Lauryn Hill, ‘the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Robert ‘Dubwise’ Browne has spent the greater part of the past two decades building up a name for himself among Jamaica’s burgeoning music and recording industries, and has indeed cemented a prime position as the go-to guitarist for a slew of notable projects. Such acts include the likes of world famous Jazz pianist Monty Alexander, and the sons of the late reggae icon Bob Marley – Damian Jnr Gong Marley and Julian Marley. His talents have taken him across the globe, performing for Grammy-winning artists Shaggy and other high profile, chart-topping artists such as Diana King, Joe, Heather Headley, Maxi Priest, Sly & Robbie, Dennis Brown, and Tessanne Chin (Season 5 Winner Of NBC’s ‘The Voice’) to name a few.

A Thousand Beautiful Things is a song by Annie Lennox, released as the second promotional-only single from her album Bare. Ex-Factor is the second single from American recording artist Lauryn Hill from her debut solo album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. Only Love Can Hurt Like This is a song by English singer Paloma Faith, written by Diane Warren. Say My Name is a song by the girl group Destinys Child from their second studio album The Writings on the Wall. Jolene is a song written and performed by country music artist Dolly Parton. It was released as the first single and title track from her album of the same name, produced by Bob Ferguson. Total Eclipse of the Heart is a song recorded by Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler.

As wonderful and compelling as the Fugees were during their brief moment in the sun (circa 1996), it's difficult to make the case for a Fugees Greatest Hits. The trio only put out two records, the first a muddled attempt at weed-soaked hardcore, the second an excellent fusion of hip-hop and soul, so the obvious choice for record-buyers is that final full-length, The Score. This compilation includes seven tracks from The Score, prefacing it with two selections from the 1994 debut (Blunted on Reality) and tacking on Lauryn Hill's first solo recording, "The Sweetest Thing" originally on the Love Jones soundtrack and later included on her first album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.

Grammy - and Academy Award-winning R&B singer, songwriter, and pianist John Legend, born John Stephens, was a child prodigy who grew up in Ohio, where he began singing gospel and playing piano at the age of five. Stephens left his home state at 16 to attend college in Philadelphia, and it was there that he first found a larger audience. Not yet out of his teens, Stephens was tapped to play piano on Lauryn Hill's "Everything Is Everything," a Top 40 hit for the Fugees member's 1998 album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. After completing college, Stephens moved to New York, where he built a loyal following playing in nightclubs and releasing CDs, such as Live at Jimmy's Uptown (2001) and Live at SOB's (2003), that he sold at shows. He also became an in-demand session musician, playing and occasionally writing for a wide array of artists including Alicia Keys, Twista, Janet Jackson, and Kanye West.
