I wish I could tell all of you what it was like to see Linda sing this live back in the 70s. You could hear people breathing because everything went completely still, no matter how big the venue was. Her voice was aching and had that elastic quality about it. She was not only a phenomenal singer--she was singer who knew how to merge fully into a song, become a song, and take you there with her. "Long, Long Time" is one of the ten greatest ballads of the entire rock era. And Brandi is right: it's a hard damn song to sing, not only because of the range and control it requires but because of Linda's indelible version. Brandi does a great job here (is she ever really bad?). Such a beautiful tribute to Linda.

Thank you, Brandi! You continue to expose new generations to the fabulous women of the past…by crediting them as being your “idols”, and by covering their songs with your own spin, young people today look into these wonderful artists (Joni, Linda, etc.)…kind of like what Luke Combs did for Tracey Chapman…you treat them with honor and respect….something sorely lacking in our world today. Again, thank you!

I remember this song caught my attention when I was just a little kid. The song had just come out. I even remember where I was. I was so young I didn’t really understand much of the song but had some idea it was about someone not returning your love. But more than that it was the beauty and the in-depth feelings the song provoked. I thought it was just me who felt the song was brilliant and heart wrenching, but as an adult I started hearing other people, even songwriters talk about how inspiring this song was to them.
