Wendy Williams is on Fire! Another View goes behind the scenes with the Queen of Urban Airwaves, best-selling author and Vh1 host. The show takes viewers from Wendy’s home to the office as she shares personal stories in only a way that she can. A native of Ocean Township, NJ, Wendy moves to her own beat dishing up juicy news and interviewing the music industry’s biggest stars with a bold style. Now, get a rare look at Wendy Williams, the radio personality, wife and mom who launched a successful career in one of the most male-dominated and competitive media industries of all.

Living music legend Kenney Gamble also shares the story of how he placed his fame and fortune to rebuild the streets of Philadelphia. Gamble is a world renowned music writer, composer, producer and CEO of Philadelphia International Records. With songs like “If You Don’t’ Know me By Now,” “For the Love of money” and “Love Train” his success has helped him build the South Philadelphia neighborhood where he grew up. He has invested more that $7 million dollars of his own money to acquire more that 120 vacant properties. He refers to his effort as “the biggest hit of his life.”

They landed on the scene in ‘90’s with a unique sound that has been touted as "Soul with a French Twist." The music of Les Nubians is a combination of R&B, jazz, Soul, Hip-Hop and African Rhythms. The duo consists of sisters Helene and Celia Faussart, who were born in France to a French father and a Cameroonian mother.
