States and internationally. She has also earned nominations for a Tony Award and a Golden Globe award.
She was awarded the Latin Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award by the Latin

the Grammy
Lifetime Achievement Award by the Recording Academy in 2016. She was inducted into the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame in April 2014. On July 28, 2014, she
was awarded the National Medal of Arts and Humanities. In 2019, she received a
star jointly with Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris on the Hollywood
Walk of Fame for their work as the group Trio. Ronstadt
was among five honorees who received the 2019 Kennedy
Center Honors for lifetime artistic achievements.
Ronstadt has released 24 studio albums and 15
compilation or greatest hits albums. She charted 38 US Billboard Hot
100 singles. Twenty-one of those singles reached the top 40, ten
reached the top 10, and one reached number one ("You're No
Good"). Ronstadt also charted in UK as
two of her duets, "Somewhere Out There"
with James Ingram and "Don't Know Much"
with Aaron Neville, peaked
at numbers 8 and 2 respectively and the single "Blue Bayou"
reached number 35 on the UK Singles charts.
Ronstadt has collaborated with artists in
diverse genres, including: Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Bette Midler, Billy Eckstine, Frank Zappa, Carla Bley (Escalator
Over the Hill), Rosemary Clooney, Flaco Jiménez, Philip Glass, Warren Zevon, Gram Parsons, Neil Young, Paul Simon, Earl Scruggs, Johnny Cash, and Nelson Riddle. She has
lent her voice to over 120 albums and has sold more than 100 million records,
making her one of the world's
best-selling artists of all time. Christopher
Loudon, of Jazz Times, wrote
in 2004 that Ronstadt is "blessed with arguably the most sterling set of
pipes of her generation."
Ronstadt reduced her activity after 2000 when
she felt her singing voice deteriorating, releasing her last full-length album
in 2004 and performing her last live concert in 2009. She announced her
retirement in 2011 and revealed shortly afterwards that she is no longer able
to sing as a result of a degenerative condition later determined to be progressive
supranuclear palsy. Since then, Ronstadt has
continued to make public appearances, going on a number of public speaking
tours in the 2010s. She published an autobiography, Simple Dreams: A Musical
Memoir, in September 2013. A documentary based on her memoirs, Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice,
was released in 2019.
Living in the USA is the ninth studio album by
American singer Linda Ronstadt,
released in 1978. The album was Ronstadt's third and final Nº 1 on the Billboard 200 album chart.
Just one look and I
fell so hard
In love, with you, oh oh
I found out how good it feels
To have, your love, oh oh
Say you will, will be
mine
Forever, and always, oh oh
Just one look and I knew
That you were my only one, oh oh
I thought I was
dreaming
But I was wrong, oh yeah yeah
Ah but I'm gonna keep on scheming
Till I make you, make you my own
So you see, I really
care
Without you I'm nothing, oh oh
Just one look and I know
I'll get you someday, oh oh
Just one look
That's all it took, hah, just one look
That's all it took, woah, just one look
That's all it woah, baby
(That's all it took, just one look)
You know I love you baby
(That's all it took, just one look)
I'll build my world around you
(That's all it took, just one look)
(That's all it took, just one look)
Come on baby
(That's all it took).
