Singer Deniece Williams (1950) cut her teeth singing backup in Stevie Wonder's Wonderlove and then broke out solo with "Free." She topped the pop chart with "Too Much, Too Little, Too Late" and with "Let's Hear It for the Boy" from the "Footloose" soundtrack, and she's won multiple Grammy Awards for her gospel records.

Journalist Anderson Cooper (1967) got his unlikely start hosting contestants on ABC's "The Mole" before he launched "Anderson Cooper 360°" on CNN.
