Between her contralto and brother Richard's baritone, The Carpenters produced quality and lyrically sophisticated pop songs. They had success with Top of the World, Superstar, We've Only Just Begun, Hurting Each Other, and Sing. They created nine Gold Albums and sold over 100 million albums until the untimely and schoking sad death of Karen from anorexia. Cher
She is one of the few female rockers to cross over from punk and was a Runaway (1977-78) with their hit Cherry Bomb before starting her own record label, Blackheart Records. Twenty-three record companies refused to sign the band that sang Bad Reputation. Her manager sold her records from the back of his car trunk after her concerts, and one year later, she was signed with one of the majors. She is know for Crimson and Clover and I Love Rock and Roll. She was inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2015. Pat Benatar
She is a trail-blazer and rule-breaker. She started singing in elementary school, and after singing on Halloween of 1977 in a Cat Woman outfit and getting a standing ovation, her career began to take off. She is a trained mezzo-soprano who sang Pepsi commercial jingles before getting 19 hits in the Top 40 sucha as Invincible, Heartbreaker, Hit Me with Your Best Shot, We Belong and other hits. She and husband Spider Neil Giraldo were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022. They have four Gold Albums and six Platinum Albums. This book includes the backgrounds, influences, discographies and achievements of the female singers/rockers above. The impact of these bands cannot be overstated and is a proper introduction for Gen Z.
