Luther Vandross's impact on music and his influence on popular artists today, such as Jazmine Sullivan and Beyoncé, is discussed in a conversation between host Brittany Luse and Craig Seymour, author of "Luther: The Life and Longing of Luther Vandross." Grammy award-winning jazz singer Samara Joy also joins the discussion, talking about her album "Linger Awhile" and her approach to creating timeless music.
Stevie Wonder, John Legend, Jennifer Hudson, and Samara Joy were among the artists who performed at a two-night tribute concert celebrating Quincy Jones' 90th birthday at the Hollywood Bowl. The concert showcased the music icon's illustrious career as an artist, producer, arranger, and conductor, with performances of his classic songs and collaborations. Despite not being in attendance, Jones undoubtedly felt the good vibrations from the Bowl. The concert featured memorable moments, including Wonder's performance of "You've Got It Bad Girl" and a powerful rendition of Lesley Gore's "You Don't Own Me" by Jennifer Hudson. The celebration also included a salute to Jones' collaborations with Michael Jackson and ended with a double encore, including Wonder leading the performers in his song "Happy Birthday" to commemorate Martin Luther King Day.
