Singer Linda Ronstadt was born on July 15, 1946, in Tucson, Arizona, and grew up
surrounded by music.
One of Ronstadt's early musical influences was the Mexican songs
her father taught her and her siblings.
Her mother played the ukulele and her father
played the guitar.
Following in her father's footsteps, she learned to play guitar, and
performed with her brother and sister as a trio.
While a student at Catalina High School, Ronstadt met local folk musician Bob Kimmel.
A
few years her senior, Kimmel moved to Los Angeles to pursue his music career, and tried
to convince Ronstadt to do the same.
She stayed put and enrolled at the University of
Arizona in Tucson, but soon left school to join Kimmel in L.A.
Ronstadt and Kimmel teamed up with Kenny Edwards to form the Stone Poneys, and the
folk trio released their first album in 1967.
The group enjoyed modest success with their
second album, Evergreen Vol.
2, which was also released in 1967.
However, their only hit
was "Different Drum," which was written by Michael Nesmith of the Monkees.
