of the best doing covers. Check her out covering Tracy Nelson's "Down So Low".
One of my top Linda songs. She's incredible, no matter what she's doing.
This album also has "I still Miss Someone" written by Johnny Cash and Crazy Arms. Two country classics recorded by many artists.
Never heard this. But, as soon as I saw the combination of singer and song, I knew it'd be incredible. It was.
Both versions are fantastic.
Two beautiful ladies and both versions individual and perfect!
Yeah, the applause caught me off guard the first time I heard it as well.
I love her cover of this Patsy Cline classic, and as you stated they're very different. Thanks, Harri.
So love her & Happy belated Birthday 🎉 . Now you have to listen to her version of Crazy beautiful.
Haven't heard this in ages. Thanks for the memory! Long live LINDA! ♥
I've never heard this! Thank you so much for playing it. Love Patsy, but I think this version sounds more modern.
Hunch: Linda learned from Patsy and others a way of singing that kept well within her "belt it out" abilities. k. d. lang has similar influences but belts out a little more.
yes I saw her live at WKU. She was amazing
Amazing voice,Linda is so smooth,great version.Linda is one of my favorites.

Linda's version is more distinct in style from the original, but excellent in its own right.
My goodness Linda was the most beautiful woman in the music industry.
What can I say Harri, Beautiful ❤. Thanks for sharing.
I totally agree. She is the complete package. I’ve been in love with her for years!

There are three live recordings on the 2nd side of this album. And, yes, they are pretty perfect.
Hi Mr. Harri, I love Ms. Patsy and I love Ms. Linda, but I can tell that Ms. Linda's voice is young on this song..
I think that after Ms. Linda got a little older and her voice matured her vocals got better.. ♠Mr.G..
She does a great job on "Crazy" too
You could also check out Linda's cover of "Crazy", live in atlanta 1977 (same concert as "Desperado")
Linda's cover of "Crazy" is better still. 😊x
Best female singer of the 20th century and so humble about it.
I agree 100% Linda had a special voice. One of my top 5 female3 vocalists of the 20th century. #1 most versatile.
Don’t forget that Linda also sang soprano in an opera. I think it was Pirates of Penzance (no guarantees about which opera).
I've been a Linda Ronstadt since 1967 and I have many of her albums. I've seen and heard her live in concert and she sounds the same if not better than her records. She has the most amazing voice and a beautiful soul! Dolly Parton was exactly right when she said that "Linda can sing anything".
I have been in love with Linda Ronstadt forever!!!
❤ both are great. Have you ever heard LeAnn Rimes version?♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you for your variety of songs.
Just came across this video . . . . it's now August and i missed her birthday.

Millions of people got introduced to it when it was used for the theme of an episode of the tv show "The Last of Us".
Those eyes, etc...Hari you have no idea. Back in the 70's, damn near every boy, young man, maybe old man had a crush on her.
