I read somewhere that her album, Simple Dreams, released in 1977 was the first album to bump Fleetwood Mac's Rumours off the #1 spot it held for so long.
I think in the 70's Ronstadt was bigger than Stevie Nicks...just a bigger international household name. I think Rolling Stone even named her the "Queen of Rock N Roll' back in the later 70's.
ON EDIT:
How she ever got the "rock n roll" label I'll never know, as I find her music super mellow yellow. I like many of her covers though, she's got a strong voice, a true vocalist.
