Then, one of gospel music's most powerful and iconic voices, Shirley Caesar, recalls her journey from performing with gospel groups, to going solo and answering the call to ministry, to 11 Grammy wins. Our cameras follow Shirley in-studio, where she records the theme song for OWN's hit series "Greenleaf," and to her second home, Raleigh, NC's Mt. Calvary Word of Faith Church.
Next, "The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson's" bandleader for 25 years, trumpet player Doc Severinsen, takes time out from his latest tour to reminisce about Johnny, how his flashy outfits became a standard part of that late night show, and why he'll always be a cowboy at heart.
Then, acclaimed Australian guitarist Orianthi recalls the audition for Michael Jackson that landed her a spot as lead guitarist for what would have been his final concert series, and reflects on his memorial service, at which she sang and played. In-studio with boyfriend Richie Sambora, Orianthi provides a sample of what fans can expect from the new album they have just recorded together, to be released in 2017.
