“Long Long Time” - Lauren Mascitti (cover)🌹 

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 because uTube only allows 1 thumbs up. Great job Ms Mascitti

I think if Linda heard this the tears were flowing, beautiful!

I've had a lifelong crush on Linda. Sealed even further when in the summer of '78 I had one of the sweetest loves of my life with a girl from Georgia while I was on the NC coast for the summer. Platonic (😫) though I'd have given everything for more. When we parted I was stunned, devastated and felt the first hopeless bittersweet heartbreak of my life. I immediately bought Linda's Greatest album and played Long, Long, Time at least 500 times within a week. 46 years later I'm sure I'm forgotten decades ago, but not for me, still in unrequited love. Such a sad song.

Beautiful. Singer is singer. 👍

...of Linda heard this So AMAZING

Congratulations Lauren! This is the best cover of the original sung by Linda Ronstadt I've heard till now. You have a beautiful voice and you are beautiful young lady, as well. Thanks .

Extraordinary

You channel Linda beautifully with your own wonderful voice Lauren. I'm glad she's one of your biggest heros. She's been one of my two very favorites forever. 🎵 👌❤️

Great Job Lauren !

oh God ..! How i loved to listen to this cover... Goosebumps in all my cells... I am an unconditional LInda's French fan... It's been a long long time that i hadn't felt such an emotion listening to that so beautiful song ! You sang it without betraying the spirit of it.. Thank you @Lauren Mascitti ! Much love from here 🌸💙

Gracias joven por hacerme sentir bien,la vi a usted,y vi a linda porque sentí lo mismo aquí muy dentro de mi..Que lastima quizás nunca la conoceré porque soy un hombre viejo pero usted me ha hecho feliz..Atte. victor y otra vez gracias....

Love it! Best cover of this classic I've heard. LR would be very impressed.

this is perfect timing

This is a seamless replica of Linda Ronstadt's version that topped the charts in the 1970s.

Really really good. The cry in your voice gives me chills. Brava

I never realized how many people have covered Long Long Time. But I remember a while back watching a RU-vid video of a woman singing at an outside bar and she did a great job, and ever since then the algorithm has been feeding me non-stop covers of the song. And this is not only a tough song to sing vocally, but we all have Linda singing the song rolling around in our heads by way of comparison. And I have to say that this cover is one of the best versions I've heard. Many congrats and props!!

You do beautiful Justice to Linda.

Few people can pull this song off. Excellent!!

Absolutely beautiful. Thanks

❤❤

Depois da Linda você é a melhor.❤

Hey Lauren, beautiful job as usual. I'm so grateful for your Monday gifts. As it was once written by a very wise soul, gratitude can transform our life sooner than anything else. Keep following your bliss kiddo, much blessings always.

Actual chills! I only found out about this song from the Last of Us tv series. Beautiful! You've done justice to this beautiful song.

Si me gusta , tiene clase como tú belleza❤😊😊

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!! Cara mia, couldn't make it to Nashville. Too ill to travel. Please come to Chicago's Old Town School of Folk Music. I'll send my two grandson's (18 & 22 YO) to see you and fall in love with you the way I did with Linda in the 70's. They're half Irish. Hope that's ok.

Wow! This LR classic is a graveyard for so many would-be cover versions. Most fail. But not you! The right singing style, phrasing, heartwrenching emotion. BRAVO! (Alice Wallace also does it well.) I think a cover should do justice to the original plus add something new that's distinctively yours. You pass that test! Beautiful.

I've been watching covers of this song today, and this is by far the absolute best vocal, guitar is great too, the voice is where this song needed to go, she delivered 👍💯

Brava, so Linda, so you. I loved it.

Great performance Lauren!!! Cheers from Chile!!!

That's pretty good when she gets older she'll be great keep singing that seems to be your calling

I've been in love with Linda since "Different Drum" and this is one on my favorites. BTW, I've been in love with you since the first note I heard you sing. Wonderful performance on this song. Linda would be proud.

Best cover yet! Linda would no doubt be proud!

Превосходное исполнение!!! Полное совпадение с оригиналом!!! Восхитительный голос!!! Удачи Вам во всем,красавица!!! Пишу на родном языке, плохо знаю английский!

This young lady never disappoints. Great cover, Miss Lauren!

Wow that was a beautiful take back, thanks!

Love all of your Classic Country Covers, Lauren! You have such a beautiful, powerful country voice! PLEASE do a studio album of your #ClassicCountryCovers for us and include my favorites Your Cheatin' Heart and Waltz Across Texas! 💞

Hermosa !!

Congratulations

Well done, young lady, both vocally and instrumentally!

So beautiful lauren 🌹🎸🌹

i love the color and vocal timbre in your heartfelt performance.

Darlin, I love listening to you, you already know that ❤️ You did this sooo good, of course I shared where I could. You're a special lady 🌹 🤟 xx

hermosaaaaaaaa i love

With each new entry, I'm both elated to hear another song by Lauren, but also so saddened by the fact that a real injustice has been done by RU-vid's algorhythmn which somehow keeps her away from the average viewer. While so many others who have so much less to offer continue to get thousands of views, Lauren never appears in the presented offers to play, thus noone sees her. God Bless Her that she is able to not let it affect her.

I can't believe how much you sound like Linda Rondstant. Your voice is amazing!

Beautiful and soulful ❤

Beautiful , young lady, just beautiful

W.O.W.

Crazy that you uploaded this a few days before the song blew up from The Last of Us. Great timing!

Great Job.....on such an amazing song

Very good!! You did an amazing job!! 👏👏👏

Mighty

Beautiful woman ❤ I love your music💕

What a beautiful voice, a real talent.

Beautiful!

Enhorabuena 👋

wow' I can't believe you covered that. I'm restricted from glimpsing videos on your Facebook page, and I'm so thankful I came across it here. I only wish Linda is as fortunate. She recently said; 'I can always harmonize in my head, even without music playing. That's all I can do" ..in any case, Lauren, I just can't imagine any artist but yourself doing anywhere near the justice it deserves. And for what it's worth, I was restricted on your f.b. page for being particularly harsh on someone who made an altogether hurtful comment on a picture you posted in a recording booth in Oct/Nov 2021. I am truly sorry about that, I overreacted of course, and deserved what I got. Once again, a magnificent cover here, that's something I would have certainly requested over the past 15 months if I had the opportunity. Needless to say, i feel this cover version you posted here on RU-vid today is unparalleled.. and I don't believe there is a single one that I haven't checked out. Thanks so much for sharing it here. Best of luck always, stand tall' and Keep on Dancin' 💃

Believe me it won’t affect her. Bless you

Ok 😎😎😎👍👍👍

Sounds EXACTLY like the original wow

A week ahead of schedule. But only 750 views; surprised this hasn’t blown up yet from The Last of Us. It’s an amazing cover. Maybe you need to add more tags?

Omg I hope Bill is ok.

i'm fine and you too

I heard this song from The Last Of Us

You Should Cover Fields of Gold

Can anyone help me pluck these strings? Guitar chords are not a problem, the rest somehow does not work out :(
