H-TOWN
Wednesday, Nov. 4 at 8 p.m. - H-Town exploded on to the R&B scene in 1993 with their No. 1 song "Knockin Da Boots." The platinum-selling single from their debut album "Fever for Da Flavor"put both the group and their hometown of Houston on center stage. On the cusp of a comeback in 2003, H-Town was devastated when lead singer Dino was killed in a hit-and-run car accident. Remaining members Shazam and G.I. continue to keep the group and Dino's legacy alive.

JENNIFER HOLLIDAY
Wednesday, Nov. 11 at 8 p.m. - Jennifer Holliday has a voice unlike any other. The original "Dreamgirl," she rose to instant fame at the age of 21 after her unforgettable performance of "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" in the 1981 Broadway production of "Dreamgirls." However, she fell into a state of depression due to personal struggles and the release of the 2006 "Dreamgirls" film without her participation. Following her recovery and return to performing, Jennifer Holliday gives a rare look into her past, her struggles with weight, depression and MS, and her hopes for a career she feels has yet to fully blossom.
NATE DOGG
Wednesday, Nov. 18 at 8 p.m. - Since crashing the pop and hip hop charts in the early 1990s with Death Row Records, Nate Dogg became the "go to" R&B singer with a soulful hook. The sonic and spiritual leader behind the G-funk movement, he was a leader in this musical genre which combined soulful harmonies and gangsta rap. Ultimately, ill health and a series of strokes brought his life to a sad, tragic end.
