Long overdue. Pure talent, unadorned beauty, generous to her band mates, sang what she wanted with pipes of glory. No one had her voice or vibe. Rare songbird that gave fame the middle finger when it bored her. It was the music that mattered.
i was not born wnen she started singing,but i have found her now and love her,wish i could have been around her back in the day,god bless you linda take care.
Pipes of power and tenderness. She is so deeply beloved - kind of rare. She had one writer, Dave Marsh, who trashed her always. In fact when he edited a reference book that praised Ronstadt he changed the reviews of others to demean her. I think he was Springsteen's Cabana Boy and they gave him a job at some magazine. Nowadays he is forgotten - she is a deeper icon than ever.
@@waynerhodes4806 He is/ was grotesque. Basically skilled at telling tone-deaf lonely suburban white boys how to jerk-off to music. Stunning that he was given any clout - definitely Springsteen's cabana boy.
Grit, beauty, intelligence, generosity, determination, vision, standards, talent, heart, and individuality. Linda Ronstadt is a beautiful example of a near-perfect human.
The crime is that she had to wait until 2014. She was first eligible in 1999. Thank God that Glenn was still around to induct her. It was great to see her contemporaries give her a voice although she actually preceded and, as Nicks said, inspired them.
"You're No Good" is just as strong to me today as it was when it was released. I don't know why it took the Hall so damned long. This woman sang it all. Country , rock, soul, the standards, and songs honoring her native tongue. She didn't just sing 'em. She mastered 'em She is the best female voice of the modern music era because sbe could do it all.
They tried to induct her before and she didn't want to be associated with rock & roll. She was going through something at that time, I guess. This was in the late '90s.
Linda's command of her voice, her control of her excellent versatility will never be matched by any other singer, ever. Linda always gave all of her very best. She was sincere; never insulted her audience or her fans. Never. She performed at peak at her every appearance. She sang what she meant and she meant what and how she sang.
Beautiful lady, with such grace has been dealt a terrible disease and still has so many fans. That's a true artist❤❤❤ History will never forget that name. Tracks of my tears, one of my favorites.
Linda Rondstadt has a one-of-a-kind voice and Parkinson's Disease has silenced her voice forever. I had many of Linda's albums on vinyl. Linda and I are the same age (73) and I pray that she can enjoy some comfort for the balance of her life. Linda, I have loved you for over 50 years and I will continue to do so until we both pass from this world. Thank you for the video of her RRHOF induction; it should have come much sooner than 2014.
I absolutely love Linda Ronstadt, I love her tough exterior, her beautiful voice, her unbelievable cuteness, her generous spirit, her amazing ear for talent to know true artistry when she reads or hears it, she’s a giant in the industry, how could I not be in love with all that? God bless you Linda
When I was growing up in the seventies, one of my sisters was a big fan of Linda's. I didn't really appreciate how awesome she was. She's a legend. She finally got in the HOF. Way overdue.
A remarkable set of gorgeous pipes attached to an utterly delicious human being. Rock and Roll was lucky to have her when it did - before she took that voice elsewhere.
She took her music in a direction that was part of her upbringing. Can't fault her for that. It would have been nice to be able to hear more great hits, but at least she didn't pull a Cat Stevens. (Which was his right to do). I hope they are both happy with the choices they've made.
Linda Ronstadt is hands down one of my top 3 fave female singers of all time. She's done it all and is so humble about her talent! She came up when there was no such thing as autotune! You either had perfect pitch or you didn't! Most women singers by comparison can't carry a tune in a bucket!!!
The lost art of interpretation. Every note was her own story. Often the only girl on the road - back when... A sublime vocalist - made boys and grown men ...cry. The Hall of Fame hardly deserves her beauty.
Her speaking voice is very different to her singing voice. When she is speaking she sounded like little girl just wanting to play dolls and eat candies but as soon as she opens her mouth to sing, she transforms into another persona and that voice soars so high bringing good music to our ears. What a great singer. A legend.
A grand and glorious vocalist. When she felt like belting out a rock tune or torch ballad no one could touch her power and emotion. People still make up stuff about Linda.
Shes the BEST ! What a doll, what a voice, what a face !! I danced to one of her songs on my wedding day. God Bless you Linda ! We all love you. Yuh ou will be able to sing again someday as beautifully as you always had. I cant wait till that day when were all together listening to outstanding voice !
Linda is and will always be one of the greatest voices of generations, Pure Authentic Talent the ultimate crossover artist it didn't matter what genre it was she could sing it all and did!!! she could take you place with a song like no other artist. More often than not her version of a song was better than the original. Always the Best of the Best!!!!
I have commented this before that many non-rock and roll artists (Madonna, Prince, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackso etc.) that were inducted had no business in this award. I even expressed my attitude towards it. I am very appalled that many of them were given the ward while many rock and roll artists (Megadeth, Alice in Chains, Pantera etc) are not. But Linda Ronstadt is, in my opinion, an exception and even though her roots is country music, she was one of the pioneers of the Country and Rock subgenre the Southern Rock plus she can't be put in only one genre of music. She did a bit of everything from Country Music to the Hippy Rock Psychedelic Music to Pop to Love songs to Rock and Roll to Folk Music to Classical and in between.
Glorious pipes, generous in a dirty rotten business- the rrhf is not worthy of Ronstadt's natural unpretentious charms. Queen of her scene without hardly trying. The other girls bore me to tears.
You are right. You don't stop to live, you don't stop to die. You do the thing that makes you - you! It is a gift from God. Great talent, great woman, focused, and the world was her footstool. Linda, You are loved!
Linda Ronstadt my girl she opened up so many genres of music for me when I was 13 years old I discovered her music I loved her ever since she is as beautiful soul God Bless her :)
As fate would have it I work so close to the Troubadour you can spit. Grew up with Linda & the Eagles and I'm in awe knowing here is where it all started. Thanks to Linda I know a little sound of Heaven must be like.
I'd have to say no good is my favorite song of hers.k love them all but no good I just love the way it sounds and her performance on midnight special is the best..just hope she was watching the R.R.H.F. to see all those rock legends singing her songs ..that would be an honor to do.sad she can no longer sing I'd love to hear her one last time
What a shame that all the audience are elites and their children who have no idea what the Eagles is all about. Love and respect to the great late Glen Frey for his courage. RIP
Rock, country, big band, new wave and even Ranchera... when I heard her singing in Spanish I thought, “There is no way she does NOT speak Spanish!!!” The voice and passion is there to make men cry...
It be great to interview Linda Ronstandt over radio; never too late to emphasise the success in career a look back and encouraging her to write songs and inspire others in the music field. - thats my goal and what a privilidge it would be
I can't help it, I will forever see her in my mind ans Maybelle from the Pirates of Penzance. I had heard her before that of course but had never seen her until I saw the movie.
Aretha Franklin is okay but Linda Ronstadt should have been the first solo female artist inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Somebody dropped the ball denying Linda's induction until 2014. She could sing any style or any genre. Whether originals or covers Linda made any and every song her own. The only other singer who was a match for her brilliance was the late great Patsy Cline. Linda's voice is stilled now but it will never be gone. Thank you Linda for sharing your gift with us.
The RRHOF is an absolute joke ! But even sometimes an idiot does something right. Linda was a goddess in her time. Looks, sexy, sweet, down to earth and a singer like no other.
Linda is greater than any Mickey Mouse hall of fame~!! She was every man's lover on vinyl and could break your heart with her pure voice in song. There is no God cause if there were he would have spared her from this horrible disease after she brought so many wonderful memories to so many people for over 50 yrs. We have loved you Linda for our lifetimes.
Quite possibly and LIKELY one of, if not THE BEST white female vocalists ever. Of all time. Factor in her passion, instant likability and the fact she was such s sincere vocalist???!!!

Truly disgraceful that this amazing female voice was not inducted until 2014!!! Heartbreaking
What a heart felt tribute from Glen Frey, to Linda! Wish her all the best from all of her many fans!!
Linda's music has been a huge huge part of my life. I love her.
Grit, beauty, intelligence, generosity, determination, vision, standards, talent, heart, and individuality. Linda Ronstadt is a beautiful example of a near-perfect human.
No one had a voice as powerful, as rich or as tender. All these years later those pipes seem even more impressive. Unadorned and honest. Linda...sigh
There will never be another like Linda Rondstadt.
There are people as good as her right now.
Philip Wissbeck ummm..who? Swift? Perry? Pink? Uggghhh
@@philipwissbeck7243 BULLSHIT.
No, she is a one of a kind.
@@philipwissbeck7243 no
Linda Ronstadt....a great voice and it appears a great woman as well...thanks for all the pleasure you put in the world.

Classy lady ; A genuine singer with tremendous,
feeling in every song !
One of the best , really versatile , and the voice of an Angel .
They tried to induct her before and she didn't want to be associated with rock & roll. She was going through something at that time, I guess. This was in the late '90s.
It just dawned on me - she's my favorite female singer of all time. Ann Wilson is up there too.
Hey, they're my two, too.
Linda's command of her voice, her control of her excellent versatility will never be matched by any other singer, ever. Linda always gave all of her very best.

This just brought me to tears. Linda, when I get too old to dream, I’ll still dream of you. What took the RRHOF so long!!!!!

What a fantastic tribute from the Great Glen Frey R.I.P. to the amazingly talented Linda Ronstadt.
As beautiful as a flower garden and the voice unmatched by any female vocalist I have ever heard. The voice of an angel.
Thank you for your amazing music Linda forever grateful ❤️
Linda Ronstadt was born to sing...unmatch and imitated.
Linda Ronstadt - I love your authenticity and I wish I could belt it out like she did. One amazing singer - and such amazing songs
She has been a part of my life for over 40 years! I will always love her music. Miss you girl!
ABBA, ELO, The Eagles, Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Browne... the list goes on, but MAN the 70’s produced some epic music. Btw, RIP Ric Ocasek
Yes and I would like to add Gerry Rafferty~!
To this day it's very very hard to beat Linda's voice, one of the best female singers ever.
A remarkable set of gorgeous pipes attached to an utterly delicious human being. Rock and Roll was lucky to have her when it did - before she took that voice elsewhere.

Linda is the LAST OF THE GREATEST SINGERS. I miss her terribly.❤

I second that emotion~!!
She's so beautiful! Excellent Songbird, she had it all!
RIP Glenn Frey. It must have taken a lot for him to make this appearance and he did it all for Linda Ronstadt. Can't get a better friend than that.
ronstadtfanaz
I know you from the forum. :)
This was 2014. He died in early 2016
Fuck Frey ; He treated people like shit
@@WileECoyotey Ive heard that he did, Do you have any links you could share that would substanciate this ?
ronstadtfanaz huh? He was healthy then....

I always thought she was great. Easy to look at too. Those big eyes and that smile, man you just gotta love her.
Linda Ronstadt is what the Universe creates when it's showing off. ❤
I'm so happy Glenn got to induct her before he passed away. I know how much it meant to him that Linda be in the Hall.
Greatest chick singer evah! No vanity,remarkable pipes and great players. She brought us to a whole bunch of music.
Lester B Greatest indeed. She may never get the full respect she deserves cause she was so damn cute- it blinded a couple of sanctimonious critics.
ed: "Greatest singer evah". No qualifiers, no sexism required.
Umm Janis Joplin no just me ok
@@rickyboby560 Janis wasn't even in the same league as Linda. Not even close. Nobody could sing like Linda.
You're spot on!

Saw Linda 3X in concert. Her voice is magical and moves me like no other artist... Love you Linda!
I'm going back some day. Come what may. What a unbelievable singer.
So so happy to have seen her live many times. She ALWAYS was on point! A consummate artist!
Each song brings back memories .... and tho I love so many of them, my absolute favorite - "Love Has No Pride".
She is truly, perfection.
Every man's sweetheart. A real beauty. 😘

THE Best Female singer OF ALL TIME ! this Induction was well-overdue and more than well deserved! My Lifetime IDOL xoxo
She is so beautiful! "she gave herself to us in her giving us her music with 'beauty ,grace , and love" as The Eagle said
56 and how I’ve always loved Linda.
See the loving documentary "Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice" and you'll wonder why she hasn't yet received a Kennedy Center Honor.
She just did now at least. Too bad she can barely move though.
Yes, that's a wonderfful documentary.
Linda and Stevie Nicks were the fucking bomb of the 70's. Second was Heart, 3rd was Pat Benetar.
Benatar was a 1980's phenom. She didn't burst onto the scene with her first hit album & single until 1979.
You are right. You don't stop to live, you don't stop to die. You do the thing that makes you - you! It is a gift from God. Great talent, great woman, focused, and the world was her footstool. Linda, You are loved!
I remembering listening to her hits in the 1970's on my car cassette and on lp and loving them all.
Linda Ronstadt my girl she opened up so many genres of music for me when I was 13 years old I discovered her music I loved her ever since she is as beautiful soul God Bless her :)
Once Linda sang a song, it was HERS!
I love Glenn Frey so much and watching this made me tear up.
What a fantastic induction speech... Rest In Peace, Glenn, and thanks for everything
As fate would have it I work so close to the Troubadour you can spit. Grew up with Linda & the Eagles and I'm in awe knowing here is where it all started. Thanks to Linda I know a little sound of Heaven must be like.
The level of her talent vs today's pop singers is kinda similar to a cheetah racing Usain Bolt. So versatile, so talented, and is sorely missed.
National treasure
I'd have to say no good is my favorite song of hers.k love them all but no good I just love the way it sounds and her performance on midnight special is the best..just hope she was watching the R.R.H.F. to see all those rock legends singing her songs ..that would be an honor to do.sad she can no longer sing I'd love to hear her one last time
Beautiful lady, beautiful songs,& beautiful voice.
One of the purest voices that has ever lived.
ThE purest
she's a WONDER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what a great tribute to LR - RIP the awesome Glen Frey.
I love her voice but mostly the way she interprets (performs) what she's singing.
Long overdue.
Blue Print Exactly the sons of b... took so long for this.
she waited 20 damn years, those jackwads at the R+R Hall should be ashamed.
LINDA F*CKING RONSTADT!
‘NUFF SAID!
🎵🎶😜😍🥰👍👏
Your music is a true inspairation.I never. Had.a chance to meet you but l will always have Hobo Thanks.
The R&RHOF lost whatever little credibility it may have had when it inducted Madonna before Linda Ronstadt
It's maddening~!!!!
YES!
Amen to that!
Madonna can't sing a lick or compose a song, its dumb.
It's ridiculous that musicians from the 80's get inducted before top musicians from the 60's and 70's
ONE OF THE GREATEST SINGERS OF ALL TIME!!!! BEAUTIFUL VOICE!!!!
Real singing. No auto tune
❤️☮️
Such a legend. I still listen to her original vinyl. I'd pay to watch her lip sync to her old songs.
What a shame that all the audience are elites and their children who have no idea what the Eagles is all about. Love and respect to the great late Glen Frey for his courage. RIP
Her 1977 version of willin was the best ever . There will never be another who comes close.she was just spetacular.
Good. Linda, you deserve it! Beautiful voice!
There will Never be another Linda. Never!
Rock, country, big band, new wave and even Ranchera... when I heard her singing in Spanish I thought, “There is no way she does NOT speak Spanish!!!” The voice and passion is there to make men cry...
I love her her voice all her songs shes so amazing!
It be great to interview Linda Ronstandt over radio; never too late to emphasise the success in career a look back and encouraging her to write songs and inspire others in the music field. - thats my goal and what a privilidge it would be
Saw her in 1976 with the Eagles as her backup band....23 songs in her set....just amazing.....RRHOF is crap....saw her live....that’s enough.
Good job explaining Linda to those that are uninformed.
Glen Fry is sorely missed and Linda is and was phenomenal!
I can't help it, I will forever see her in my mind ans Maybelle from the Pirates of Penzance. I had heard her before that of course but had never seen her until I saw the movie.

Well always have 1 of the greatest voices of all time
Cause shes mexican, nobody would ever known that a mexican star will bring up the eagles, and rock in roll to another level
She's not even half but I get what you are saying especially with her great Mariachi Albums that her Father liked. She is an Angel for sure~!!
Her father is Mexican
@@dagothkid6372 Her grandfather was German, hence the surname Ronstadt.
Glen got chocked up a bit at the end there.. letting you know how much she means to him!!
The RRHOF is an absolute joke ! But even sometimes an idiot does something right. Linda was a goddess in her time. Looks, sexy, sweet, down to earth and a singer like no other.
Linda is greater than any Mickey Mouse hall of fame~!! She was every man's lover on vinyl and could break your heart with her pure voice in song.

God I miss Glen Fry💔. So sad he's gone, but so happy he inducted her!💕💕
they waited until after her parkinsons to elect her in ? what a joke !! she should have made it on her first year of eligibility
Her voice was BEAUTIFUL, But- her SMILE was (and, is) PRICELESS-!!!!!!! 😁👍✌️😀
I didn't notice this before. But,Glenn looked sick
Love ya Linda Ronstadt.
Your the best.
