Lonnie Jordan (lead vocalist, keyboardist, original member) of the legendary group WAR and Jerry Goldstein (who conceived the group and has been it's longtime manager and producer). And Netflix documentarians, The Way Brothers, join me to discuss The Kings of Tupelo: A Southern Crime Saga.

They join me to promote the group's new holiday single, "(YES IT'S) CHRISTMAS" which offers an irresistibly funky groove that radiates sunny vibes and the holiday spirit. Like many of the tracks from the multi-platinum-selling band, the song began as an extended jam, which producer Jerry Goldstein sculpted into the final song.

Rediscover the Titanic Before it Disappears!

It’s been 39 years since the Titanic wreck was discovered by Navy officer Robert Ballard, 400 miles off Newfoundland’s coast, ending a 73-year mystery. Now, as we mark this historic find, Exhibition Hub and Fever bring the Titanic’s story to life for the Atlanta metro area with the “Titanic: An Immersive Voyage” exhibition. Come aboard the Titanic on the fateful night of April 14, 1912, when the "unsinkable" ship met its tragic end, and explore the wreck’s rediscovery from Ballard on September 1, 1985, that captivated the world.
