just gorgeous,with a voice .............no tatoos ,no crap ,just pure talent!!!!!!!!!!!! what a pleasure to listen to ,even if she got old or over weight ,who cares ? she had class ,looks and talent ,look what we listen to today ?nothing
Linda was amazing from the first performances in the 1960s, but she got better and more beautiful as the decades passed. There will never be another. She always managed to make the listener think she was singing just to you alone. I miss her.
Ronstadt's incredible interpretation of this oft overlooked song serves a reminder of her powerful vocals yet sensitive treatment of a song's intent. Leading with a dynamic strong indictment against a former lover, then ending with a series of sighing coos. Unlike some great artists, her live performances never waver. Great stuff ! The artists from yesteryear will be hard to duplicate !
LOVE Linda. Very underrated song from when she was itching to break free from the rock/pop/country format that had served her so well in the 70s. Still, her voice is pitch perfect.
She has to be the must stunningly beautiful woman ever and also have the best voice ever. Remeber, there were few computer fix ups when she recorded. Imagine, yo actually had to have the pipes!! No one comes close today, With few exceptions they look like dogs and sound the same.
Nothing else like Linda. Comparisons are like a slur. She sang rings around her contemporaries and was beloved by the boyz that surrounded those pipes. Grab the microphone, let the band shine and sing your heart out. OMG - What a concept!
One of my all time favorite songs - and I loved this so much off of "Get Closer". Saw her in Dallas in the early 80's - was one of the first concerts where the artist sounded truly better than the recording. Clear as a freakin' bell.
Emmanuel Leroux Written by the great singer/songwriter, Jimmy Webb. She adored him; said his songs were not easy to sing, but felt the rewards of singing them right were huge.
A very underrated song. Loved it in 1983 and still do. Reminds me of a girl I dated back then. She looked very much like Linda Ronstadt looks here, very beautiful: black hair, dark eyes.
Exactly my thoughts. Fantastic rendition of the Jimmy Webb song. Had the LP. Didn’t really listen to the mellower stuff then. It helps to see her sing it. What a knockout she was. So sorry about the Parkinson’s. She’s very brave.
The guitar playing, arrangements and everything about this song is so damn good - her singing is so effortless so compare it to the uncomprehensible crap that is passing for music right now in 2019. This has a hummable tune, good lyrics and arrangement and you don't hear that anymore.
Lost someone in 1992...1995 this song helped me to remember her and get through some tough times...rediscovered it again after 20 years...Thank-you !!!
I remember first hearing this recording in 1983! Linda Ronstadt's voice and the song still cause me to stop and go back to the eighties, which to me were very happy and very sad, all at the same time. Bless you, Linda!
I surely did......what man didn't have a crush on Linda? Willie Nelson said, 'either you had a crush on Linda Ronstadt, or you didn't know who she was'.
Linda,I for one miss you,especially your voice today but you know what I have all your Beautiful songs to fall back on,Our Savior Jesus Christ Loves you and you are very special,walk daily with Him,hope to meet someday,thanks Jerry James
iI went to a small concert venue in a Community College auditorium, we were seated in school chairs on the basketball court, it was Linda Ronstadt and Jackson Browne.
I personally don't give a damn about anything other than Linda Rondstadt, her phenomenal voice and stage presence, and her natural beauty. Linda was my pinup girl when I was in the army in 1968 and how great it is to be able to see her again, as she was.
Don't forget the multi-talented Andrew Gold on gitbox, too. Her band comprised the creme'-de-la-creme of California studio musicians. The best that ever were.
Knew most of her band mates back then and they were ALL great players. However when you talk about "creme'-de-la-creme" in the LA session players back then, it was the "Wreching Crew" that had that title. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wrecking_Crew_(music)
As long as that’s Linda’s song, I know it’s a good one,always love ❤️ her since the 70’s,she is too good,all the best for her retirement life,love you very much,Linda
what an outrageously beautiful woman bloody hell
Man, that girl could sing. A microphone, a devoted band and a gorgeous pure voice. Linda was honestly one of a kind.
Man, nobody could ooh wah like Linda.. time for a cold shower.
Her voice is as smooth as silk, here. One of my favourite songs from her. A gem.
Man what a beautiful woman
Love this performance! Linda’s eyes are so beautiful!
Glorious vocalist. This is one of her understated gems. Clear, honest emotions. Just terrific - Linda.
Jimmy Webb gem.
How was this song NOT a SMASH hit?
just gorgeous,with a voice .............no tatoos ,no crap ,just pure talent!!!!!!!!!!!!
what a pleasure to listen to ,even if she got old or over weight ,who cares ? she had class ,looks and talent ,look what we listen to today ?nothing
She's my favorite singer
Wow Linda. Her voice is simply flawless--and smooooth as silk. Truly the best female vocalist to Ever grace a stage. NO autotune needed!
Best most enthralling female vocalist ever Linda 💓
Auto tune is a direct reflection of our current culture. Fast and easy, not always good and memorable.
You bet, right?! Flawless....always.
Linda was amazing from the first performances in the 1960s, but she got better and more beautiful as the decades passed. There will never be another. She always managed to make the listener think she was singing just to you alone. I miss her.
She's still alive, and her music also remains very much with us.
Just a wonderful piece of music. Miss Linda’s vocals are something very endearing
She and Marvin Gaye stand alone as the greatest vocalists in rock/pop/R&B history
Love Linda, but Aretha was pretty good, too
Incomparable! Perfection.
Rest in eternal peace Andrew Gold. Love his guitar playing
I don't know which is more beautiful her eyes or her voice.....or maybe its just her
Una de las mejores voces de los 70

So true!
Andrew Gold on guitar....Linda looking SO good....singing a Jimmy Webb staple. It doesn't get any better than this.
This is one of my favorite songs of Linda.❤
One of the greatest singers of our generation, lending her talent to a great Jimmy Webb song.
live perfection
Easy For You To Say....my favorite song by Linda. Absolute perfection.
One of the best vocalists ever and with a Jimmy Webb song..you cannot go wrong!!!
I grew up listening to Linda because my mom had almost all her tapes. We used to listen to her all the time. This is one of my favorites.
Im here for my Daily Linda. vaccine.
Wow, I'm sure all men must have been in love with Linda Ronstadt at one time or another, just great.
So true!
Still am 😊
Linda ----the Perfect Blend of Power and Sweetness----what a VOICE!
She has to be the must stunningly beautiful woman ever and also have the best voice ever. Remeber, there were few computer fix ups when she recorded. Imagine, yo actually had to have the pipes!! No one comes close today, With few exceptions they look like dogs and sound the same.

The only girl Singer. Gorgeous important voice, gorgeous genuine vibe - surrounded by great players.
there are 2 kinds of me...men that love linda ronstadt and men that have never met her...
Beautiful song, performed by a beautiful lady. Haunting and mesmerizing. Thank you for posting this clip.
Beautiful woman, voice, and song.
One of my all time favorite songs - and I loved this so much off of "Get Closer". Saw her in Dallas in the early 80's - was one of the first concerts where the artist sounded truly better than the recording. Clear as a freakin' bell.
I saw her on this tour. One of the first proper concerts I went to.
Linda at her best i do like that song she is so "Ronstadt "in that song
Emmanuel Leroux Written by the great singer/songwriter, Jimmy Webb. She adored him; said his songs were not easy to sing, but felt the rewards of singing them right were huge.
Amen to that! No autotune here folks
The quality and tone of her voice is just unparalleled by anyone and her expressiveness is top notch...Love her to death!!
So true!
Those eyes!
her eyes...just makes me ache... she finds a face and sings to it... its her gift.. i'm glad i'm still here to enjoy... youtube....love you linda
I'm glad I never got the chance to look into her eyes, would've driven me crazy.
Someone needs to padlock the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. If this lady ain't, it ain't legit.
She's so damn lovely..and what a good sight to see my hero Andrew Gold on guitar..R.I.P....
More I hear this tune from Ronstadt the more I love it. Did not appreciate how great a song it was back in the 80s.
gogo delux I did, I used to listen to it back then. Great and unappreciated song.
gogo delux This is a killer rendition. Her voice is so pure, haunting and sublime.
A very underrated song. Loved it in 1983 and still do. Reminds me of a girl I dated back then. She looked very much like Linda Ronstadt looks here, very beautiful: black hair, dark eyes.

I Am Head Over Heels In Love!! That's Easy For Me To Say!!
One of the great singers of my lifetime with the beauty to match. Can't forget the great Andrew Gold.
Vocal perfection. I have always loved every recording she produced.
Wasn't this an Elvis Costello song and I absolutely love this and Linda is beautiful
Jimmy Webb
The guitar playing, arrangements and everything about this song is so damn good - her singing is so effortless so compare it to the uncomprehensible crap that is passing for music right now in 2019. This has a hummable tune, good lyrics and arrangement and you don't hear that anymore.
Great singer. This delivery of a subtle under appreciated tune shows why Ronstadt was a sensuous talent with an instrument she played to perfection.
How beautiful is Linda Ronstadt, and with a voice to match,can't beat it.
Lost someone in 1992...1995 this song helped me to remember her and get through some tough times...rediscovered it again after 20 years...Thank-you !!!
Smooth and crisp voice and so powerful for such a little petite woman. Thanks for sharing this Gem of a video. I always admired Linda Ronstadt. ☆♡☆
Exelentisima mi Linda muy buenisima cantante y la mejor cantanta de musica con mariachi !!!
Carson's over in the corner smoking a cig
and feverishly trying to get his pants up before she finishes the song...WOW!!!
While I miss the stereo version, I also love seeing Andrew Gold and the Asylum crew again. Many thousand thanks.
Linda's eyes are simply mesmerizing!
she is so beautiful here.. and what a voice... she can think of a note then hit it.. sublime.. love you Linda
There's always 2-sides to every love-story, Linda....
Linda was sexy without TRYING to be sexy! She is still beautiful...
I remember first hearing this recording in 1983! Linda Ronstadt's voice and the song still cause me to stop and go back to the eighties, which to me were very happy and very sad, all at the same time. Bless you, Linda!
Love Beautiful Linda since the Troubadour Days, always will. Queen of Rock and she could sing anything!
What a great song, written back when MELODY was given some consideration.
Andrew Gold on the Strat!... and Wow what a beautiful thing LR is!!
Love love love ....
Beautiful, brillant and that voice.
An angel
Loved this album in the early 1980s.
It's easy for me to say that I LOVE this song - still, after all these years. Linda are the BEST.
Beautifiul.....what a voice...gorgeous eyes
That's one Beautiful woman. All woman I have known with Mexican/German Descent are beautiful. Joan Baez was another one.
You know Lee, Linda has a mother too and she has got Dutch DNA as well.
And Karen Carpenter, all wonderful.
One of my favorites. Period.
This song and Blue Bayou are my favorites. Music isn't the same anymore.
Her outfits are always timeless.
Happy Birthday!!
She's at her very best here!!
One of my favorites by Linda
She’s so beautiful in this video. I think every guy had a crush on her in the 80’s🙂 Beautiful voice as well. So sad that it’s been silenced...
Except the millions of gays, thank you
I surely did......what man didn't have a crush on Linda? Willie Nelson said, 'either you had a crush on Linda Ronstadt, or you didn't know who she was'.
Linda,I for one miss you,especially your voice today but you know what I have all your Beautiful songs to fall back on,Our Savior Jesus Christ Loves you and you are very special,walk daily with Him,hope to meet someday,thanks Jerry James
Iconic
How could one be a cameraman on this Tonight Show broadcast and not fall madly in love with Linda.
She's incredible.
iI went to a small concert venue in a Community College auditorium, we were seated in school chairs on the basketball court, it was Linda Ronstadt and Jackson Browne.
Her look reminds me of Rosanne Cash back when Rosanne was having her heyday in Country.
That's one of my favorite Linda Rondstadt songs. Very classy.
shes a doll!
Great Video - Thanks for posting. Beautiful!
Miss these days, I was 14 years old, loved Linda like my mom did. She had all of her 45 records.
I personally don't give a damn about anything other than Linda Rondstadt, her phenomenal voice and stage presence, and her natural beauty. Linda was my pinup girl when I was in the army in 1968 and how great it is to be able to see her again, as she was.
cooncat1utube Sorry, pal, but Linda was not a "pin up" in 1968, she was just starting out and not in that status, yet.
Those eyes!! That voice!! Have always loved her
♥️ Linda! Never will be another! Voice of the angels!
Rest in eternal peace Andrew Gold
Sing us a tune. Thanks 💕 Love.

Linda = perfection
As long as that’s Linda’s song, I know it’s a good one,always love ❤️ her since the 70’s,she is too good,all the best for her retirement life,love you very much,Linda
OMG she was amazing in this performance.
She has never looked better, DAMN!!!!! I'm gay and I am turned on! I have loved her forever, and it's so great to see this performance.
Seriously, is that an amazing song, voice and icon or what...
Linda looks GORGEOUS here--and she sounds just as good. One of Webb's best songs, haunting.
gorgeous
Fell in love with this around 1982. Beautiful
I've fell in love with her when I heard her sing.....then I saw a picture of her. Been madly in love with her since.
All my love & admiration to Linda. ALWAYS!!!
I'm glad Linda supports Atheists, takes guts
