@@danvillejim8384 I love Karen, but i beg to differ, no one is as good as Linda was. Dolly Parton even said she was the best singer she ever heard or sang with
This performance, with minimal orchestration, highlights her marvelous interpretation of the melody, and those devastating lyrics. Perfect marriage of singer and song. Thank you, Linda
The most knee-buckling heartbreak song ever recorded. Linda's first breakout from The Stone Ponies, destined to be the best in her generation- and, very likely, ever. We got to see her once, February 1971, backed by the band that would be the Eagles a few months later. Un. For. Gettable.
Nor many performers or show hosts would be so confident and modest as to relegate themselves to the role of accompanist for a guest singer and be out of frame for most of the performance. Two great talents in this video.
There is an older man over Linda’s right shoulder at about 4:30 in a turquoise shirt head bowed wiping the tears from his eyes. The emotion of the moment Linda’s singing definitely got to him like Linda’s singing effects all of us!!! Many times the third verse is cut out of the song thankfully not this time. !! Long Long Time is heartbreakingly beautiful and sad at the same time.
Bobby Darin song' If I were a Carpenter', great song. However, Linda, a voice that soars with angels! and then melts into velvet! so innocent, feminine, her Beauty absolutely STUNNING!
Beautiful, Linda. Beautiful Linda. A simpler time. And to think that if she were just getting started now, it's unlikely that she'd make it. Thank you, Linda Ronstadt for your grace.
"Long Long Time" 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 going to 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 going to 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
That's a very tough song to sing, and her being the original artist, hit those high notes with ease, no strain...wow...and just to think of how many times she performed that song with the same intense, is mind boggling.
You feel her pain. You feel her emptiness and you feel the vastness of that pain. How does a person make you feel empty and full at the same time? Her gifts are many. She doesn't just sing the lyrics she lives them. She doesn't just interpret the feeling of the song, she amasses them and they flow out of her pores. This song is so sad. The loss so painful. Beautifully written; beautiful arrangement; masterful musicians; and magnificent Linda. How we suffer with her now that she can physically no longer perform. It is a blessing we have her records. Imagine if she lived at a time where there was no technology.
This is LIVE in the TV studio, Few artists were doing that in those days, sticking to the safety of obvious lipsyncs. Even the Carpenters, though they could certainly deliver if given the chance. Beautiful song, one of her best, and there were plenty..
@@edc4052 Now that I listen back, you may be right, though at first impression the phrasing seemed to be slightly different from the recording. And where are those woodwinds coming from? If it's a lip-sync, it would mean Darin's guitar is faked, also possible. Anyway it's academic because we all know what her voice is capable of live.
When I was 22, I was suffering and depressed over a girl who looked like Amy Adams. (This was before Amy Adams was even born, of course, but that's what she looked like.) I was dysfunctional for over a year ..... Then out of the blue, I met a girl who looked like Linda Ronstadt. We married a year later. It was funny, when my older sister first met her, the first thing she said was, "She looks like that girl on that poster you used to have in your room!" Which of course was Linda Ronstadt. It was the ONLY poster I ever had on my wall.
My world was Alice Cooper, The Stooges, Black Sabbath back then... But it was hard not to see that this woman was special. When I was young just looking at her picture hurt. Physically hurt. I'm still in love with her. Ain't that silly?
No auto tune. No remixing. Nothing. She was unquestionably the best vocal talent of her generation and arguably any generation therafter.
She was fantastic but unfortunately for her that title went to Karen Carpenter
@@danvillejim8384 I love Karen, but i beg to differ, no one is as good as Linda was. Dolly Parton even said she was the best singer she ever heard or sang with
I agree ❤
Amen to that
Karen Carpenter lacked the range that Linda had. Karen leaned on lower keys . Linda could melt any man's heart. Simply Beautiful.
This performance, with minimal orchestration, highlights her marvelous interpretation of the
melody, and those devastating lyrics. Perfect marriage of singer and song.
Thank you, Linda
Linda had one of the best voices Ive ever heard in my entire lifetime of 67 years. She was extremely gifted.
No revealing clothes. Just pure voice.

The absolute best...no one comes close...
Hello nice to meet you here saw your comment how are you doing
There is one woman in the audience who has no idea that she is hearing the best mezzo-soprano ever to lend her voice to popular music.
What a beautiful song and arrangement sung by one of the greatest divas of all time ❤❤!
Not sure if she's the greatest female singer ever, but can't think of anyone better.
Eva Cassidy !
Celine Dion

Love how Bobby Darrin put the spotlight on Linda. Such a beautiful song.
I thought I’d heard every version of this song but I never heard this… wow.. the beauty and perfection is beyond compare ❤️
❤❤❤❤
This is the real McCoy
Could listen to this for a long, long time
And Bobby Darin playing the guitar. Who knew?
I Know - RIGHT!😁
I cry every time I hear her sing this.

Thank you for the hearts Doris!!!
Nobody could match her - still can't ❤️❤️❤️
Very seldom have I seen anybody sing with so much feeling. Love this.
🥰
In greatness there is always simplicity. And truth.
No frills. No posing.
Just great singing of a great song.
Bobby Darin song' If I were a Carpenter', great song. However, Linda, a voice that soars with angels! and then melts into velvet! so innocent, feminine, her Beauty absolutely STUNNING!
Wrong song. Gary White wrote that song.
I wish we still had television shows like this - great music being performed live - people *caring about music* ....times have changed....
You’ll seem later that Bobby’s left the stool. He said that she was so good he didn’t want to distract from her.
Most beautiful person and exceptional singer ❤
Beautiful, Linda. Beautiful Linda. A simpler time. And to think that if she were just getting started now, it's unlikely that she'd make it. Thank you, Linda Ronstadt for your grace.
Ya Vietnam war simple.
😯BOBBY IS PLAYING GUITAR!!😁 This Song ALWAYS Makes Me Cry!

What a treasure! Her voice is a wonder. Gave me chills and made me cry!

Had such a big crush on a girl when I was in college. This song used to tear me up. Memories from 1978...
Rips my heart out......Bless you Linda
"Long Long Time"
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 going to 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 going to 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
Thank You❣️🙏✨️
I'm the only one here because of "the last of us"? Beautiful song
What a beautiful, beautiful voice. 😊
Gorgeous, touching, musically interesting song. Exactly the song for the incredible linda.
One of the saddest songs, ever, but so beautifully sung!
Wow what a voice she had
❤❤❤❤ SHE and Karen Carpenter!!😢 Wow what a duet they would have been❤

To long ago for voice correction...the best singers are from that generation they didn't need help.....
Hello nice to meet you here saw your comment how are you doing
This is one of my favorite songs Linda’s ever done. So happy to hear it again 💜
Beautiful...my mom loved this song when I was a little girl.

Are you sure that she is singing live? Her singing sounds just like the record. I think she is singing live too, but I am not sure.

@@edc4052 Yes, LIVE!!!!!!!! Can't you here it???? LIVE!!!!!!! A GEM!!!!!!!!
This doesn’t sound at all like the record. Very different phrasing and pauses.
@@lifelover515 It's live. At about 4m45s, you can see shadows of arms waving at the bottom. ie conducting an orchestra.

breath taking!
4:20 bro was feeling it at the bottom left
Love you Linda!
Bobby Darin ❤
Have always loved this one by Linda. Brings back memories.
Nice to hear the full version ...
Best singer ever !
Especially because of all the different types of music she sang and did them ALL so well. 🎼❤️
I've listened to so many versions of this song, some very, very good, but I always come back to Linda. The Queen RNR
A true treasure. As a boy of the 70's she was a queen.
Out of this world
The simple purity of the flute in this live performance surpasses the orchestra’s strings on her record. This is my all time favorite 😂
Thank you so much for sharing this!
My world was Alice Cooper, The Stooges, Black Sabbath back then... But it was hard not to see that this woman was special. When I was young just looking at her picture hurt. Physically hurt. I'm still in love with her. Ain't that silly?
No John not at all my husband is in love with her too!
Magnifique !
beautiful big voice what can I say. Thank you Linda.
Darin and Ronstadt. What a beautiful duo.
Very smooth, imagine being such a talent in your own time being able to witness how many people you have touched with your talent.
She was beautiful to me.
Thanks for the review, definitely a nice real! And prices are going up all over I fear!
Wow one of so many great songs what a perfect tone
Was that Bobby Darin on guitar?
Hello nice to meet you here saw your comment how are you doing
I love her and always will🐈 🐈🎆
The cat is too close to the explosion of prettiness! 💟
God bless you, Linda
Wow!! That was REALLY nice
She's soooooo amazing ⚘
Stunning
Isn’t that Bobby Darin on guitar? Very beautiful.
Yes
It’s his summer show. Note that at some point his stool is empty. He was so impressed with her, he didn’t want distract from her.
Pure Talent
Моргенштерн красава , хорошо здесь спел песню Long Long Time г

Very Pointy! Go Linda!

Bobby Darin died of a heart attack. He had a bad heart and had a dental procedure but didn’t take antibiotics as he should have.
What happened to bobby darin? He was there and then he wasnt.
Is that Bobby Darin playing guitar in the intro?!
What guitar is Bobby Darin playing?
I believe it’s a Gibson.
His.
No john galler not at all my husband is in love with her too!
i try it - i promise - i try it... - but the eyes goes wet :(
Last of us
God,I love her.She has made life worthwhile to just hear her voice.
I wish there's a low-key version of this. One you can listen to before bed...
Лучше Линды , эту песню никто не спел.
The biggest lie of all,
Love’s wounds unseen,
We can “see” them in someone’s eyes as they are, the windows to our souls … 🥹
