Mitchell hired a working jazz band to back her and made the best-selling record of her life without simplifying a single thing.

The first record after Tosh and Bunny left, with three women, one of them Marley's wife, singing behind him from then on.

Ronstadt's touring band had already left to become the Eagles by the time this made her the biggest-selling woman in American music.

Zigaboo Modeliste's drumming here has been sampled more than almost anyone's, because he leaves gaps where other drummers would put a beat.

Peter Gabriel wrote all the words alone against the rest of the band's wishes, and left the group as soon as the tour ended.
