My opinion: few have accomplished the amazing feats that Linda Ronstadt did as one of the most talented and dynamic singers in every genre of popular music! Beginning with the group “The Stone Poneys”, Linda set the stage for having more recorded hits from various genres of popular music than anyone else. Better singers? Perhaps, but no one compares to the way she “knocked it out of the park” producing her recordings. She was not a songwriter, but nonetheless she surrounded herself with exceptionally-talented songwriting friends who supplied her with songs she turned into hits. She also exceled with her own version of cover songs (e.g. “You’re No Good”). All this enveloped in a fascinating off-stage life in Los Angeles. In this lecture, rediscover Linda Ronstadt’s interpretations of Rock, Pop, Soul, Country, Folk, and The Great American Songbook! We’ll cover it all! There’s no doubt – Linda rules!
