Linda does such a great version of this Smokey Robinson song. She is one of the best female singers & can sing any genre from ballads to country to rock & even opera. She has had so many hits such as "Different Drum", "Blue Bayou", "Long Long Time", "You're No Good", "Poor Poor Pitiful Me" 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. Linda also collaborated with Dolly Parton & Emmylou Harris on a few "Trio" albums.
Linda Ronstadt was one of the first female rock stars. She had a long and iconic career. Throughout it all, she maintained her dignity devoid of heavy drugs which were prevalent at the time. In her career, she had multiple platinum, multi-platinum and gold songs and albums.
I was 20 when this was recorded. By that time I was already in love with Linda, along with almost every other man. Willie Nelson was correct when he said, "There are 2 kinds of men in this world... Those who have a crush on Linda Ronstadt and those who have never heard of her."
This song was first recorded by Motowns Smkey Robinson and the Miracles, Linda had an opportunity to sing the song live with the person who co-wrote the sang, Smokey Robinson.
“The Tracks of My Tears” was written in 1965 by William “Smokey” Robinson, Jr., Warren Moore and Marv Tarplin, three members of the Miracles. The group recorded it in Studio A of Motown's Hitsville USA facility, with the Miracles' lead singer, Smokey Robinson, as producer. Released on Motown's Tamla label (catalogue number T-54118) the record made it to No. 2 in the “Billboard” R&B charts (and No. 3 in “Cash Box”) and also crossed over into the pop charts where it reached No. 16 in both the “Billboard” and “Cashbox” Top 100.
She is just as remarkable live as on a studio recording. Her voice is pure, her range incredible, and her delivery conveys pure emotion . She can mesmerize an audience. Desperado live in Atlanta 1977 is a classic example.
Linda Ronstadt is one of the most iconic female singers of our time. Her catalog is varied and very eclectic. I love her mariachi music. She’s the best. PERIOD! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My all time favorote female singer of all time. Period. She was the Queen of the 70s female singers in my opinion. She could sing any genre of music. .
Linda learned to sing in Spanish so she could dedicate an album to her grandfather. You should check out Linda Ronstadt and Mariachi Vargas - La Charreada Her voice is stunning in any language.
In SUMMER OF 1977 I followed Linda Ronstadt 5 NEW ENGLAND STATES in the USA and saw 6 Concert with her. I went by myself or with friends or that's summer made friends. She is simply amazing I've seen her over at 17 times. Please keep up the great work❤
Linda Ronstadt is NOT just another singer. She has the most incredible voice and could sing everything from country rock, to the great American songbook, Mariacchi music and opera. I miss her voice.
Linda was the it girl of the '70s. This cover of Smokey Robinson's Motown hit is just one of a long list of Linda Ronstadt hits. She also sang Latin, Big Band, and light opera.
You did react to one of her songs she did in Spanish a year ago called La Charreada , so yeah you have heard of her. You do need to dig deeper into her music, huge catalog.
You need to react to Linda singing Down So Low Live in Germany 1976. She could sing anything Counrty, Rock, Spanish and Ballads. With a deep dive into her songbook you will be amazed.
Linda Ronstadt is the very best of the best! The most beautiful voice on the planet imo. I highly recommend her live version of “Down So Low”. It’s amazing and extremely soulful. You probably have heard this song which was originally done by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. Great choice🌸✌️
Linda and James Ingram (who’s also yummy) sang the main song from the cartoon movie An American Tail in the mid 80s. Always my favorite of hers probably because I was a kid when it came out. I believe it won Grammy Awards also.
She is of hispanic descent, i believe on her mother's side, and she is very much bilingual. I have only heard a few selections from her Hispanic catalogue, but she was a member of the band "Stone Ponies" and she had a major solo career, plus she even did a tv version of the Pirates of Penzance. She is currently retired due to health issues, and I wish her the best. At least we have a mountain of music to look back on.
@@ericzeichert511 Linda was also on Broadway 🎭 starting in the Pirates of Penzance , Linda has a form of Parkinson's disease PSP,which literally robbed her of her voice , my bad, she also sang with the Nelson riddle band popular songs from the 40s in the 50s aka big band , grandfather Fred ronstadt also was credited for starting the first Orchestra in Tucson so Gilbert and Sullivan was a natural for her
Great song an all time favorite of mine. Actually a cover originally by Smokey Robinson. Linda and Dusty Springfield, i suggest reacting to her also are noted for doing covers as good or as better than the original. Dusty was from the UK in the rock and roll hall of Fame as Linda. Linda is one of the greatest singers ever.
Linda is my favorite singer of all time, male or female, but unfortunately she had to stop because of her illness. She is certainly the most versatile, with the possible exception of Floor Jansen, of any vocalist I've ever listened to and I'm 71 years old. She has sang, Country, Country/Rock, Rock, Pop, R&B, Disney-type music, has played on Broadway in a Classical Operetta and then was also in the movie version of the same, called, 'Pirates of Penzance'. She has also performed 3 albums worth of Great American Standard/Big Band/Swing music and then another 3 albums of Traditional Mexican music. She has done collaborations with James Ingram, Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris and many, many others. Did she have the highest range? No, but it was pretty darn high and she could belt like a lot of female singers could only hope for and the purity of her vocals on many of her ballads could make you cry. I've been a fan since the late 1960's and have somewhere close to 20 of her albums. My favorite ballad sung by her is the song, "Faithless Love" written by her one time boyfriend, J.D. Souther and my favorite American Standard sang by her is "What's New" with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra. Other than that I can truthfully say that my favorite Linda Ronstadt song is whichever one I heard last. Great job young lady. Keep bringing us some Linda from time to time. Thank you.
Too bad you are not listing to more country. You listened to just a few and then stopped. I think you could be popular listening to country. If you do, try Martina McBride since you seem to like beautiful female voices. If you listen to Martina, I suggest finding a good live performance from her but her videos are good as well. Reba McEntire is great as well and her live performances are also great.

50 years later; I've still have a crush on Linda.
Me too.

You're honest reaction is all that
is needed
She also sings in Spanish, honoring her part Mexican roots.

Been lucky to see Linda Ronstadt Live in concert. She was Great.👍
Linda Ronstadt is NOT just another singer. She has the most incredible voice and could sing everything from country rock, to the great American songbook, Mariacchi music and opera. I miss her voice.
She was the first woman to fill stadiums and the first double platinum. She's simply the best.
The greatest most versatile female vocalist of her generation.
One of the best pure voices in pop music history. Everything she's done is amazing.
Linda was the it girl of the '70s. This cover of Smokey Robinson's Motown hit is just one of a long list of Linda Ronstadt hits. She also sang Latin, Big Band, and light opera.
An american treasure. Truly a generational voice/talent.
I fall in love with her all over again when she shrugs her shoulders at the end
This is a song written and sung by Smokey Robinson originally. She has many hits, a great one is Down So Low & Desperado live versions just amazing.
You did react to one of her songs she did in Spanish a year ago called La Charreada , so yeah you have heard of her. You do need to dig deeper into her music, huge catalog.
Beautiful vocals. Very melancholy lyrics.
"Desperado"!
Love Linda Ronstadt's voice. I grew up listening to her music. My favorite was Blue Bayou. Check it out. Great reaction. Billy Boy

Johnny Rivers also had a HUGE hit with this song
Check out the live duet - the legendary Smokey Robinson with Linda Ronstadt singing his Ooh Baby Baby and Tracks of My Tears ❤❤❤❤❤ Motown 25 - 1983
Linda and James Ingram (who’s also yummy) sang the main song from the cartoon movie An American Tail in the mid 80s. Always my favorite of hers probably because I was a kid when it came out. I believe it won Grammy Awards also.
Desperado is a must listen.
These songs are popular with blue colar latinos in the southwest, also the song oh baby baby, among others 60s songs
Everyone must be completely quiet until the engineer tells them to act normal.
Down so low live from Germany 1976 by linda
She is of hispanic descent, i believe on her mother's side, and she is very much bilingual.

Hispanic on her father's side. Her grandmother, great grandmother, etc..
@@randyventresca4152 caveat: her father, also had German ancestry, the Ronstadt, ancestry goes back many generations in old Mexico 🇲🇽 just saying !!

I love Linda's voice. I believe she was also responsible for getting Glenn Frey and Don Henley together to form the Eagles.
They were part of her band before they formed the Eagles.
Good version . I also like the Johnny Rivers version .

Please do HEATWAVE LIVE by Linda Rondstant next
Do a reaction video for sweet notes from the Philippines, you probably like it
Smoothie Robinson dong , great song, great version......
Please react to Dolla - Damelo(acoustic version).. hope you enjoy it🤗
is there like a massive fan running out of the camera view somewhere ?
You've done Linda before...La Charreada.
Re I don't know her
You reacted her Blue Bayou just 5 months ago????
1 TAKE. NO EXCUSES.
I hope you turned your mom to Linda.😀

The only singer I would ever rate above Angelina Jordan.
Please don't talk over the singer. You can stop the video if you want to say something, it would be better for all of us.
