I love Linda Ronstadt. I used to think that her recording of Blue Bayou was the most beautifully sung song that I ever heard.
It was, and still is.
How cool is that to say "I think I'll call Linda"? Please let her know we love her, and that we all say Hi.
If you call Linda....there are a lot of us out here who are thinking of her and wishing her the best.
Linda from them time I herd the stone ponies I knew I had just listen to something special and every thing afterwards was thanks for the memories
Ron Sanders ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I've been crushing on linda since I was in HS! Loved her then and now...my first album which I replayed 100x was hasten down the wind...beautiful woman and voice....pls tell her to call me😉⚘
One could have heard more music .. alas the idol worship and nostalgia proved rather dim and detremental ..
Linda gets a lot of respect as an Atheist, as she should !
Thank you for giving Linda her due honors. She is indeed a true *American* treasure.
A human treasure.

An Atheist treasure
Mr. Sklar, I’m one of the lucky ones during this pandemic. My life is stable and I have a good home. However, the isolation and the politicization all gets to be too much at times. There are a handful podcasts and you tubers I have found that take my mind away from our current situation, help restore faith in people, and give me some solace. Yours is one of them. Thank you. MSA in S.C.
Your videos are literally everything that is good about the Internet. Thank you so much for your amazing playing, stories, and insights! Such a beautiful tribute to the great Linda Rondstadt. Thank you! 🙏🏻
The fact that you corrected yourself about the drummer, tells us about your wonderful character. Thanks.
Integrity...Dignity...stuff never taught on instructional videos! lol
@MorbidManMusic --well, your name fits...i think few would make effort to give props to who did what and be focused on self...doesnt make them an a hole, just shows Lee's lack of ego in real time...
“MorbidManMusic is the time of “ wow I butt typed that while I was rolling newspapers on my paper route. Almost sounds like it means something.
Like my sainted Grandmother used to say, "I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken." LOL
@@Joesfosterdogs You left off "Transparency" (or, at least, "Translucency")! (see what I did there?) :P
What’s Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
You too sir are a legend in your own time. I’ve been playing music for the last 40 years but have never had the opportunity to meet my cousin Linda. My parents were divorced and I never got to know any relatives from Tucson. Yes her situation is sad but her beautiful voice and music will live on forever. On another note, I actually knew Mike Post (Postil) when he had a place in Hawaii. He is another monster music writer. God bless you Leland and we can see the beautiful person you are with all your kind words about others. Stay safe 🌴😷🌈Aloha
I saw Linda perform in NJ in 1995 (w/ Russ Kunkel drumming on that tour) and she was spellbinding. She hit and maintained a note during "Can't Let Go" that I still remember and felt goosebumps all over me - which I've never felt at a show before or since. You can find a show from that same tour here on CZcams from 1995 in Boston. It was essentially the same set-list. She is certainly one of the most versatile and commanding vocalists I have ever heard - man or woman.
I had such a crush on Linda Ronstadt (as did everyone of that cohort) ... plus an amazing voice ..
Still do. I saw her back in the 90's after she released Canciones. What a great show. The sets, the costuming was such a different sort of concert experience. The performance was at the Minskoff in NYC.
We all did!
Same here. So much talent!
and that scumbag Jerry Brown (gov CA) screwed her up big time
@@roberthart9886 Yeah, it really is sad what we humans do to each other sometimes.
I tend to go on and on about how wonderful Linda Ronstadt is-her consciously nurturing relationships with the best of the best songwriters, all the specifics of her seemingly effortless technique on her instrument. I’ll just say again, she seems to utterly inhabit the emotional world of every lyric she sings.
Aaron Neville has a remarkable voice and paired with Linda it's magic. Thank you.
Great that you mentioned Rinat, Leland! He still teaches, at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, and he's "Principal Bass Emeritus" of the London Symphony now, though he can't play anymore. Several friends of mine are students of his and say that his lessons are transformative! I briefly met him once, his speech and movement are very limited.
Thank you for the update. He was such a remarkable musician.
Linda is hands down my favorite female singer. So glad that she is doing well and is in good spirits ❤
Thank you so very much for doing this video. 👍🎶🙂
LINDA RONSTADT, ONE OF THE GREATEST SINGERS EVER LIVED SHE IS SO MISSED.
I love how Linda really dials herself back to a 1 when they are singing together because her voice is so epically powerful it was the best thing for the song. Love it. Definitely one of the best all-time duets.
What a transcendent vocal performance by Linda and Aaron! That kind of quality song requires the very best of players to adequately interpret it. It's not about the number of notes but the right ones; played with the kind of touch that truly elite players can provide. Thanks Lee for adding an exquisite bass part to one of the great pop songs of all time.
I write down all the names you mention and discover them for myself,you are a national treasure your self. Thank you.
Tears flowing brother. Truly the the voice of angels.
I hear you. Combination of nostalgia, moved by the beauty of moments of perfection, the closest thing to God, memories, my lifelong appreciation of her and how she could touch my heart through her gift of song. She is unique like the legends are. Worked with the best, selected great songs, always growing. This duet is so beautiful it’ll make you cry::,
Linda's "Cry Like a Rainstorm, Howl Like the Wind" album came into our house when one of my sons was 2 years old and it quickly became his favorite. He and I especially liked the duets Linda and Aaron Neville sang together. We spent a lot of time dancing around the house to their amazing music. All these years later, it was my son who pointed me to this video. Hearing your stories and watching you bask in the beauty of the music was a real treat. Thank you.
Another bearable day because you did another video and another tale. Thanks
I've seen your unmistakeble presence on many stages with many people. And I happened on this video by accident. I am so glad I did, because I can tell that you're a hell of a guy and more power to you. You're a great example for anyone to follow of proffessional musicianship.
Linda Ronstadt is a true legend. And so is Aaron Neville. Whenever I hear this song I always cry. Because it reminds me of me and my first wife, Debbie. We would have been married 26 years this past 15th. She died 9 years ago on the 25th of this month. We always had this big plan to grow old together. But she was suffering from asthma so bad that God took her and relieved her of her suffering. Thank you for posting this, Leland. Another thing about Linda. I remember watching The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. He had on Linda, Emmylou Harris, and Dolly Parton. They had just released the Trios album. You were part of the backing band for them. Linda introduced the band members. And when she got to you, she called you The Human Furball. I thought that was funny. Miss her great voice.
Sorry about Debbie, Martin. Hope your'e well.
Martin Jones So glad you found the love of your life and you had the time together you did. Listen to Ms. Ronstadt's collaboration on Chesapeake's "Bed of Roses" with Mooni Klein. I think of a couple like yours when I listen to that song
(Btw, just CZcamsd that Carson episode last week!).
Always a pleasure viewing and listening!Bob Mann a Toronto legend!Linda Ronstadt a universal treasure!Stay safe and well!
I love hearing Linda's sweet voice sing the lyrics of Carmelita. I just played some original Linda records on my turnable and she sounds so amazing...
You are just a "Good Soul" Mr. Sklar. Thanks for these videos. What it must have been like to be with these artists creating these Classic songs.
Linda Ronstadt is awesome. Thanks for this video
We are all incredibly blessed having you and taking the time to sit down and reflect upon beloved musicians, friends and collegues every day. Your channel has evolved into a treasure of the internet. Thanks for your wonderful commitment.
Great to see and hear from you !!!
I enjoy watching Leland enjoy the music so much. You can see how it affects his spirit. It's wonderful to watch.
♡♡♡♡♡
Linda's voice is just a treasure. So strong and pure!
''Twas ever thus! Leland is the embodiment of Mr. Natural, my favorite R. Crumb character!
Love your stories about Linda Ronstadt. She's the absolute best female singer/performer in my lifetime and an inspiration on so many levels. I miss her voice and wish her all the best.
Just got home from work Mr. Sklar- your videos are an oasis in what has been a desert of crap lately. Thank you sincerely. I can’t believe how much information you’ve retained . Linda is amazing.
l love Le Land Sklar and I love Linda Rondstadt. LeLand is also an American Treasure.
Thanks, Leland. What great stories. Linda IS an International Treasure... and so are YOU!
Lee you are officially a CZcams sensation!
I probably own every album you, Danny or Russ ever played on. It was the first thing I looked for when I bought an album. You are the best. Thanks for years of great music.
Absolutely. If they were on it I bought it!
Leland, the best thing you can do - even more than “professional” critics, is completely ignore all comments. I’ve followed you for at least 40 years, and you’ve helped shape the American music scene - West coast in particular. I feel like I’m sitting down with one of my studio heroes. Please keep up the stories.
Couldn't agree more!
We are absolutely living Groundhog Day. Thanks for all you are sharing. As great as you are as a musician your story telling chops are just as amazing.
A fabulous song which stands the test of time. Thanks for the stories around it.
Lee touched on something sadly lacking in the music world these days. Album covers and liner notes informed my generation, so I know many of his peers and remember their names, as well as the headliner of the album.
Played on over 2,600 albums... ! Amazing! I discovered you through Phil Collins but I then realized that without knowing it, I have several albums that you played on other then Collins. So many different styles of music and still you mastered all of them. The trademark of a true great musician. Last few weeks I have been watching most of videos and I’m discovering so much about you and your work. Thanks Leland, wish there where more of your kind around.
Linda - the greatest vocalist and performer of all times. Thank you!
Thanks Leland from a huge Linda Ronstadt fan!Your appreciation of her really touched me X
Honest to G-d, I'm not sure what I would prefer, the music or the stories. As a bassist, to be able to slow the video down, study the notes, and try and figure out why you made the choices you did, how you put the notes together, and everything else you did is... I could never afford to pay what they're worth.
As a student of music, it's people, genres, and history, hearing the stories is as priceless as listening to a WWII Marine talk about fighting in the Pacific. We get to hear the names and learn the history of the songs that play in our life's soundtrack.
Thank you for both.
Well said !!!
I can learn about bass just by watching Lee listening to music,
G-d....you mean God
@@jshook5151 I wrote what I meant
@@thecollective1584 And you wrote it perfectly!
One of your best vid’s!! Love your playing, but LOVE the backstories you tell!
Best example is the story you told about getting your que from hearing Linda’s breath.
Thats freakin’ awesome!!
Thats a story we would probably never have heard if you didn’t start this channel.
Keep up the great work Mr. Sklar and stay safe!
👍😎👍
I love her. My favorite, first above all other pop singers. But she was so much more than just a pop singer. Thanks for discussing her, and your work.
Glad to hear that Linda is doing okay. Her inability to sing the way she used to is very sad. Her recordings will always be treasured.
Every time I hear her - and it is often - I become more amazed at her talent!
I don't claim to know all about music but I know the beauty of Linda Ronstadt's voice and amazing talent. Thank you Linda for all the wonderful music you have given the world. We are thinking of you. Love you.
She is unable to sing at all because of Parkinson's Disease.
Craig Gomez well, that’s an unthoughtful thing to say. Criticisms of Linda’s singing may be offered, for sure, but a comment like “she can’t sing at all” merely ensures no one will take what you say seriously.
Luke oh, thank you for correcting me! Apologies to Craig Gomez. Yes, unfortunate indeed about her current condition. At least we have so many years of great recordings to listen to. Best wishes to her.
Thank you Leland for another wonderful and fascinating talk. I’m so glad that you brought Linda Ronstadt into your stories. I have been a fan of hers for many years. She and I actually share the same birthday so in an odd way that makes me feel even closer to her music. Like you I am so sad that she has been affected by Parkinson’s as it has robbed her of her singing voice. Please wish her well when you next speak to her.
as I wrote elsewhere, the Wrecking Crew I'm sure inspired you and your generation that took the torch, become so integral in the music of our lives............you, Lee, Grolnick, Keltner, Gadd, Breckers, Sanborn, Will Lee, Tony Levin, Muscle Shoals, Dean Park, Larry Carlton, Waddy, Danny Kootch, and on and on.........Many must have been like me; going out and buying new LP's at that time, and as the albums contained lyrics and personnel, and as you open a JT album, Jackson (Lindley et. al), Linda, Phoebe, and up popped your name and the Porcaros and all, it was like a bunch of friends getting together again, taking your place on our shelves and turntables........we owe you all so much
The loveliest thing about these are the effortless charm, kindness and love shown by a true professional who has nothing left to prove for his peers. You are a kind, decent man who has given so much joy that we cannot possibly repay you.
Good evening everyone who wants a moment of peace and rest after a hot day...Thanks dear Leland.
I saw Linda in concert at Universal Studio’s maybe 15 or so years ago, she has a golden voice! It was an enchanting night and she was so generous and personable with her audience.
"Giving the piano a colonoscopy ..."! I admit to howling with laughter when I heard you say that! I have seen studios with 9-foot concert grand Steinways where they have piano so muffled with blankets and so on that a prison escapee fro Alcatraz couldn't get out of that piano! I've also done some recording engineering and that is one of my biggest frustrations - someone who wants to take a perfectly lovely natural sound and make in into a completely electronic sound! Excellent observation!
(Later) Wonderful commentary on Linda Ronstadt! She is my all time favorite female singer of all time! Wonderful to know you had a good had in what she did!
I loved all the back story. Please keep it coming. Your a bright star upon the day of many, especially in dim times. Keep those fingers safe gardening in the back yard!
Absolutely loved this. As a amateur musician I often play along to music and imagine what it was like to be there when a song was recorded or performed. I just watched someone replaying their memories of actually being there. Wonderful and thank you for sharing as always. Best wishes from Manchester, UK.
When you speak to Linda, please tell her there are those that love her still.. me included.. and I wish her the best. Thank you and you have a great channel.
Hearing "You're No Good" always takes me back to a tiny little 9 volt-transistor radio... and the chills. Thanks for today's post. Looking forward to more bass =]
I play that song a lot on my phone- amazing 😊💜🇦🇺
That brought tears to my eyes. I had no idea that she is stricken with such a debilitation. The world has been deprived of a talent without equal. God bless you sir and may God be with Linda as well.
Happy to have bumped into your channel. Turning 70 this year! Linda was a bright star in my limited music appreciation back in the 70's. Sad that she can no longer belt it out like she used to. Give her love from all of us. Thanks for the memories you share.
We love you, Lee. You, sir, are a good man.
Linda is a personal favorite of mine. Thanks for this and the stories. You posts are something I look forward to every day. Take care and all the best to Linda when you talk to her.
Leland, Larry (Byrom) and I love you and you are a national treasure. Thank you for all you do.
My brother took me to my first Linda Ronstadt concert in Toronto in 1976. Blew my mind and have been following her and the amazing band members since. Thanks for sharing all of these great memories!
You’re the person we need in these times. Thank you, brother.
Again, thank you, Lee. Your recollections are a treasure, and need to be recorded. That album (Cry Like A Rainstorm, Howl Like The Wind) was an absolute masterpiece...not at all shocked to hear of your involvement. Please keep it up after COVID has passed...
What a lovely episode this was. Thanks to you, I’m reminded all these great songs and artists I haven’t listened to for decades. So fun to hear your music industry insider stories. Thanks a million Mr. Sklar. 🖕🏼
I love Miss Linda!! You’re right, she is an American treasure.
I think Carly Simon and Harry Nilsson were the only artists to do an album of standards before Linda Ronstadt. thank you for these Leland I love them everyday. respect and love. stay safe. lovely song.
Thank you. Your oral history is invaluable.
Thanks for doing this one for Linda. I hope you got to talk to her. Have a great night, I'll be watching tomorrow.
I've been of fan of both yourself, and Ms. Ronstadt for a lot of years (I'm a pretty old duck!). It's great that after all the years, you still have a love for music!
Thank you Leland. Excellent.
If you can tell us some stories about the "Trio" recording sessions with Linda, Dolly and Emmy Lou...we would be very appreciative : )
That's an amazing recording. Their voices are so beautiful together. I remember reading that you played a fretless bass on some tracks.
Brilliant song. Love that duet. Unknownst to me, you appear on all my favourite songs. Please keep posting these videos after this Lockdown passes... Even if it has to be be less frequent.. videos from the road would be amazing. We are so lucky to have your insights. Pure gold.. .thanks so much from a wet and stormy Ireland...by the way, your yard would win at the Chelsea flower show.. spectacular..🇮🇪
I love Linda so much. She's been my crush since mid 70s. Thanks for these special gifts.
Mr. Sklar, you too are an American treasure! Thanks for your music and generosity.
I have appreciated your art for many years. I must say, I truly enjoy this channel and your willingness to share such cool stories and memories. In these troubled times, your kindness and spirit are like a cool salve on a soul rubbed raw. I also gain a greater appreciation for each song you share. Thanks for the relief.
Absolutely gorgeous voice. Wish Linda all the best from all your pals on the channel! Take Care Lee. 💚🎸💛
Riding out the pandemic on a farm on a hill on an island in the Galapagos Islands, with the slowest internet connection possible, Leland Sklar's CZcams posts are definitely the highlight of the day, a needed bit of peace in the middle of all that could go wrong.
I was fortunate enough to see Linda Ronstadt perform live on two occasions. She was terrific. Also, there were times when I would hear a new song played on the radio that I thought was pretty good, then Linda would come in singing background vocals and raise the song up to a new level.
Thank you Leland. Having you as a storyteller is memorizing. Just understanding the intimate backgrounds of singers and your inclusion within their songs in history known only to yourself. Your inclusion of live bass to a song is fantastic, I'm loving your technique and fluidicy, but its not always necessary. Again, thankyou for sharing.👍👍🇦🇺
You too are a remarkable remarkable human being and artist.
Thank you Lee for giving us a window into the world that provided the soundtrack to our generation’s lives. It’s fascinating and much appreciated.
Ditto Rob Houghton's comment, A treasure you are. Learning so much from you, it's really just crazy. Without your channel the only possible way to learn what I have from you would've been to be you! Technology is a miracle in this sense. You sir are also a miracle, in every sense. Thank you so much.
Your videos are the best, Leland!
"Piano colonoscopy" made me laugh.
Thank you for the stories and the duet with Ronstadt and Neville, the most beautiful duet ever. I opened for RONAN at the Golden Bear in Hunington Beach, you guys kicked ass! JD Souther was there, it was a magical night for me, I'll never forget it.
This was great! My first time to your page. This post alone is worth subscribing 😁. Linda - a world treasure!
Back in the late '70s/early 80's I played in several trios that did a lot of country club / lounge gigs. Without a doubt, the most requested songs we did were Linda Ronstadt songs - Blue Bayou, You're No Good, When Will I Be Loved, and more. The public really appreciated Linda, and it's really nice to hear this tribute to her. Thanks for this Leland!
Thanks for name checking Buck Herring! That piano room for Annie sounded beautiful! Also for opening up about that difficult session. I've been on a couple that were a psychological root canal. :-)
I had all her albums and used to tried copy her and sing along. Saw her a couple of timees in NJ and MSG back in th mid 70's and once in Tucson. She is a gifted goddess of song.
Linda Ronstadt is one of my personal idols. She could sing anything, but I remember her rock n' roll days. My older sister used to play her records when I was very little and those memories stuck with me. I grew up and became a singer myself, and her influence has stuck with me today. But as much as I love her big hits from the 70s, it's the lush, gorgeous, jazzy arrangements I love today. It's a real treat to hear your thoughts on her career and your work with her. What an incredible experience that must have been!
We were working at Sounds on Sunset when we had to leave, even though we had paid for the time and under deadline....because her people needed our vox box.
We were pissed off....after.... they were very kind and spoke to Authur, our guy at Polydor, and got us an extra 3 weeks...and then they bought us a meal at the Green Iguana in Venice, next to my Apt.
I did not meet her, We ate with Don and Barry or Gary and a few others.
Good day.
Glad to see your post about her.
I listened to Joe Smith's recording of Linda speaking about music (was in the mid-80's) and it was such a joy to hear her - just talk!
Thanks for being a great story teller about the people you have worked with through out your musical career. These are stories that average Joe would never hear if it were not for you. And there are a lot of fans out here of Linda Ronstadt who wish her the very best each and everyday of her life.
It's always great to watch someone "Experience" Music as a "Gift" and one of Life's "Pleasures"...Thank you
Hi Lee, Rob here from the Netherlands. I'm following your youtube channel from the start and it's such a joy listening to the music and your stories, thanks for that. You've been in my life from the early seventies as I'm really a fan of James Taylor and Jackson Browne amongst others, following you since. Please keep posting even if this pandemic will end, it's such a joy.
Regards, Rob
Seeing Linda in the 70's was a spiritual experience. She was glorious on stage, and GORGEOUS and HOT as a firecracker! All us "young kids" were in love with her...then, THAT VOICE!!!!
And we were at THIS VERY SHOW...she was fantastic, and THIS song...still love it!
czcams.com/video/9EL-lJQ2DHQ/video.html
Saw her in the 70's, I think at Day on the Green, Oakland Coliseum 78', Loved her rendition of That'll be the Day--that deep solid voice!
Yeah, remember the papers had a field day with her and Governor Brown vacationing together. They were both single.
Jason Lee Thanks for the link and sharing your memory. Never saw her live and appreciate the descriptions of her performances from those that did.
Beautiful song by Linda and Aaron. Thank you so very much for sharing your music and memories.
Thanks very much for the stories, Lee. I love them! Linda Ronstadt 's voice has always blown me away! Much love to the doggies
