Linda Ronstadt - Long Long Time *DayOne Reacts* 

Willie Nelson once said, "there are two types of guys, those who have a crush on Linda and those who have never heard of her". AMEN

She could sing the shit out of a song

It's not only the gorgeous tone, the breathtaking technical competence, it's the way she conveys so much emotion, the emotion of the lyrics at the same time. This song is just devastating, she's just devastating. A great artist takes you on a journey you never had a clue you were about to undertake, and she takes you on an epic one here.

Not many female singers can move me the way Linda does, she has a simply gorgeous voice! Love your channel!!

The most beautiful female voice on the planet.

Just look at that baby face, and out of it comes this blasting, powerful voice. There really is no one who compares to her. She could sing the phone book and get us all high. Love it.

Songwriting aside, soul sister Linda did it all. Power ballads, rockers, classical, Spanish, broadway. Plus she was oh so cool, oh so genuine, oh so strong, oh so sexy, oh so smart. Locked it live with the boys, brought the gals together, cut across racial boundaries, backed important causes, wasn’t afraid to call out powerful people, put bands together, supported friends, loved her family. Just a great lady

Different Drum hit the airwaves in 1967, I was 11, now here we are 55 years later and I’ve still got a crush on Linda.

Listening to her late 60s when she started with Stone Poneys this may be my favorite song of hers. Absolutely beautiful! Big fan of hers.

yup, this song is a real tear jerker - one can't be helped...

Linda Ronstadt is definitely one of the BEST female singers ever

My favorite song from, in my opinion, the greatest female vocalist of all time. There are so many great ones but none with her versatility.

Powerful, tender, authentic original heartbreak. There were tears in Ronstadt's achingly gorgeous powerful pipes. No one else quite like her.

Back in the day. After DIFFERENT DRUM 1967 Linda hit with LONG LONG TIME in 1970. Ronstadt was the best. Best ever! Nothing ever stopped her.

Have you ever heard/seen Linda Ronstadt's live cover of the Rolling Stones "Tumbling Dice (LIVE?" I suspect your smile would go coast to coast with that one. 😁😆😃🤓☮️🌹

Her voice though.

Touching song about love that never came to be, sadly it hurts so bad, Great singing. !!!!

heartbreaking song as only Linda can deliver it.....she's amazing

Linda is one of the greatest female singers ever. Check out her version of "When Will I Be Loved?"

Love Linda. One of the greatest of all time.

Linda was a heart throb right from "Different Drum". "Love Has No Pride" is another great one in this vein.

Linda had a golden voice...This was a great song...

Long, Long, Time ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Effortless is the word you're looking for. It's impossible to NOT fall in love with Linda after one song.

My FAVORITE Linda Ronstadt song...she's so amazing

Love Linda Ronstadt. She is one of my all time favorite female vocalists. She has powerful pipes and sings with unbelievable emotion. You need to listen to some of her other great songs. "You're No Good", "Blue Bayou" and "Somewhere Out There" with James Ingram. BTW, James Ingram has some really great songs too... "One Hundred Ways" and "Just Once"... Please react to these songs :)

The song was heard on the TV series The Last of Us.

Linda was the most successful female singer in the 70's. She was huge. I have loved Linda for many decades. She has always been my favorite singer. Many, Many hits, amazing voice, and great songs. Love your channel, and I really enjoy watching you react.

Linda had a voice that transcends ranges.... powerful yet soft as a feather... I saw her once in a concert where she sang show tunes & she was phenomenal !! Angela you’re very perceptive when you give your opinion whether it’s the music, voice, instruments ..... but the most interesting about you Angela is no matter what style you wear your hair.... you really pull it off !! You look great & not many women can do that !! God Bless You !! 🙏🏻✝️

Linda Ronstadt can really relay the emotion of a song. This has always been one of my favorites of hers even though it wasn't a big hit. Another suggestion for her would be the song Someone To Lay Down Beside Me which was written by the great Karla Bonoff. A great performance by Linda on that one.

Linda sings this song with all her heart and soul!

One of the most powerful and beautiful voices of the 70's and 80's!!

Linda had brilliant breath control. Unlike most others, as she got older, her breath control got better.

One of the nicest people you would ever want to meet! It's just not fair how she has to suffer in her older age. just a real sweetheart!

She is a perfect singer, she's so good

Thank you! You can really hear the emotion in her voice! “Love has no pride” is beautiful, but she can really rock in songs like “It’s so easy” and “Back in the USA!” She encompasses various genres. What a talent!

That voice. It’s just electrifying.

Linda is a rock goddess

You should react to her version of Desperado . It's amazing !

There's a documentary on RU-vid. Linda Ronstadt the sound of my voice. You gonna have to buy it. Very moving. She has Parkinson's and probably won't be with us much longer

Linda's voice was so powerful.

My mom said this was her teen angst song. “No one understood heartbreak and longing like a girl who’d never had a relationship”

Linda's singing is sublime. This is a beautiful track. Thank you for the reaction. Thank you for the Ladies' Night Fridays! I'm pulling out my two Ronstadt albums tomorrow

As a victim of unrequited love I can attest to how much each line of these lyrics are so devastating and raw.

There are few women singers I like (I'm hearing impaired with high sounds) Linda is in my top 3.

It's hard to hear this without feeling the tears welling up. Same thing with Linda's rendition of "Love Has No Pride"

It seems that each string sound make to vibrate some fiber of my heart.

Beautiful song. ...great reaction.

This haunting song makes me think of the saying, "What is for you will not pass you by" ❤️

Your reaction is beautiful. Can see it in your eyes in the moment. Thank you.

Living in the memory of a love that never was 💔💔💔

Her voice is pitch perfect

There is a quality in that voice of hers that is pure beauty. It brings tears. And yes, unrequited love is awful and frustrating, becaue there isn't a thing you can do about it.

Linda can belt it out too -- she does real rock n roll stuff -- Heat Wave, Poor Poor Pitiful Me, You're No Good, all good songs. Had two what I can "perfect albums," every song was strong: Heart Like a Wheel, and Prisoner in Disguise (which is also a great song in the style of this one).

Linda and I share the same birth date July 15th, 1946. That's not why she's one of my favorite female singers, it's because of her voice and she has so much talent. Love your channel and the emotions you bring into your reactions to songs. Please keep doing what you're doing with your channel.

Linda was a force to be reckoned with, and she was tops back in the day. My Mom loved her, and I remember her singing her songs. Good memories.

I'm glad you enjoyed the song!!! It's sad and beautiful at the same time.

Agree Mr. Hennesey...she, along with Karen C. My favorite female singers from my youth.

when this woman smiles, I feel things inside that I haven't felt since I was a young 35 year old.

Her voice? I love the smile at the key change. You get it!

Living with the memories of a love that never was .. yes I know the feeling

Linda Ronstadt was my favorite female vocalist back in the day and I don't know of a single teenage guy that didn't have a crush on her. Her voice was incredibly versatile and it is a shame the MS has taken her voice from her as she loved to perform.

Bravo! You are the first I know of vto react bto one of Linda's best performances.

There is a video on RU-vid of Linda singing this live on TV and it is just as perfectly beautiful as this studio version.

Linda was one of the most astute artists ever when it came to picking the right songs to cover. . She could make any song she sang her own . . This song is by Gary White - - One most amazing to me was Linda's rendition of "Tracks of My Tears" written & sung originally by Smokie Robinson

I always thought that Gladys Knight had the greatest voice, then remembered Linda. RIP Janice.

WOW been a while....beautiful.........sad.......all that longing. great reaction.

Her rendition of Desperado is one of the best songs she has in her catalog. It is an amazing cover of the Eagles song the band let her cover. And if you know anything about the Eagles, they don't allow for many covers of their material. It also helps that she was instrumental in the formation of the band. You might also try her take on ALISON. A song by Ellvis Costello that ranks as one her best.

Loved your reaction to my fav singer of all time

Lovely old song, by the great Linda Ronstadt. Melanie (Sakfa) does a good version of this song. Angela we recently lost Donny Gerrard to cancer. I was wondering if I could request you giving a listen to "Wildflower" by Skylark. The song largely considered to be the start of/or, the first power ballad. It was also super producer David Foster first outing. It's a iconic song, from 1972, beautiful really. Of course Donny Gerrard sang lead on the song.

This one is pure heartbreak. She did another one called "Love Has No Pride" that you would probably love too.

ain't nothing like her version of Tracks of My Tears....not sure if you've commented on it or not, but it's killer.

I've responded to so many Linda Ronstadt reactions that I'm out of words. Just listen to everything of hers...she's amazing.

amazing. beautiful. meaningful. Sit down boys. girls are important. life itself

Linda Ronstadt, Joni Sledge of Sister Sledge, which by the way, I hope you play their song Lost In Music! And Patrice Rushen are among my favorite female artists of all time!

This is one of those timeless melodies like Morning Has Broken or Let It Be Me.. I think there were people in Linda's professional life that tried to steer her one way or another.. some thought she should sing standards, some thought she should be a country star, etc Ultimately, and over the course of her career, she just did whatever she felt like doing at the time and showed everybody that she could sing ANYTHING!!!!

First time I heard this on "Silk Purse" she became my favorite singer. What a voice. Thanks for adding this. For a similar heartstring tug, react to The Band's "Makes no Difference". Well done.

Tis what happens when you find out you loved him more than he loved you. Been there before n recoverd cuz time heals all wounds. Her voice delivers the sad truth. Old school music is the best! 👍👏🤗🙋❤️

Enjoy your reactions , Easy for you to say, Linda Ronstsdt,

What's amazing is that many reactors react to Linda but I don't know any that reach back into her early years like this for some of her best vocals and purest ballads. She was ELITE in everything genre she sang. If you see this Angela, please do another one from her Stone Poney years, and my favorite all time song from Linda: LINDA RONSTADT -- LOVE HAS NO PRIDE - RU-vid

What a wonderful face, Linda's cute too.

The queen of cover songs from the 70’s & 80’s. That voice. She never wrote her songs.

Near the end this song could easily have fallen into the 'weepy', crying' approach with any other singer but instead Linda doubles down, digs deep and really belts it out. Gets me every time!

There's an appearance she made on, The Midnight Special, that when she sings this song, it always gives me goosebumps, just hearing it🤘--->Woooo!!

such a great song! and oh yes what a voice!

Linda Ronstadt was given the Medal of Arts award from President Obama in 2016.

Is she amazing or what! She was every young man’s fantasy back in the day! 😎 Did you know that the Eagles were her back up band before they let out on their own.

This is the song Dolly Parton was thinking of when she wrote "I will always love you" :-)

My best friend was Lisa, we'd walk to school together in 1971, I told her I would marry her, she was the first girl I kissed, she is on her 3rd marriage, we lost connection in 1972, I found her on Facebook, I will always think of her as that friend, we grew up in a bad family, I never got married, I wish I could go back to that time again, I'll never be inlove like that again, so innocent, she was perfect

Love the harpsichord on this. Of course I LOVE Linda too. But, that goes without saying.

She hits the notes, the strings , bass, harmony, and its a message that EVERYONE can relate to. It has all the elements.

I appreciate your reaction, In waiting through the song before responding.

Great song....classic Linda Ronstadt 👍

Canciones de mi padres by Linda Ronstadt.

Love, Love, Love Linda... and oh yeah, your hair looks amazing!

You're listening to one of the past 50 years great American female singers. Top 5 for certain.

Definitely in conversation for best female vocalist.

Just love Linda Ronstadt's voice. She does a duet with Aaron Neville called Tell It Like It Is. Their voices blend so beautifully together. You'll love it!

Yes more Linda Ronstadt PLEASE DO Different Drum and HEATWAVE LIVE !!

She was one of the most emotionally perfect torch singer ever. I miss that era in time. Such a sad thing that she can no longer sing. Everything she did was phenominal
