Linda Ronstadt

Pop star recently posted a photo that hinted at her new role.

No longer able to sing, she's turned to other methods of sharing her story.

A new book from author Ronald Brownstein catalogues one of the most prolific years in California cultural history.

She initially gained national exposure while singing backup on "Heart of Gold," the chart-topping single from 1972's 'Harvest.'

Glenn Frey minced few words when he took the stage to induct Linda Ronstadt into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame tonight.

The annual list of songs added to the Library of Congress' National Recording Registry has been released.

The singer's health issues have made it difficult for her to travel.

For Hall & Oates, it means a sort of validation. For Cat Stevens, there's a bit of embarrassment at how good it makes him feel. And for Linda Ronstadt, there's the awful realization that Parkinson's will probably keep her away from her big night.

Kiss, Linda Ronstadt, Peter Gabriel, Nirvana, Hall & Oates and Cat Stevens have been elected into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 2014 class. That means Deep Purple, Yes and the Zombies are among the nominees who were not chosen this year.

The unfortunate retirement of Linda Ronstadt due to Parkinson's disease has caused her career to be looked at in a new light. However, in a new interview, the chart-topping singer says that it has never mattered to her if she gets inducted into that ultimate measure of respectability, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
