You can thank Linda for the Eagles. They were originally studio musicians. They were backing her in the studio and she told them they were too good to just be studio musicians. The rest is history
Yes indeed! Did you see induction to the rock and roll Hall of Fame? Glenn Frye's speech was amazing.
@@karensilvera6694 no but I'll look it up. Thanks
That is false information. Don Henley and Glenn Frey were part of her touring band. At the end of that tour Don and Glenn decided to make their own band. Linda and her boyfriend JD Souther, helped them get musicians together that finally formed Eagles. It's very well documented there's an interview with Linda and an interview with Glenn Frey that says exactly that.
@@kurtsaxton823- I had always heard that Don Henley sang the male backup on the studio version of this song. Kinda looks like him in this video also. I guess I heard wrong info.
@@RogerThat1986 definitely not. This was a Roy Orbison song, that he was unable to make popular, other people tried as well. Linda killed it. Anyways, Linda's boyfriend at the time JD Souther was friends with Glenn Frey, in her Troubadour days. Don Henley was a Texas outsider. Glenn and Don hit it off while they were on tour with Linda because they were roommates. Linda and JD Souther had everything to do with the Eagles getting started. They introduced them to their future band mates. And fun fact, Linda actually recorded Desperado before Eagles. And of course Don Henley wrote it.
No computerized pitch correction, only pure talented singer's whose sales of their records went through the roof!
Linda's the GOAT!
Truth
Both in English and Spanish.
yah, no CGI either, all practical effects back then...... why do I have to read about no auto-tune for every older song? f-ing d'uh or what huh?
@@JuandeFucaUbecause so many are "remastered" and destroy the original subtlety of the original.
Who is Linda?
Probably the biggest rabbit hole you could ever delve into.
Linda has about a dozen Grammys, in almost as many genre's. She has a Tony and she shares a Chinese theatre star with Dolly and EmmyLou Harris. The 'TicketMaster' of the 70s dubbed her Female Performance Artist of the Decade".
Google her. Don't be afraid to go off into the odder genres because she rocks it. Mariachi, opera, country, rock, great American songbook, she does it all with ease.
@rittherugger160. • We shouldn't forget her duet with Aaron Neville, especially the "Live" television performance on Awards night!
She even performed in Pirates of Penzance, an opera, opposite Kevin Cline.
She was it. Linda could sing all the genres. Miss her dearly.
You said what I came to say. She was true vocalist, able to sing in any genre and make it work.
@@renatelewis538 Although she has been attacked with M S, she is still with us.
As Willie Nelson said, "There are two kinds of men in this world, those who have a crush on Linda Ronstadt and those who have never heard her." And now you have 🙂! She's a national treasure. It's country rock.
Pop technically and from origins rock
I heard he said, “There are two kinds of men in this world; those who are in love with Emmy Lou Harris, and those who have never met Emmy Lou Harris”
Willie Nelson " We all had a crush on Linda Ronstadt "
My brother was in love with her back in the day too
Can a crush last 50 years? Yup! Peace, love and bellbottoms from Canada.
Didn't they get caught in bed together back in the day? I read that somewhere a long time ago.
Well, in fairness, she was the hottest chick on the planet and I was 13 years old. Which while I'm pushing 60 now... yeah I still hold the same position on her
My dad was obsessed with her! Linda was HUGE.
She was the first American female musician to sell out arenas. And she could sing literally anything.
She could sing the phone book and it would be a gold record
She was Mabel in The Pirates of Penzance. That’s a difficult coloratura part.
No, it's NOT country... it's Linda Ronstadt. She was an incredible artist and songwriter.
She is a great singer, but Roy Orbison wrote this song - Blue Bayou.
Linda and Patsy Cline were great crossover artists. These were popular on Country and Top 40.
LIVE.. one take, no autotune... pure talent....
Linda Ronstadt an amazing American singer with many musical accolades including 11 Grammy Awards.
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Kennedy Center Honoree.
6 Platinum records, 5 of them consecutive.
The 7Os
Best selling female vocalist of the 70's
Ask ANY 70 year old guy who Linda Ronstadt is and they will half close their eyes, sigh, and smile before they answer...
Make that 60 year old...
I'm a 52 year old who made sure her kids knew about Linda Rondstadt, Bee Gees Eagles Bob Marley Dwight Yokum all kinds of jonras and Spanish also.
I saw her multiple times in the 70's . Seeing her sing this live is electric! She could make you cry, dance, and experience joy. It was all effortless for her! I still have a crush on her after all these decades.
I can atest to that ! Every young man dream girl
My first crush ❤
We didn’t think of genres then. There were so many crossover bands
Reactors obsess over genres for some reason.
@hd9700 That's right.
It was called “AM Radio” 😁
Ronstadt's music was a blend of pop, rock, country, folk and more, allowing her success across genres. I've always loved her music.
❤
"She has earned:
11 Grammy Awards,
three American Music Awards,
two Academy of Country Music awards,
an Emmy Award,
and an ALMA Award.
Many of her albums have been certified gold, platinum or multi-platinum in the United States and internationally.
She has also earned nominations for a:
Tony Award
and a Golden Globe award.
She was awarded the Latin Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award by the Latin Recording Academy in 2011
and also awarded the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award by the Recording Academy in 2016.
She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in April 2014.
On July 28, 2014, she was awarded the National Medal of Arts and Humanities.
In 2019, she received a star jointly with Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for their work as the group Trio.
Ronstadt was among five honorees who received the 2019 Kennedy Center Honors for lifetime artistic achievements"
She sold well over 100 million albums world wide.
Holeeee CRAAAAAAHHHHP!
Catch her performance in "The Pirates of Penzance" with Angela Lansbury, Kevin Kline, etc.
You need to hear Linda's collaborations with Emmy Lou Harris and Dolly Parton. Harmonies to die for.
And Aaron Neville
Absolutely! ❤
The Trio!
IT'S A MUST 🤗🤗🤗
Linda Ronstadt and Aaron Neville song
👇
DON'T KNOW MUCH....🔥🔥🔥💥
One of the best duets, ever!
Yes!
YES!!! ❤
I LOVE that one !
YES!!!
Linda owned the 70’s! I don’t think you’ll find a song of hers that will disappoint you. She’s sick now and can no longer sing but I saw her live back in the day and a purer, clearer voice you can’t find! Better than the recordings!
I saw her one time in Cincinnati. Listen to When will I Be Loved
It amazes me constantly that no one knows who Linda Ronstadt is. Absolutely amazing talent.
Blue Bayou was originally done by Roy Orbison. If you are feeling homesick for Colorado, that's exactly what her song "Colorado" is about. It was released as a single in 1973 and the B-side was “Desperado”.
I must listen to Roy’s version 😊
@@boomersoonerbaby3466 There are other versions by him, but this is the original from 1963.
ruclips.net/video/kri4VH_Mdd4/видео.html
Linda Ronstadt is very likely the greatest female vocalist of the 20th century. She can sing everything from rock to country to opera to cultural Mexico! She's incredible. You should hear her in Pirates and Penzance!
Love her! Too bad she can’t sing now 😢
This is my favorite singer ever!!!!
Her Spanish album is so so so so so good!!!!
“Spanish is for singing, English is for speaking” - Linda
You should react to “Los Laureles” by Linda Ronstadt
She's an amazing singer in any language. I love that whole album too, but think BP should consider La Calandria - fun to know... she doesn't speak Spanish at all.
La Cigarra, Live. She holds that one note so long! It's unbelievable!
Canciones De MI Padre...fantastic show I saw her do in NYC...bought the cassette ( at the time) and when my Mexican sister-in- law heard she went out and bought it for her mother. She sang as if she was fluent in Spanish never spoke it. She dated California gov for years...Brown? Forgot his 1st name...
Would like to see your reaction to Linda's version of Los Laureles.It's in Spanish but I know your ears won't give a damn.Your ears will thank you.
aren't French, Spanish and Italian called the romance languages?
Linda is a legend. She can sing anything and has. Broadway, opera, Spanish language, Standards. Check out Long, Long Time and Desperado.
Linda Ronstadt is part of my childhood. You're No Good, Tracks of My Tears, Long Long Time, When Will I be Loved and many, many more! This is just the tip of a very large glacier! You owe it to yourself to keep listening.
Same. Growing up, my sister and I just about wore out my mom's Linda Ronstadt Greatist Hits record. The best memories of the three of us just singing along together. ❤
Why does she have to fit into any genre except a fabulous, beautiful lady who is friendly, kind and tremendously talented who gave us so much happiness and should be always thought of that way.
The greatest most versatile female vocalist of her generation.
You've got to hear Linda singing "You're No Good", she just belts that one out with all that power. And it's great!
Linda can sing about Anything!!! 1 of the Greatest!!
Start back in 1967 for her first hit, "Different Drum" and move through the decades for hit after hit. She and Karen Carpenter have, in my opinion, the 2 most pure female voices ever. She was Pop Rock but sang some country and put out an album in Spanish as well. She was amazing up to a few years ago when she developed PSP which limits her ability to sing. Would love to see you react to more of her songs so you get an idea of how great she was and the contributions she made to the music industry over the years.
Writtn by Michael Nesmith of The Monkees fame!
Huge. Linda Ronstadt was huge! I feel so old when I realize you had never even heard of her. But thanks to youtube reactors like yourself, the generations are mixing it up and music will be so much the better for it! I know I'm constantly hearing artists I never before every day. Thanks for a wonderful reaction to a truly amazing artist!
I love reaction videos for making me appreciate anew all that wonderful music. I took it for granted back in the day!😊
Purest voice, no multiple tracks, no re-recording. Linda was one of the best ever.
Linda Rhonstad is a Kennedy Centers honoree. Not to mess with my friend. Latino roots, country, rock n roll, bluesy music in 60s 70s and 80s. Epic woman vocalist.
"There are two types of guys in this world. Those who have a crush on Linda Ronstadt and those who have never heard of her."
Willie Nelson.
Linda Ronstadt was on nearly all the radio stations, from pop to country to rock. You couldn’t listen to the radio in the 70’s without hearing one of her songs. Great reaction bp.
I don't know any guy who was alive in the '70s who wasn't crazy in love with Linda Ronstadt. She sang everything from country to rock to light opera, and she was amazing no matter what she was singing. If you really want to know how good Linda Ronstadt was, find a live video of her singing the Spanish songs La Chareada or La Cigara. If you've got socks on, she'll knock 'em off -- guaranteed.
Great reaction! this song was originally done by Roy Orbison back in the 60’s. You should check out “When Will I Be Loved” “You’re No Good” and/or her duet with Aaron Neville called “I Don’t Know Much.” All are great songs and I know you will like them! I think of this as more of a folk/rock song. She has an amazing voice and range! ❤️🔥✌🏻🫶🏻
Linda - La Charreada, will blow you away!!
Yes! Her vocals are mind blowing!
LOVE this one! ❤
Possibly her best vocal performance! I get goosebumps everytime I hear it!
Roy Orbison wrote & sang Blue Bayou! Two fun facts about Linda Ronstadt: (1) The Eagles formed out of her original session band before they got going with her. (2) On the U.S. pop charts in the 70s, she was the queen of remakes. Blue Bayou was a 1963 hit for Roy Orbison, who wrote the song.
Heatwave is one of my favs from Ronstadt . . . the guitar solo captures the essence of 70s pop-rock.
ANOTHER interesting fact: Ronstadt, whose father was of Mexican heritage, fought with her recording label to make an album of traditional songs all in Spanish in the late 80s; Ronstadt won the battle and the album, 'Canciones de Mi Padre', did NOT flop. 'Canciones de Mi Padre' became the biggest selling non-English album in U.S. history.
Linda Ronstadt is Amazing! I've always loved her!
it's so nice to see today's youth discovering and enjoying yesteryear's Talent
BRO, Another "must watch" is her duet with Aaron Neville, especially the "Live" television performance on Awards night!
Both of these legendary performers are shining stars, but now put them together???
The song is "I don't know much". One of my favorite duets of all time! 🤠
BP, Another top female rocker from the 70s - my generation. You're just scraping the top surface. She sang damn near every genre. Rock, Country, Latino, Operetta, the crooners, etc, etc, etc. Every time she tried something new her manager and music label would not agree but she did it anyway and ended up in every top 100 chart.
She's still alive but no longer can sing due to health issues. She's done some interviews and basically said, 'if I can't sing well then I won't'. She seemingly has a great outlook. I can't even give you the next song to listen to. Close your eyes and hit play. You'll love it. Thank you for listening to her.
My all time favourite song by Linda Ronstadt is "Long Long Time"!!! It's a beautiful, heartwrenching song!!!
That one is gold as well as Desperado, imo.
SHE SINGS IN SPANISH TOO ... JUST KILLS IT BRO !!!!
Well, her parents ts were Mexicans.
Linda is covering a song written by Roy Orbison. He sang it as well. He also did that song Crying BP. You reviewed it. This band may be the Stone Ponys. She'll start her own band when she hires Glen Frey and Don Henley. They will become the Eagles of Hotel California fame!
This is long after the Stone Poneys.
@@mikemaricle9941 She sang that song for many years Mike. Maybe this was when she first hired Glen Frey & Don Henley and maybe before them. Roy recorded it in 1963 & sang it live many times too. Doesn't matter much they both did a great job on it every time! I liked Roy singing the song Evergreen, that was a great love song. The Stone Poneys had an album with that name. What happened to the Stone Poneys after Linda left?
Linda Ronstadt is from Tucson Az. In this area much of our music in the 70’s crossed between rock and country. Her catalog is great. My first concert in 1967 was Linda Ronstadt and the Stone Poneys. Very folk rock.
I first saw her in 77, though I fell in love with her several years before.
I loved the Stone Ponies. ❤❤❤
You have just stumbled on the most beautiful voice on the planet. Linda Ronstadt (the “d” is silent) is an American treasure. Her catalogue spans over forty years and multiple genres. She could sing anything and do it with perfection. She won many Grammy awards along with every other honor and accolade imaginable. Her voice is a powerhouse with a sweet quality that is just amazing. Can’t say enough good things about her talent and her humanity. She was the first female to sell out arenas in the 70’s. This is a great discovery for you and a deep rabbit hole to explore. Enjoy 🌺✌️
If all you know of Linda is to hear this song -- you know you've heard something special. I'm sure its been said below but she was about the most successful female vocalist of the 60s-70s. And a really kind and decent person as well.
Hey Pegasus, Ian Fánite here
I'm 52 yrs old male who grew up listening to Linda Ronstat most all of my life. My mother had every album ever produced by Linda Ronstat .
What you probably don't know about her is she is responsible for Creating the Country Rock band the Eagles. Don Henley, Glen Fry both played for Linda before the formed the Eagles.
Also she is of German/ Mexican discent, Whose family hails from Mexico, Linda grew up speaking spainsh, and english.She is the most versatile singer in recorded history. Linda is a recorded Opera singer, Spanish singer, R&B, rock, and country. Linda, could cover anyone's music.. and own it like she wrote it her self.
My wife and I are big fan of your show. Keep up the good fight..
That means, keep working on finding that perfect song...
F.y.i Van Halen with lead singer David Lee Roth covered Linda Ronstat's song You're no good.. now, I love Van Halen, but Linda's version can not be dismissed at all. Check them all out and you'll see what I mean.
Yes! "You're No Good" especially the video from her appearance on the tv show "Midnight Special." You'll also want to see her duet of "I Don't Know Much" with Aaron Neville (check out the Neville Brothers for a great Louisiana band.) And if you have time, check out Linda's performance in "The Pirates of Penzance" which is a Gilbert and Sullivan light opera.
Influenced musically by Mexican rancheras, she had a stellar collection of hits. But with her release of "Canciones" she created something extraordinary. While her singing voice has been silenced due to an illness, her music and words continue to send ripples of inspiration to listeners.
A true American treasure. Her voice has been silenced, but her catalog is deep. You can't be a lover of music and then say you've never heard of Linda Ronstadt.
And this is a live performance; no modern studio auto-tune! Linda’s vocals are some of the best you will ever experience. So sad she cannot perform anymore 😢
I have stated before that I am not a rap fan. But at almost 70 I do so enjoy watching you react to these old greats. Keep on doing so. Keep an open mind an enjoy more. Analyze after.
I graduated in 77! Remember that song well!!!!! What a voice!!!!!
Linda Ronstadt and Ann Wilson are my all time favorite singers- both such beautiful and powerful voices!
This is how the Eagles created their band if im not mistaken
Linda Ronstadt “ love has no pride “ and her other 5 ish genres of music including her Spanish heritage music. Unbelievably talent for 6 people really. I grew up in 60s 70s and had her albums. She was instrumental in getting the Eagles out of the recording studio backing artists out to stardom. She told them they were too good to be hiding in a recording studio. They were her grp in the recording studio.
Love when you listen to the 70's and 80's classics. The videos are always LIVE where you are able to hear the pure voice, without studio adjustments. Especially some of the women. Linda, Heart, Stevie Nicks, Olivia Newton-John. All had powerful voices. Another Linda R song I loved was Ohh Baby Baby. Sad Parkinson's has ended her singing days.
Saw her sing this in concert on the seventies. You should look at Wikipedia about her. Over 20 major awards. Amazing fact Don Henley was in her band and she helped with formation of the Eagles. Amazing career
She is 1 of the QUEENS of 70s Folk ROCK/ Pop rock she has so much passion in her singing
How has someone that likes music never heard of Linda? She's one of the greatest vocalist of all time
Linda is my favorite female singer! She is absolutely amazing! From rock to country to opera, to Spanish music, so does it all! Her cover of Smokey Robinson’s “Tears of a Clown” is my favorite. So many other songs, too many to mention. Please go down this fabulous rabbit hole! Edit: It is “Tracks of my Tears” not “Tears of a Clown”. I always get those two titles confused!
Her You're No Good from The Midnight Special is tops.
Beautiful person, beautiful voice, beautiful song.
As an Arizona native, I could not be prouder of Linda Ronstadt born and raised in Tucson, Arizona! She speaks and sings beautiful Spanish and she is very proud of her Mexican roots!! ❤
Long, Long Time.... is a must listen.
If the world could have frozen in time, the 70s would be it for me. So much good music. It's heartbreaking that we age. And sad that she has to deal with Parkinson disease.
Linda also starred in an operetta by Gilbert and Sullivan on stage then in the movie version (1983)
"Pirates of Penzance."
It starred Linda, Kevin Kline and Angela Landsbury.
The musical timing was incredible!
It was fabulous !
It's comedy and opera and so much fun!!😮😮
Recently re-discovered the movie, I'd forgotten just how much fun it was!
I'm a rocker, hard rocker, metal, progressive rock, etc.
But I made it a point to see Linda every year when she'd play Blossom Music Center outdoor venue. Talent was off the charts..... And she could ROCK it too!
One of the finest American singers of all times!❤
You'll also love her original band The Stone Poneys
Between Linda Ronstadt and Olivia Newton John...I had no shortage of crushes, in my early years. Voices from heaven. Karen Carpenter as well.
😂 I never thought I'd ever hear someone say "Linda Ronstadt, who is she?" 😂
Love these old song reactions.
Linda's song Long, Long Time is worth checking out
One of the greatest voices of a generation regardless of genre.
It was a musically amazing time to be young. Sooooo many unbelievably talented people. I miss those times.
In the '80s, Linda teamed up with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra and recorded 3 or 4 albums of traditional pop standard music. They are definitely worth checking out.
I still have that album.
Loved Linda Ronstadt! And this beautiful song was written by the legendary Roy Orbison!
She was one of my Favorites! Loved her voice! Just amazing. Such a wide range! Absolutely Incredible. Heart Like a Wheel” ❤️ album so good!
Man, look into her music! She has albums of Rock, Pop, 2 LPs of 1940s music, Opera, and in Spanish. She has performed with many great musicians and singers. She's won 24 Grammys out of 54 dominations. Sadly, she was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2012 and lost her ability to sing .
Linda Ronstadt does not have Parkinson’s. She has a disease called Progressive Supranuclear Palsy. There’s no treatment, no cure.
She’s our local Tucson legend! She has such a wide range of music including entire albums in Spanish based on her Mexican heritage. Love Linda!
Linda's voice was amazing, it so sad she can't sing anymore. She did one of my favourite duets with Arron Neville, check out the live version of Don't Know Much. She also did a couple of albums as the Trio with Emmylou Harris and the epic Dolly Parton. Their voices were stunning when blended.
I don't understand how someone has never heard of Linda Ronstadt. I guess because she's my favorite of all time, I assume everyone knows how wonderful she is. I only wish I had seen her in concert a few more times.
Linda has a deep rabbit hole to fall into. She can sing anything!! Please do more of her! She ruled the radio in the 70’s & 80’s. She later put out some Spanish albums. I have had the pleasure of seeing her in concert 4 times. This actually was played on pop/rock stations!,
Linda is an American treasure. So many many hits. So diverse. Her Spanish songs are some of her best vocal performances.
She also sang for a band called The Stone Poneys, one of their more famous songs was called "Different Drum". Her catalog both with that group and alone are definitely worth a go through.
Strongest female voice of her generation.
This may sound country but she can sing anything.
Check out
-You're No Good (R&B/Soul)
-Somewhere Our There (pop power ballad)
After both my parents passed, I gave almost everything including their records. It was too hard to even look at them. It's been nice refreshing my memories with your reactions ✌️🎼🤘
Linda can sing any genre she is amazing please do more!! ❤
Linda was a big influence in the move of the music scene from New York to L. A. She helped Don Henley and Glen Frye by giving them a job in her band and later with transition to becoming the Eagles. She helped many and worked to make the L. A. music scene a place for music to grow in the 60's and 70's.
Linda has so many great songs. Such a pure beautiful voice. Long Long Time is a great song and her duet with Aaron Neville / Don’t Know Much. ❤✌ Great reaction
The song Blue Bayou was recorded in 1961 by Roy Orbison. He wrote it.
Linda can and will sing anything including very difficult voice ranges. She'll do them all pitch and tone perfect. The woman can sing!
Beautiful, beautiful, Linda!! Always top-notch! The best female singer, ever! She could sing anything. I have never seen a negative comment about Linda, ever! She is truly a world-wide treasure!! Look at her first hit at age 17 or 18, "Different Drum." So happy to see younger people getting to know the best music of the 60s, and '70s.
Linda Ronstadt is one of the greatest female vocalists of all time. She is extremely versatile and sings rock, country, folk, Latin and classical. When she had to retire because of Parkinson’s Disease, it was a great loss.
This is another song that makes me think of my mom! It was one of her favorites, and she sang it just as beautifully as Linda! So crazy that u have been reacting to so many artists and songs that she absolutely loved! ❤
I had a poster of Linda up on wall back in the 70s
Right beside Farrah Fawcett and Bo Derek, no doubt! 🙂
I was in high school in the early 1970s, back when Linda Ronstadt was becoming hugely famous. Like pretty much every teen then, many long years before the internet, I always waited impatiently for the release of my favorite musicians’ new albums and then bought them as soon as I could. Then I’d hide in my room and play them over and over. A happy by-product was learning most of the words to most of the songs on the album.
At the end of the day, that’s why most of us - the present-day Ancients to all y’all whippersnappers - STILL know most of the words to most of the songs from back then. It’s why we can embarrass the young’uns in our lives by singing freely, wherever we are, about
Muskrat Love - or -

And, of course, Blue Bayou.😊
But the song that really separates us from the rest of you is being able to belt out - or intone - "Her Majesty" (yes, the whole song, all the words😁) from The Beatles Abbey Road album.
Deep, deep rabbit hole for Linda! One of my favourites his her duet with Aaron Neville "Don't Know Much"
I've always wanted to see more of what she's got! I've had a crush on that woman for almost 50 years.
It’s sad now, but Linda has been stricken with Parkinson’s disease, and she can no longer sing… it’s like a songbird was silenced. 😢😢😢
So…I quess you've never heard Linda R. before (she stopped singing in 2009 due to an illness). But, she sang for over 40 years in the USA and much of Europe. She's sung rock, ‘pop', country, rhythm & blues, American ‘standards', ‘Broadway', and Mexican (mariachi).
She has earned 11 Grammy Awards, three American Music Awards, two Academy of Country Music awards, an Emmy Award, and an ALMA Award. Many of her albums have been certified gold, platinum or multiplatinum in the US and internationally. She has also earned nominations for a Tony Award and a Golden Globe award. She was awarded the Latin Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award by the Latin Recording Academy in 2011, and also awarded the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award by the Recording Academy in 2016. She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in April 2014, and on July 28, 2014, she was awarded the US National Medal of Arts and Humanities. In 2019 Ronstadt was among five honorees who received the Kennedy Center Honors for lifetime artistic achievements.
She was pretty much the reigning queen of the 70s and had several hits into the 80s and 90s. She sang rock, country, in Spanish and also light opera. An absolute legend. Surprised this guy hadn’t heard of her.
I dont care if I relate to a song, i just love the SOUND. I hear the music, as in voice and instruments first. Then i find the lyrics.
