During the week of June 5, 2022, The Temptations, currently led by sole surviving founding member Otis Williams, welcomed a new addition to their ever-changing lineup, bass singer Jawan M. Jackson. He was part of the original cast of "Ain't Too Proud - The Life And Times Of The Temptations," the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical based on the legendary Motown group.

Also that week, Queen's hugely popular "Greatest Hits" reached a new milestone on the U.K. Official Albums Chart after becoming the third album to reach a whopping 1,000 weeks in that tally's Top 100. Originally released in 1981, this all-time top seller includes such classics as "Bohemian Rhapsody," "Killer Queen," "You're My Best Friend," "We Are The Champions," and "We Will Rock You."

Jackson Browne is among the guests on "Dirty Daddy: The Bob Saget Tribute Special" in honor of the late comedian which is currently streaming on Netflix. Browne performs two of his early songs, "For a Dancer" and "These Days," accompanying himself on acoustic guitar.
