@@lccast777 They are both talented artists. However, we've never seen them take on (and succeed brilliantly) at the astonishing range of genres and artistic challenges Ronstadt did. Pirates of Penzance, the ethnic music of her childhood, country, rock, American standards. It's breathtaking.
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.
Very well said ! She was an incredible artist with a mesmerizing voice that you can just get so lost in. She was nothing but pure raw talent. Classy lady.
I once wrote the words to this song to a guy who broke up with me after 2 years. I had been in love with him since the 7th grade. We didn't date until college. It was rough for me.@@robertkelly6282
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
@@gordonhaire9206 I would put her a VERY close second to Karen Carpenter-imo THE best singer of all time-male or female. Bobby Hatfield ranks up there, as well. Ronstadt is arguably the most versatile singer of all time.
She stopped performing when she felt her voice deteriorating. Later, she completely retired after being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (later changed to Progressive Supranuclear Palsy).
I saw her the first time when I was 13, at school in Tombstone AZ. The Catalina High School choir from Tucson was touring AZ schools and Linda sang 3 solos. I saw her years later, wish I could have caught her live with the Stone Poneys.
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.
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. 😁😆😃🤓☮️🌹
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
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! 👍👏🤗🙋❤️
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 :)
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.
So wonderful to find this channel and fans like you. Heard a radio interview with Ms. Ronstadt on a local NY station in the early 80's when she was on Broadway in Pirates. She said she hoped to record an album of Karla Bonhoff songs. May not have done an album, but she recorded enough. Also, love "Lose Again." Enjoyed this reaction. Liked that the song played through before commenting. Thank you.
"LONG LONG TIME" was written by Gary White 1970. Sadly Linda has progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) forced her to retire and she can longer sing (accept to herself ). Her last show was 2009.
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 was born on July 15, 1946. Her cover of "Long, Long Time" was released in June 1970, when she was almost 24 years old. Long, Long Time (Gary B. White) 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 girls 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
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).
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!
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 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'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
Watched Linda from her early days and have always been amazed that she would sound even better in person. Truly a talent taken from us long before her time. If not for the Parkinson she would still be mesmerizing the world. You mention her "Hitting" into the note. This is a process that is refereed to as Sliding and only the best singer have that talent.
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.
i’m glad i’m not the only one who can’t control there emotions when some one singing so genuine , and passionate expresses perfectly threw the music and lyrics rips your heart rite out
There's a documentary on RUclips. 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
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 - RUclips
What an incredible singer with such talent and natural style to her vocals - makes you want to hear more of her music no matter what it is. A fan of hers since the 60s!
Linda Rondstat’s voice takes you on a journey with her. She makes you feel something mixed with the beauty of her soul coming through each and every note. 8:07
I regard Linda Ronstadt as the greatest female singer of the latter half of the 20th century. Almost any song of hers which you review will be a winner. Your evaluation of her voice is right on the button. She has covered a number of songs by other artists and, in my opinion, her version is usually better than the original and that is a very rare talent. An excellent example is "Tracks of My Tears" originally done beautifully by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles (1965) but Linda makes it her own. That song is my suggestion to you, Angela, and if you play it, I'll be even happier that I am subscribed.
Linda along with Cass Elliott and Karen Carpenter made up the greatest female vocalists in the history of pop music. Just breathtaking. And this song has pride of place in my "Catharsis" playlist, for when I get really depressed. Oh, and Angela... your "big brother" is a fool. An intelligent, thoughtful and stunningly beautiful woman like you, and he rejected you? There's no excuse for that!
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!
@@tjwash2 Yeah, Tell It Like It Is came out in 66 when I was a freshman in college. Always enjoyed his music as well as Linda's. They definitely made a great duet.
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.
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!!!!
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.
I saw you looking back in your mind's eye as she was singing, then closing your eyes and looking away from the old images. Finally, your head nodding "yes" at the end.
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
My "baby" sister was born five years after me. I was only 16 when I started my senior year and 17 when I graduated. That meant she was 11 for most if my senior year and six years behind me. After graduating, I joined the Air force. Every two or three years, I'd take a month of leave and come back to Michigan to visit. I was always amazed because in my mind, she was still that little 6th-grader. I was shocked when she asked me to come home and walk her down the aisle. My "baby" sister was getting married!!!
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
He also said "Roll me up and smoke me when I'm gone" 😂
Totally had a crush on her.
I fall into the former, she is amazing and always has been
@@jmiddleton7961 doesn't mean he was wrong about Linda, just sayin...
I know the quote. How she used her gift to to fight, till now, for equity, justice & diversity. Hall of fame character.
The most beautiful female voice on the planet.
Not many female singers can move me the way Linda does, she has a simply gorgeous voice! Love your channel!!
Oh yeah!!!
Well what about Beyonce or Jennifer Lopez Huh??!!😂😂😂
@@lccast777 not even close
@@lccast777 They are both talented artists. However, we've never seen them take on (and succeed brilliantly) at the astonishing range of genres and artistic challenges Ronstadt did. Pirates of Penzance, the ethnic music of her childhood, country, rock, American standards. It's breathtaking.
I tear up every time I hear this damn song
And no auto tune with Linda Ronstadt.@@SGC511
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.
Top 10 songs on my list
Devastating is the right word. This rips your heart out and leaves it there in the bust by the side of the road.

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.
Unfortunately, I never had the chance to hear her live but I've often said I'd pay to hear her sing the phone book.
Karen Carpenter. She and Linda are uniquely unequaled.
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.
Me as well, I too was 11 in 1967 and Linda was the Bomb!
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.

Linda Ronstadt is definitely one of the BEST female singers ever
Best singer of all time regardless of gender.
@@gordonhaire9206 I would put her a VERY close second to Karen Carpenter-imo THE best singer of all time-male or female. Bobby Hatfield ranks up there, as well. Ronstadt is arguably the most versatile singer of all time.
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.
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.
She stopped performing when she felt her voice deteriorating. Later, she completely retired after being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (later changed to Progressive Supranuclear Palsy).
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.
Definitely my favorite!
I saw her the first time when I was 13, at school in Tombstone AZ. The Catalina High School choir from Tucson was touring AZ schools and Linda sang 3 solos. I saw her years later, wish I could have caught her live with the Stone Poneys.
And 'Love has No Pride' as well. Linda was the first to reinvent herself many times over, and never failed.
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
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!
Powerful, tender, authentic original heartbreak. There were tears in Ronstadt's achingly gorgeous powerful pipes. No one else quite like her.
heartbreaking song as only Linda can deliver it.....she's amazing

Her voice? I love the smile at the key change. You get it!
Love Linda. One of the greatest of all time.

Linda had a golden voice...This was a great song...
She is a perfect singer, she's so good
Linda sings this song with all her heart and soul!
Linda was a heart throb right from "Different Drum". "Love Has No Pride" is another great one in this vein.
Love Has No Pride is one of my top two along with Long Long Time. Don't know why it has never gotten the recognition it surely deserves.
@@laminator72 Yep. Two of her best because a love song from Linda was awesomeness. : )

Long, Long Time
(Gary B. White)
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 girls 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
Gotta watch her live to witness her facial expressions and passion.
when this woman smiles, I feel things inside that I haven't felt since I was a young 35 year old.
There would be no Eagles without Linda (and other groups for that matter) I grew up watching and listening to her on TV singing with many artists.
Long, Long, Time ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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.
This one is pure heartbreak. She did another one called "Love Has No Pride" that you would probably love too.
The song was heard on the TV series The Last of Us.
Love this song. Thanks for the reaction, Angela. You're a sweetheart! 🫶🏻
There is a video on RUclips of Linda singing this live on TV and it is just as perfectly beautiful as this studio version.
The problem with that version is is that it’s missing the last verse. It was shortened for tv.

I requested this song on my local radio and they played it for me. Linda is the best female artist of the past 50 years. No doubt about that.
That voice!....Ahhhh. She emotes so well.
Enjoy your reactions , Easy for you to say, Linda Ronstsdt,
My mom said this was her teen angst song. “No one understood heartbreak and longing like a girl who’d never had a relationship”
WOW been a while....beautiful.........sad.......all that longing. great reaction.

My "baby" sister was born five years after me.
I was only 16 when I started my senior year and 17 when I graduated.
That meant she was 11 for most if my senior year and six years behind me.
After graduating, I joined the Air force. Every two or three years, I'd take a month of leave and come back to Michigan to visit.
I was always amazed because in my mind, she was still that little 6th-grader.
I was shocked when she asked me to come home and walk her down the aisle. My "baby" sister was getting married!!!
Everyone goes through “something” like that. We move through it. We just need to give time; time. Her voice is delicate but powerful.
"Living in the memory of a love that never was". Incredible lyric, and the way Linda delivers it hits you right in the feelz.
