Luther Ronzoni Vandross, Jr. (April 20, 1951 – July 1, 2005) was an American singer, songwriter and record producer. Throughout his career, Vandross was an in demand background vocalist for several different artists including Judy Collins, Chaka Khan, Bette Midler, Diana Ross, David Bowie, Barbra Streisand, Ben E. King, and Donna Summer. He later became the lead singer of the group Change, which released its certified gold debut album, The Glow of Love, in 1980 on Warner Bros. Records. After Vandross left the group, he was signed to Epic Records as a solo artist and released his debut solo album, Never Too Much, in 1981.
His hit songs include "Never Too Much", "Here and Now", "Any Love", "Power of Love/Love Power", "I Can Make It Better" and "For You to Love". Many of his songs were covers of original music by other artists such as "If This World Were Mine" (duet with Cheryl Lynn), "Since I Lost My Baby", "Superstar" and "Always and Forever". Duets such as "The Closer I Get to You" with Beyoncé, "Endless Love" with Mariah Carey and "The Best Things in Life Are Free" with Janet Jackson were all hits in his career.
Luther Vandross is the self-titled twelfth studio album by American R&B recording artist Luther Vandross and his debut album on J Records, released in 2001. The song "Any Day Now" received a nomination for Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance at the 2003 Grammy Awards. Parts of "Take You Out" were interpolated by Jay-Z on "Excuse Me Miss" off his 2002 album The Blueprint²: The Gift & the Curse.
"Here and Now" is a 1989 song by American recording artist Luther Vandross, and written by: David L. Elliott,, Julian Williams and Terry Steele. The single is from the compilation album The Best of Luther Vandross... The Best of Love. "Here and Now" became his fifth single to peak at No. 1 on the Hot Black Singles, and his first single to chart in the top ten on Billboard Hot 100, at No. 6. "Here and Now" also earned Vandross his first Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance in 1991. Vandross performed the song on an episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show and in the two-part "Do Not Pass Go" (season 5) of 227, where he performed during Rose and Warren's wedding ceremony in early 1990.
In 1997, saxophonist Richard Elliot covered the song from his album "Jumpin' Off."

Nowhere is the debut album by British rock band Ride.
Ride released three EPs, Ride, Play, and Fall, prior to the release of Nowhere.Nowhere was recorded live-in-the-studio with producer Marc Waterman. Waterman had a mental breakdown, which resulted in Alan Moulder mixing the recordings.
The album cover features an uncrested wave photographed by Warren Bolster. The original LP cover artwork had the band name in embossed text centered in the upper half and an embossed album title in the lower right corner. The original cassette and CD releases featured no band name or album title on the cover, but sometimes came with an identifying sticker on the outside of the CD or cassette case. For the 2001 CD re-release, the band name and title were printed visibly on the cover in the locations of the LP's embossed text. The 2011 Rhino Handmade edition features a lenticular design of the wave.
Nowhere was released by Creation Records on 15 October 1990. The album was issued in the United States in December 1990 by Sire Records, featuring three bonus tracks culled from the band's Fall EP. A 2001 reissue by Ignition Records further added the four songs from the band's Today Forever EP as bonus tracks. In February 2011, Rhino Handmade released a special 20th anniversary edition of Nowhere, featuring the remastered original album with seven bonus tracks, plus a bonus disc featuring a previously unreleased live performance at The Roxy in Los Angeles recorded on 10 April 1991. The set also includes a 40-page booklet with exclusive photos and a new essay by music critic Jim DeRogatis, as well as a lenticular-covered digipak book. In conjunction with the re-release, the band performed the album in its entirety at a series of live shows in October 2015.
Here and Now is a public radio magazine program produced by NPR and WBUR in Boston, Massachusetts, and distributed across the United States by NPR to over 425 stations across the United States.
Beginning July 1, 2013, Here and Now began broadcasting as a two-hour program with a full rollover meaning the show broadcasts from Noon to 4 pm ET airing Monday to Friday and generally in the midday hours on its affiliate stations. The show covers U.S. and international news, and provides arts and culture coverage.
Here and Now has three cutaways for newscasts: One from 01:00 to 06:00 past the hour, filled by national news from NPR. Two summaries of national news headlines are also read at 18:00 and 38:00 past the hour; these summaries are one-minute each and are produced entirely in-house at WBUR.
Here and Now first began airing in 1998, when it was co-hosted by Tovia Smith and Bruce Gellerman. At the time, the show was billed as a local or regional current affairs show, concentrating on newsworthy events throughout the six New England states. The show moved to its current format soon after.
