Pop: Out of the Shadows
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Carole King
Began pop life auspiciously as the subject of Neil Sedaka's "Oh Carole". Co-wrote and produced many 1960s pop landmarks before defining singer- songwriterdom with 1971's 14 million-selling Tapestry.
Tina Turner
Initially deemed good enough to sing live with husband Ike's band but not record with them, the former Annie Mae Bullock went on to become Phil Spector's muse, and later recorded some of the most authentically horrible music of the Eighties.
Sheryl Crow
Former primary school music-teacher turned global faux-country empress. Early CV credits as backing vocalist for Michael Jackson and Eric Clapton receive more attention than her crucial formative songwriting experiences in the employ of Bette Midler.
