Growing up on a ranch
outside Tuscon, Arizona, Linda Ronstadt always knew she wanted to be a
singer. Her musical family played and listened to a wide range of
styles, including opera, classical and Mexican folk music. Ronstadt
landed her first recording contract as a teenager and in 1974, released
“Heart Like a Wheel,” a mix of oldies covers and contemporary songs like
“You’re No Good” and “When Will I Be Loved.” The album hit number one
and has never been out of print in 40 years. Ronstadt went on to sell
more than 100 million records. But last year, she announced that a
Parkinson’s diagnosis had forced her to stop singing. Diane talks with
Rock and Roll Hall-of-Famer Linda Ronstadt on her career in music and
her life today.
