My first tour in Korea. Was common for the guys to buy nice tape decks and from one of the Lts room I kept hearing this singer. One nite I said OK I want to hear this. He sat me down on the floor, put the Stone Pony tape on and left. I sat there on the floor and listened for the entire tape and could not believe what I was hearing. Seems a Priest who had a small church in a near by village came by now and again and he would end up on the floor, same tape listening to her sing and crying.

One thing that makes a singer tops is vocal quality. You can't learn it. Linda has it. Christina...well she works with what she's got, but it sounds strained and all the vocal calisthenics in the world can't make up for the unpleasantness of the sound. For every 25 singers who can hit all the notes, only one has that gift.
@pbierre I agree. She had/has great dynamic range from a whisper to belting it out within the same song. Also an absolute genius in interpreting other writers songs. So underated unfotunaltely
@pbierre And yet she got criticized for how beautiful her voice was. People just missed the point. She didn't need to move her voice around. She would just hold out these long powerful magnificent almost operatic sounding notes and blow the roof off. Case in point: It happens every tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime. ;-)
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 4 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.
Great song. I remember reading an article about this back in the 80's.They had recorded all the verses and chorus, but couldn't come up with a 'bridge' to get them to the final chorus and finish. After everyone else had left the studio for the day, Andrew Gold stayed behind and came up with that eerie 'Beatle-esque/White Album' instrumental break. (Playing all the instruments, of course... over-achiever, hoho).
The drummer's name is Don Francisco. He was a friend of mine, and his youngest brother,Tim, was one of my best friends in the world. Don had an extensive career in the L.A. music scene in the 1960s and 70s. In addition to many others, he played drums for Bob Welch and was a back-up vocalist on his FRENCH KISS album. Don passed away in 1998. Tim died in 2001. I miss them both. They were two very special people.
The "B" side of this record was "I can't help it if I'm still in love with you" and the reason she won the CMA award for it in '75 was because she chose Emmylou to sing harmony with her. If you've never heard Emmylou and Linda sing together, you've never heard real music!
Even though Linda was groundbreaking in she was a female rock star in an otherwise almost all male dominated field she still doesn't get the respect that she deserves. She was selling out concerts and selling millions of records back when women who were solo acts simply didn't exist. I guess the reason she's been not been inducted into the Rock and Roll hall of fame is because she didn't write a lot of her hit songs. Yet crappy groups like the Dave Clark 5 are in the Rock and Roll hall of fame.
The boys of the band really made Linda sound and look great on that stage. Damn, that song is a classic! It is too bad nothing like it comes out any longer.
Betty and Van Halen also sound good doing it, too.
@dsfddsgh I agree and disagree. Linda has a fantastic voice, but so does Christina. She however is an exception in a music world filled with empty singers. Too much flash and not enough substance (or talent).
These days all they care about is how they look, not how they sound (and it's not just the women - witness Justin Bieber as evidence).
@dsfddsgh Christina is hardly a hack. She has a great and powerful voice. It's more how she chooses to use her voice that is the issue. When she sings without going over the top she is very good.
Always loved Linda though since The Stone Poneys days.
@dsfddsgh If you think Linda can out sing Christina then you should check out how much real training Ztina has had she is no hack like so many are she is actually extremely talented and she can hit notes Linda can not Christina is recognized as a accomplished singer. Linda is great also they might have been incredible together
@Docthewrench Just because you can hit certain notes doesn't make you a great singer. Christina like a lot of modern day singers overdoes it with the vocal gymnastics and ruins songs. The most obnoxious is taking a note and stretching it out to 3 or 4. Just sing the damn song.
She was known as, "The Queen Of Rock," and toured with such acts as Jackson Browne, The Doors, and Neil Young. And in January of 1975, Pop/Country singer legend, "Linda Ronstadt" had created an eccentric beat to a "Different Drum," with her remarkable Chart Topping hit, "You're No Good." The song was released from her Double Platinum Album, "Heart Like A wheel." The Stone Poneys former front lady's career consisted of twenty-two Billboard Top 40 singles, ten of which entered the Top 10.
