Can't Buy Me Love, the Beatles, Britain, and America by Jonathan Gould and Prairie Fires, the American Dreams of Laura Ingalls Wilder by Caroline Fraser.

Both are excellent. And they both go into a lot of background and analysis of the world surrounding their subjects, rather than being a straightforward biography.

Fraser also wrote God's Perfect Child: Living and Dying in the Christian Science Church a while back (2000) and that's an amazing book.
