Long, Long Time - by Ron Kalmakoff 

I am actually having trouble in showing proper appreciation for this rendition of Miss Ronstadt's great hit. Well done sir. I have listened to many covers and you have earned a place right up there with the original. Again, well done and thumbs up

❤ Episode 3 of the last of us brought me here 😢😢

The best cover version of Linda's Long Long Time. Brilliant!

Voice of an angel with a great vibrato

Here I found a version that probably close to sound of Bill from the Episode 3 of Last Of Us 😌 Thanks for this version 🙏

How come this has only 8k views over 6 years?!?! I'll listen to this once a day at least

Lo siento para los que no les guste mi comentario, no tengo mala intención hacia nadie, he escuchado esta canción por varios autores, de todas esta es la más bonita, posiblemente a otros les guste más las otras, para mí está es perfecta, en voz sentimientos... Felicidades, saludos, tiene un tono de voz fantástica.

Hello from Ghana,Africa am the daughter of a voice coach/opera singer.I believe you have the purest ,most beautiful voice ,I’ve heard in an while. When I was growing up in Washington, We used to visit British Columbia .I love it there.

Man I've been listening to this on a loop for the last 16 hours.

Beautiful! ❤

wow.

I thought only Linda Ronstadt could do this song but Ron,you did a magnificent tribute to my girl! You have a bit of Aaron Neville in your voice and that's a good thing, I know Linda would agree. I'm going to search more videos of you. Keep it up!

Your rendition could easily be the soundtrack for TLOU ep 3! Beautiful singing!

Weird! I haven't stopped listening to your version of Long time! It's okay, she's beautiful! Best wishes, Ron!

Te encontré en Instagram... Y aquí estoy...embelezada por esa voz tan calma. Amé esta canción!!

Your voice, the video I love❤❤❤thanks for the music❤

Never when listening your version of this love song , without thinking of (I am) gonna love the song , for a long long time!!!

What a wonderful cover ! What an incredible voice ! Beautiful phrasing ! You made it your own ! Bravo !

Beautiful version Ron , thank you 👍👍

BEAUTIFUL VOICE and Solid CLEAR Audio! I came here from knowing this song in The Last of Us HBO (Bill & Frank Episode).

I was crying even before the first verse.

Ron, you sure can sing my friend. My wife loves you as well.

Beautiful. My pick for the best version by a male vocalist.

Wow❤❤❤❤❤

What a Fantastic voice!😍

beautiful voice. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful! This is the only time I’ve truly believed a rendition of long long time had the rite to exist. Sometimes, certain things just shouldn’t be touched but, admittedly so, you’ve done the impossible. And I’ve got to say this: how can a average regular ass dude like myself possibly imagine what it’s like to have a voice like this? What I would do for such a gift….. beautifully composed and I agree with the comments, you have a sound I’d describe as ‘effortless grace’ Absolutely and completely pure, brah! Thank you for sharing your gift… I can’t even imagine having that ability. I know ida mos def gotten that special girl, the one that never got away cuz I never could crack the code. But, gimme that voice and I’d have figured how to get inside. Respect my man!!!! Nuthin but respect!

This is really beautiful, props!

This is a masterpiece

Been listening to every cover of this song thats out there since I heard it on "The Last of Us". Still crying my heart out.

This beautiful version is right up there with Linda Ronstadt's! Wonderful!

Hi,I'm from Indonesia 🇮🇩I ❤this song,like the sound from far ..far ..far away come up from heaven

soothing voice.. Wonderful...

I am surprised to hear an older male singer song it so well.👍👍👍

last of us bought me here.i like your version most.thank you!

Love will abide, take things in stride Sounds like good advice But there's no one at my side. And time washes clean, Love's wounds unseen That's what someone told me But I don't know what it means. 'Cause I've done everything I know To try and make you mine And I think I'm gonna love you For a long, long time. Caught in my fears Blinking back the tears I can't say you hurt me When you never let me near And I never drew, One response from you All the while you fell All over guys you never knew 'Cause I've done everything I know To try and make you mine And I think it's gonna hurt me For a long, long time. Wait for the day You'll go away Knowing that you warned me Of the price I'd have to pay. And life's full of flaws Who knows the cause? Living in the memory Of a love that never was 'Cause I've done everything I know To try and change your mind And I think I'm gonna miss you For a long, long time. 'Cause I've done everything I know To try and make you mine And I think I'm gonna love you For a long, long time... 💞

It’s hard to come up with the right words. Beautiful voice and music, but really, you are absolutely wonderful.

Excellent!

Estou apaixonada pela sua voz, ❤🇧🇷

Well done Ron

Your rendition of this Linda Ronstadt original made me tear up. 😢

I have never subscribed to a channel this quickly before , thank you making an old man cry.

Voz de ángel .I love you ❤

Thank you Ron for this beautiful rendition, I've played it over and over and the tears flow each time. In the ease with which you express the painful experience of unrequited love, allows for a gentle and calm release of one of life's many sorrows, leaving aside the bitterness that can come with unfulfilled expectations. The words, the melody are intense and the lived experience of love not returned, almost a bit shameful, but your beautiful voice and artistic video gives one strength to remain soft; not allowing the heart to harden and by not offering resistance to the wounding, one can find healing through acceptance.

One of my favorite songs since the 70's. Not a easy song for a man to sing, vocally and emotionally but you did it justice. Thank you!

I get Aaron Neville vibes from this. Beautiful!❤

It seems that time erases many things, but not Long long time) I'm a Metallica fan)) I listen to you again and again! This is very cool! Thank you!

God bless you, dear Ron! Thank you for this beautiful music and thank you for your sweet and peaceful voice!
