Ingrid Michaelson doesn’t have a record deal, plus she’s from Staten Island. But she’s overcoming her unhappy circumstances with a song that’s become a hit thanks to a new Old Navy ad. She’s broken into the iTunes Top 10 with “The Way I Am” (aka the “Here, Take My Sweater” song), and another song of hers got some play on the season finale of Grey’s Anatomy last spring. The only brand mentioned in “The Way I Am” is Rogaine, but luckily Old Navy came calling first.
