Long Long Time - Linda Ronstadt | The Midnight Special

[@kreynolds6632]

She just stands there, no pretense, no show biz, no pneumatic body parts on display, and unleashes that Voice....and it goes straight to my heart. Thank you Linda.

[@hitmanhalley]

Linda Ronstadt had one of the strongest female voices that I’ve ever heard in my lifetime. Her delivery was just flawless. Still have chill bumps even after the video ended 5 minutes ago!❤

[@gergemall]

Perfection always ❤

[@lnl3237]

Just have to chime in that I couldn't agree more.

[@rednaxelahcitorfaznebo2830]

There's only one Linda Ronstadt. She's my favorite female singer of all time !

[@pkoven]

i've been listening to this song for 45 years, and even today when she hits that last "thing i know" it still send a chill up my spine

[@gustavinok4685]

Glorious pipes. Strength and warmth. No one did heartbreak like Linda. We believed every note.

[@art4ever565]

She is every note ❤️😊

[@alexdesoufer]

I think that almost everybody loves Linda Ronstadt! She is certainly the most important female singer of all times and she deserves all our caress.

[@tjwash2]

I'm a huge and vocal fan. Because I profess my love of her music, I often run into people who don't like her. A boyfriend told me she was shrill and he can't stand to hear her voice. I was shocked!

[@vernsmith7821]

@tjwash2 your BF needs a hearing test!

[@KittyGrizGriz]

Ooof, this beautiful song always invokes such sadness ~ deep feelings. Linda could sure pull us in & take us along on her journey.

[@weesejr]

It was my Mom who brought Linda Ronstadt into the house. She liked the music, and I liked the album covers.

[@rickneal4967]

Will never listen to this song again without crying. Thanks a lot The Last of Us....

[@themidnightspecialtvshow]

Us too. what a scene

[@RaynorBear]

... same here. The tears are falling as I write this looking at Bill & Frank as my PC wallpaper.

[@WhoDey6886]

I loved everything about this performance, the setting the lighting the arrangement and especially Linda’s voice being impeccable ❤️ what a woman

[@SteveOvsFidel]

the pedal steel replacing the string section is so interesting. what a different flavor it gives

[@bondfool]

I really prefer it. I always found the strings too saccharine.

[@Buffetgangster]

Been in love with Linda over 50 years.

[@pasqualedevitto5569]

Me too!!!!

[@toliu4u]

I am falling in love with Linda!

[@kristensorensen2219]

👏👏🎉Linda's kicking it!❤

[@jimymac]

Heartbreaking and uplifting, some songs are made for certain singers. Perfection

[@vernsmith7821]

And she sings with all her clothes on!!! Imagine that!!!! Her songs and her voice are pure magic.

[@ChuckSchickx]

Absolute top shelf. 🔥

[@twa9999]

Her self titled album cover from 1971 was simply mesmerizing. And Hasten Down the Wind needs no commentary.

[@scasey1960]

Truly amazing performance. Pure talent, just music.

[@ChicagoAstronomer]

The guy in the yellow front...is mesmerized by her......as I am all these decades.

[@gingermurray]

Powerful vocal. Hauntingly beautiful song 🎶

[@jacksonfl]

Age 75 here. Still takes my breath away.

[@charlesmcintyre8142]

71 and a half

[@GerardRenwick]

Excellent, Excellent, Excellent. Oh yes and Excellent!

[@ravenbaa7989]

I heard this song growing up in the 90’s on my moms old tapes. It is our song❤

[@larryp5024]

I'm 73 in 2024 as I post this. The weekly TV show " The Midnight Special" was must see TV back in the day. To this day I still love my gal Linda. ❤

[@rodewerk5034]

Thank you Midnight Special.

[@samuelgates5935]

I remember this song when I was 7 years old. Linda's voice was soooooo beautiful ❤️ Powerful at the same time.❤️❤️❤️

[@thevoid99]

if this performance doesn't put a tear in your eye. you have no heart and soul.

[@suzanneartist1026]

Just beautiful

[@wandson5410]

Oh beautiful song

[@douglasmcconnell8116]

Timeless , Beauty & What a voice.. ❤

[@dvardeman]

My all time favorite singer

[@randyventresca4152]

I love you, Linda...that's all. ❤

[@johnmitchelljr]

Nobody could tug at your heart like Ms. Ronstadt. Thank you.

[@JohnMeyer-nn3nq]

Beautiful, beautiful and beautiful.the voice of an angel.god bless linda. She was the soundtrack of my life.

[@justaswell223]

Other girl singers bore me to death. Linda Ronstadt remains in constant rotation for me. Great tunes, great bands, joy and sorrow, rockin' and crooning- there is so much in her music catalog. Here she's bringing on the heartache. Real, clear and authentic. Sigh...

[@beauxlee3378]

Yes indeed.

[@briantruitt5218]

She is a Goddess.

[@DefaultModeNetwork]

It's telling in a way... but first, Linda Ronstadt was THE female star back in the 70s, beautiful, amazing singer, and amazing person. Take a look now and see her beautiful face at 1:05 in the vid with very little make up, clothes that were not a ridiculous costume showing, well way too much, and singing with an all natural voice. No wonder all us guys loved her. Nuf said.

[@that70sgirl90]

Beautiful... ❤️ My favorite Linda Ronstadt song. Thank you for sharing! 💖

[@WhoDey6886]

Wow just wow

[@renatamusic796]

Linda Ronstadt is the best. 💗

[@ylekiote99999]

There are two kinds of men in this world.....Those who had a crush on Linda Ronstadt, and those who never heard of her.

[@lostinmybackyard2006]

Willie Nelson said "those who were in love with her and those who were dead."

[@RocRizzo]

❤❤❤ Linda Ronstadt.

[@DJMike-1000]

That's gonna be the best thing I've watched today! A master performance, Linda cut through the superb band with her voice was perfection 👌, oh and that gravel in the vocal omfg!

[@susieq9801]

She sang so naturally, no effort and any style, folk, Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, rock...all of it superb. So tragic she was stuck by Parkinson's.

[@JorgeTorres-nk5gw]

Que bella y su voz mágica .

[@Main.Account]

This needs more views!

[@donimagalhaes]

Ninguém canta essa música como ela. Que mulher incrível.

[@TenderheartTreasuresKy]

🥰 perfection

[@davidmatthews4217]

Love wounds can come from spouses, relatives, friends, or church friends you loved and trusted.

[@sampedigo6353]

My life's story love is always in vain 4 me thank God he watches over me

[@ravenbaa7989]

❤😢

[@davidrawzen8232]

'Eagles'- one of the greatest backing bands... )

[@Drutato]

But it is not the Eagles players backing her on this Midnight Special performance. Does anyone know who the players are backing her on this show?

[@MikeEchoNovember]

@@Drutato "Swampwater" One of her early backing bands. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4DRoKOdicR3qZI

[@Drutato]

Thanks!

[@rickmacdonald4927]

@@Drutato Ed Black - steel, Richard Bowden - guitar, Mike Bowden - bass and I’m pretty sure that’s Mickey McGee - drums. They’re not Swampwater but came after.

[@Drutato]

@@rickmacdonald4927 thank you!

[@danehereford4458]

Have you ever checked other notable people with your birthday? She's mine❤.

[@pamcornelius9122]

Mine is Marlene Dietrich.

[@warrenmohar7197]

the pedal steel gives it a different tone, more "country" than the original version with the harpsichord, but the beautiful, powerful voice is still the same

[@TwasNeverThus2]

anyone know the names of who accompanies her here? thanks :-)

[@Alomagenchannel123]

เสียง Padel steel นั้น ยิ่งทำให้เข้ากับเพลง ช้า คนเล่นต้องเก่งมาก

[@johnf8877]

Back when women were strong but feminine. No jumping up and down squawking about “where my fone….”

[@MinkSnopesJJZ109]

Needs some autotune.

[@lostinmybackyard2006]

And some cowbell
