Heralded as a musician with enormous drive - even though some used that characteristic against her. Sheryl Crow’s success in the 90’s almost didn’t happen. Her debut record sat in limbo, she was and she almost lost her recording contract and despite the success of her debut album, it soon created a media firestorm with some of her early musical collaborators. Today, let’s talk about the career of Sheryl Crow.
Born in Kennett, missouri,population 10,000 Sheryl Crow was a self professed “moody” music geek growing up. wanting to know all the lyrics, and wanting to know who played what part on each album. Her parents were also encouraging getting her piano lessons at the age of 6. Her father, was a lawyer and trumpeter, and her mother, was, a piano teacher and music enthusiast.
Crow would attend university of missouri majoring in music Piano performance with a secondary degree in education. It was following school she joined a cover band where she was the only woman, a group called Cashmere. She would cite her influences growing up as the Stones, Fleetwood Mac, Rod Stewart. I’m guessing Led Zeppelin is somewhere in there too. She would land a job as an elementary music teacher in the st. louis public education system by the mid 80’s.. She was making $17,000 a year and got engaged to the guitar player in her band, who was also a born again christian. The plan was that she’d live in Missouri the rest of her life, have a family and live happily ever after but things wouldn’t work out that way. The engagement was broken off after Crow’s fiance told her if she wasn’t going to sing for the lord he couldn’t be with her.
But despite her fiance’s comments, Crow loved playing in bands and didn’t back down. One of her first big breaks would be doing a jingle for a mcdonalds that was only originally supposed to air regionally in and around st. louis. But it soon got picked up nationally. Crowe would admit that for 45 minutes of work she made $42,000.00 which was more than she made after 2 years of teaching. It was at this point she relocated to LA, since she was no longer engaged. thinking that she’d make a career playing music or at least writing jingles. She’d go home on a tuesday and tell her parents she was leaving for la on sunday. She was 24 at the time and had a good amount of determination. She had never been to any other city except St. Louis, so she was obviously overwhelmed by what she saw. She would live by the beach with several friends and one of the first things she did was to get a list of all the studios in LA and a map mapping out all the locations. She’d take her demo tape with her commercials and a few songs to the studios to see if she could get any work.
She soon began questioning her decision to move to LA after going into a studio one day and coming back out and seeing a boot on her car. She had no money to get her car back.
She did what everyone else was doing at the time who came to LA in search of their dreams of becoming famous. She waited tables at a place in the valley a jazz club called Le Cafe. It was a place where lots of well known musicians and industry people frequented. A guy named Les Hooper stopped by the place and he was a commercial producer. Crow gave him her tape, knowing she could fired for doing such a thing, which she was. The next morning she was letgo, but hooper heard the tape and loved it. He helped her get a job doing a national commercial for car maker Toyoto which paid $67,000.00, She was able to get her car back after getting that big cheque.
She soon started getting other work like doing a studio session with johnny mathis and even got a tv part on a show called cop rock - a detective show that was also a musical.It didn’t last very long on the air. I know To give you guys a timeline this was 1990. About a year prior in 1989 she would buy a 4 track recorder and she would do covers of Shaka Khan and Heart while also writing songs on her keyboard and programming drums. Then Crow got her big break. She had gotten word that michael jackson was holding auditions for his bad tour for backup singers and got the gig.
She soon got a passport, boarded a 747 an
Lilith Fair video I referenced ua-cam.com/video/KuCkxa2ljQQ/v-deo.htmlsi=xN1BAZrWUUCYAppz
Pad-gam? Seriously?
Kevin Gilbert- Very talented musician. I became aware of him with his contributions to Keith Emerson ( RIP). EMERSON released " For Kevin " on " Emerson Plays Emerson" 2002 2cd a piano piece he performed live since 1996. Thank You
It's pronounced Pa/-jam, and Lilith Fair was not a flop.
@rnrtruesrories, you left out the collaborations with Kid Rock for the highly acclaimed song “Picture” and others.
I went to a Lilith Fair in So Cal; Tracy Chapman absolutely stole the show! Her band was awesome!!!!!!
I had a buddy of mine that had her as a music teacher when he was in the fifth grade (showed me his school annual to prove it) he said she was a really strict music teacher that made every kid sing and participate. Thats why he never forgot her😂😂
Oh Lord kumbaya
My sister was a huge fan, went to her concert she played for 30 minutes & left, my sister was furious! True story
The end of this video is yet more proof that TRRHOF is a politically correct joke.
I believe it -
@@fastinbulvis2223 it's a joke
She probably had to go throw up, ( she battled anorexia and bulimia for years) as well as having to hear her own music, which I can understand why she quit early.
@@Kazwell111 sad but 🤣😂😅
We Missourians are very proud of Sheryl Crow, a very versatile musician. She grew up right down the road from me..
Rhonda Vincent, too.
Yep! Southeast here- and she's at heart a fine Country artist- love her
Sheryl Crow is as much Rock and Roll guitarist as Ray Charles was a cross walk guard board of the local primary School. No Worries, rhe ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME will eventually bestow an award on her despite rhe fact that she specializes in country music. All the normal things in life have been rearranged along with their meanings .....
No wonder the world is lost!
I fell in love with her music around the time of the third album. Have followed her since AND got my copy of C'mon C'mon autographed!
How the f is this woman in the hall of fame.... its taken bands with 100x more talent much longer
Because she was politically correct
Use your imagination.
Apparently you have none@@petegarrido5406
If you're having to ask yourself how the "f"@@petegarrido5406
@@petegarrido5406BJ's?
How is she inducted into the RRHOF? I’m sorry, I forgot it is not the Hall of Fame for Rock Musicians. It includes country, jazz, pop, and other various crap.
At the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame concert back in 94 in Cleveland, she covered the rolling stones song Let It Bleed and it was the worst. She had no business on the stage with all of those bona-fide hall of fame artists. Also I was tripping and it made it worse listening to Crow.
It's the Brown Noser's Musical Hal of Fame.
She's in and Paul Rodgers is not. Don't get that.
She is in and Foreigner is Not. BS
One of those “various crap” artists that got in is Kid Rock 🪨! Unbelievable!
Joni Mitchell once stated in an interview that Crow was an untalented product of music business producers.
(Paraphrasing)
yeah .. and when they asked her what she thought of sheryl , she replied " yeah ...i know some of her people " . i was on tour in california when that all i want to do song hit ... and it was on the radio every hour . i now list it as one of the most obnoxious songs i have ever heard . i was told 5 writers are credited for that masterpiece . 🤥
That's a shame because she cites Mitchell as one of her favorites and an influence on her.. im huge huge HUGE Joni fan..but there are not many people that she talks nice about.
Joni Mitchell should listen to faraway places. A duet she did with Willie Nelson. Better than anything Joni Mitchell has done IMO.
I really like Sheryl's duet with Chris Stapleton - Tell me when it's over.
Sounds like sour grapes to me. Joni is a legend, deserves the praise she's due. But, the music industry was different in her era and Joni was part of a folk culture, Cheryl didn't have a music "family" to belong to.
Never was my taste. I think that "are you strong enough to be my man" essentially asks "are you weak enough to be my doormat". No thanks to that vibe nor her music.
In hindsight what a totally correct assessment, especially in these post amber heard trial days, sort of a take me as I am - damaged and reckless - yet I won't take responsibility for my actions kind of attitude.
Don't even get me started on Alanis...
Yes, that undertone of her music was kind of cringy. Almost like it was tacked on in a sad attempt to liven up a listless body of work.
This "tough girl" persona was status quo for female singers all thru the 1990s. No matter if a gal sang as part of a band or had a solo act, this type of image was what the recording industry was pushing during that time, which brings up a marginally decent phrase..."it is what it is".
entitlement..brought to you by feminism
That’s an excellent comment.
Funny how the writing style on her first record sounds just like Kevin Gilbert's solo stuff...Hmmmm
Everything about this whole story just gives me a whole variety of bad vibes. Can't think of a single thing that sounds truly uplifting. There must be enclaves within the music business where kindness and integrity are dominant, but I can't say where they are with any confidence.
Rumor has it, Anyone who’s anyone in the music business starts their journey at the intersection of 61 and 49, the Devil’s Crossroads and from what I’ve seen I believe it.
I was raped in college by another student. Years later, when the trauma became less SEVERE, I learned that the guy became the head of his own music label, then he sold his label to Disney. More recently he was working with Harvey Weinstein and traveling the world surfing. My health is destroyed, I barely leave my home, and I’m broke. The thing is, when I heard he was in the music industry, I laughed out loud. That’s where the psychos are.
@@dougspidermanhappy You definitely have my sympathies. I've heard other stories that point in a similar direction. They're all different. That's entropy. Infinitely more ways to go wrong than to go right. IAC I'd really love to see someone study this analytically, trying to determine what areas of activity are the most corrupt, and ultimately why they are the way they are.
@@dougspidermanhappy
Thats fucked up Doug, I'm sorry to hear that. Such a lonely way to be. I hope like me you have little corners of respite no matter how far and few between. F that fella, his mickey will probebly fall off.
@@dougspidermanhappy I know this is easier said than done, but turn to Jesus, receive forgiveness for all of your mistakes, then you can forgive this dirtbag and you will be free of it. Don't live another day as a slave to it.
I was in a studio creation “band” years ago with a fairly well-known session musician from L.A. Once, the conversation came around to female singers and Crow came up. He went on a long rant as to why he hated her with a passion. Turns out Kevin was one of his best friends. He told me the whole, long story and was besides himself with grief and anger. I didn’t quite believe it at the time. I thought the whole thing was overly-dramatic. As the last 20+ years have passed, the more his story has become basically common knowledge. She really screwed that guy bad.
Yep, that's right!
Hibbing?
I didn't learn about Kevin until he was gone but when I learned what she did to him I was feeling the same way. And then when she had the audacity to say she was joining Fleetwood Mac only to have Lindsay Buckingham say, "Uhh, no she's not" just sealed it. Sheryl Crow is an opportunistic parasite.
Crow stealing the work of others shows why she was such a good match for Lance Armstrong. Crow went on talk shows, claiming the songs were autobiographical. When the truth was that she stole the songs from her band.
Wow, carrying that level of disdain can't be doing anybody good. She owned it but none of y'all can let it go and suck acridity will poison YOU. She has moved on.
I saw Kevin Gilbert at SXSW in 1995 and he blew me away. Acquired everything he ever released. He had more talent in his little finger than she's had over the course of her entire career. And the way she treated him and the rest of the TNMC was absolutely despicable.
Kevin was on Mark And Brian show all the time, what talent he had and she just destroyed him how sad, I'll never support her ever.
There used to be a video (now taken down) of Kevin performing The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway at Progfest '94. It is an amazing one-off performance; he truly got into Peter Gabriel's "Rael" character.
@@OboeCanAm Kevin was amazing, such a sad way to go but he lives on.
@@OboeCanAm I have a cd of Kevin doing the Lamb. He was so amazing.
Oh please! In the music business you take the opportunity when it shows up. Don’t be naive, it’s every man for himself. Her band mates just didn’t have the talent.
Sheryl crow is truly a music "product"
RIP Kevin Gilbert. Do an episode about him and how he was used.
YES THIS!!
Yes
I've made countless videos about Kevin Gilbert on my channel.
You sorta glossed over the Kevin Gilbert connection! Kevin was dating her, and the Tuesday night music club guys all had such a big part in that album, they naturally thought they'd all ride that record to stardom... She sorta abandoned the guys, claimed she wrote the material on letterman and rose to glory. The rest of the guys were naturally pissed, Kevin Gilbert wrote an incredibly clever song about the experience called 'leaving miss Broadway' that has some of the best lyrics!
'there's a comfortable old tale about the man without a clue, who rises to the top on work a woman had to do. But political correctness won't believe the inverse true: we can't see painted nails on the foot that fits the shoe' Kevin Gilbert was an awesome writer, his toy matinee album is an all time fave of mine... Sad he's gone
Never mind Sheryl Crow. Kevin Gilbert is the more interesting musician. He did some great music before he died.
So she had a few hit singles . An ok voice . I don’t know about ripping people off or other people writing songs for her, etc.
However I believe she was a passing fad of the 1990s; not an artist with legendary impact . It’s a free country so enjoy if you do !
everything with Kevin Gilbert should not be forgotten, but also forgiven.
As a Kevin Gilbert fan however, the thing that I would love to have released are the demos and other versions of the Tuesday Night Music Club material.
I wonder if it may never happen or at least not until Sheryl herself is no longer with us.
Kevin was an astonishing musician, an unbelievable talent.
Shaming of the True is simply an amazing album. Everyone here should give it a listen.
@@mikeaaron2112 agreed. I've said it many times, it should be in every public library.
@@mikeaaron2112 Indeed!
Crow using Kevin Gilbert as a stepping stone is disgusting - every time I hear her voice I gag.
I watched a 1hr documentary, 4 years ago, of Crow about her 9th studio album(Her retirement announcement). Its cover was her sitting at a grand piano in a grass field with tree line in the background. In her interview she said that the album was entirely an artistic statement of her own merit. NO influence of commercialism. She was vocal about how she had to change her lyrics to conform to what would be considered popular and this album was representative about that. I couldn't get thru one song on it. It was grueling. Today, you can not find the documentary anywhere. The is no record of the album anywhere. All history of this haas been wiped from the internet.
"In her interview she said that the album was entirely an artistic statement of her own merit. NO influence of commercialism. She was vocal about how she had to change her lyrics to conform to what would be considered popular and this album was representative about that."
I think something is going over my heard, the first and second sentences here seem contradicted by the third.
Her stuff is awful. No personality. Stuck with Aimee Mann and Lucinda Williams
@@peterzang It's not because something sounds like something that she is emulating someone. She's just herself. All musicians aim to be someone and end up being themselves.
Sounds like a fever dream.
what was the name of that album? @@kcbh24
@rnrtruestories
Sheryl Crowe has A LOT of indirect blood on her hands. As a result of her actions (more like in-actions) the deaths of John O'Brien and ESPECIALLY Kevin Gilbert (both R.I.P.) and what they did for her early career, seem to be all but forgotten, collateral damage. Kevin never got over the fact that she never publicly acknowledged his musical contributions and never revealed the true source inspiration for 'Leaving Las Vegas' is just criminal.
Thank you for featuring Kevin in your video because he is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL to Crowe's success.
Lol
A slight association with a suicide and it's all 100% her fault. Total crap... she had an amazing talent, drive and accomplishment, which only increased to superstar levels AFTER TNMC.
That was their own mental health issues and insecurities. To blame one person is not fair.
I’m with you on this Brent. RIP KG
@dogstar84 how brave of you lol
She's decent, but has no business being in the Rock Hall except as a visitor. But that's true of a lot of people in there.
What about her singing background vocals for Don Henley on his song Last Worthless Evening in 1989? You can see her in the video for the song.
Hideously unworthy of HOF induction.
I feel like the media and marketers really downplayed or totally ignored Sheryl's history with Michael Jackson when she was, "introduced," as a solo act in the 90s.
I got to see The Bad Tour in 1988 in Atlanta Ga at the Omni...SC before she had a record singing with Michael Jackson...she was so pretty...
she downplayed her beginning with MJ
One of the artists where I can really enjoy various songs by her, but which fall flat when heard back to back. Never made it through an album in one sitting.
In 1996 she came to our small camp(Army) in Bosnia in the Tusla valley. A couple of my guys were able to get her signature and said she was super cool and upbeat.
Much respect for her. Sh!t was sketchy yet she still came.
Her playing "Stuck In the Middle With You" was the highlight for me that day.
Zero respect for this piece of garbage
Remember Al Frankin On The USO Tour, Acting Out Grabbing A Sleeping Women's Breasts? It Is Called Self Promotion.
Try finding the Sheryl Crow interview with Letterman, it's been expunged. Big money, big lawyers…
Please elaborate..intrigued.
The R&R HoF is a joke. She has a knack for hooks and choruses, but her songs are pretty lightweight, IMHO. “Every Day Is a Winding Road” is a good example. Terrific chorus, dull verses.
So how many hit songs have you written/recorded? Can you even play an instrument?
@@fenris6051 No need to get nasty. I’m not a fan of Sheryl, but I can’t argue with her success. She knows how to write hits. I’m definitely not a hater. As for me, I’m not a professional musician, so no hit songs. But I’ve been playing guitar for years, I’ve written many songs, and I’ve recorded a few. So, my opinion is valid - whether you agree or not. What about you?
Her song Home still crushes me anytime I hear it. Beautiful.
On her first album, not one of the tracks were written solely by herself. She relied on many others to create/compose these tracks.
She rode coattails her whole career
So what? She co-wrote all the songs--no small feat. Look. I'm not a fan of hers, but this is sniping. She's talented, but her time in the sun came and went. It happens to almost all of them.
I am commenting as a song-writer myself. I was only stating a fact that I found of interest. We are all inspired by our musical input, and yet the capacity for musical creativity is unlimited.
And they received writing credits. Were they supposed to get a pic on the album cover also?
@ecapa0020 I would say no, the capacity is quite limited. Certainly in rock and pop, one's abilities drop off as one gets older.
Prob no one is gonna see this, but as a woman musician in the ‘80s (still side-gig occasionally), I can tell you with confidence that there are always men tryin’ to minimize you or tear you down. I can’t personally speak to her intentions, but I understand the mountain she climbed. Can’t hate on her for this. Let me hear a woman’s commentary on her career, then we’ll talk.
She is a pop singer in my book
pop is a sub-genre of rock, so...
@@TheRockinDonkey What?!?
Yeah, but your pages are stuck together…
@@panhead55 Thanks for the imagery. : D
"She had only ever lived in St. Louis so she was overwhelmed by the sights and sounds of LA"
It's literally the same thing but one is cold and one is warm. Both have skyscrapers and bums and lots of people.
Meh. Crow's time in the sunlight certainly suggests a lot of the initial complaints had some validity. She sold a lot early on, but after everyone stopped trusting her, her sales have gone into the sub-100k zone.
Like absolutely everyone. Nobody sells 20 million albums anymore. She's a legacy artist, she's not Taylor Swift.
"he says his name is William, but I'm sure its Bill or Billy, or Mack, or Buddy..." I have news for you Sheryl, Bill and Billy is the nickname for William. Alanis would call that "Ironic". 🤣
That's the joke.
She is an Amazing Musician!!!!!!! Im a Fan!!!!!
Thanks to Sheryl Crow I've only used one roll of toilet paper now in the last 4 years.
I know she was very popular in the 90's, but I can't think of a single song she did (part of being very old). If I heard one, I'd remember it.
yeah but that just means you have limited musical knowledge
Wow, I had no idea of so much here. Love her or not, she's had a hell of a life.
Rock And Roll - Hall Of Fame?? Give Me A Break?
a Joke
Inducted into the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame? Sheeesh, maybe I can get in too.
Seems that if she hadn't had success with that first McDonald's commercial she would have ended up with a nice happy, calm life as a music teacher. The McDonalds' curse - made me fat and paved the way for Sheryl's depression.
_GOLD!_
u dont get to tour with MJ without being hugely driven and ruthless. But there is nothing substantial about her, she sold records sure but it all seems hollow. Her legacy is what...
Never cared for anything she did. Mediocre is the highest praise I can give her.
agreed.
yeah cuz dueting with Michael jackson is just "mediocre" ahahahahahha
Nothing you will do wiil ever come close LOL
Agreed. Worse than mediocre.
Listen to Kevin Gilbert
I had a friend that worked for Alesis in the 90s and was good friends with Kevin Gilbert. I can tell you the stories I heard didn't painting a pretty picture of Miss Crow in any way
No they didn’t. Team Kevin. Huge talent lost
I'm amazed how everyone commenting here seems to know every detail of her life lmao . Like most people in 1993 I was a fan of Sheryl Crow's music when her album came out. I didn't know much about her though even though it was at the cusp of websites and Internet chat where fans of hers met. I think it's just the same old story that any business is all about money and the music business is worse add to that it's art so add emotions, credibility, money all that makes a mess.
Don't know if they know every detail of her life, but they seem to know much more about it than you.
I remember when she pontificated to everybody about only using one square of toilet paper after a “sitting”. It was then that I called her “Square Crow”.
Lance Armstrong’s Dr had the real good shit.
super weed
@@johneeeemarry34
I have met several folks like Cheryl over the years. All had limited stand alone talent. They were very good at using talented people.
I think she learned from the best. Back up singer for Michael Jackson & girlfriend of Eric Clapton
Sheryl Crow was one of my 90s crushes.
I'm glad Rock n Roll True Stories did a "Whatever Happened to?" video on Sheryl. 😊
The dudes she did leaving Las Vegas with. She took all the credit and forgot all about them. With new members
She did sing lead and they just played the instruments on her project so…
The Tuesday night music club people all got screwed and they were the reason the music was soo good
That's not true at all
After watching this video, she studied and worked hard for her career, so the word "Phony?" in the thumbnail is gratuitous click-bait.
Chuckled when they said Walmart wanted her to throw competitor K Mart under the bus if she wanted albums sold. lol
I see some comments on here slamming her for relying on the people in her band to help her write!! Which I find strange, bcuz I can remember when surrounding yourself with really good musicians was a good thing!!! In fact, I don’t know any great musicians or bands that don’t surround themselves with really smart, talented people!!!
Seems she has fans and sadly some very vocal haters. I love her early stuff, and I will not let a YT video ruin that with lame claims. Steve McQueen and Soak up the sun always brightens my mood. And I regularly listen to one of her early albums.
@@fenris6051 No doubt, she’s got an impressive catalog of really good songs!! I was laid up for a little over a year, so I started going thru my collection of music that I started about 50 years ago-bcuz I wanted to start making a some playlists!! Sheryl was in there with countless other bands/artists-needless to say, I started listening to her again!! And like any other good artist, her music still stands up!!!
All these "controversies" really didn't seem to make that much difference to the average music listener back in the day.
Of course, at least from my perspective. Paying attention to music industry news and gossip wasn't so much thing, so it was more about hearing songs I liked from various sources (radio, friends, clubs, concerts) and buying stuff I liked.
Crow's music and production had and has a strong quality to it that holds up.
but she only 4 feet 3 inch tall so NEX TIME you muss think aboud these
Undeniable talent...Undeniably talented...
None of that matters when your first 3 albums are as good as hers were
We are consumers. We don’t think about what goes into the products we consume.
falconeav speak for yourself
She dumped Lance Armstrong because he was half nuts.
😂🥁
I thought they made a perfect couple! 😂
Pun intended 😂
All those hormones I’m sure affected his personality
13:00 I lived in a small town in northern Michigan back in 1999/2000, and indeed only at Radio Shack and K-Mart (where I bought Skynyrd’s “Muscle Shoals Sessions”) could any records be found.
I don't even recall Radio Shack carrying music. I remember some software.
She bombed in Cleveland at the rock and roll hall of fame concert back in 94 also. She covered the stones song let it bleed and it was awful.
@@SHEEPLESUCK it was '95, but now I need to find the concert. I thought it was weird that she was featured the same year she hit it big.
Her Stones' cover songs......suck. "All Down The Line" sucks so bad because she doesn't think about what she covers. She has no objectivity.@@SHEEPLESUCK
$67k in 1990 would be $161,500 today!
I'm Mizzou alum. She has done well financially for sure but she's a gun grabber, 'nuff said.
Some people never miss an opportunity to slam a talented & successful woman. The misogynists are always alive & well and ever present, but never themselves doing anything worthwhile. I suppose living with so much hate tends to squash the creative and positive inspirations in life, however remote they may be.
What's it got to do with gender? People are making the point that her talent is very underwhelming considering the level of success she achieved. If we're being honest, it's a point that's difficult to argue, you hack.
She did the musical equivalent of the casting couch
not even close geek
@@platboy1789 can't read between the lines, dork?
Where is your evidence to support your claim? Were you in the room when this is supposed to have happened? If no, how do you know? Just cos someone told you this happened does not prove the claim.
@keithad6485 it's right there in the vid if you can read between the lines. I don't know how old you are but I remember hearing back in the 90s about her doing her band dirty. Connect the dots or you don't know women...
P.S, did you know Mira Sorvino got her Oscar by sleeping with Harvey Weinstein? Proof:she fell off the face of the earth after winning. Harvey was done with her. Lol
She love you long time!
Crow's success always amazed me, because she didn't seem to be able to sing in tune.
she was michael jacksons backup singer...
She was a lot of things. @@platboy1789
If Crow ripped off all those people at The Tuesday Night Writers Club, then they should have been able to find success too. Obviously, she brought something unique to the table and that's why she "made" it.
If the first album was the only one that was successful then I maybe partly believe these claims, but C'mon C'mon for example was a great album too, and seems like a logical evolution of her style, so I think the claims of them being ripped of is more a matter of talentless musicians that saw a chance to grab a piece of the action on top 10 billboard songs
Plus, if they had a real leg to truly stand on, they all would have viscously sued her. JHC, people have sued other artists for lessor claims.
Saw her live twice - she was superb as was her band.
As good as her records are, I think she is a really great live artist...
I agree - I saw her in my home town of Glasgow which has a famously demanding audience. She put on a great show and had some brilliant repartee with the crowd both times. @@kitano0
I would rather have all my teeth pulled
Each to their own 🫣😆@@sixslinger9951
You Must Have Been Sitting Up In "The Pot Cloud." 😂.
She had a lot of people helping her, and she never acknowledged them. She's got an average voice.
Kevin Gilbert made her, and he suffered for it.
Yes
@oneminuteblues If he died due to autoerotic asphyxiation, then his death was likely an accident.
I've always found her voice to be very thin, and thought she should be a backup singer at best!
I always felt that Crow's first three albums were oblique autobiographical stories of her experience in becoming a successful musician. TNMC was small town girl comes to the big city, the eponymous second album was about dealing with the overnight fame of success, The Globe Sessions was about the disillusionment that rock star success didn't necessarily bring happiness. It was kind of no wonder she hit writer's block with her fourth album (C'mon, C'mon) because she caught up with her own experience and didn't have that well to draw from. I've always felt that she's a great singer-songwriter (but always with strong writing partners) and her second album and The Globe Sessions were her best because they had this great combo of pop accessibility and rock 'n' roll edge.
Very good assessment of her early career. I 100% agree that her second and third albums are her best stuff. The first album has a few good songs,but overall is not all that strong.Those bunch of guys that co-wrote and worked on that first record may have been instrumental in getting her career started,but she surpassed what they did over the next couple records.
there are loads of hateful comments here but i totally agree with yours. i really liked her first 3 albums. the second 1 is my favorite. i always assumed a lot of the songs were from her own experiences.
@@MoeSlislack I agree. I played her second album over and over in the mid-90s. Just a great rock 'n' roll record in which she came into her own as a songwriter and artist.
I feel like the 1st & 2nd were both great, the 3rd one was ok, and after that it was just a downhill…✌️
One of the very few honest comments here. Agreed.
She told us we should only use one square of toilet paper! To wipe our asses!
Do you remember that gem!
she's suffered from severe bipolar disorder for her entire adult life and it has obviously affected her personal relationships. People get to know her and want to get away from her. Her refusal to not accept responsibility and do something to fix that problem is evident in the constant damage you see over her life and career she's done to everyone she's been involved with. When Lance Armstrong says he doesn't want to get married because he doesn't want anymore kids, then he goes and has kids with his next girlfriend, that says it all.
Lance Armstrong is hardly an example to use for, well...anything.

I don't give him a pass for doing it but all of the riders are using PE drugs. There's no way they can keep the pace they keep naturally.
Gun grabber and then THIS>>> April 24, 2007 Wrapping up a nationwide global warming tour, singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow posted a quirky "solution" online about a new way to save the environment. She wrote: "I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting."
Growing up as a music lover in the 80's and 90's was great. I got to hear the best from the best
She was the elementary music teacher of my roommate in Military.
he lie at you !!
also he in love at you becows 🌈 he is this🌈
@@ezsmith3765 wut.

Sheryl Crow is a great talent. I dare not judge her on her personal life. No one is perfect.
I just love her.
Sheryl must be one of those people who make enemies everywhere they go-enemy magnets.

i like sheryl i really do. and while i sympathize with certain issues she had to go thru, she not only hitched her wagon to every famous band or musician for "cred" (thus being over exposed since 98-ish), but its legend here in l.a. how she screwed over the guys in the "music club". then again its not uncommon for that to happen here.
The problem with creative groups is that as long as no one is successful then all love to help each other create things, but the moment one in the group finds success the envy starts, and the friendly free help is all of a sudden not so free anymore. I bet the claims against her would never have been made if Sheryl never gotten higher then a bar / club entertainer, greed is an ugly thing
Sheryl would be absolutely nothing without Kevin Gilbert ( Toy Matinee) . He was the real deal,
Couldn't agree more!!
100% true. RIP KG
Never heard of that guy before. Didn't seem to have any impact on the music scene.
@@ratatatuff Then you're living in a cave or outta touch with reality.
@@alexnutcasio936 Nah, I'm just keeping it real. Just because you are a huge fanboy doesn't mean that he was important.
Sheryl seems to be a person that fought hard for her career, but she made some mistakes. Biggest take away from watching/listening to this is how unbelievably shitting and disgusting the industry was back then. And, still is -- it's different -- but the profit motive is still the driving force.
Looking at how Lori Lieberman was treated and what happened to John Cameron Fogerty I can only say good for Sheryl for making it back in the time of the big record companies. I think people forget how important writers credit is, both regarding rights but also royalties wise. And lets be real, how many poor musicians would pass on a chance to nap a part of the income of a billboard top 10 hit on the thinnest of reasons if they could.
I still love her music
She got me through a suicidal period
Literally saved my life
Michael Jackson's manager Frank Dileo was an actor in the GOODFELLA'S movie.
I met guys in her band. She was a total user and screwed guys that made her career
Her collab with Kid Rock was a huge boost for her as well. I remember hearing Picture on the radio a lot. Even the country stations liked it
That's a great song
Nah, maybe helped KR.
I'm sure she probably regrets that song now.
A resurgence perhaps but her career was long established before Kid Rock came along.
That was her nadir, not her peak
Concise, to the point, no fluff... well done! 😁👍
The 90s was a good place for good music and tragedy. ❤
❤ absolutely 💯😁
Ya, kind of like every decade....
Far out. Great video. Also dig your t -shirt. I heard The Romantics in a small club in Detroit after they launched an album. A family member went to same high school as original bass rich cole. She knew Wally too. I met Wally once in the 70’s at a hip small club when he was visiting the club. He was very approachable. Great Sheryl video thanks
Kevin Gilbert made her, there is so much to the story not told here but great job.
Those in the music industry, especially the studio musicians at the time, are very much in the know.
Gah! Hated her stuff that dominated the airwaves during my early 20’s… every few minutes… and we promoted her stuff at Sam the Record Man like crazy… I still have waking dreams about fucking car washes.
Kevin Gilbert's album Thud is one of the best lps Ive ever owned.
YES X 1000. He gave my girlfriend a copy in 1995 at SXSW and I later scored an expanded version which included Kashmir. One of my favorite albums ever. So sad.
I saw her play in Nashville weeks before she hit it big....the crowd wasn't impressed. I think she opened for Crowded House that night.
To me.All I Wanna do,Sounds like another version of Stuck in the Middle With You.Just sayin.
Yep. First thing I thought when I heard it.
She missed her calling as a country singer. Listen to her recordings with Willie Nelson and tell me her is not as good or better than most of them. But she chose to not go that way. Like her or not, she went her own way and she is an amazing talent.
Wait, she had a second album? J/k. Never heard anything past her first…
And yet you care so much that you comment... wow guess you feel real edgy posting a comment like this, and it would not surprise me if you posted the same comment on a half dozen other docs about musicians because of you once someone else get a lot of clicks on the same type of comment. What a loser.
She has a whole lot of albums. Globe Sessions was her best
I like her! Great story! About as UN-phony as they come, and benefitted from the negative rumours as many do: As P.T. Barnum is credited as saying, "Just be certain they spell your name right!", or something to that effect! Bless her all-American, musical heart!
As a non-American (I'm a Dane) I always saw her as the girls answer to the Beach Boys, upbeat songs that would brighten the mood no matter how rainy and grey the days was. She is on every one of my playlists and probably always will be.
@@fenris6051 , Thank you!
I'm only 6:40 in, but she DID NOT write All I wanna do. It is a poem written by a Vermont based poet.
He said that.
HAH! You got TOLD , Phoebe!
☝️😆👌
oh lol @@Da_Publick
Finally. Great video on story I always wondered about
I read once that she let MCA from the Beastie Boys live on her ranch when he had cancer. Not a huge fan of her music but I love what she did for a friend. She’s awesome in my book.
As if that wasn't cynically arranged by her record company. There's one born every minute.
Use to drive through Kennet to buy Bader peaches, Crowley's ridge
I remember her saying at one time that she didn't want "All I Wanna do" to be the first song she was known for.
I think it was the one that got her foot in the door.
