In LINDA RONSTADT: THE SOUND OF MY VOICE, Ronstadt is our guide
through her early years of singing Mexican canciones with her family;
her folk days with the Stone Poneys; and her reign as the "rock queen"
of the '70s and early '80s. She was a pioneer for women in the
male-dominated music industry; an early advocate
for human rights, and had a high-profile romance with California
governor Jerry Brown. Ultimately, her incredible voice was lost to
Parkinson's disease, but her music and influence remain as timeless as
ever. With moving performance footage and appearances by collaborators
including Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Bonnie Raitt and Jackson Browne,
LINDA RONSTADT: THE SOUND OF MY VOICE celebrates an artist whose desire
to share the music she loved made generations of fans fall in love with
her - and the sound of her voice.
