      she sang her heart out that night, I was lucky to be there.

      I've seen Linda live twice and it was stupendous. But I'm given to understand that this concert was something special from word of mouth and interviews. There are three shows I would have made a deal with the Devil to see. The Band's Last Waltz concert at Wintergarden in San Francisco; Queen doing Live Aid at Wembley; And this gem. I did get to see Bob Seger when he was doing the recorded concert for Live Bullet in Detroit and that was awesome.

    7:10 Waddy starts his solo. 7:55 his guitar strap falls off, he puts his leg up on the stage to support the weight of his guitar, Linda has no clue what's going on, her back is towards him, finally at 8:30 the bass player walks across the stage and tells Linda that Waddy needs a little help, Linda puts down her tambourine and fixes the strap for him while he's still in his solo, never missing a note... at 9:20 his solo is over and Linda gives him a big smile then turns and starts singing again... at 9:24 she tosses her tambourine down and goes back into being the hottest female singer on the planet.

      When she was read hot from 1975-1980 she was definitely recognized. She was on the cover of RS 5 times during that time period. Radio stations advertised that they played her music in heavy rotation. And she had several number one albums. But what happened is that she switched from country rock and pop to all kinds of different genres. And she lost her looks. She was forgotten by the cool kids and the critics who wanted purity from their sex rock queens.

      ~~ she was recognized - she has 11 Grammy awards and various others to prove it - but from a fan & critical perspective she was not easy to categorize - early in her career a country music publication wrote of her; "Rock people thought she was too gentle, folk people thought she was too pop, and pop people didn't quite understand where she was at - but Country people really loved Linda" - and she kept on blending different types of music & influences later on in her career - so she really defied being packaged into any one genre box ..

In the same period James Taylor was touring with "The Section", another group of studio cats.

      @@jamesbarrick3403 just my opinion, nothing personal but PB is hardly on the same level as Ronstadt when it comes to singing. Benatar has a powerful delivery but as RKennedy said Linda Ronstadt sang many different genres/styles of music and each time it was like she studied only that genre, that she was born singing only that style. Correct me please if I'm wrong but I don't know of any Pat Benatar recordings outside of rock/pop.

    • @jamesbarrick3403
      @jamesbarrick3403 3 роки тому

      @@rcanoli99 Yea you should do some research on PB. First off she is classically trained opera singer. That is her roots growing up in NYC. She married young and sang in a local band in VA folksy country I guess you could say. She split that scene and went back to NYC with a mission to do exactly what she did. Listen to her studio or live recordings you will hear her voice is amazing and she effortlessly belts out perfect pitch ranging 4-5 octaves. Vocally she does not take a back seat to anybody. If you prefer Linda's style that is fair. But look into more PB and I think you will be very impressed. They are on the same tier of female vocalists for sure, and they both have the receipts to show it. But let's be PERFECTLY HONEST here... the reason these two women are huge stars is because they were both gorgeous. You can go to any Baptist church on Sunday and find a few women that can sing so well... seriously a great voice is a dime a dozen and that is the truth. It takes a great mixture of song writing and marketability (that means sex appeal for women) and yes a great voice to become a huge star. Linda did not write any songs but that did not hold her back... she did sing great songs and showed good taste in doing so. Pat wrote with Neil Geraldo and they made a great team. But do not kid yourself if either of them were not so good looking you would have never heard of either of them. sex sells always has and always will.

      As far sex sells of course that's true. But don't kid yourself those church singers may have great voices - and a great voice is a dime a dozen - but to take a song and make it your own, to put it over as if it's your own, that sells more than the looks. Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday...were these gorgeous women? Not to me. But I could listen to either one all day. Sinatra is another - handsome sure but what made him great and a legend was the way he sang. His voice was good I don't know if it was great..but his phrasing was great, his delivery. Anyway thanks again for the Pat Benatar education I will def search for some of her other stuff.

      Early 1980s, I saw her in concert shortly after she'd been on Broadway in the musical "The Pirates Of Penzance". You're talking about singing 6 days a week, sometimes twice a day.
      In concert, her voice was unbelievable !!
      A full-throated, multi dimensional, rounded-out upper and lower vocal registers. Tremendous power, grinding her gears when the lyric called for it.
      All without pain, zero strain.
      That night, she was second to none.
