Toni Braxton
If it were not for Mariah Carey and Janet Jackson, we are sure that Toni Braxton would have been even bigger than she already is. Even so, she does have a huge influence on the world of R&B. You might be familiar with her songs “You’re Makin’ Me High/Let It Flow” and “Un-Break My Heart.” At the moment, she has won seven Grammy awards and sold more than 67 million records. Besides music, she was also on the small screen in Braxton Family Values and Dancing with the Stars.
Ann Wilson
Music fans are mostly familiar with Ann Wilson because she founded Heart. Aside from that, she served as the lead singer of the band. Nancy, her younger sister, helped her with the release of 16 albums. They have sold more than 35 million copies since then. The records earned her the status of an icon in both rock and metal. We can see why she has received a spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. “Artists make art. Singers sing. Players play. Gypsies travel. Music lights fires everywhere. It’s like oxygen!” she said.
