No one in rock and roll history may have had a voice like hers.

Her hits include:
-Blue Bayou Greatest Song!
-Poor Poor Pitiful Me
-You're No Good
-When Will I Be Loved
-Hurts So Bad

Inducted into Rock and Roll of Fame in 2014. Couldn’t attend due to her battle with Parkinson’s disease.

Babelicious back in the day.

Hurt so bad is a very underated song.

My old buddy had a huge crush on her back in the day. Bought every one of her albums.

Total smokeshow. I was born into the wrong generation.

aside from turning into a flaming lib, she had her shite together pretty good, especially for a 60s-70s rock and roll chick

The dice, they are a’tumblin’

I’ve been revisiting her records lately. So fine.

Happy birthday Ms. Ronstadt.

She helped Glenn Frey and Don Henley get started as The Eagles.

yep, even recommended they get Bernie Leadon to join them

ETA: she had a thing for helping musicians/songwriters trying to get a foothold in the business, a lot of the songs she covered were just to get exposure for up and coming writers because she knew she could sell it

Amazing talent but just a bit ironic that she only wrote four songs during her career.
