Under a fingernail moon, surrounded by the silhouettes of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Highlands, North Carolina, JJ Grey & Mofro took a moment to soak in the beauty of this year’s Bear Shadow music festival.
“This song is about my love affair with the ocean,” Grey noted of his native Jacksonville, Florida, before launching into “The Sea,” the first tune from his latest album, Olustee. “And I know y’all got a love affair with these mountains.”

After revealing behind the scenes details about how he helped bring an all-star group of musicians together to make the Grammy-winning smash hit charity single “We Are the World” in the Netflix documentary “The Greatest Night in Pop,” Lionel Richie recently spoke to IndieWire about which of the participants he knows have watched the movie, and are still reeling from the down-to-the-wire recording session.
“Huey Lewis sat next to me while I’m watching the premiere, and he leaned over to me, and he said, ‘I don’t think we’re going to make it,’” the “American Idol” judge said at an event celebrating the reveal of the current season’s Top 10 finalists. “I said, ‘Huey, it’s 39 years ago. It’s been a success.’ But how we set it up, he was a nervous wreck.”

When Cedric Burnside accepted a Grammy in the traditional blues category for his album I Be Trying in 2022, it wasn’t just just a victory for him – it was also the first time any Mississippi Hill Country blues artist had nabbed a golden gramophone.
Music aficionados and tastemakers had long celebrated the blues music of northern Mississippi, though. A third-generation Hill Country bluesman, Cedric learned by watching and then playing alongside his grandfather, R.L.

(Toronto, On – October 12, 2023) Today, Nigerian born, Los Angeles-based artist TOBi delivers his bold new album Panic via RCA Records. Out now, the soulful, funkafied 12-track project further cements TOBi as a chilling storyteller with cleverly-written and tightly-woven bars as he continues to take us through pivotal moments in his life’s journey, but where TOBi becomes taciturn on certain tracks, the fullness of the production, instruments and layered harmonies, convey what’s left unspoken.
Listen to Panic: https://tobi.lnk.to/Panic
TOBi on Panic: “Panic is the epitome of unapologetic soul music and we held nothing back, which I am truly proud of. From the stories of vulnerability, masculinity, personal family issues, social commentary, there was no stone left unturned here. I can’t wait for the world to consume it in full and I hope people appreciate the work and energy put in this because we aimed...

Turns out there were some downsides to attending the coronation concert. Ok, maybe just one, according to Mike Tindall. The husband of Princess Anne’s daughter, Zara Tindall, revealed what wasn’t the greatest about going to the coronation concert after King Charles’ crowning.

Coronation weekend included a star-studded line-up of performances and celebrity appearances at Windsor Castle on May 7. There for the coronation concert were, of course, many British royals with Tindall among them. He and Zara sat in the royal box alongside other royals such as King Charles, Queen Camilla, Kate Middleton, and Prince William, just to name a few.
Downton Abbey and Paddington star Hugh Bonneville hosted the concert. The night included performances by Lionel Richie, Katy Perry, Take That, and more.

Lionel Richie is spilling his secret to maintaining a youthful appearance.
Despite plastic surgery rumours, the singer, 73, shared his best anti-aging practices with the Daily Mail, taking cosmetic surgery right off the table.
“That s**t goes wrong!” he joked, seemingly claiming he’s never gone under the knife to enhance his face.
“[Plastic surgery] locks you in for that year [while you recover] and after that, you can’t go naturally, you’re staying right there … You try and go back to reset, and you can’t,” he said.

Instead, Richie centres on “water, sleep, and sweat” and tries not to eat “too much red meat.”
“I know it’s real boring,” he said, adding that “[Sex] will work also… it’s good for your heart.”
The “All Night Long” musician has been dating model Lisa Parigi, 33, for more than 10 years.

When I heard that there was going to be a Coronation Concert at Windsor Palace to celebrate the crowning of King Charles III and Queen Camilla, my first thought was: “Wow, who would voluntarily perform at that?” Some international viewers might have expected the biggest stars the U.K. has to offer, like Adele or maybe even Elton John, Harry Styles, Dua Lipa or Ed Sheeran. But no, instead the baton seemed to fall primarily to people whose management didn’t get the memo that this was the most uncool gig ever: Americans!

King Charles III and Queen Camilla’s unexpected cameo during Sunday’s “American Idol” was almost as big a surprise for Ryan Seacrest as it was for everyone watching.
Following Sunday’s new episode of “Idol,” Seacrest spoke with Et’s Denny Directo, and explained how quickly the high-profile cameos came together.
“I have to tell you, I was driving in and my phone rings and it’s the executive producer and she says, ‘Well, we’ve got some news,'” Seacrest shared. “I thought maybe something happened [with a contestant]. She said, ‘Well, the king and the queen are going to make an appearance!'”
“I said, ‘This is so great. How?’ ‘Well I don’t know. They’re just gonna figure it out when Lionel and Katy are in some room in Windsor Castle,'” Seacrest continued, referring to “Idol” judges Lionel Richie and Katy Perry, who are in England after performing at the Coronation Concert.

From London to Hollywood!
Sunday night’s all-new “American Idol” saw a newly crowned King Charles III and Queen Camilla give a royal surprise to audiences from across the pond with judges Katy Perry and Lionel Richie.
Charles and Camila’s surprise appearance on the long-running singing competition series came at the start of Sunday’s show and just hours after both Perry and Richie performed at the king’s coronation concert at Windsor Castle.
Perry and Richie, who were broadcasting live from the castle for their address, were met by the new monarchs who jokingly asked how long they were planning to use the room for.
Jokes aside, both Charles and Camilla thanked the singers for their “brilliant” performances and invited Perry and Richie to the concert’s afterparty as soon as they wrap up their Idol duties.

It was the U.K.’s first coronation in 70 years — a cause even Hugh Jackman, Tom Cruise and Pierce Brosnan had to celebrate.
A star-studded lineup for King Charles III’s Coronation Concert took to an enormous stage on Windsor Castle grounds, the historic building a shimmering backdrop for a crowd of 20,000 on Sunday night.
The polished gardens — tidy from the monarch’s “7 a.m. weeding,” joked Downton Abbey star Hugh Bonneville, who served as host for the event — were a sea of red, white and royal blue as fans across the country gathered to toast to the king and queen.
In and among performances from Katy Perry, Nicole Scherzinger and Lionel Richie (the latter managing to tempt the king out of his seat for some bobbing to All Night Long) were video messages of congratulations and “Did you know?” facts about Charles from Hollywood royalty.

Perry — performing on arguably her biggest stage since the Super Bowl Xlix halftime show — delivered a rendition of “Roar” while drones formed the shape of a lion, denoting the newly crowned king’s coat of arms.

Lionel Richie had the crowd singing “All Night Long” during King Charles III’s coronation concert!
On Sunday, the “American Idol” judge took the stage for a performance in honor of the new king at Windsor Castle. For his set, Richie kicked things off with “Easy (Like Sunday Morning).”
Sitting at the piano, Richie got the audience singing along as they waved their hands and lit up phones from side to side.
He then got them on their feet with his upbeat hit, “All Night Long.” It was obvious that the royal family was happy to have the “Hello” singer there as they sang along to his songs, with Prince William and Kate Middleton‘s children, George and Charlotte, waving little union jack flags in excitement and Charles himself showing off some of his dance moves.

As the UK prepares for King Charles's coronation on Saturday, there has been ongoing chatter around the celebrations the following day.

American Idol’s April 30 episode saw the reveal of the show’s top 10 contestants, and while some were thrilled with who went through, others were disappointed in the two contestants left behind. Regardless, the judges loved every performance. The contestants took on advice from former Idol star Adam Lambert, who has made quite a career for himself and credited the show for giving him his start. The singers sang rock and roll hits that fit their voice, with one contestant’s performance even making Luke Bryan cry.

Carly Simon has faced her fear of flying before. In 1971, she forced herself to board a plane to Los Angeles for her first-ever show at the Troubadour, where she opened for Cat Stevens. In 1989, she made another momentous trip there, this time to attend the Academy Awards, where “Let the River Run,” from Working Girl, won her a Best Original Song trophy. And this fall, she’ll return to L.A. for the 2022 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, where she’s finally being inducted after being eligible since 1996.

Patrick McGoohan had already starred in All Night Long, a well-received rethinking of Othello set in Piccadilly’s jazz clubs—so why not try again? And so was born Catch My Soul, the Othello story moved to a dusty New Mexico commune with Woodstock sensation Richie Havens as the doomed moor. It was McGoohan’s first and only feature length directorial effort, due, perhaps, to the absolutely abysmal reviews. The film is helped by Conrad Hall’s photography but not so much by the co-stars, a who’s who of 70’s rock artists including Delaney and Bonnie, and Tony Joe White.

The Masked Singer had far less drama than last week—but it wasn't totally free from controversy. After the unmasking of Rudy Giuliani on the April 20 episode caused panelist Ken Jeong to walk off the set, he was back in his seat for the latest round of performances. Queen Cobra kicked things off with a rendition of Aretha Franklin's "I Say a Little Prayer." The biggest question was exactly how many cobras there actually are. A stage full of snakes performed the song, but only two stuck around to get critiques from the panelists. Cobra's Mega Clue was a shiny red heart that said "B. Mine." Up next, Space Bunny performed Lionel Richie's "All Night Long...

What exactly happened between Dr. Iggy Frome (Tyler Labine) and Trevor Vaughn (Ryan Faucett) after they left the karaoke bar? That’s the question for TV Insider’s exclusive sneak peek of the April 26 episode of New Amsterdam, the conclusion of a two-parter. As we saw in “All Night Long,” everyone went to a karaoke bar to have fun, but by the end of the episode, a few were Mia. Now, Trevor FaceTimes Iggy from a hospital bed — the paramedics took him to Baptist — and the good news is he’s fine. “I’m sure you know by now that you were drugged last night,” Iggy says. “It wasn’t just you, though. A bunch of us got dosed unfortunately.” The last thing Trevor remembers is the train ride home; the last time we saw him and Iggy was outside the subway station. “I’ve been really worried,” Iggy admits.

It was a uniquely filmed, stealth hour that centered the characters in a way the series needed.
"All Night Long" provided us with these tidbits of insight into these characters we love while also giving us a fun backdrop and the friendships we deserved and craved. Then, by the end of New Amsterdam Season 4 Episode 16, they walloped us with a shocker that has us counting down the seconds until its continuation.
What in the bloody hell happened to Wilder, Mia, Helen, Casey, and Trevor?!
TV veteran actor Néstor Carbonell was back to direct a great hour of New Amsterdam, and from that standpoint alone, it was a complex, fascinating experience.
They took a bit of a Groundhog approach, as we revisited similar scenes from different angles to provide some context to what happened with our beloved character the night before.
Floyd: How are you not nauseous and dying?

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for New Amsterdam Season 4, Episode 16 “All Night Long.”] A New Amsterdam-Urgent Medicine karaoke night takes a very serious turn in the first new episode of the NBC drama since February 22. Dr. Elizabeth Wilder (Sandra Mae Frank) organizes the night out at the bar, and everyone takes a turn on the stage. She and Dr. Max Goodwin (Ryan Eggold) team up for a duet, as do Dr. Lauren Bloom (Janet Montgomery) and Casey Acosta (Alejandro Hernandez) and Dr. Floyd Reynolds (Jocko Sims) and Dr. Iggy Frome (Tyler Labine). Dr. Helen Sharpe (Freema Agyeman), visiting from London, sings a solo. But it’s not all fun. By the end of the episode, the following day, Helen, Wilder, Casey, Trevor Vaughn (Ryan Faucett), and Dr. Mia Castries (Genevieve Angelson) are all Mia. “There is a very clear reason why certain people were targeted, and it’s hopefully surprising,” executive producer David Schulner tells TV Insider. “But if ...

Nestor Carbonell stops by New Amsterdam for the second time in Season 4 to direct, but this time, it’s a very different type of medical drama episode. In “All Night Long,” the team goes out for a night of karaoke and drinking … and then must face the consequences. While it is a departure, we do see them at work, like Dr. Iggy Frome (Tyler Labine) helping a patient confront a past trauma, and dealing with personal problems, like Dr. Floyd Reynolds (Jocko Sims) and Dr. Lyn Malvo (Frances Turner) discussing their future. Carbonell takes us inside directing the hour. You directed an episode earlier in the season, but that one was a bit more straightforward. This one is a bit of a departure from the typical medical drama episode. Preview what we’ll see from the doctors. Nestor Carbonell: You’re absolutely right. It definitely was a departure from the norm.

I know I'm not only getting old, but I'm there already. That's apparent in the fact that I remember seeing the 1981 comedy "All Night Long" at an advanced critic's screening in New York. Back in those prehistoric days before the internet, you had to read trade industry publications to get the background story or buzz on forthcoming films. Sure, the general public was always aware that expensive epics were experiencing production problems, but everyday movie fans were generally unaware of the scuttlebutt on mid-range fare. Within industry circles, however, the word-of-mouth was negative about the film despite the fact that it starred Gene Hackman and Barbra Streisand, both then very much at the peak of their acting careers. The film had gone through some almost surrealistic production problems that involved high profile people and had come in massively over the original budget estimate. I recalled thinking the...

Lionel Richie has been named as the recipient of this year’s Gershwin Prize for Popular Song, the Library of Congress announced Thursday, with an all-star tribute concert set to be filmed in March and aired on PBS in May.
“In so many ways, this national honor was made for Lionel Richie, whose music has entertained and inspired us— and helped strengthen our global connections,” said Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden in a statement. “Lionel Richie’s unforgettable work has shown us that music can bring us together. Even when we face problems and disagree on issues, songs can show us what we have in common.”
The tribute concert will take place in Washington, D.C., on March 9 and broadcast on PBS stations May 17 at 9 p.m. Et.

Nicholas Meyer’s ‘other’ fantastic film project was ignored for all the wrong reasons; Pierce Brosnan fills a heroic leading role in a revisit of The Stranglers of Bombay, but filmed on location with great attention to authentic details. An officer of the East India Company detects an incredibly murderous cult of Kali-worshipping Thugs, a criminal underclass of thieves that practice ritual mass murder. The story has roots in history, snarled in colonial injustice and xenophobia. It’s a period picture unafraid to be controversial. Also starring Saeed Jaffrey and Helena Mitchell.

No, not the 1982 Barbra Streisand movie (which come to think of it might be equally unfamiliar), but Basil Dearden’s sadly obscure 1962 British drama which received a barely noticeable US release a year later from the tiny Colorama Features. A mouth-wateringly rare assembly of jazz greats is on display jamming it up behind the histrionics in this unusual jazzploitation update of Othello.

Lionel Richie is no stranger to collaborations, having worked on memorable tracks with everyone from Michael Jackson to Diana Ross, but the legendary singer’s latest partnership is decidedly cooler.
Richie has teamed up with Tyra Banks’ ice cream company, SMiZE Cream, for a new flavor dubbed “All Night Love.” Inspired by his classic hit, “All Night Long,” Richie says the “All Night Love” ice cream was created by mixing flavors that he grew up enjoying as a child.

Carl “Chucky” Thompson, a producer and multi-instrumentalist whose slick samples of Seventies and Eighties soul underpinned some of the most popular R&b and hip-hop tracks of the Nineties, died on Monday at age 53, his rep confirmed to Rolling Stone. A cause of death was not immediately available.
In the Nineties, mainstream hip-hop started to move away from building tracks on obscure samples, choosing instead to craft songs around loops of well-known refrains and bass-lines from earlier eras. P. Diddy and his crew of producers — a group known as the...

Another day, another bidding war.
Apple and Netflix are among the deep-pocketed steaming services willing to shell out big money to land an Oscar-baity film. In this case, it’s for the chance to see Jennifer Lawrence playing Sue Mengers, a legendary super agent who donned a caftan-like a suit of armor and wielded a joint like a mace while trying to get the best deal possible for her A-list clients. Paolo Sorrentino, an Oscar winner for “The Great Beauty,” is attached to direct from a script by Lauren Schuker Blum, Rebecca Angelo and John Logan. The film will be produced by Excellent Cadaver, Lawrence’s production company, as well as by her producing partner Justine Polsky. Bidding has reportedly eclipsed $80 million and there are some mutterings it has reached $95 million, which means a big payday for Lawrence, Sorrentino and company, one that they likely would not receive from studios interested in pesky things like,...

If there were ever any doubt that K-pop is going global, one only needs to take a listen to Chung Ha, the multi-hyphenate singer-dancer-choreographer who stormed onto the international scene this year with her song, “Demente.” The reggaeton-tinged single marked the first time a K-pop artist released a song sung entirely in Spanish and immediately won over fans both old and new.
Born in Seoul but raised in Dallas, Chung Ha says she’s always wanted to be an artist for everyone, regardless of genre, location or language. To wit:...

Mary J. Blige has a long, illustrious career, riddled with Top Ten hits, million-selling albums, Grammys, and Oscar nominations. But there’s one project that has particular importance for her: “I have 13 albums, but my second, My Life, is my most important,” she says in a new documentary commemorating the LP, originally released in 1994. Blige sees My Life not only as the moment she “started speaking to my fans” but also as “the place where I survived.” That narrative of survival, of walking through the fire only to emerge stronger on the other side,...

While Mary J. Blige’s groundbreaking debut 1992 album “What’s the 411?” put the singer on the map and defined hip-hop soul, many fans feel her second, “My Life,” is the one that defined her.
The album, released when she was just 23 years old, allowed listeners into a confessional box of songs that looked at trauma, abuse and destructive relationships. It speaks to her generation and those before and after, and continues to do so. Songs like “Mary Jane (All Night Long),” “I’m the Only Woman” and “I’m Goin’ Down” combine hip-hop, gospel and soul, and opened an emotional door not just for Blige, but her fans.
While on tour behind the album’s 25 th anniversary, Blige decided it was time to document “where all this pain came from — I wanted to talk to the fans,” she says.

Adolfo “Shabba Doo” Quiñones, the dancer-actor who rose to fame starring in “Breakin'” and its sequel “Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo,” died Wednesday. He was 65.
No cause of death has been announced. Just a day before he was discovered unconscious, Quiñones had posted a photo of himself smiling and giving the peace sign in bed, writing, “Good news y’all! I’m feeling all better, just a wee bit sluggish from my cold, but the good news is I’m Covid 19 negative! Woo hoo!”
Besides appearing in the “Breakin'” films, both in 1984, he had a featured role on the big screen in “Lambada” in 1990. Prior to taking to the movies, Quiñones was already a part of pop culture history for choreographing and appearing in Lionel Richie’s “All Night Long” video.

Spears is an Irish thriller and the second feature film from director Gerard Lough – the man behind 2015’s critically acclaimed horror Night People. Shot in four different countries, this ambitious independent production will have a much larger scope than his first feature. With its moody atmosphere and pervading sense of paranoia, the film will be very much be rooted in the Neo-Noir style and explore topical themes both political and technological.
Aidan O’Sullivan, Bobby Calloway and Nigel Brennan head up an international cast that also includes Michael Parle, Yalda Shahidi, Rebecca Rose Flynn and Thomas Sharkey.
The complex plot begins when Private Investigator Kian (Brennan) is sent to Florence, Italy to find a woman (Shahidi) who mysteriously disappeared there. Meanwhile in London, a Dissident Republican (O’Sullivan) does an arm’s deal with a new seller he does not trust. In Berlin, a scam artist (Calloway) spends a weekend...

The Notorious B.I.G. is the only solo male artist being inducted into the delayed Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony next month. In fact, he is the only solo male to be chosen for the past three induction ceremonies. This astounding fact follows several years of voters catching up on such artists as Neil Diamond (2011), Donovan (2012), Randy Newman (2013), Peter Gabriel (2014), Cat Stevens (2014), Lou Reed (2015), Bill Withers (2015), Steve Miller (2016), Nile Rodgers (2017) and Tupac Shakur (2017) with none for 2018 and 2019.
It’s not for a lack of choices, however. Our new poll below offers 12 male artists who have been ignored for years despite being eligible for induction. Vote for the one man you feel most deserves to be selected for the 2021 ceremony.
We also recently offered very popular polls about which rock group you wanted next (won by The Go-Go’s) and which female artist you would choose (won by...

The gig ended with Joe Walsh’s “All Night Long,” which you can hear right here. It was the last time that they played together until the start of the Hell Freezes Over tour 14 years later.

Peggy Pope, who played a secretary in the 1980 movie 9 to 5, appeared in dozens of TV series and acted on Broadway, has died. She was 91. Her family said Pope died May 27 in Fort Collins, Co, but did not give a cause of death.
Born Florence Pope on May 15, 1929, in Montclair, NJ, she began her long career on Broadway in the late 1950s, appearing in small roles in a handful of short-lived plays. She ultimately would appear in seven Main Stem shows through 1975, including the 1970 revival of Harvey, for which James Stewart reprised his Oscar-nominated lead role as Elwood P. Dowd from the 1950 film.
By 1966, she was working in TV and made a couple of big-screen appearances in the early ’70s. In 1973, she landed a series-regular role in Calucci’s Department, a CBS sitcom starring James Coco that lasted only a couple of months. Six years later, Pope scored another regular TV role in Billy,...
