Sir George Martin Sir George Martin
He was the only "fifth Beatle" who really deserved the title -- without him the '60s' greatest group might never have happened.
Nina Simone Nina Simone
Now on a rare tour of the U.S., she's been the "High Priestess of Soul" for decades, making music that's an eloquent blend of joy, sorrow and anger.
The reeducation of Lauryn Hill
The hip-hop songstress says she wrote and produced her multiplatinum album. A lawsuit contends that's not the whole truth. Behind the case is a bigger question: What is a pop song, anyway?

Rock 'n' roll will never die
Lennon and McCartney come together in VH1's reunion fantasy "Two of Us." Plus: Never mind the bollocks, he-e-e-re's Johnny (Rotten).
David Bowie
As the master of self-reinvention -- from Ziggy Stardust to the Thin White Duke to Normal David -- he became the most influential rock star of the post-Beatles era.
Put your cat clothes on
Between the Beatles' flashy suits and Madonna's damn-the-torpedoes bustier, "Rock Style" examines the finest frippery in music.

Psychic hot tip: Mariah and Bill in Y2K
The spirits speak: More young stuff for the prez in 2000; eyes off my tush, says Michael Caine; Posh Spice's hubby likes to get into her knickers. Plus: Actress Patsy Kensit took who to bed?
Pants on fire
Lie detectors, all around! Plus: Tonya takes a another swipe; Bunny brothel honors Andy Kaufman, and the Spice Girls ... waxy but wickless.
