I was 13 years old in late summer 1967, when I stood 10 feet from totally unknown Linda Ronstadt, as she lip-synched this during the taping of a cheesy little afternoon teen TV dance show called "The Groovy Show". Needless to say, I was smitten forever, and right then I "knew" she would be a huge star [I was right]. Other than Linda, there is nobody I would rather see sing this number than Susanna, thanks for posting it.

Unbelievably 62 today. The prettiest American woman ever.

The author of "Different Drum", Michael Nesmith (The Monkees) passed away today at age 78, December 10, 2021. Rest in peace. 🕯

She's just gorgeous and she doesn't even have to try. Not every woman can do that. Her voice is beautiful too. Really nice version.

Can Susanna get any more beautiful? My God.

She's just a beautiful as she always was... and still has the same voice she had as a young girl. It's amazing...

Susanna is absolutely beautiful! I agree she is as gorgeous now as she was years ago. Her looks and eyes always had a way of melting my heart.

This song really hits home since Nez passed 2 days ago. This version is brilliant. I know he loved it too

The beauty, the grace, the articulation, the tone, the control, the dexterity, the range, and the RASP of her voice. Such a prime example of musical perfection. I can't say it better; Susanna is tremendously gorgeous, and her voice is her looks' only competition. Top notch performance.

Just stunning. Imagine walking into your local bar and instead of the usual locals playing you stumble upon these three and this song. I'd never leave.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I love Susanna Hoffs. But what I love here is the fact that her work with Matthew Sweet is just for the sheer joy of doing good music. She's not looking for chart rankings or record sales. She's just enjoying herself. That's why she sounds so great. According to some, even better than in the 80s. I don't know why, but it makes me happy to see her perform just for the joy it brings her. FYI, she's a '59 Capricorn. We're awsome.

A beautiful song by a fantastic band. And Susanna Hoffs is just the most hypnoticly stunning woman I've ever seen. An eternal beauty.

RIP Mike….great song…I saw Linda Ronstadt perform this in 1976 so….well this is a great version….great vocals 👍🏻🥂

She's so freakin' gorgeous!!!!!!!

I love her voice; I love the rasp. I love her hair and eyes, especially the sideway glances. I love the set, the chairs; I love her posture, her short dress, her legs and the placement of her hands. I love the instrumentation and Matthew’s backup. Other than that it was just O.K.

She is the whole package! Brains, beauty, talent!

Susanna Hoffs is the most exquisite creature ever invented

Susanna should have sang the tribute to LInda Ronstandt at the 2014 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame - this is really good

The original version is a classic, but this one is mindblowing. Thanks for posting.

What can you say - Susanna Hoffs the most beautiful woman in the world.

God, she's gorgeous.

Not only do we get Susanna and Matthew at their very best, but they got the legendary Greg Leisz to join them on lead acoustic guitar. Any group he joins immediatley becomes a supergroup.

That was pure class, really liked that version of that song, I never realised Susanna was that good a singer, I ended up buying two of her solo albums because of seeing some of her work on KZfaq. I'll check out her work with Sweet aswell, they make a good team. You can't beat raw talent and she definitely has it, she still looks lovely.

Voice of an Angel. I've had a crush on her since the '80s; still do!

nothing beats linda's version for me, but this is still amazing. susanna's voice really suits it.

She has a beautiful voice, and dare I say she's one of the most beautiful women out there!

I didn't think anyone could perform that song like the wonderful Linda Ronstadt. Susanna your a superstar !

Great collaboration of Hoffs and Sweet. I would recommend the album to everyone who enjoys real 'old-fashioned' songs just like this one.

Susanna Hoffs is now 57 years old ~ what a magnificent woman & what talent !

Ms. Hoffs has such a wonderful,honey drenched voice. You can get absolutely lost in the sound she makes. Oh yeah...she's also very easy on the eyes as well. Looking forward to hearing more Under the Covers material in the future.

Oh Susanna! That voice, those eyes. Grreat take on an old classic.

I love you Susanna and I love your music. You are beautiful and have an amazing voice. Take care and have a wonderful year. David

I love this . I’ve only ever heard Linda Ronstadt sing it, but this is a lovely version . It has its own magic. I really like this.

My favorite Voice

I love the familiar quaver of her voice. It's so iconic.

Nobody could beat Ms. Linda's voice and rendition and unmatchable voice ... but the simplicity of her rendtion is another view of the song...

I love you Susanna you are absolutely beautiful. Your sweet voice really makes me feel wonderful. Keep it up and have a wonderful year.

Of course nothing and no one beats Linda's version and Linda's voice. But still, here, Susanna is proven to be not only (eternally) gorgeous but a great voice too. Excellent performance from a great singer.

Being brought in this world in 62 listing to Am Fm radio to all th 60s music!! I feel blessed!!

Unmistakable perfect voice!

Performing is never a chore to susanna Hoffa , you get a real sense of enjoyment from her and a wanting to personally share songs with her audience. I swear down that even though she is known the world over that her greatest attributes are overlooked and she's like an undiscovered talent..... She makes it look do easy, because to her, it's a natural environment...... From hero takes a fall to this,, never tire of listening to her perform....

tone and texture are what makes one voice stand out from many others, and Susanna has it in spades!!!!

This is fantastic ! When she goes low and sings "we'll both live a lot longer" ... beautiful.

Beautiful haunting song, great video and a mesmerising singer. A lesson in 'less is more'.

She still does that "look sideways with eyes while head facing straight ahead" thing she used to do with The Bangles, most prominent in Walk Like An Egyptian video. Susanna Hoffs is over off my all time favorite voices and it's great to hear her over different music.

all these comment and nobody mentioned this fun fact, the song was written by Mike Nesmith of the Monkees

Now I understand why my daughter loved MS years ago- great harmony on a beautiful song and who cares about their weight- its all beautiful!

Great version of a great song. At last someone can do it justice.

The three albums of covers that Susanna and Matthew recorded together are MUST HAVES!

As much as I love Linda and The Stone Poneys. This is very very good. Great vision and recording. This Lady can SING!!!

Mike Nesmith's best song ever. They do a great job. Suzanna is wonderful.

Matthew is doing some really nice harmony singing on this one. And the fellow playing lead- who is it?- plays some very tasty fills. And, of course, Susanah Hoffs is a godess- plain and simple.

A beautiful version. The harmonies and the arrangement along with Susanna Hoffs on lead vocals with that rasp in her voice was just absolutely on point, and she is still a stunning looking woman.

I’ve always loved Susanna’s voice, it gets better and better. Just awesome! 👍

This woman can sing anything Rock, Pop, Country it doesn’t matter...

Thanks for the confirmation. It's been years since I last saw him live in concert, playing lead guitar and pedal steel for k.d. lang at a Portland show. He and Matthew Sweet certainly hit all the right notes in this performance. Just a stunning collaboration on a classic tune by the very under-appreciated Mike Nesmith.

I love her version HERE of this song! I LOVE theREALNESS in her voice...and the CRACKLE in her voice!!AWESOME job! Good harmony with the guys also!

Last night after I'd rehearsed for about 15 hours in two days, I pulled this video up. My sweetie has heard me play and sing this tune hundreds of times. I begged her that that if she ever left me for another woman that it please be Suzanna Hoffs, lol. But she's not going anywhere.

Nice version of Linda's classic!. Also, I can't seem to get me eyes off Susanna Hoffs. She's beautiful!

who ever would of thought that anyone could ever equal Ronstadt's version of this song but Susanna has obviously done it - just an amazingly good performance

oh man...this rendition is wicked...i'm 33 & I think I've had a crush on this woman since I was 5 years old

55 years old today.Amazing

Susanna will be hot at any age! Glad to see her still singing.

Wow. Absolutely brilliant.

two thumbs up on the back up vocals!!.... and Susanna, was of course,... sublime!

what a singer, what a beautiful woman.

I’m not going to play the worthless game of asking which version is the best. I’m just going to thank the music gods for both. Thank you for sharing.

❤❤wonderful!!2024 from Texas

Great unique/subtle voice. Love the lyrics as well.

What a great song , her voice has always been amazing, thanks for the post

Simply the best. Wish I could get her to sing one of my original country songs. Susanna could rock the Nashville scene too!!!

literally in my top 10 of my fav tunes. the stone pony's

Great song! Susanna is like a fine wine. Better with age. Both in vocals and beauty. Watch, listen, enjoy....

Ok I am just going to point this out because it is true and nobody seems to be getting it. She is better now than she was then, professionally. She is a better singer. And, as icing on the cake, she is far better looking than she was then. I don't know what happened, but that is just the way it is. She was cute in the 80s. Now she is a knockout. She was a decent singer in the 80s. Now she is wonderful.

Susanna Hoffs is tremendous! She looks great! I always enjoyed hearing her sing and it's great to see her working with Matthew Sweet. I am a fan of his work too. He is very talented too!

man i had forgot all about her then i had a random thought of her 20yrs later.went to nude pics hoping but found all of these[so much better]shes still stunning and that voice this made my evening THANKS GW

I love her voice and look. She is timeless!

Excellent

Beautiful rendition by a beautiful lady.

Susanna Hoffs ... the only autograph I have ever gotten. I think it's probably the only one I need ... except for Linda's, of course!

I love her voice!

This was a beautiful version- Thank You.

god she's good. always loved her style .beautiful interpretation

Thank you for the nod to two of my favorite artists, Mike Nesmith and Linda Rondstat 🌹

This song is heartfelt. Thank you Susanna.

a great song! A tribute to Mike Nesmith as his ability and innovation to write great songs!

I think I'm wearing a groove out on this video, like I did with my vinyl..........Can't stop watching or listening to it........She really is just as gorgeous now as 20+ years ago. As somebody pointed out, love the eyes at the 22 second mark. And, that voice mesmerizes me. Especially love the way she sings "Soooo, good bye"

Wow, that was great!

Yeah definitely should have Susanna singing the song at the Linda RRHOF tribute.

Susanna is the best.

I love this girl...Mrs. Hoff is an angel :)

Nice, Mike N great song, RIP! Linda's version was perfection, and Sue & Matt is heaven revisited!

That was great. I'll have to check out more music by this duo. PS luv u Sue

Susanna,do Blue Bayou for me...your voice has matured to perfection,and your looks as always...lovely

Wundervolle Frau, wundervolle Stimme!

So deep, awesome and lovely as good a remake as there could ever be.

Ti amo Signora Hoffs !!

She is a love.

Mike Nesmith was a hell of an underrated songwriter

It's beautiful how Susanna no longer worries about those little sexy "slide glances" that she used in the 80s. She just gets inmersed in the song and just enjoys the moment and the interpretation of the music. She no longer is concerned with making something that "sells" but rather something of quality. And that little raspiness that comes out in her voice on some notes sounds so awsome, and sexy. It's something that she's developed as she's grown older. I've always wondered in that alternative universe, what would have happened if the Bangles hadn't broke up in 1989 and had continued a few more years instead of that 10 year hiatus.
