Linda Ronstadt - A Party Girl In Dallas (Live) (2015)

By the end of 1978, Linda Ronstadt had solidified her role as one of rock and pop's most successful solo female acts, and owing to her consistent platinum album success, and her ability as the first-ever woman to sell out concerts in arenas and stadiums hosting tens of thousands of fans, Ronstadt became the highest paid woman in rock. She had six platinum-certified albums, three of which were number 1 on the Billboard album chart, and numerous charted pop singles. In the summer of 1980, keen to show she was more than a pop singer, Ronstadt began rehearsals for the first of several leads in Broadway musicals.
