Linda Ronstadt
The voice that connected country, rock, and the canyon.
Linda could sing anything — and did. Country, rock, mariachi, opera, the great American songbook. Her early band became the Eagles. Her records with Emmylou Harris and Dolly Parton ('Trio') are sacred objects. The truest voice the canyon ever produced.
