       By the time she was barely a teen, Pink had navigated the precarious waters of the Philly club scene. Any time not spent testing authority at high school was spent tearing up the dance floor, and eventually, the stage. "I met this guy named Skratch, who was the best dancer in Philly," she says of her thirteenth year. "I started dancing with him and eventually I was singing hooks in the background for his rap group, Schools of Thought.
      A short time later, Pink was discovered by a record executive and joined a female R&B group. When that didn't work out, Pink signed to LaFace records and began her solo career. In the spring of 2000, Pink released her debut, "Can't Take Me Home," on which she co-wrote many songs. The album went multi-platinum by the year's end. Her debut included the Top 10 hit "There You Go", which was certified a gold single.
