Sheryl Crow worked as a backup singer for Michael Jackson from 1987–1989 when he was touring to support his album Bad.  She also acted and sang in the failed police procedural series Cop Rock (She played a singing and dancing plains clothes police officer).  Her September 22, 1992 era debut album was never released.  Her second album, the Tuesday Night Music Club was a smash hit success and made Sheryl Crow a household name.  Her latest album was released in 2010.
