she would be inducted in the performer category alongside Kate Bush, Missy Elliott, George Michael, Willie Nelson, Rage Against the Machine and the Spinners.As a girl growing up in Kennett, Mo., with singer-songwriter dreams, Crow was inspired by Bush and her alt-pop artistry. “The two albums of hers that I had, I wore out,” she recalls.
“So I love not only that we’re going to be inducted in the same class, but then I might get the opportunity to meet her and just tell her how much I love her.”Having also embraced country music in her career, the “If It Makes You Happy” songstress is also grateful for “the gift of getting to be in the same class with Willie, because he’s someone I feel like has been a cornerstone for me.”Before “Tuesday Night Music Club,” Crow was an elementary-school music teacher and then a background vocalist for Michael Jackson on his “Bad” tour. But her world was rocked thanks to hits such as “Strong Enough” and, especially, “All I Wanna Do.”“That song took me to Russia.
It took me all over South America. It took me all over Asia and Australia,” she reflects.
“People who didn’t even speak English as a first language would pound through that song trying to get every word. And every time I play the song, I feel the impact of that.”Crow’s debut LP, 1993’s “Tuesday Night Music Club,” took her all the way to music’s biggest night at the 1995 Grammys, where she won three gramophones, including Record of the Year (“All I Wanna Do”) and Best New Artist.
“It was a lot of late-night hanging out in bars, drinking … that’s how it got started,” she says of the multi-platinum album. “It gave a real feel to what it was like to be in LA in the early ’90s.”Sheryl Crow got some stellar schooling for solo stardom from
