An icon for not only female rock musicians but also the rock genre as a whole, Linda Ronstadt is a pioneering artist in the music industry, and the forthcoming documentary Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice is showcasing just how memorable she is.
Ronstadt came to fame in the ’60s folk-rock scene as the leader singer of the Stone Poneys, and from there she branched out to her own solo work and became the highest-paid female artist in rock music, winning 10 Grammy Awards out of her 26 nominations. Never compromising herself for the sake of others, Ronstadt pushed and broke limits within musical genres, altering the perception of female singers in a male-dominated industry, as well as the entire music industry of the ’70s.
