These songs are in Ms. Rosie's bones. She rarely (if ever) looked at the video monitors for the lyrics 🥰 You can see she soaks up everything involved with making that eye contact w/ her audience 😭 a true musician and interpreter 🥰Her and Linda together have always been one of the most exciting singing pairs and friendships in the music industry.

Do a deep dive into Linda Ronstadt's career and one will be hard pressed to find as versatile a career as hers. Without Ronstadt, I likely wouldn't have an appreciation for a variety of musical genres.

I did not watch the Grammys. In fact I have not watched that show for several years. Why? Because nothing today can compare with this classic 20th century American repertoire. Linda, Rosemary and John Williams = American treasures. Now the big question: Why isn't this available as a DVD? WNET, wake up!

Linda played a significant role in getting Rosemary back into singing. She had always been a huge fan of Clooney's singing and kept reaching out to do record the Girl Singer CD, which Ronstadt drew a sketch of Rosemary and also wrote the liner notes. Both adored Nelson Riddle as well.
@lifegood1712 3 жыл бұрын
Wow! There was something more in Linda Ronstadt's performance of these songs, that make them warmer and richer than those on the Nelson Riddle albums. John Williams and the musicians perhaps helped, but I credit the warmth and richness of Rosemary Clooney and her phrasing that lets that richness linger. While, Linda may have been adapting in ways to aid the collaboration, she defenitely learned to sing those songs better than she had before, which caused me to go "wow". I am so glad she sang my favorite, "Skylark"!

That's not surprising. This is ten years after Linda did the first album of standards with Nelson Riddle--so she was much more comfortable with the songs. But I saw Linda and Riddle in 1983 at Radio City Music Hall and she was already more at ease with the songs. She could really swing with the best of them on Keeping Out of Mischief, which never appeared on any of the three albums with Riddle, and her "Ghost of a Chance" was a hauntingly beautiful moment in that concert.

They became very special friends. Remarkable songbirds, different eras but they sang like they meant it. Linda said they belonged to " Girl Singers Anonymous" - they knew the music, they knew the road and they knew the men.

Thanks a million from a Linda Ronstadt fan!

What professionals! Linda and Rosemary sing so effortlessly and the Pops didn't miss a beat. I agree with a previous comment that Linda hit these songs out of the ballpark. Much closer to the way this music should be sung although I enjoyed her recordings with Mr Riddle. Rosie is a singers singer and no doubt rubbed off on everyone "This Evening At The Pops"
@mr.maxeffort Жыл бұрын
I was not aware of this program ever being broadcast and viewed it for the first time today. Could it have been better? Yes, ideally Linda would not have to share the stage with anyone. I would have preferred that the entire performance was Linda, solo. Quite gracious of her to share the stage with her friend.

Orchestra's performance of "Frenesi" can't compete with the orchestral arrangement accompanying Linda Ronstadt's vocal of this song. It is even lacking when compared to the recording by Chet Baker and Gerry Mulligan. But that's symphony guys for you.

Peter Farrar:- John Williams Boston Pop orchestra featuring Rosemary Clooney & Linda Ronstadt 1993 orchestra concert. Now its 2024, & the simple arthmetic, & the result , 31 years ago, & the significance of that, Rosemary Clooney & Linda Ronstadt are grossly overweight(specially Rosie) & beyound their peak of at least two decades ago at that date, & age progression are the dominant factor. This is embrassing viewing on KZfaq today. Please retire gracefully. Words of justified criticism by Peter E. Farrar.
