Fallen-on-Hard-Times Job: Darlene Love remembers at her low point, after her career in music had totally stalled, she was working as a house cleaner. After hearing "Christmas...Baby Please Come Home" on a radio while she was cleaning a bathroom, she decided to come back to music, and had more success than ever before.

Fanservice Extra: Discussed Trope. Claudia Lennear talks about how backup singers were supposed to look hot as well as sing, and how she was once given as a stage direction "Make men excite." She is a little disarmed when her interviewer shoots back with "But you posed for Playboy."
