Listen Later

American voters are about to choose their next president, but whoever takes office will influence matters far beyond US borders. On the eve of the presidential election, we'll get to the heart of what's at stake in the Middle East, Latin America, Asia and Africa. Also, the world lost one of the biggest names in music on Sunday. Quincy Jones passed away at the age of 91. He leaves behind a legacy that spans decades and genres.

Listen to today’s Music Heard on Air.
