No other vocalist has had a more diversified career than Linda Ronstadt.
She began her career in the mid-1960s with the folk-rock group the Stone Poneys. After the
break-up of the Stone Poneys, Linda entered the country music field. In 1969, with
the release of Hand Sown... Home Grown, Linda became the first
female singer to release an alt-country album. Linda achieved her greatest commercial success in the mid-1970s when she became the first female rock superstar and the top-selling female vocalist for that decade. During this period, she became widely known as The Queen of Rock and The Queen of Country Rock. Achieving superstardom during the '70s, Linda went on to sell an even greater number of albums in the '80s than she did in the '70s. |
