I remember hearing that when No Doubt won Best New Artist at the 1997 Grammys they had already been together for nearly a decade. That turns out to be true. In this archive interview footage from 1991 a very young looking and brown-haired Gwen Stefani talks about how the band has been together for four years and that she wants to be "a star."
Gwen looks quite adorable and even though her look has changed a bit her voice hasn't! (at the end of the interview check out the chick rockin' the Amy Whinehouse hair do way back then!)
It is amazing that a band stayed together for ten years before "making it" on the big stage. Quite a lesson in perseverance.
