Adult Contemporary
Linda Ronstadt

Linda Ronstadt has established one of the most impressive careers in the history of contemporary music. As one of the more beloved singers of our generation, she has broadened the latitudes of the pop singer, expanding the vocalist's canvas to include country, rock n' roll, big band, jazz, opera, Broadway, Mexican and Afro-Cuban influences, leaving no stone unturned in the pursuit of the ultimate song. She has had worldwide album sales of more than 50 million, and countless gold, platinum, and Grammy award winning records to her credit. Linda Ronstadt began her pop career in 1967 with the Stone Poneys. With 30 albums under her belt, and countless sold out tours across the globe, she has snagged ten Grammys along the way, releasing classic albums such as Heart Like A Wheel, Hasten Down The Wind and several other critically acclaimed forays into waters not usually chartered by a pop star of her magnitude. Her stylistic ventures into Mexican music, Big Band classics, and pop standards solidified her reputation as one of America's premier songsmiths. We find her constantly challenging herself as she interprets material from some of rock's most profound songwriters. "When I choose a song," she says. "I have to feel it could be about me or about my experiences, or someone close to me." Linda Ronstadt continues to tour the world.
