Linda Ronstadt is a musical legend who began her career in the mid-1960s with the folk-rock group the Stone Poneys. By the 1970’s she’d become the top-selling female vocalist for that decade, and was widely referred to as “The Queen of Rock”. She has earned 11 Grammys, released numerous gold, platinum and multiplatinum records, and lent her voice to over 120 albums. Over the years she has collaborated with such diverse artists as Billy Eckstine, Frank Zappa, Flaco Jiménez, Philip Glass, Dolly Parton, Neil Young, Johnny Cash, and Nelson Riddle. Christopher Loudon of Jazz Times hailed Ronstadt as “a chameleon who can blend into any background yet remain boldly distinctive.” Her autobiography, entitled Simple Dreams: A Musical Memoir, was released in September of 2013 and reached Top 10 on The New York Times Best Sellers List in its first week out.
