Wayne Shorter was one of jazz's leading figures in the late 20th and early 21st centuries as both a composer and saxophonist.
In 1980 Lakeside went storming up the charts again with their smash number one single, Fantastic Voyage, which was produced by the self-contained band. The group later continued their success with the Billboard Top Ten singles Raid, Outrageous, and a string of R&B party songs and ballads.
Neo-soul diva Beverley Knight channeled the sound and spirit of classic R&B to emerge as one of Britain's biggest new pop stars of the '90s.
