Linda Ronstadt September 29, 2007

Linda Ronstadt became one of the most popular interpretive singers of the '70s, earning a string of platinum-selling albums and Top 40 singles. Throughout the '80s, her sound changed with the times and trends, from "new wave" influences, to a sucessful trio of pre-rock pop albums with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra. Ronstadt's recent hits include duets with Aaron Neville and 'Western Wall: The Tucson Sessions' alongside Emmylou Harris. Best known for the hit remake of Richie Valens' 'La Bamba,' the East Los Angeles band Los Lobos incorporates traditional Mexican music with a rock 'n' roll edge. The band's latest is called 'The Ride.'
