  • She has one of the best female voices ever. I went to see her. She was great. She had one hit after another. Love her Trio album with Emmy Lou and Dolly.

  • Love it!

  • Remember this song in Man on Fire... Top film:)

  • ive always loved this girl... now my wife finally knows

  • Still brings me to tears...thank you so much for posting this true gem!

  • I'm all about music and expression and all, but is it really necessary for modern artists to butcher classics like this?

  • this song means so much to me its my calling song for when i go back to california

  • Comment removed

  • When this song appeared on man on fire I was more in love then ever "))))

  • My dog even loves this song.

  • Con el permiso de Roy Orbison y de Roberto Jordan....nadie canta esta cancion com Linda Ronstad.

    Gracias por compartirla.

  • Great song. Orbison is a king of modern music and Ronstadt payed a great tribute to his work with this rendition. This is music.

  • What true talent and class sounds and looks like! 

  • Try ronstad's somewhere over the rainbow. You will love it too.

  • I have loved this song for nearly 35 years and it still takes me back :)

  • Far out I was 10 when this beautiful woman put this song out and have tried to emulate her ever since...without much luck...and the song has exactly the same effect on me since way back in 1977...you rock Linda :)

  • That last note....Heaven

    

  • What a knockout.

  • this songs great !!! even sung better than roy orbison..

  • Linda is one of the most influencial vocalists of our time. Pure talent. I learned so much from listening to her. So versalite.

  • @9sommo Mexicans Will Always Look Better Than A Fuckin PALE FACE Ever Will... LOL BITCH!!!

  • I would sing this song during my pregnancy and once my daughter was born I used this as her lullaby. She 6 years old now but when she is feeling sad or not feeling good she would ask me to sing this to her.

  • A MEXICAN WOMAN WHO WAS FORCED TO HIDE BEHIND A WHITE FACE...

  • @ENEMENCIO123VISION there are white Mexicans get over it .

  • @llensart im one of them. get over that.

  • @ENEMENCIO123VISION We all knew she was mexican, so what?

    

  • @Lrpesme48 better than a fuckin PALE FACE

  • Better than amazing - stunning. One of the all time great live performances. Difficult not to love Linda . . .

  • I love this song I really got into it after watching Stevehen Kings Dreamcatcher the guy uses the song to block the aliens from reading his mind!! Why is she not in H.O.F. cant think its about politics the Eagles are there and no one rails against the system that made them rich more than them I love them though!!

  • just great

  • first heard this on man on fire

  • voce meravigliosa brava Linda, bravissima!

  • i'm going back someday come what may to blue bayou......where the folks are fine... and the world is mine on blue bayou.......where those fishing boats.......with their sails afloat, if i could only see.....

    that familiar sunrise,through sleepy eyes.....

    how happy i'd be!!!

  • Igual o Mejor k con MARIACHIIIII!!!!TQM!!!

  • linda I would lick the sweat from your throat! I love you~

  • WHAT AN AMAZING WOMAN,THE LOVE OF MY LIFE

  • Beautiful!

  • Jesus ...she is beautiful.

    When I was 8 years old in Edmonton i had the Biggest crush on her. Im 44 and i still do...call me..haha. jkalchuk@shaw.ca.....lol

  • WOW.

    Oh Wow.

    When my Grandkids, currently 10, 12 and a bit, and 13, I judge capable, I will sneakily show this to them, and leave their own opinions to themselves.

    No input from Grandpa.

    Just them.

  • Again, I've fallen in love. Linda, I love you. What would it take for you to fall for a destitute mycologist who spends his time on spiderman comics and lunchmeat fungi? Is there a chance? Please?

  • Linda Ronstadt, linda voz, linda cara, linda actitud pero más que todo, linda canción.

    Linda Ronstadt, linda (pretty) voice, linda (pretty) face, linda (pretty) attitude but above all, linda (pretty) song.

  • @monomeghann I think the cheerleading group might have done routines to it. I don't remember for sure, or maybe I just got pissed off trying to listen to it backwards. Neither one of those reasons has anything to do with the song. I actually had the 45 and it got ruined and the needle on the record player did too.

  • how can this woman not be in the rock n roll hall of fame? I just sent them an email telling them i wouldn't visit their museum or give them my money. How can a "museum" be taken seriously if their owner tries to RE-WRITE history b/c he had a feud with a particular artist. Let them know what you think... here's the link staff@rockhall.org

  • @cwebsterk SHE'S NOT IN THE ROCK N ROLL HALL OF FAME BECAUSE OF HER POLITICAL STANDS,THAT'S QUITE UNFAIR AND A REAL DISGRACE

  • @alexcaracas69 Actually that is not true....Her political views are so left that she would easily get in if that were the case....No, why aren't the Moody Blues there....and many other greats...It's because it's controlled by a bunch of fucking morons....

  • im guessing the one dislike was an accident

  • one of the best versions of this song - great

  • Man on Fire brought me here

  • DIVA DIVA AND DIVA!

  • Please let the record show that I went from watching ANCIENT ALIENS directly to this video. Wow. Philip K. Dick was right. He was really right!

  • JERRY BROWN WAS A FOOL!!! WHAT A FOX IN HER PRIME..........OH! AND SHE JUST HAPPENED TO SING HER ASS OFF ALSO...........BELIE DAT!

  • Que bonita voz, me gusta mucho esta cancion. Saludos desde Mexico

  • Brains, beauty (both inside & out) and unparalleled talent.

    Since I first heard her in 1967, I’ve been a huge fan (and I must admit have had a secret crush on her like so many other men).

    She has brought joy to many millions with her incomparable vocals, angelic voice and good deeds.

    Johnnie Carson put it best, after hearing her sing, “When You Wish Upon a Star”, he said, “Now that’s real class!”

    She is truly a national treasure.

    Happy Birthday, Linda and best wishes for many more!

  • happy birthday, linda! 65 years young! 7-15-11

  • Linda has always influenced me & my music

  • Linda Ronstadt is BAR NONE the finest interpreter of songs EVER in the history of recording artists using that unmistakably awesome voice of hers and applying it to ANY GENRE of music....she has a knack for taking someone else's song, adding her own flavor and spicing it up to produce a hit record, be it rock, country, easy listening, mariachi, contemporary classics, or pop - SHE'S THE BOMB! Notice the striking resemblance of her (early photos) with another rising pop sensation - Selena Gomez.

  • Simply Awesome!

    

  • my aunt carol is to blame for my undying love for linda! as a kid , i'd go over to her house often, and she'd be cleaning and playing linda's albums especially "simple dreams". i've been in love with her forever now. a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice! i listen to her daily. never tire of her! waiting for her to announce some shows here in southern calif and even better a new album! i can only dream! did i say i love linda ronstadt?!

  • Linda really helped me through my days in the service. Never get tired of listening to that beautiful woman. This song is one of my favorite.

  • Still, no peers....

  • I really love her version of singing these song, really suits her voice...

  • She IS THE BEST

    

  • Ive loved Linda most of my life, Im most thankful.

  • Woah! You go girl! 

  • I wonder what it would be like to be the best of all time at something.

  • OMG ...what a woman ! Great song ...great voice !

  • thanks for giving us the EAGLES!!!

  • It was in the 80's when I was a teenager and was listening to her.

  • Her voice and this song relaxes me from a long day from college and work. I enjoy this song very much. I use to listen to her when I was a teenager.

  • Her voice and this song relaxes me from a long day from college and work. I enjoy this song very much.

  • sweet,beautyfull,powerfull.won­derfull. what can you say.

  • Her voice makes me happy.

  • Linda only can come second to Roy Orbison, A female voice sounds nice but Roy played his own guitar whilst giving it soul.

  • The 1 person who disliked this song is a idiot... this just reminds me of the movie "Man on Fire" at the end :/ great movie btw

  • @gallegg21 Man On Fire was an amazing movie. He really did paint his masterpiece.

  • Geweldig, ben weer helemaal in mijn jeugd

  • Whether it's Louisiana of Mississippi....good stuff.

  • Nothing compares to Roy's performance

  • As a kid I loved Linda and still do she was so hot, and what a beautiful voice......bring music back the music has been gone for a long time starting from the 90's.......

  • What a voice!! Whew.....

  • @acousticguitarfan i agree with u....beautiful too!

  • sweetness coated candy...

  • THANK YOU for uploading this, in this quality. Absolutely gorgeous.

  • the eagles were her backup band, right?

  • @redactor96 Yes.

  • I like her spanish cds better.

  • Waw super...

  • I wish I could've been at the Troubadour (an LA country rock club) back in the early seventies before acts like Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Browne and the Eagles made it big. That must have been amazing.

  • 1 person has never been to blue bayou

  • I like this song...and this voice!!!!

  • use this great gift of yours to glorify your Creator with

  • This doesn't get better than saving nickles and saving dimes ... this is a treasure tune from wayback.

    Of course I feel more close to Linda's version than Roy's ... no wonder I am made of woman .

    Lovely preformance ...5stars

  • simply flawless!!!!bravo linda!!!

  • fucking simply flawless!!!!! excuse my french.lol

  • She was fuckin' HOT back then....

  • Prettiest song ever

  • She sounds like Lani Misalucha

  • I love live performance

  • It must be that final breathtaking "note"

  • The one person that dislikes this song is and asshole. Sorry my opinion.

  • sexy as fuck

  • What a voice :)

  • Let Gov Jerry Brown stick her, She sucked after that. With music I mean

  • The PICof her on her album cover putting on roller skats got me so hot!! whoa

  • Baby don't worry. I'm yours now and forever. I'm so sorry, I know I upset you and that wasn't my intension. After we talked I felt much better as always. There is nothing I want more than to be with you but I do understand. You're worth waiting for my love.

  • Hi Baby, sitting here, worried about us, I'm loving you so! I miss you so baby!

    FBLYF

  • legendary.. her voice and her music take me back to my childhood and so many happy memories come back.. not many can hold a candle to this woman..

  • Sometimes they call certain kinds of home runs "Linda Ronstadts", because they "blew by you"... Although I know that Roy Orbison sang this first, like MANY of Linda's covers, her version is more interesting...

  • @shmuli9 I think like you .. Thanks for your comment.

  • @shmuli9 thats because she sings it with heart and mode, and self contemplation.

  • @shmuli9 Actually, a "Linda Ronstadt" refers to a really good fastball (not a home run) because it "blew by you."

    I'm pretty sure Tim McCarver came up with that funny line while he was calling Mets' games back in the day.

  • @shmuli9

    Not home runs, but fastballs (usually when they're swung on and missed).

  • @emncaity I didn't know that...

  • nice song

    

  • "Se la comio ,linda.

    Outstanding!

  • I cannot listen to this without thinking about Denzel Washington in Man on Fire. Great song though

  • @locutus94 yes denzel

  • This woman has one of the most amazing voices ever! When I was a kid, I would practice singing to her "Simple Dreams Album" ehh--hem on an 8-track.... remember the eight track? Occasionally the songs would go silent for a moment when they clicked to another track... ahh yes, the good ol' days....

  • @littlebirdsings17 Thanks for your comment.

  • @littlebirdsings17 I not only remember 8 track tapes, but my dad would peruse the discount rack at the gas stations while we were on a road trip so we had new music to play in the car. Good old days and great old memories...

  • @littlebirdsings17

    Oh I remember those things... Then again I rode to school on a dino. LoL. I miss my album.

    Thanks for posting this song, it brings back all kinds of memories!!!

  • @littlebirdsings17 i agree

  • I had her poster in my room in the 70's. Last time I saw her she was gigantic....I'll stick to these memories.

  • The only Roy Orbison song that I like better when performed by someone else. This is one of the best of all time!!

  • What a song!!!

  • her enunciation meets the ache that makes me cry as it's not just a pronounced statement; the way somehow almost ironically i found roy orbinson's version of this giving it a perspective of confidence more than missing be strongly noted, which is strange because he so clearly meets that hearbeat with some other words. however it is not borderline beautiful to bring me out of my feeling of wanting to exit an mcs mixed isolation or long even for paradise as we can inch but where's our feet but by~

  • great voice

  • @pupplesan

    So for you, the millions of singers that don't play an instrument are lazy and 'egotistical'? Strange habit...

  • @pupplesan The Voice IS an instrument and for some of us vocalists we prefer to concentrate on our single instrument.

  • The lirycs are in the description of video.... open it.

  • love it!!!!!

  • likes this so much...

  • oh yes i love linda...shes such a great singer...

  • dedicata a chi ci crede....a chi non smette di cercarla.....a chi ce l'ha dentro il cuore.
