By the time she reached her teens, Ronstadt and her siblings had formed a band and would play at local clubs. Commercial folk music intrigued them the most, Ronstadt writes; they would learn songs by Peter, Paul and Mary and then rearrange them to fit their own voices. Linda Ronstadt Archives

Ronstadt's childhood home was always filled with music, and vocal talent seemed her birthright. Her father "had a beautiful baritone singing voice," she says in her book, and her grandfather conducted a brass band in the late 19th century. Meanwhile, her aunt was a performer who specialized in traditional music from parts of Mexico and Spain. And her horse, well...he could talk! Linda Ronstadt Archives
