Career: Crow worked as a session musician and collaborated with Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder and George Harrison, and spent 18 months as a backing vocalist on Michael Jackson's Bad tour before winning a contract in her own right. She spent $250,000 recording an album, but wasn't happy with the results and asked her record company not to release it - they agreed. She then started work on Tuesday Night Music Club instead, which was released in 1993, but didn't make much of an impression until the following year when the record company suggested releasing the track All I Wanna Do as a single. It reached number two in the American charts and number four in Britain - the album subsequently went multi-platinum. She subsequently had hits with the songs Everyday Is a Winding Road and the Bond theme Tomorrow Never Dies. Her album, 100 Miles from Memphis, was released in 2010.

Career: Janis Joplin and Sammi Smith had number ones with his songs Me and Bobby McGee and Help Me Make It Through the Night. In 1972, Kris scored a hit in his own right thanks to Why Me, and went on to make several successful albums. His acting debut came in The Last Movie in 1971, followed by Cisco Pike, Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid and A Star is Born. He later formed country supergroup the Highway Men with Cash, Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson. More recently, he's starred in Dolphin Tale, Deadfall and When Angels Sing.

Career: Following a tour with Ice Cube, Ritchie was dropped by his record label. He later formed his backing band, Twisted Brown Trucker. After making ends meet by selling bootleg recordings of his gigs, he and the group were signed by Atlantic Records in 1998, enjoying their first real taste of success with the album Devil Without a Cause. In 2000, Ritchie remixed his earlier flops as The History of Rock. A year later he released Cocky, following it up with a self-titled LP which proved hugely popular. Ritchie has also cropped up in the films Joe Dirt and Biker Boyz.
