Thank you for mentioning originally recorded by Roy Orbison - you are the only reactor who has done so. Linda Ronstadt's rendition is extraordinary - what a voice!
Happy that you had the privilege to hear her.... there are about 50-100 songs - country - Mexican classics - torch songs and opera that you might consider. ... and enjoy like we have.
If you want to see how versatile a singer she is you should check out the clip of her singing Poor Wondering One from the Pirate's of Penzance movie that she was in. She hits operatic notes and key changes. Really a stunning show of her singing range.
I saw her in the late 70’s and she was the most amazing live performer I have ever seen. Such an incredible talent in multiple genres. Thanks for honoring her. Her lesser known material is actually her best, in my opinion. Check out “Hasten Down the Wind” or “Try Me Again”.
Check out the recent Kennedy Center Honors, Linda Ronstadt was one of the honorees, Don Henley (Eagles) introduced her, a summary of her life and the many musical genres she mastered. Linda wanted to do an album honoring her heritage Canciones De Mi Padre (Songs of my father) was released in late 1987 and immediately became a global smash hit. At 2½ million US sales, it stands as the biggest selling non-English language album in American record history. She was and is phenomenal.
Beautiful tone, great power and range as well. I learned recently that she is no longer physically able to sing/perform. That is so sad .... It's always sad to see someone who was once so young and vital, now deteriorating physically in their 'golden years'.
I can still recall the moment I first heard Linda's cover of this song, in August of 1977. Her voice is just mesmerizing. I finally saw her perform it live in 1999, and it got a standing ovation. It's just one of those performances that make you stop and lean in, to catch every nuance. Loved your reaction! (And may I suggest you consider reacting to Eva Cassidy's "Over the Rainbow"?)
Oh Linda. How I miss the anticipation of new releases from this incredible talent. So grateful now that I made a point of seeing her perform nearly every time she can to the San Francisco Bay Area.
I saw her once, live (in the 80s). Really, a powerful voice. From her American songs: Tumbling Dice & Blowing Away (studio versions), Mexican songs: from the album Canciones de mi Padre (Songs of My Father): Los Laureles (The Laurels). From the second Mexican album: Mas Canciones de me Padre (MORE Songs of My Father): Tata Dios (Father God) & El Crucifijo de Piedra (The Crucifix of Stone), (studio versions). From Gilbert and Sullivan's operetta, Pirates of Penzance: Poor Wandering One & Sorry Her Lot (there is actual video from a live performance of these two songs! Not great resolution but watchable if only to experience her incredible vocal range, and in an acting role). I didn't feel like she quite captured the Nelson Riddle genre but that's okay, I still love her! Doesn't mean someone else won't enjoy them! I saw her again last year. She didn't sing, she only spoke of her life and experiences. I went out of respect and love for everything she's given of herself, to us. Lucky, lucky, us....Keep Listening! After her, there's still Joni Mitchell and Kate Bush (but then....you may already know about Kate!)
I love her duet with Paul Simon on “Under African Skies” on the album Graceland. He sang it in concert with Miriam Makeba in a rather iconic 1987 concert in Africa, but Linda’s version is just gorgeous.
Please I just found your channel. And I swear you have got to hear Haley Reinhart singing creep with Post modern Jukebox! As a wonderful starter!! Thank you for your reactions they're wonderful to hear and experiance!
It's true. Have seen her live numerous times. Such power and control over one of the most enchanting voices ever. And I don't recall her EVER singing off key.
If you have a chance, check out her live performances of some of the Spanish-language songs celebrating her Mexican heritage, particularly "Los Laureles," "La Charreada," and "La Cigarra." You will be amazed.
I've only recently found your reactions, but you've already become my favorite reactor...just watched about a third of a video by another reactor had turned it off when took off the 'phone, got out of his chair and dropped to the floor...I much prefer your honest reactions to those overly-dramatic (and, quite obviously, planned) and over-the-top "reactions." Plus, my opinion of you went up when you mentioned that this song was originally by Roy Orbison...you've either done your research or you just have a very good knowledge of the subject, and that impresses me. So, keep up the great work!
Ohhh don’t speak to soon, I have my moments when I get carried away in the excitement of the music I’ll tell you that! However, when listening to more intricate and intimate performances I find it best to pay full attention because more often than not there is an undertone of truth and feeling rarely shown by most musicians. Thank you for your kind words! 🙌🏼🙏🏼
I'd like to see you do Heart - Dog and butterfly. It's a beautiful song and much softer than most of their stuff. It shows Ann's voice off in differnt ways.
Unfortunately she has suffered for years with an auto immune illness. Getting old and sick is no fun...glad she had her time under the spotlights to share her talents.
Thank you for that Linda Ronstadt is amazing but I would love for you to take a listen to another vocalist from that’s time. Donna Summer is doing a song Leon Russell classic A Song for You czcams.com/video/MphQEfhlfZE/video.html
Oh please tell me you took my Linda Ronstadt suggestion but please listen to the songs I suggested that are old school with Nelson Riddle who always conducted for Frank Sinatra.
I know you’re a Pentatonix viewer as I am I’d like to suggest Somewhere Over the Rainbow it would be an audio reaction they haven’t made a video which is almost more intense. Susan
One of the best female singers I've ever heard
Yes, Linda has a lot of tools in her tool box! Love her. ❤️
Thank you for mentioning originally recorded by Roy Orbison - you are the only reactor who has done so. Linda Ronstadt's rendition is extraordinary - what a voice!
Happy that you had the privilege to hear her.... there are about 50-100 songs - country - Mexican classics - torch songs and opera that you might consider. ... and enjoy like we have.
Indeed, and don’t forget so many rock hits too, duets and more. An American treasure. Don’t recall other artists to have so many genres done so well
She can smile in a way that would melt the hardest of hearts. Such beauty and musical talent in a 5 foot 3 inch package.
You absolutely nailed her appeal. Shes an angel
If you want to see how versatile a singer she is you should check out the clip of her singing Poor Wondering One from the Pirate's of Penzance movie that she was in. She hits operatic notes and key changes. Really a stunning show of her singing range.
She is one of a kind ! I'm so glad I got to see her perform live twice in New York City. Thanks for your reaction
I was a huge Linda Ronstadt fan back in the 60's and 70's when I was in high school & college. Wonderful voice!
I saw her in the late 70’s and she was the most amazing live performer I have ever seen. Such an incredible talent in multiple genres. Thanks for honoring her. Her lesser known material is actually her best, in my opinion. Check out “Hasten Down the Wind” or “Try Me Again”.
Love, love, love Linda Ronstadt. Thank you.

The most beautiful Mexican/American/German singer ever!
WONDERFUL ! AMAZING ! FANTASTIC !! and awesome review !!
This is probably my favorite Linda Ronstadt single. Just gorgeous.
An amazing, beautiful voice! She sings with her heart, just like Pasty Cline.
Roland Meza You had to have heard Lynda’s version of crazy
This song always reminds me of my home state of Louisiana

The has such a lovely voice. Beautiful ❤️
Oh Linda. How I miss the anticipation of new releases from this incredible talent.
So grateful now that I made a point of seeing her perform nearly every time she can to the San Francisco Bay Area.
She's lost her voice due to Parkinsons Disease...there is a great documentary about it called "The Sound of My Voice".

I enjoy your channel and you so much! Thank You 😊
one the best voices in the last 60 years
OMG i havent heard this song or her in forever
I love her duet with Paul Simon on “Under African Skies” on the album Graceland. He sang it in concert with Miriam Makeba in a rather iconic 1987 concert in Africa, but Linda’s version is just gorgeous.
Please I just found your channel. And I swear you have got to hear Haley Reinhart singing creep with Post modern Jukebox! As a wonderful starter!! Thank you for your reactions they're wonderful to hear and experiance!
I really love this lady, her voice is so rich and the range is fantastic. You should react to her " Loose Again " performance.
"Ever chose to sing": I don't think she did. I think she was compelled to sing. She had no choice. I am glad that was true.
Check out Linda singing Nelson Riddle classics! She and Karen are among the Mt. Rushmore of GOATs women singers!
Love Linda Ronstadt ♥️
My mother saw her live once and swears that Linda doesn't need a microphone. It breaks my heart that she can't sing anymore.
I've seen her live about a dozen times and you're right. Power!
It's true. Have seen her live numerous times. Such power and control over one of the most enchanting voices ever.
And I don't recall her EVER singing off key.
Listen to Linda sing, 'Long Long Time'
So beautiful
If you have a chance, check out her live performances of some of the Spanish-language songs celebrating her Mexican heritage, particularly "Los Laureles," "La Charreada," and "La Cigarra." You will be amazed.
I love your videos! ❤️

You should have chosen Desperado to react to. Beautifully done.
Linda and Karen Carpenter are 2 of the best lady vocalists ever. Prove me wrong. Bet you can't.
I'd like to see you do Heart - Dog and butterfly. It's a beautiful song and much softer than most of their stuff. It shows Ann's voice off in differnt ways.
Unfortunately she has suffered for years with an auto immune illness. Getting old and sick is no fun...glad she had her time under the spotlights to share her talents.
The word brilliant is overused... but it applies correctly to Linda Ronstadt.
Linda Ronstadt...her spanish songs
I recently bought a copy of Linda's 'CANCIONES de mi PADRE.' Simply wonderful!
Linda Ronstadt singing Afro Cuban standards. The band is the Who’s Who of Afro Cuban and salsa legends czcams.com/video/k7ldf9koTSM/video.html
Classic! And rightly so. Please react to Chris Stapleton “sometimes I cry” live at the Bing lounge. I absolutely guarantee you won’t regret it.
I always adore this song!
One of my favorite songs!
Absolutely love her voice and her backing band The Eagles aren't that bad either.
Timothy Treveil By then Glenn Frey and Don Henley had left her band and formed eagles.
Please react to Dionne Warwick After You/Ill never love this way again live 1982..love Linda though
Don't disagree at all. Thanks for keeping Linda's beautiful voice alive!
Thank you for that Linda Ronstadt is amazing but I would love for you to take a listen to another vocalist from that’s time.
Donna Summer is doing a song Leon Russell classic A Song for You

Why don't you react to I will always love you by her? She recorded it long before Whitney.
Oh please tell me you took my Linda Ronstadt suggestion but please listen to the songs I suggested that are old school with Nelson Riddle who always conducted for Frank Sinatra.
Hi Susan! I did indeed take your suggestion, I have ‘what’s new’ next to react to! 😁 thank you so much for suggesting one of the greats 🙏🏼
Kasian Hyronne be well and stay safe.
I know you’re a Pentatonix viewer as I am I’d like to suggest Somewhere Over the Rainbow it would be an audio reaction they haven’t made a video which is almost more intense. Susan
czcams.com/video/IKGOynEKeVY/video.html
Could you please react to courage the new celine dion album I think your going to be pleasantly surprised!!
Please react to Linda Ronstadt in Spanish:czcams.com/video/5EIhXzm3SGs/video.html
I just love her. For me though, no one touches Joni Mitchell
It’s a beautiful song, but this live version isn’t as good as the studio one. Love the way she ‘belts’ out the chorus.😃
