“I had a great time Saturday, May 24th 2025 at the Legendary “Baked Potato Jazz Club” in Studio City CA. My son Trevor Lawrence Jr. played with Grammy Award Winner John Daversa’s Big Band! This was big band jazz at its finest, and i had a ball! Legendary Jazz musician Benny Golson’s daughter (Brielle Golson) was with me. It was a great evening!!!” - Lynda Laurence Photo (L-R) Brielle Golson, Lynda Laurence, Trevor Lawrence and John Daversa  Tuesday, May 20th 2025 - Scherrie Payne and Lynda Laurene formerly of THE SUPREMES with Joyce Vincent were special guest performers at the La Voix Studio's* talent showcase. The evening was a tribute to Quincy Jones and the students performed songs spanning Quincy Jones' prolific career. The evening was co-hosted by Freda Payne. Staying with the theme of the evening Scherrie, Lynda and Joyce performed 2 songs produced by Quincy Jones "Give Me Night," originally recorded by George Benson and "How Do You Keep The Music Playing," which was recorded by Patti Austin and James Ingram. In the early 1990's Scherrie and Lynda, alongside Sundray Tucker recorded these 2 songs on their Rick Gianatos produced album "Supreme Voices." * La Voix Studio, "the Voice Studio", is a place where singers go to develop and improve their voices. Students learn how to use their voice by rehabilitating vocal issues, discover great techniques, eliminate vocal breaks, strengthen their voice, expand their range, gain power, balance, and control in their voice. La Voix studio is owned and operated by Scherrie's daughter Shoshana Payne Phillips. Scherrie, Lynda and Joyce are proud supporters of La Voix Studio.

He was the label’s first Head of A&R, and he helped discover Stevie Wonder, the Four Tops, Martha Reeves, and the Funk Brothers, who were the famous band of Motown musicians that played on most of the label’s classic ‘60s hits. He also worked closely with Marvin Gaye. Impressively, Stevenson has been nominated by the Songwriters Hall of Fame. As a songwriter, Stevenson co-wrote a dozen Motown classic hit songs. His best known song is “Dancing in the Street,” which is one of the most joyful anthems of its era. This song was originally a hit for Martha & the Vandellas (featuring Martha Reeves), and it was later a hit for rock band Van Halen, and a duet for Mick Jagger & David Bowie - MORE HERE
