WASHINGTON — Crediting civil rights-era protest songs and their spiritual predecessors for his election, President Barack Obama on Tuesday sat in the East Room of his White House and listened to an all-star lineup of performers pay tribute to the music that he said fueled freedom marches and civil disobedience. The nation's first black president transformed the grand ballroom into a concert hall...

Either way, here are four easy ways to turn your date from romantic to Va Va Voom! this Valentine's Day. 1) Music:...

Okay, once again, Microsoft hasn't put out a press release about what to expect in the way of Lips DLC in February, despite the fact that we're already a week in, and there's already been three songs released. Thankfully, someone in the Lips Forums saw fit to post the upcoming DLC for February, and even went as far as to post for March. Now, that would lead me to suspect that this might not be kosher,...
STEVIE WONDER, Diana Ross, Lionel Richie, Marvin Gaye and the Four Tops impersonators were among artists aboard the carousel of hits on the Liverpool Empire stage last night.
Save the babies! This months classic album is Marvin Gaye's 'What's Going On'. I feel really cool and mellow listening to it and have heard it through a few times now. The whole album was recorded in 10 days back in 1972 which just sounds so crazy, I wonder how long the average artist takes to record their albums now? Because it's a reissue (30 years after it was originally released) there is a great...

As I prepare a couple of J Dilla compilations to be released on the 7th and on the 10th – anniversaries for the day he was born and the day he passed away, respectively – I’m mesmerized yet again by the lush musical tradition held by Detroit, Michigan, a.k.a. Motown, U.S.A. The richness of the legacy is as vast as it is dense. There are so many untold tales from that glorious time...
Number 21 - Needle In A Haystack by The Velvelettes The only song on my list that appears in Nick Hornby's "31 Songs", although other artists do (The Beatles, Jackson Browne, Aimee Mann, Bob Dylan and Van Morrison). I missed this 1964 release the first time round. Indeed it took Hornby and John Clarke's article below, to remind me how good Motown could OCCASIONALLY sound. And this is the...
Last week, VH1 announced that it was going to be airing a new series called "Famous Crime Scene" that will look in depth at the death of celebrities like John Lennon, Tupac, Biggie, Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson and Anna Nicole Smith*. Above is a trailer video for the series, which premieres on Friday, Feb. 12, and begins with an episode about Tupac's death. It seems like this might be another...
