The combination of a hearty work ethic and prolific artistry earned Linda Ronstadt a revered status in the Seventies that’s unfortunately dissipated somewhat over the course of time. But that’s partially due to her purposeful efforts beyond the mainstream scope of pop/rock–in the fields of opera and the traditional Spanish music of her heritage–and also because she stopped performing somewhat unexpectedly in 2013 due to her affliction with Parkinson’s disease. Her rise to comparable heights of success wasn’t the lightning-fast arc of the overnight sensation, but instead, a slow rise to well-earned fame based on the consistently high-quality of her records and regular touring in support of them.
