REMEMBERING MICHAEL JACKSON

There will probably never be another star as prolific, entertaining and as successful as Michael Jackson. The world mourns his recent passing, at the age of 50, while also celebrating his magical rise to international acclaim. We have designed a special tribute with words detailing his life along with a moving photo gallery and a cool MP3 playlist covering some of his greatest musical achievements.

TOP 33: TOO-MUCH-HYPE

Caution: The content on the other side of this link may cause you to laugh, cry, holler and even shout "Amen." Try not to do all four at the same time.

OLETA ADAMS UNPLUGGED

In 1990, she teased us with the pop hit "Get Here." Almost twenty years later, she is still here as she launches her new album Let's Stay Here on the world. With a background of music covering jazz, R&B and even gospel (with the 1997 GRAMMY-nominated Come Walk With Me project), Oleta Adams talks with us exclusively about her success, her marriage, the new album and her future plans in both mainstream and gospel music.

TIMOTHY WRIGHT ONLINE MEMORIAL

Gospel music recently lost one of its finest jewels in the legacy of Grammy-nominated gospel singer/songwriter Rev. Timothy Wright. While recovering from injuries substained from a deadly car crash that took the lives of his wife and grandson, the beloved gospel giant passed away in April 2009. We have designed a special online memorial to pay tribute to his enduring legacy and timeless works. Although he is no longer with us in the flesh, Rev. Wright's powerful music stands strong in our hearts.
