At the  2018 American Music Awards , the Queen of Soul got a more than fitting tribute. Old friends such as  Gladys Knight took the stage alongside  Ledisi , Mary Mary, Donnie McClurkin , CeCe Winans and musical director Rickey Minor  took the stage to take the Los Angeles crowd to church on Tuesday night. Knight entered following a video tribute to Franklin honoring her history with the American Music Awards before Knight herself gave a stirring rendition of “Amazing Grace.” Ledisi, Mary Mary, McClurkin, Winans and Minor joined in on a tribute to  Amazing Grace , Franklin’s 1972 gospel album which to this day remains the highest selling gospel album of all-time.

She was 76. She won six American Music Awards throughout her career and hosted the awards twice, in 1976 and 1983.

Sevyn is a friend of the program and as Keisha Nicole can attest, somebody who has been in the game for a minute.

Sevyn also revealed that plenty of people have slept on her in regards to the record but now that it’s taken off, they all want on. RELATED: Watch Sevyn Streeter Flawlessly Cover Whitney Houston’s ‘I Have Nothing’ RELATED: Sevyn Streeter ft Ty Dolla Sign & Cam Wallace “Fallen” [Audio] On sampling The Gap Band for “Yernin’”: “My Dad literally would play nothing but bomb ass old school music. That was our thing. He would get off from work and put this big camcorder … sit it on his shoulder and that was his thing. I would come downstairs and lip sync to all the oldies. It’s a different level of talent. I love the Gap Band, I don’t know anybody who doesn’t love the Gap Band. It wasn’t hard to get that sample, now they took a nice little chunk ( laughs ) but they deserve that chunk. I didn’t care if they wanted to take the whole pie, I just knew that sample needed to be on that record. I didn’t care, I was just happy they were gracious enough to let me sample it. I love them for that.” On the feel of the record: “I feel I had to get some things off my chest. I felt that it’s a lot of n*ggas I didn’t necessarily have to prove myself to but I had to remind them of some sh*t. I’m appreciative of being a singer-songwriter but it’s not easy. For me it’s like 2 PM, 3 PM to 6 AM 7 AM. I take it so seriously. I respect that craft and for me with this record, I feel there’s a lot of things and attitude that I needed n*ggas to understand. I’m not talking about men specifically but people I think were non-believers. Whether it be an ex in the past who got too comfortable and forgot how great you are or whether it was anything.” As far as dating? Sevyn says she’s in a relationship and is happy knowing that it’s not public! Watch the full interview up top and below.

Out on her own, Dinah Jane ‘s been keeping busy with her new single “Bottled Up” with Marc E. Bassey and Ty Dolla $ign but Young Jas of The Madd Hatta Morning Show puts her on the spot. Has Dinah Jane ghosted someone before?! On bottling things up: “I have moments! I feel like everyone goes through things that are hard to confess to someone because they don’t want to step on toes? I don’t want to hurt them so I bottle up things that bug me. I let them slide, keep letting them slide. But towards the end when you get fed up, you just explode! And I have a bad habit of doing that.” On ghosting: “I don’t ALWAYS ghost! I don’t always ghost just because I’m afraid of hurting their feelings. What’s better than walking away without saying something? It depends on the situation. There’s are some folks I’ve never ghosted before in public. But I’m just trying to avoid wasting time! What’s best is just walking away sometimes because some they’ll talk you out of it.” Join Our Text Club To Get The Latest Music, Entertainment, Contests And Breaking News On Your Phone

Senator John McCain Dead At 81

View post:

Long-time Republican senator John McCain has died, a source has confirmed to the Associated Press. McCain, who had been battling brain cancer for a number of years, passed away in Arizona. He was 81. McCain, the former Presidential nominee, leaves behind his wife of 37 years Cindy; seven children, including three from his first marriage, to Carol Shepp; and his 106-year-old mother, Roberta McCain. McCain was four days shy of his 82nd birthday. McCain over the years became known as the “Maverick” of Congress and America’s most famous prisoner of war during the Vietnam War. The former Navy pilot with a famous admiral father was shot down over Vietnam and spent 5 1/2 years as a POW in the north, most of that time in a prison sarcastically termed the Hanoi Hilton for the way inmates were treated. RELATED: GOP Senator John McCain Diagnosed With Brain Cancer McCain served in the United States Senate for more than 30 years, becoming a congressman in 1982. He clashed ofter with Donald Trump and ran for President twice, first in 2000 and in 2008, when he won the Republican Nomination, ultimately losing to Barack Obama . Obama released a statement on the passing of McCain, saying, “Few of us have been tested in the ways John once was, or required to show the kind of courage that he did. But all of us can aspire to the courage to put the greater good above our own. At John’s best, he showed us what that means.” OBAMA statement on McCain pic.twitter.com/1uIj7zGraG — Zeke Miller (@ZekeJMiller) August 26, 2018 Join Our Text Club To Get The Latest Music, Entertainment, Contests And Breaking News On Your Phone
