Linda Ronstadt

Linda Maria Ronstadt (born July 15, 1946 in Tucson, Arizona) is an American popular vocalist and entertainer who has earned multiple Grammy Awards, an Emmy Award, numerous United States and internationally certified gold, platinum and multiplatinum albums, a Tony Award and Golden Globe nominations. A singer-songwriter and record producer, she is better known as a definitive interpreter of songs. Ronstadt has recorded over 30 studio albums, and has made guest appearances on over 100 other albums. More importantly, outside of the studio and record charts, and on par with her male counterparts of the day, Ronstadt became the first solo female rock and roll artist in music history to have highly anticipated tours - coinciding with a string of highly successful albums, thus making her able to command sell-out concerts..
