LINDA RONSTADT
Name: Linda Ronstadt
Also known as Queen of Rock
Born: 15 July 1946 Tucson, Arizona, United States
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.
Ronstadt has recorded studio albums in many genres outside of the rock and roll
field and is known throughout the music industry as one of the most versatile,
durable, and commercially successful female singers who has ever recorded
popular music. Branching out, she has recorded Traditional Pop, mariachi, jazz,
folk, Broadway and Opera. However, her most commercially successful period was
the 1970s and 1980s. As she moved on to other genres in the 1980s she maintained
her consistent commercial success, and remained one of the best selling female
album artist of the 1980s. Ronstadt has 27 top 100 albums, 10 of which have
reached top 10, and three of those hit the top of the Billboard 200 pop album
chart. She also has 21 Top 40 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, 10 of which have
reached the top 10, three peaking at No. 2, and one No. 1 hit, You're No Good.
