    That is a double neck eight string steel guitar. My father played steel guitar in a western swing band after he returned from Germany at the end of WWll. He bought a Rickenbacker double neck eight string steel guitar in 1947. My father passed away in 2008, but I still have his 1947 Rickenbacker double neck steel guitar with its original case, metal finger picks, and slide. This instrument is used in a wide variety of music, including Hawaiian.

She has had so many hits such as "Different Drum", "Long, Long Time", "Don't Know Much", "Poor Poor Pitiful Me", "Desperado" etc. Ronstadt also did two great duets, "Somewhere Out There" (with James Ingram) & "Don't Know Much" (with Aaron Neville). The Eagles were her backing band till they went out on their own & she has covered a lot of their songs. You might also enjoy her collaborations with "Dolly Parton" & "Emmylou Harris". They did a few albums together called "Trio" in 1987 & 1999.

    Mentioning the Hollywood STAR of the THREE. Linda, Emmylou and Dolly. There is a video from THE DOLLY SHOW in the 70s with the three to react too...... It is from 76/77 video on RUclips with Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris. Song - The Sweetest Gift. It does seem like a Gospel song as they harmonize in Country/Gospel fashion.
    Dolly, Linda and Emmylou also had a top 20 hit with the cover of - "To Know Him is to Love him" in the 80s they released a Album. The 70s teaming up on the Dolly show probably inspired it.
    ON THE LATE SHOW in 1999 The TRIO teamed up again for a LIVE performance. It had also played and featured a GLASS HARMONICA that Benjamin Franklin invented..... video posted in low def song - After the Gold Rush from a new CD they put out together.
    The Trio also got together in 1977 and a LIVE video is on RUclips of them doing the song - AppleJack. .... the song was on one of Dolly's albums.
    EMMYLOU HARRIS found a home in Country from her original California Folk start to Country/Bluegrass. She is in the Country Hall of Fame and her rendition of - SWEET DREAMS is also awesome with a different tone to her voice than Patsy Cline. Also TOPOP here Live performance of - TOGETHER AGAIN is HD a ballad of course in traditional Country fashion.

    All her solo releases are pure gold, and then she teamed up with Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris in a group call Trio. That group is what got the star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Harmony just doesn't get better than that.

    Check out her incredible performance of blues track “Down so low”. The Germany live performance in 1976 is best.

    She had one of the most gorgeous voices ever. Her vocals were amazing! Loved her ❤ The instrument is typically used in country music. Roy Orbison was a country singer. I think of Linda as multi-genre with rock being the one I think of as primary for Linda. She has Mexican roots and did do a Latin album later in her career. She might have been the top selling female vocalist of the 1970’s, along with Barbra Streisand. I would recommend “You’re No Good”, a rock song and shows a different side of Linda.

    I love how you researched Linda beforehand because of her story and so you know how amazing she is.❤ You have to hear her song "Long, Long Time." It is my favorite by her and I love most of her songs, so that's saying alot about that song. Love your channel. ❤

    Linda has been a favorite of mine for years! Her Latin album is amazing. Her cover of Desperado is really good. I was fortunate enough to see her in concert in the early ‘80’s and she sounds as perfect in person as on her albums. She made two cd’s with Dolly Parton and EmmyLou Harris called “Trio” and “Trio II” heavenly harmonies 💙👵🏼✌🏼

    Beautiful song & a big hit back then. Great to see this live performance. High pitched sound and the "table guitar" you called it is widely used in country music & is called a steel guitar!❤ Nice to hear all the awards she won. I did not realize she had won 11 grammys! Wow!❤❤❤

    They probably share a star because they performed together as Trio off and on for decades. You should check out their cover of After the Gold Rush. It's on youtube. Plus you'll find out what a glass harmonica is.

    Linda Ronstadt was way too young to be stricken with this debilitating disease. It was so sad to hear her retirement announcement, but she was at the top of her game by this time, and could appreciate the sentiments of her audience. She sang beautifully in Spanish, honouring her father's traditional singing style.

    Aww Linda, what can I say? A beautiful human and super talented singer. She could sing anything! My recommendations,
    You're no good, live at the Midnight Special.
    I don't know much, duet with Aaron Neville. Live at the awards show.
    Somewhere out there, duet with James Ingram. Official video.

    Every time she wanted to do something new or different, her record company tried to dissuade her from changing direction, but she did it anyway…. And conquered everything she did …. Pop, rock, country, Latin , American standards, even opera….. I can’t think of many people than have done so much in so many different genres…..You’re no good, It’s so Easy, Poor, Poor Pitfull me, Different Drum, Get Closer….. enjoy Linda.

    Welcome to another wonderful and deep rabbit hole. You are in for a ride. I don’t think Linda wrote but sang up a storm. One of my favorites is “Alison” a cover of an Elvis Costello song (rabbit hole). I don’t think there’s a video but the album cover picture of her tying her roller skates will just have to do. ❤

    Both Don Henley and Glen Frey from the Eagles got their start singing backup for Linda. That instrument was a steel guitar. They were used a lot in the 1970s. There was a huge "Country Western" influence in pop music back then. I enjoyed seeing your reaction to one of my favorite ballads from that era. Thanks 🙂

    Linda was my first album cover crush, then hearing her voice just made me fall in love with her even more. Her first big hit was when she was with Stone Pony's singing "Different Drum", a song written by Mike Nesmith of the Monkees. She went out on her own doing hits like "You're No Good" and "Blue Bayou". No matter what genre of music she did, she was amazing.

    • @sitbone3
      @sitbone3 7 месяцев назад +1

      True. The producers of the Monkees TV show didn't think it sounded like a Monkees song and wouldn't let them record it for the show. So, Nesmith gave it to Linda.

    All the original Eagles were in Linda's band at various times in the early 70s and she helped get them together. They give her credit before this live performance where they sing together ruclips.net/video/flLoj5qxURw/видео.html

    In the 1970s, she was the queen of rock as an interpretive artist. Members of the Eagles were in her band in the early 1970s. The song snippet at the end was "Get Closer."
    The instrument is a pedal steel guitar.
    You need to listen to Roy Orbison, who originally sang this song. He had an amazing voice.

  • @wendyb9900

    Started off singing Mariachi songs at home growing up, but speaking English in school. She was the vocalist for the Stone Poneys and went solo after the group split. Ms Ronstadt was the Queen of Covers in the 70s and 80s. Her first Spanish language album "Canciones De Mi Padre" or "Songs of my father" is still the highest selling non-english music album selling over 2 million copies in the US within it first day of release. She did 3 albums with the late Nelson Riddle of American Standards. Ms Ronstadt was selling out arenas in the 70s unheard of by female artist. To learn more about her watch the documentary "Sound of My Voice" which chronicles her career from the beginning singing on her grandfather's hacienda outside of Tucson, AZ to her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
