2023 Women’s History Month
Alecia Beth Moore Hart, aka Pink and P!nk), is a singer, songwriter, actress, and dancer.
In 1995, LaFace Records saw potential in Pink and offered her a solo recording contract.
Her R&B-influenced debut studio album Can’t Take Me Home (2000) was certified double-platinum in the United States and spawned two Billboard Hot 100 top-ten songs: “There You Go” and “Most Girls.”
She gained further recognition with the collaborative single “Lady Marmalade” from the Moulin Rouge! The soundtrack topped the charts worldwide.
Refocusing her sound to pop rock with her second studio album Missundaztood (2001), the album sold more than 13 million copies worldwide. It yielded the international hit songs “Get the Party Started,” “Don’t Let Me Get Me,” and “Just Like a Pill.”
While Pink’s third studio album, Try This (2003), sold significantly less than her previous work, it earned her the Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance.
She returned to the top of record charts with her fourth and fifth studio albums; I’m Not Dead (2006) and Funhouse (2008), which spawned the top-ten entries “Who Knew” and “U + Ur Hand,” as well as the number-one single “So What.”
