Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice. Dir. Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman

Linda Ronstadt has been an icon for more than 50 years. Her extraordinary vocal range and ambition created unforgettable songs across rock, pop, country, folk ballads, American standards, classic Mexican music, and soul. As the most popular female recording artist of the 1970s, Ronstadt filled huge arenas as no one had ever done and produced an astounding eleven platinum albums. In Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice, Ronstadt guides viewers through her youth in Tucson singing Mexican canciones with her family; her folk days as a co- founder of the Stone Poneys; and her reign as the "queen of country rock" in the '70s and '80s. Ultimately, her powerful singing voice was stilled by illness that forced her into early retirement, but her music and influence remain timeless.
