Doo Wop Pop Pop: Background Singers Who Became Famous
- By

Mariah Carey
Remember that time Mariah Carey checked her background singer in the middle of live performance? In a sing songy tone, the Butterfly Diva said, “Stop singing my part now baby.” She was so quick to jump on that singer because Mariah knows that life. During the lean years when she was working as a waitress and sending out demo tapes, she met pop singer Brenda K. Starr. That was Mariah’s big break. She would eventually sing background for her before Starr took a special interest in making sure Carey’s own career took off.
Thanks Bren!
