Linda Ronstadt To Be Inducted Into 2014 Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame
Linda Ronstadt is among the 2014 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees in the performer category. Cat Stevens, Nirvana, Hall & Oates, KISS, and Peter Gabriel are also being inducted in the performer category of the upcoming class, while the E Street Band will receive the Award For Musical Excellence. Brian Epstein will also receive the Ahmet Ertegun Award For Lifetime Achievement at the ceremonies, which will be held April 10, 2014 at the Barclays Center arena in Brooklyn.
Ronstadt regularly crossed over to the country charts in the 1970s and performed a string of hits that revived interest in rock’s pioneers: Roy Orbison’s “Blue Bayou,” the Everly Brothers’ “When Will I Be Loved” and Buddy Holly’s “That’ll Be The Day” among them. Now 67, Ronstadt revealed to the world earlier this year that she is unable to sing anymore because of Parkinson’s Disease. Nearly three hundred artists or groups have been inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall since its opening in 1986. Inductees are chosen by over 700 members of the Rock Hall of Fame.
