Unknowns Who Became Stars
Many of our biggest stars were relative unknowns, working for or with other big names, until they eventually gained star status in their own right. Two examples are:
Bobby Goldsboro who played guitar for Roy Orbison
Waylon Jennings who played bass guitar for Buddy Holly
I'm sure there are many others.

Re: Unknowns Who Became Stars
Glen Campbell was a member of the Wrecking Crew before becoming a major recording star.
In the early years of her musical career, Cass Elliot toiled in the folk scene with a couple of rather nondescript (at least at the time) folk groups, The Big 3 and The Mugwumps. Then she got her invitation to join The New Journeyman, who changed their name to The Mamas and Papas.
Before they became successful singers on their own, Sonny and Cher worked for Phil Spector - Sonny as a promotion man and Cher as a backup singer.
