Sandy Bailey - Long Long Time - Linda Ronstadt Cover

I learned “Long Long Time” by Linda Ronstadt and then found out it was just on an episode of HBO’s The Last of Us. Giving into the ESP. I haven’t seen it yet but heard it’s a beautiful episode. Also starting this hashtag #lindaronstadtisababe #lindaronstadt #americanamusic #soulful_voice

[@williammcpeak8800]

Normally I would give a thumbs up and move on but this astounded me. You did a phenomenal job capturing all the emotions in this song. I saw Linda in concert in the '70's. Thank you for putting yourself out there.

[@SandyBaileyMusic]

Wow! Thank you for the compliment

[@kimberlybush2219]

You saw Linda in the 70's?!!!! Wow!!!

[@engine22emt]

You started off amazing but then you went all America Idol With the rifts and rolls Some Songs were perfect the first time. You could be great but to try and “improve” on Linda ruined this for me It was as if you were fighting to get back to some point

[@williammcpeak8800]

@@engine22emt I'm sure you are aware that Linda Ronstadt did a cover of Smokey Robinson's Tracks of my Tears. Linda didn't sing it exactly the same as Smokey but put her own twists and turns on it and both renditions have become classics. If you don't appreciate someone else's interpretation, just don't like it and move on. You were not her targeted audience, and hopefully we'll never hear from you again.

[@AllenSmith-v5s]

Wow I never knew any one could pull this song out of my heart and put it back like Linda did ❤

[@albert.g1744]

It´s not Linda but.. what a beauty! Thank you Sandy (for not hiding your talent) you make the day, more....colorful.

[@kinorspielmann4649]

Wow! There are so many bad covers of this LR classic online. But this sure ain't one of them! Great voice, great emotion, nuance. 💜 Bravo!

[@TexasWatchman]

Holy smokes. That was fantastic!

[@НурбекРахимбердин]

hello from Kazakhstan🇰🇿. Unfortunately, I found out about Linda after the series "The Last of Us". Your cover is the best, especially the climax.👏👏👏👏💐💐💐

I’ve watched / listened to a lot of these covers. This is a hard song to pay justice to Linda on. You did a phenomenal job. Thank you for this!!

[@leosemmler308]

I almost didn't listen to this because, no one, and I mean NO ONE can cover Linda. To try is futile. But you did better than I expected and better than anyone else I've heard try. Good job.

[@jlepre752]

Beautiful rendition of a classic love song, Yes it's a song of unrequited love, but a love song nonetheless. I love your twists. Subtle, but perfect. Such raw emotion there at the crescendo. Bravo Sandy. I'm glad I stumbled across you.

[@bobchristopher6928]

Fantastic performance!!! Your voice is beautiful and you have nailed this song. The dynamics and vocal attacks are wonderful. Linda never had to accompany herself on piano - you do it really well. Thank you for recording and sharing. I'm a fan.

Thank you so much!

Lyrics 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

[@SandyBaileyMusic]

Thank you!

I had just looked up this song to hear a piano tutorial and found Sandy Bailey singing. I was completely astounded by just how amazing you sounded. Your voice is incredible. I am surprised you are not a house hold name. Very glad I found this rendition. My goodness, you're so talented!!!!!!

[@steveparsons6324]

[@mikel3363]

*~ Sandy, you have such a beautiful voice w/colors and resonance (Your voice reminds me of Juice Newton, who I love!). I grew up in the 1960s - 1970s, and Linda Ronstadt is one of my absolute favorite singers, one of the Greats. Love and Best Wishes ~*

[@SandyBaileyMusic]

Thank you for the comment!

[@mikel3363]

@@SandyBaileyMusic As someone who studied voice for many years, I would respectfully add that you would need more diaphragmatic support for that high note (on "TRY and make you mine"). This song seems to be taking off, and I see it is now #1 on the Rock digital chart (from Wikipedia). Again, your voice is beautiful! BEST WISHES ~*

[@kimberlybush2219]

Beautifully sung.
