Lyte and New Orleans talent including Irma Thomas, Kourtney Heart, Rebirth Brass Band, Charmaine Neville Band, and TBC Brass Band.

In talk show news,

Don't expect to see Michael Vick crying on Oprah's shoulder next week because his people recently announced that Michael was backing out of the interview. 

Michael issued a statement about the decision saying,

"After careful consideration, I will need to postpone the taping of the Oprah Winfrey interview scheduled for February 22. I admire and respect Oprah and hope to be able to participate in an interview in the future."

Besides citing "personal reasons," Michael did not say why he won't be sitting on Oprah's couch.

Hmmm....sounds like he realized that Oprah is a dog lover and he knew that particular interview would leave no stone unturned.
