Songs like Buddy Holly's Peggy Sue , Leonhard Cohen's Suzanne, Beach Boys Barbara Ann and The Knack's My Sharona wrote Pop History. But who is behind these songs, that moved entire generations? We met the women who inspired Buddy Holly, Leonhard Cohen, Lou Reed, Bruce Springsteen and the Rolling Stones to their world hits.
