Singer. Born on July 15, 1946, in Tucson, Arizona. From a musically inclined family, Ronstadt left
college to her dreams of being a singer in Los Angeles. Although she recorded and performed with the
Stone Poneys and a solo artist for years, she finally found success with Heart Like a Wheel (1974).
The album had several hits, including “You’re No Good” and “When Will I Be Loved.” The album went
platinum—meaning it sold more than one million copies—as did her next few albums, establishing her
as a music superstar during the 1970s.
In 1980s, Ronstadt tried her hand at pop standards, working with famed arranger Nelson Riddle.
Together they put out three albums: Lush Life (1982), What’s New (1983), and For Sentimental
Reasons (1986). She also explored her Hispanic heritage by recording a Spanish-language album
Canciones de Mi Padre (1987), which was filled with traditional Mexican songs like the ones her father
loved. Two other Spanish-language albums followed: Mas Canciones (1990) and Frenesi (1992).
Ronstadt continues to experiment with different musical styles. In collaboration with Ann Savoy, she
takes on Cajun music in her latest album Adieu False Heart (2006). While she still records new
material and performs live, Ronstadt has slowed down a bit in recent years, choosing to spend more
time with her family. She lives with her two adopted children in her hometown of Tucson.
