Often in music, the prominence is placed on the title stars, without much regard to the people behind the scenes that help make the magic happen. This week, Sadie sheds light on a hidden part of the music industry: backup vocalists.

We discuss their careers, the times they have been uncredited or misrepresented, their humility, their time with the stars, and many of the other voices that played this vital role including Judith Hill, Lisa Fischer, Tata Vega, and Jo Lawry.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
