Wasn't Dionne Warwick a back up gal before Burt Bacharach picked her out to demo tracks for him?

Wasn't Whitney Houston a back up gal for her mother before being given some featured spots etc.?

I'd much rather listen to a Lisa Fischer set than a Mick Jagger one. I don't begrudge the latter his success but I don't think the former not becoming a name makes her "lesser" than the headliner.
