The man that we all fell in love with in the 90s, Jesse Powell, has died. He passed away this week, on September 13, at his home in Los Angeles. No cause of death was given.

Powell was an American R&B and soul singer-songwriter who was best known for his 1996 hit song You. The megahit song, which peaked at #2 on the R&B chart and #10 on the Billboard Hot 100, was on every slow jam mixtape that came out in the mid to late 90s.

Jesse Powell was 51 years old when he died.

The most popular British R&B singer-songwriter of the early to mid-1980s – Billy Ocean – is confirmed for four shows at Blue Note Hawaii in October. He will perform on October 13, 14, 16 and 17; starting at 6pm each night.

The Trinidad and Tobago-born recording artist has a string of hits: Caribbean Queen, Suddenly, There’ll Be Sad Songs, Get Outta My Dreams, When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Going, and so many more.

Ocean is a Grammy award winner who has sold over 30 million records. He has also given us a pile of gold and platinum records, all while hitting the number one spot on pop charts in the USA, Australia, Germany, Holland and the UK.

In mid August, R&B singer, songwriter and producer Tank released a seventeen-track project titled R&B Money. The record is noteworthy because it may be his last studio album- at least for a while.

For those not in the know, in 2021 Tank revealed that he was inexplicably going deaf in his right ear, while also losing a good portion of hearing in his left. The experience resulted in him fast-tracking R&B Money.

The sensual rhythm-and-blues LP features collaborations with Blaq Tuxedo, Feather, Chris Brown, Alex Isley, J. Valentine, Vedo, Rotimi and Tverse. Click here to stream/download the album from your preferred music platform.
