Linda Ronstadt - Baby You've Been On My Mind Lyrics

Some show called "Something Else" w John Byner -- I just searched after watching this. Someone has the whole show uploaded. Pretty neat.

What is John Byner doing in a Ronstadt video?

This video is so different from today Linda is has and will always be my favorite singer it’s way better than today’s videos today they’re so Ronchi but back then they were simple but they meant a lot

Wonderfully simple and sweet. I would guess this is 1969 or '70. Song is from her '69 album.

Gosh this is a awesome video. I love it to see Linda just having fun playing frisbee, and sounds of seagulls, ocean waves, rocks all so beautiful. I love her music and her. She's my favorite female vocalist for all time. Thank you so much for sharing. I needed something to help me and this song is great!!!

John Boylan in the clip?

Comedian John Byner. This was his tv special. Guessing 1970.

beautiful just beauuuuuuutiful love this gem of just a wonderful moments of linda covering another Bob Dylan masterpiece great range in her voice and her looking so sweeet and lovely selena Gomez has her youth as well as her spirit I Love you linda baby so very very very much peace everybody😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.

You're right. She looked like Selena Gomez

any idea what year this was made? oh and i love it thx for posting!

A John Byner tv special. Probably 1970, although Linda's song is from her '69 album.

I'm a huge fan, but this video is so goofy, in a good way. She always was a tad quirky.

Love it.

Early Linda - nothing better. Odd little TV shoot - but as long as you have Dylan and Linda- all is well. Great version.

Some of Linda's more famous early photos were taken at this location.  Probably the same day I am guessing. There is a German Shepherd running around there somewhere lol.  Wish there was a better quality video of this but I am happy just to have this one.

Thanks Linda - lovely arrangement - good job.

3.02 when I listen to her "I forget all about time and discomfort", yes! What a great singer :)

This is precious

Another early Bob Dylan song that was never released until his bootleg series years later.

New to me but I really like this.

This has always been one of my favorite Linda Ronstadt songs.  Heads and tails above other versions.

Wow! This is a rare video of a young LR. Thanks for posting.

I vaguely remember the guy in the video. A late 60s comedian. Anyone know his name and where the clip came from. Videos were not that common in 1969.

The comedian's name was John Byner. He was also well known for doing impersonations. This may have been from one of his hosted TeeVee shows back then.

Music starts at 0:30

Love her voice; she is just a talent; but yes..........cheezzy script for a video

Ah yes, I used to watch a show he had in the 80's "Bizzare".

This is a bob Dylan song

and a tie

a strong, rich, full voice. beautiful.

Never seen or heard this great classic thanks for posting

Actually Claretea you are right and sadly I include my own comments. I have been side-tracked by the extraordinary cheesiness of this clip. Linda was, what, 18, 20 here and I guess did what she was told. The song is a great one. I can remember hearing it in my early teens and it was that sound-track thing. Linda's rich voice is great here so 0 for the outfit but full points for the song choice.

The guy is John Byner.He was a comedian/actor in the 60's 70's and 80's.He was on Get Smart;Soap;Stroker Ace with Burt Reynolds.Not her boyfriend lol.

Never seen this one....nice...I just wonder, since this was so early in her career, if she sang that same song in the 70's or 80's, her voice would sound more mature and not so stoic, but a lovely song anyway.

Lovely! Never heard or seen this video before. I love how she looks here ;)

I did not take it seriously. I was just saying - he is seriously not her boyfriend and she is seriously young and would do anything a record company might say was a good idea.

My comment wasn't meant to be taken seriously.

No, Iam guessing he is not her boy-friend and I am also guessing she would not normally be seen dead in that outfit but she was young and earning a living.

i love this record. wow, a music video, who knew??

Who is that tool she's with...doesn't look like Jerry Brown.

That is you tube. Join the party. I like Simon and Garfunkel, Linda, Bread, ABBA, The Eagles even Petula but there is a dissonance and I do not from where it is coming.

aaaah, frisbee, the ocean and Linda Ronstadt. Life doesn't get any better unless and until she begins to sing and it's pure bliss .............. never get tired of this video or Linda.

You could download full of this album! Do you think?

I would like someone to show me a photo of a ticket where they paid $200 to see Linda Ronstadt. I can think of one instance where a show was that expensive, and it was for charity. I am fairly certain that if Linda ever charged $200 or more for an appearance, it was for a benefit concert.

i like the way she takes over the song from the begining and acorse she is very hot

I have never seen this video before. Her record company was ahead of its time! thanks.

She is a Goddess. For better or worse... She helped turn my pre-teenage fantasies into dreams.
(hmmm, I'm sure what that means, but I could never get those stains out of my sheets;)

One thing I don't miss about those days was having to wear a suit to the beach.

None of these posts have to do with this song....?!

@Thepast2012 "People are generally bored by, or afraid of, things that they are not intelligent enough to understand." -bookguitarguy :O)

@Thepast2012 Well, thanks for enlightening us with that...well... that nothingness. :O)

@SilverFox466 I've got to crash-I'm on the east coast, and it's 1:45AM. But have a good evening, and I'll be glad to discuss it further some time-though I'm moving, & have to finish by Monday so will be pretty busy packing and putting stuff in storage for the next two days... Talk to you again-take care. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict-that one I've researched heavily, & could go on about it for an hour but too tired right now. Remember the USS Liberty!! (Lyndon Johnson was an evil scumbag:O).

@SilverFox466 FWIW, the number comes from UNICEF & other relief agencies-but who knows? The total was allegedly 1,000,000 (including adults), & the reason I trust the 500,000 children figure is bc Albright did not in any way question it when the interviewer asked her. (See YouTube clip). I agree-sanctions are a terrible idea. My take was we wanted to inflict so much suffering on the Iraqi people that they'd overthrow Hussein. I can't justify it morally -half a million kids- totally unacceptable.

@SilverFox466 First, thanks for your service & I'm sorry that happened to you. Again we're largely responsible for providing chemical/biological weapons to Iraq, to use against Iran (because Saddam, w/all his faults did not want Iraq to become Islamic). True he used them on Kurds. I don't know much about it but British drew lines separating Kurds in Turkey from Kurds in Iraq. I believe you-they were there in '91-but were destroyed later acc to inspectors(?). What's your view on depleted uranium?

@SilverFox466 Sorry so long. The YouTube/Albright clip is "Madeleine Albright - The deaths of 500,000 Iraqi children was worth it". If I were Iraqi/Muslim, & half a million kids died (out of a population of 23 million), I'd be **EXTREMELY** angry if the Sec of State of the country responsible had said that!! We destroyed water treatment facilities (& lots more) in Desert Storm-then prevented their repair w/sanctions-& KNEW that people were dying (typhus, dysyntery, etc). Much worse than 9/11 IMO

@SilverFox466 I believe evil is fear based, like I said before (about love etc). It's easy to love others when we have enough food/water/shelter/love, but when we're fighting for survival, we can rip one anothers' throats out. I don't think this is a "Christian" nation in any way, for reasons i mentioned before-greed, materialism, irresponsibility, abortion, alcoholism/drugs, lying, etc. Yet we tell others how to live!! Never satisfied-stole continent (Manifest Destiny?)-now want mideast OIL??!!

@SilverFox466 True-there's much we don't know. If Taliban is evil, so is feminism (abortion, divorce, sexual promiscuity, STDs, no fathers, drug/alcohol addiction, gangs, etc). Opposite extremes regarding women-I think. I no longer call myself "Christian"-though I respect Jesus' teachings. OT Hebrews slaughtered thousands (inclu women/children), claiming God told them to-I don't buy it. Fundamentalism started w/them. "Christians" killed native Americans-people use religion 2 justify many things

@SilverFox466 I don't see it that way, but I respect your right to your view. I think evil is in everyone (& good), & the 500,000 children who died in Iraq in the 1990s as a direct result of our bombing/sanctions (causing epidemics), was MORE than enough justification -from their perspective- to kill 3,000 Americans. Of course 9/11 was terrible, & those who died did not deserve it-but neither did those kids. Wish they'd hit Bush 1/Madeline Albright ("we think it's worth it")'s houses instead.OIL

@SilverFox466 Assuming our government wasn't involved, I don't blame the Taliban one bit for "taking the war to America", since, as you said, fighting in your own land sucks. Taliban fought USSR for 10 years to drive THEM out of Afghan, then after Cheney/oil company negotiations w/Taliban (about building a pipeline from large oil deposits in the Caspian Sea area through Afghan, to the Persian gulf) broke down, they became our enemy. I don't trust govt (Dem/Rep) as far as I can throw the bastards

@SilverFox466 As for Sharia, I'm not interested in Islam, but Israel/Zionism/"Christian" Zionism is what's turned Arabs/Muslims against the US since 1948. The "chosen people" who were born in Europe & the US decided they could steal a country from people who were born there, because "God gave it to us 2000 years ago". Religious fundamentalism sucks-Islamic, Christian, or Jewish. Right-wing wackos in Israel/West Bank are violent, hateful PSYCHOS (esp in Hebron), but media doesn't talk about THEM!

@SilverFox466 We'd have to have democracy here before we could spread it anywhere else!!! True-the president is a tool, like many others, who sell themselves to the highest bidder w/out worrying about the "the people". "The people" in America are (generally) spoiled, uninformed (despite internet) & would rather be told what they want to hear than the truth. Esp if truth made them take responsibility for trading freedom for convenience & "security". Candidates who tell the truth are unelectable!!

@SilverFox466 We may have to agree to disagree on this, but I'm starting to see less & less difference between "government" & "corporations". It seems to come down to money & power. Eisenhower's "Military-Industrial Complex"-very real-now seems to be a "Government-Corporate Complex". Bomb/invade other nations that have resources we want (using "moral" reasons as an excuse), install puppet governments, get control of resources, make billions, "modernize" natives, & open new markets for corporate$

PS I agree-some corporations are better than others- but at the risk of sounding like an "ultraliberal," I think the whole concept of "jobs" is artificial-almost a form of slavery. Other animals, & people for many thousands of years, had to acquire their own food, build their own shelters, make their own clothing, etc, & life was not w/out danger, but they were a lot more "free" than we are! Now wealthy buy land, & "let" us live on it if we pay them enough. Independence & pioneer spirit are gone

Maybe they'd like to pay the truck drivers even less... but at some point they'd just quit. Since they can't afford to live on $3/hour, or whatever, companies paying $3/hr to drivers in other countries have higher profits. Greedy developers/banks/landlords etc inflate the price of homes/rentals, food/med costs are ridiculously expensive (fighting the urge to use caps :O), & we can't maintain our spoiled standard of living unless we make x amt of money-so can't compete w/workers overseas. Peace.

@SilverFox466 You make some good points. I'm a vet too-& support the troops but disagreed strongly w/the invasion of Iraq. I fully recognize the right of others to disagree-& oppose censorship. I'm a big fan of Linda Ronstadt-so was defending her-though if I'd spent $200 for a ticket I'd probably want her to sing rather than talk too! I hear you on government regulation. I also think "we've" priced ourselves out of the market by rising cost of living-food/rent/insurance-GREED-& now can't compete

@SilverFox466 I wish you well. I was only responding to incorrect statements you made about what Jesus taught-etc. Most of us wish we had $200 to spare to go to a concert for a few hours, then complain because the artist made political remarks that we did not agree with. I stick to my belief that greed/"corporate America" (practically the same thing) destroys community, makes people dependent on them, kills small business, lies/manipulates people, promotes war, & worships money/"the bottom line"

@Lindawatcher :O))

@SilverFox466 Not certain but I don't believe 10% tithing comes from Jesus. You can give/not give whatever you want-just don't distort Jesus' words or you will be called on it. "If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me." (God/love/people, or MONEY). Spend your money however you want (priorities)- "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also" Also, self-defense/nationalism are NOT the same.

@SilverFox466 The TRUTH is that Jesus did not advocate killing ANYONE, taught us to FORGIVE one another, and SPECIFICALLY refuted "an eye for an eye", when he said, "You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye', but I say to you...". I don't hate you, & I'm sure you're sincere, but do some studying before accepting the corporate/mainstream/ultraconservative/Pharisee viewpoint hook, line, & sinker. It's hard to have cherished illusions shattered -I know- but you'll benefit in the long run

@SilverFox466 You're misinformed. Jesus does not "teach that a nation has the right to defend itself"-you're thinking of Old Testament Judaism! Unfortunately many "Christians" have been brainwashed by their churches (organized religion-NOT Jesus) to believe they are the same. He wasn't killed for AGREEING w/Judaism-but for overturning it!! The "Good Samaritan" idea opposes nationalism-ALL are God's children, not just the people of YOUR country. Not calling you a Nazi-but Hitler was patriotic too

She must have dropped the last one...but she's adorable whether she catches it or not!!! :O)

@SilverFox466 Lastly-on donations, anyone who can pay $200 to have someone sing them some songs can give MORE to help the less fortunate, "made in the image & likeness of God". Jesus was CLEAR on this-if you haven't done it to the least of them, you haven't done it to HIM. Corporate, pro-war "Christian" culture is an absolute MOCKERY of what Jesus taught (& supports what he died for-ie greed, arrogance, selfishness). "You cannot worship God & money", you will hate the one & love the other. Peace

@ronstadtfanaz Hmmm. Now I can't help but wonder how beautiful her breasts would have looked if we could have seen her reach for that frisbee while she was naked... Sigh... Another unfulfilled fantasy. It'll take me days to get that one out of my head... :O)

@SilverFox466 Yes-I "do" hate corporate America-though I'm not an ultraliberal (against abortion/feminism). Jesus was NOT a capitalist!! More to the point, corporations may "give us jobs", but that's only after they destroy small business (heart of America), gain monopolies/near monopolies, reduce our independence as human beings to make us dependent on THEM, & create a class war by putting WAY too much power/money in the hands of a few. Serfs competing for their "jobs" can't live independently.

@SilverFox466 Uh, no...I did NOT say Linda was "morally equivalent to Jesus". I implied that many Christians are HYPOCRITES (fact), who like to "talk" about Jesus & their "personal relationship" w/him, but it is not reflected in the way they live, & they IGNORE many of his teachings. Ie, the ones that are not convenient for them. That's why so many people are sick to the point of vomiting of hearing them preach to us. Advocating invasions/bombing other nations/pursuing wealth is NOT Christian!!

@bookguitarguy Oops...my bad...of course, JFK was assassinated before this video was made...but she may not have learned to hate the right-wing Texas warmongers/CIA who killed him, yet-believing the phony Warren Commission Report as much of the country did at the time. HL Hunt, CIA, Lyndon Johnson-warmongers and oil folks who didn't want ANY restrictions on their profits and greed-either moral restrictions, legal restrictions, or otherwise.

@SilverFox466 Why don't some of you elitist right-wingers take your $200.00, & give it to a church/other organization that can assist people in need- rather than indulging yourself in an expensive concert ticket, whining about it, & then singing to Jesus on Sunday while people suffer and starve in the streets?? :O| Maybe Linda thought that spoiled, corporate types, who could pay $200 to be entertained, needed to hear her viewpoint the most!!! :O)

Just another ignorant neocon hypocrite. Do you hear anyone asking your opinion of Linda's politics?? I don't either. :O)) Clowns like you can interject politics into a MUSIC VIDEO forum, but a singer can't interject politics into her act?? As if you clowns have ever criticized right-wing artists for speaking out in FAVOR of wars & other right-wing policies!!! As if you clowns have ever criticized right-wing artists for speaking out against liberal presidents!!! As if 60s music was apolitical!!!!

@bambi3331 Run along, Bambi... Go play in the forest, before a hunter blasts your cute little head off and makes stew out of you... :O)

@tm101959 Yes, I love her too. Of course, she couldn't hate Bush back then-because he hadn't yet been appointed President!! Or lied to us, or turned the world against America, or invaded countries illegally, or killed thousands of people, or taken away our privacy and other freedoms with the "Patriot" Act. And John F. Kennedy hadn't been assassinated yet by right-wing wackos/warhawks, either... Yes, she certainly was beautiful and innocent back then, wasn't she??

This is a Dylan song

@marasu66 --- I couldn't agree with you more!! Two of my favorite things here......

@402maypo Thanks!

@1f5sda thats John Byner. A comedian from the 70's who didn't last into the 80's

What a really interesting sound on this particular cut. It's early Dylan mixed with the Beatles St. Peppers sound. Wow. Linda Ronstadt has always had amazing taste!

haha the intro was so funny

wow this is a long time ago and a music video so cool!

If I'm not mistaken, Linda looks to be in her early thirties, or sometime in her twenties. But all in all, Linda looks very nice at such a young and has a great voice (still does to this day) in this video. By the way, who is that man she is hanging out with?

Je suis surprise par la modernité de cette chanteuse. Linda Ronstadt a une voix en or... Et puis c'est une chanson de Dylan, belle association =)

Wow. what a great early film. I LOVE this..on the beach, playing frisbee, the California coast. John Byner. Thanks so much for sharing this.

never heard this one before. What a treat. Nobody can take her place

Let's all step lightly around the glass house ghampton106 obviously occupies

Thats Corona del Mar, CA! I live 2 blocks up the street! the spot is so nice, people get married there every often. funny, there is a 20ft cliff u have to climb down and no stairs, brides do it in their dresses.

That's SunLight

@deltalady72 it is from her first solo album, "Hand Sown...Home Grown" released in 1969...

Her only fault...her relationship with Gov. Moonbeam..other than that she is a vocal talent without equal

Great stuff. Thanks for posting this. Linda is a legend. Wish she'd sing those pre-Nelson Riddle songs again.

@jtlecreek You said it! Even though I haven't heard all of her songs, I think she sounds beautiful no matter how long ago it has been.

When was this released?

@SilverFox466 We all have the right to express our opinion about anything, she is no exception. If you don't like free speech, you could trying living in China and work for some subsidiary of Walmart, I guarantee you'll have no free speech there. Or you could live in Colombia, there, if you open your mouth about worker's rights, the goverment-backed paramilitaries will "disappear" you. If these are your ideal for a free and democratic society, then I suggest moving.

Linda sure seemed a lot more confident in her early years. Usually it's the other way around!
