Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Bette Midler, Billy Eckstine, Frank Zappa, Carla Bley (Escalator Over the Hill), Rosemary Clooney, Flaco Jiménez, Philip Glass, Warren Zevon, Gram Parsons, Neil Young, Paul Simon, Earl Scruggs, Johnny Cash, and Nelson Riddle are just a few of the musicians with whom Ronstadt has worked.

One of the best-selling performers in history, she has contributed her voice to over 120 albums and sold over 100 million copies. Ronstadt is “gifted with possibly the most brilliant set of pipes of her time,” Jazz Times’ Christopher Loudon noted in 2004.

After noticing a decline in her singing voice in 2000, Ronstadt scaled back her activities. Her final full-length album was released in 2004 and she gave her final live performance in 2009.

In 2011, she announced her retirement, and shortly after, she disclosed that a degenerative ailment ultimately identified as progressive supranuclear palsy is the reason she is no longer able to sing.

Since then, Ronstadt has kept up her public appearances, touring extensively in the 2010s to give speeches.

Simple Dreams: A Musical Memoir, her autobiography, was released in September 2013. Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice, a documentary based on her autobiography, was published in 2019.
