From Barnes & NobleLinda Ronstadt has racked twelve Grammys, two Country Music Awards, an Emmy, Golden Globe and and Tony nominations, and a host of gold, platinum, and multiplatinum awards, but even all those honors don't reflect the full talent or versatility of the Tucson-born singer/songwriter. This autobiography, justly called a musical memoir, traces Ronstadt's varied career from her youthful coming-of-age on the L.A. music scene in the seventies to more recent forays in jazz, rock, collaborations, Broadway musicals, and even opera. Now in trade paperback and NOOK Book. (P.S. Simple Dreams is no supermarket tabloid tell-all. Ronstadt focuses on her very rich career, not her private affairs.)
