Editorial STUFF

In this right ROYAL edition of B&S online we salute and welcome back the QUEEN of U.K soul BEVERLEY KNIGHT. We talk to the KING of cool LENNY KRAVITZ and sit down with the all time great, and KING of Latin Soul JOE BATAAN. Of course we also remember the KING of pop MICHAEL JACKSON, as SHARON DAVIS looks back at the life of this iconic enigma. (Please don't forget to leave your tribute message for Michael on the right hand side of the site and read them all online)... BILLY PAUL gets to the point in a full interview as he recounts his, at times, turbulent life in the documentary 'AM I BLACK ENOUGH FOR YOU.' And if that wasn't enough, we just have just enough time to catch up EX- DESTINYS CHILD MICHELLE WILLIAMS as she prepares for the role of ROXIE HART in the West End musical CHICAGO and, and, and JUST catch LOUISE POLLOCK before her diary goes crazy - HOWZATT?? OUT!! Out of this world that is, with stella competitions this month in the shape of ticket giveaways for not one, but FOUR festivals! Camp Bestival, Underage, Field Day and The Big Green Gathering (make sure you take lots of sun block!?) We have WILL DOWNING - CLASSIQUE cd's to give away and Leela James at the Jazz Cafe tickets to win... Don't forget our esteemed B&S columnists; The Guv'nor SNOWBOY looks at all things jazz, SHARON DAVIS gives you all the latest MOTOWN news in MOTOWN TRACKING - in this turbulent time for the label. B&S newbee BEN LOVETT continues his impressive debut last month with his dance column THE GROOVE YARD (please don't forget to get in touch with our columnists with any news that you feel would benefit others). Our LIVE REVIEWS keep up the pace with LENNY KRAVITZ @o2 Brixton Academy, DAVID SANBORN and friends @Barbican and LITTLE BROTHER @Jazz Cafe... The only thing now I need to mention now is...
