Beyonce is known the world over by one name and even her birth date 9-4-81, is immortalized on her B’Day album. She is the unofficial spokeswoman for female independence, sexuality, and empowerment. She cuts a striking figure on her many videos, and her Pepsi commercial is still one for the record books. Knowles and her counterparts of Destiny’s Child rose higher and higher on the charts with each successive album release. The bronze bombshell bounced back from depression to make a name for herself as a solo artist, producer, and actress, and became one half of a superstar couple by marrying one of the most influential music moguls in the business.
