Linda Ronstadt began as the clear-voiced, country-influenced singer for '60s folk-rockers the Stone Poneys, where she covered tunes by the likes of Mike Nesmith and Tim Buckley. That knack for choosing material served her well in the second half of the '70s, when she became a pop superstar interpreting songs by everyone from Dave Edmunds and Elvis Costello to Chuck Berry and Roy Orbison. Subsequently, she has shown her diversity by cutting albums of jazz standards, traditional Mexican music, and pure country.
Greatest Hits, Vol. 1 is a good 12-track collection of Linda Ronstadt's biggest hits from the early '70s, beginning with the Stone Poneys' "Different Drum" and running through "Tracks of My Tears," from 1975's Prisoner in Disguise. In between, all of her best-known songs -- "You're No Good," "When Will I Be Loved," "Heat Wave" -- are included, plus selected minor hits, making it an excellent overview of her peak years.

One of the best voices in music ever! I can advise everyone to watch her documentary: Linda Ronstadt - The Sound of My Voice
and see and hear for yourself why she has one, if not the best voice in music. And she was lovely as well :D
Although she didn't have any great hits written for her for which everybody remembers her. The sound of her voice is what we all remember her for!
