Legendary music producer Quincy Jones passed over the weekend (on November 3rd) at his home in Los Angeles. The 91-year-old went peacefully, surrounded by his loved ones.

Jones came to prominence in the 1950s as a jazz arranger and conductor before producing pop hit records for Lesley Gore in the early 1960s. He would go on to make music with some of the biggest names in pop culture: Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Donna Summer, James Ingram, and that is just to name a few.

After initially confirming only two shows at the Bethesda Theater (7719 Wisconsin Ave.) in Bethesda, Maryland, R&B group Dru Hill has been forced to add another. To that end, they will now do a total of three back-to-back concerts at the venue.

The men will perform on Friday, November 15 at 8:30 p.m.; Saturday, November 16 at 8:00 p.m.; and Sunday, November 17 at 7:00 p.m. Additional information and links to tickets are available on the venue’s website.

As she is gearing up for the release of her new album “Gratitude,” which is due out on November 15, Mary J. Blige continues to share tracks from the project. The latest is “You Ain’t The Only One.” 

The new song, which is accompanied by its official video, went live on streaming platforms a few days ago, on October 21. If you have not yet seen the clip, click here or on the image above to check it out, and remember to like, comment, and share.

Canadian singer, songwriter, actress, and record producer Deborah Cox will perform at the Bethesda Theater (7719 Wisconsin Avenue) in Maryland on Friday, November 8th. This concert will start at 8:30 p.m. local time.

Over the years, Cox has amassed platinum albums and several number-one R&B and dance hit songs. In addition to her chart-topping records, she has also won several major awards, including the America Music Awards, NAACP Image Awards, Juno Awards, and Soul Train Awards. Click here for tickets.
