Linda Ronstadt

Linda Ronstadt — The Star Who Refused to Fit in One Box Linda Ronstadt became one of the greatest voices of the 1970s by repeatedly rejecting the safest path.

At the height of her rock fame, she defied warnings and recorded classic standards with Nelson Riddle, turning What’s New into a major success.
