Linda Ronstadt

LINDA RONSTADT’S “LONG LONG TIME” FOUND ITS WAY BACK TO OUR HEARTS In 1970, Linda Ronstadt made heartbreak sound almost unbearably intimate.

More than half a century later, The Last of Us introduced the song to a new generation. Streams soared, but its power was never about numbers. It was there all along—in the feeling of loving someone who may never love you back.

Rock. Country. Jazz. The Great American Songbook. Mexican folk music. Linda Ronstadt moved between them with a voice that seemed to belong everywhere. At the height of her rock success, she took a daring turn toward standards with Nelson Riddle.
