Ronstadt has collaborated with many equally accomplished musicians, including Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Neil Young, Aaron Neville, Philip Glass, and even The Muppets. Throughout her career, Linda Ronstadt has grown and explored as a singer, approaching her songs with a nearly scholarly approach and a great love of music.
