- This is a combination starting off with a lesser-quality version transitioning into my VHS-recorded over-the-air version (unfortunately I came in late to the performance missing the first part.) Cleaner version starts at 1:15 into the clip. Performed on "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" March 3, 1983, NBC Studios, Burbank, California.
Linda Ronstadt is the greatest, most diverse female vocalist of her generation.
What more could you want!
No Auto tune, no backup singers,PURE!
Every note, expression is perfection. She makes it look so easy. One of the best voices of our time.
She sings like it's nothing. What a great voice. love her.
I have watched this clip for years and will continue to watch it for years. Mesmerizing.
A very nice song by Linda Ronstadt. I can listen to it over and over again and it never fails to amaze me. This voice and this charisma, great. The band is also great, I especially like Andrew Gold's solo.
Gosh I miss having new music from her. My favorite of all time. Thank you Linda.
Wowzers her voice is like velvet shimmer and so beautiful.
Another good song,but any songs Linda sings is a good song,take care and enjoy your retirement,your passionate fan and love you forever
Linda Ronstadt is the greatest thing since…, Linda Ronstadt! Incomparable.
such a pretty song and how beautiful she was there
Still is!!
Linda became an even better singer in the 80's than the 60-70's.
She learned better tonal control and reining in that blaster of a voice.
I LUV this song cuz it's a perfect example of her knowing when to unleash and rein in that power.
And her vocal purity is hard to top.
Compared to someone like Aretha Franklin, Linda still has not gotten the full credit she deserves for her contributions to various genres in music.
She is one of those rare artists whose live renditions often surpass the recorded versions. This performance is def a perfect example.
Pirates of Penzance made her better.
@@JeffBattleFish Yup. Imagine, she was the biggest woman singer in the world, and she took opera lessons in her 30s.
Amazing how Linda could go from strong to vulnerable in a simple turn. Not many can do that. Elvis could when he really tried.
I appreciate her works, collectively. Still love the 60 - 70's!
I agree, 100%!
HOW WAS THIS NOT A MILLION SELLER ?
What a babe! Watch the whole performance. Outstanding! Can't get enough of Linda!
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL VOICE MS. RONSTADT ....
Ah Andrew Gold...what a GREAT musician
So incredibly beautiful and an incomparable voice.
Goes without saying how great the song and her voice is but I've never seen anyone say so much with expressions. Love it!
Beautiful song. Love that chord change just before she says that's easy for you to say.
I never knew Andrew Gold passed on. Quite a loss He an Linda were very good friends. RIP Andrew❤😮
This tune was delivered with a cool-as-ice-like control by all the musicians. Linda’s “oooooooooohh’s” at the end are just incredible. Of course I have to acknowledge Bob Glaub on bass here, right? His playing is seamless. Beautiful Jimmy Webb song here.
Almost forgot this tune. Great rendition! The beauty and longing in Linda's voice is incredible.
Stunning.
one of the greatest beauties - inside and out
Voice of an Angel. The best.
Great singer long live the 👑
I woke up this morning with this song going around in my head. I cannot imagine how Linda feels now knowing that she can't do this any more when she was so good at it and was so heartbreakingly beautiful at the same time. I am glad that I can still enjoy her now as much as I did throughout her singing career.
Linda was the ultimate crossover artist one of the greatest voices of a generation she was as good live as in the studio the real deal ❤🎶
One of my all time fav. or hers!. Not so well known as her other big hits. I never get tired of listing to her voice. Such range and power!.
I fall in love with her again ! 🎵🎶🥰
She's looking right at me with those gorgious Brown eyes and I'm helpless❤
Many thanks! A great performance, very close to the studio recording which many artists can’t capture. Linda Ronstadt is the one person I would have loved to have seen in concert. I’ve seen lots of artists, sorry I missed her!
Thanks Linda for the memories.
Wow I had forgotten this one! It’s beautiful 💗💗💗💗
I didn't know that she covered this song. She had the most beautiful voice and such phenomenal control.
I always thought this was the original. No? Who sang it first?
@@MadMax31577 me too!
Linda was perfect and always was. Simply the best. I miss her very much
Woah she’s clear! HD SO COOL
Linda Rosntadt...Andrew Gold...This song is superb.
If you've had doubts her being one of the top 5 best female singers of all time, this performance should settle the doubt-it did mine! What an exceptionally beautiful voice!!! My favorite by her, along with "Different Drum!"
Correction: "...doubts of her being..."
Perfect song at the perfect moment. With Andrew Gold to boot. Win-win. ❤
Johnny always liked Linda. That was no lip-synched performance. She sang it live. R.I.P. guitarist Andrew Gold (1951-2011), who died in his sleep of heart failure at age 59.
This live rendition is better than the recorded version. I have the album. She is one of those rare artists whose live performance often surpass the recorded take.
Didn't know about Andrew. Great guitarist !
Had a pop hit in '77 with "Lonely Boy".
@@shihlin1 Andrew wrote the theme song for the TV show "The Golden Girls ("Thank You For Being a Friend"). His mother, Marni Nixon (1930-2016), was the singing voice for actresses Deborah Kerr in "The King and I" (1956), Natalie Wood in "West Side Story" (1961), and Audrey Hepburn in "My Fair Lady" (1964). His dad, Ernest Gold (1921-1999), was an Austrian-born composer who won an Academy Award for writing the score of the movie "Exodus" (1960).
@@ericandsarahsmom1000 Wow, thanks for shedding light on that.
Now I'll watch Golden Girls thinking of Andrew.
And Marni Nixon as his mom, all those iconic female performances in Hollywood musicals with her singing !
Sad to learn of Andrew Gold's passing - he was quite a talent (I remember Lonely Boy - it was a good song! - I'm sure he had many more that were just as good or better, he just didn't catch the breaks that some others did. :( He's no doubt in Rock & Roll (or Pop) Heaven now!! RIP - Linda looking and sounding great- she was smokin' 🔥🔥🔥
Linda's deserved every bit of his attention. Johnny recognized the very best!
I'm going back to the 80's. I checked with Amazon and my flux capacitor will be here Thursday. Should have it installed by Saturday. Anybody else want to come?
Yes. I know I'm late, but with your time machine that shouldn't be a problem 😃. I'd like to go back and talk myself out of getting married, which happened on March 19, 1983. It didn't turn out very well. 😦
Let's not forget Andrew Gold on guitar here RIP.
He had a pop hit in '77 with "Lonely Boy". Very few know that.
I remember. ✌
And he also wrote and sung "Thank You For Being a Friend," a hit in 1979, which was subsequently used as the theme of "The Golden Girls."
I did.Got his album.
Gosh I remember lonely boy being my fav song played at the roller rink 😄
I don't know the rest of the band but Andrew Gold (one great musician) played the guitar solo and Linda's eyes were beautiful through out the song
She has mastered the "Come Hither Look".
J8'adore c 'est d, ' 1 romantisme extraordinaire ,on en a vraiment besoin. De cette "romance là ,de ces ballades ,qui nous transportent ailleurs sur les plages de Californie pour s'évader 1 peu de ce monde de folie ,qu,'est cette Fracce ,aujourd'hui !....
Greetings from San Diego California
Her voice. Those eyes. Damn.
Agree she is one f the best
Awesome!
Excellent
Linda Lord bless and keep you always psalm 139 David you are heavens letter stamps willing
Wow! 👏
Johnny always gushed over Linda. He was like a little kid. Few performers got that treatment.
Magnum Opus!
That 80s guitar tone though ouch. And the 80s pop one dimensional bass drilling down. Another LR masterpiece
in spite of the band.
Wow.
11
i get lost in her voice..none better...none
I was in my mid-20s when this came out, and Linda was so much the one I DIDN'T want to get away.
Surely up there with Judy G/Sarah V/Barbara S/Janis J.
Don't forget patty Smyth.
Can someone tell me who is in the band?
Andrew Gold does the guitar solo
Bob Glaub on bass, Russ Kunkel is on drums, Dan Dugmore also on guitar.
2:55 please explain

No i mean her eyes
Yeah, she kind of jerked her whole body. (And didn't notice at all til you mentioned). A breathing/performance thing?
What do you mean about her eyes? I've watched this 3 times now. It's a wonderful performance.
She could pass for Wednesday in the Addams family

And what is your garbage supposed to mean? Nothing.
I can see you were a liberal art major in English. Or maybe a biology major .
