Linda Ronstadt 1969 to 1989 On Track - Daryl Richard Lawrence - Bog

Linda Ronstadt is one of the most important women and people in the history of popular music. Starting her solo career in 1969, she redefined what a music superstar could be by expanding her repertoire from her country rock roots, crossing over to mainstream success with pop music, and then evolving into operetta, American jazz standards, and mariachi. This work provides a track-by-track breakdown of the first twenty years of her solo career when her output totalled an amazing 17 albums. Transcending genres and applying her own vision to not only her career, but each song she interpreted, Linda Ronstadt garnered a wide fan base and left shattered records in her wake. Those familiar with her work, as well as those entirely new to it, will find something to discover through this analysis of her work through 1989. All the best-known hits are covered in this volume; however, the real fun is finding new favourites by visiting or revisiting lesser-known works. So sit back, put some of her songs on, crack this book open, and indulge in the voice that sold over 100 million records worldwide.
