Stevie or Linda? I love em both. Saw Stevie in person & the image of her singing "Dreams" has never left me. Tuff choice for me. How about a sandwich??hno:
Love Stevie,but Linda does it for me.While watching the history of the Eagles I could not get over how freaking beautiful she was.HER EYES! 20 years old she breaks thru with stone poneys with a song written by that guy from the Monkees and the rest is history.She dominated the 70's.Only wish she wasn't connected to the liberal leech Jerry Brown..
By the end of 1978, Ronstadt had solidified her role as one of rock and pop's most successful solo female acts, and owing to her consistent platinum album success, and her ability as the first-ever woman to sell out concerts in arenas and stadiums hosting tens of thousands of fans,[SUP][17][/SUP] Ronstadt became the "highest paid woman in rock".[SUP][26][/SUP] She had six platinum-certified albums, three of which were #1 on the Billboard album chart, and numerous charted pop singles. In 1978 alone, she made over $12 million[SUP][17][/SUP] (equivalent to $43,000,000 in today's dollars)[SUP][90][/SUP] and in the same year her albums sales were reported to be 17 million – grossing over $60 million[SUP][91][/SUP] (equivalent to a gross of over $170,000,000, in today's dollars).[SUP][90][/SUP]
As Rolling Stone magazine dubbed her "Rock's Venus",[SUP][27][/SUP] her record sales continued to multiply and set records themselves. By 1979, Ronstadt had collected eight gold, six platinum, and four multi-platinum certifications for her albums, an unprecedented feat at the time. Her 1976 Greatest Hits album would sell consistently for the next 25 years and in 2001 was certified by the RIAA for seven-times platinum[SUP][76][/SUP] (over seven million U.S. copies sold). In 1980, Greatest Hits, Volume 2 was released and certified platinum.[SUP][76]

I seem to recall hearing a story that Stevie snorted so much coke that she blew her nostrils out and had to take coke rectally. That could have something to do with the smell…
