Jazz and R&B meets reggae this Saturday (March 29), 2025 when six-time Grammy winner Dionne Warwick will create magic with Jamaica’s Myrna Hague, Duane Stephenson and Marcia Griffiths at Plantation Cove St Ann.

The ‘That’s What Friends Are For’ vocalist is set to grace the stage at 10:50 pm to deliver 80 minutes of her classic hits such as ‘Don’t Make Me Over‘, ‘Walk on By‘, ‘Heartbreaker‘, ‘I Say a Little Prayer for You‘, and ‘I’ll Never Fall in Love Again‘.

The music legend, no stranger to Jamaica, has earned more than 75 charted hit songs and sold over 100 million records.

Warwick, a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, was discovered by Burt Bacharach and Hal David in 1961 and went on to record 18 consecutive Top 100 single and received her first Grammy in 1968.

In 1985, she participated in the recording of ‘That’s What Friends Are For‘, which became a number one hit worldwide and raised awareness and major funds for AIDS research, which she continues to support.

Jamaica’s ‘First Lady of Jazz’

The R&B legend is joined by jazz chanteuse, Myrna Hague. Popularly known for her concept and cabaret performances, Hague is ready to deliver her jazz standards along with underutilised pieces from her ‘Melody Life‘ album recorded in 1972 for Studio One.

Touring annually in the UK and Europe Myrna appears frequently at Edinburgh Jazz Festival, London Jazz Festival-Royal Albert Hall, Birmingham International Jazz Festival and Hull Jazz Festival.

Her most recent Jamaica project ‘Simply Myrna’, a solo concert, was a ten-year run of musical mastery and stage excellence.

Reggae on soul

A songwriter and vocalist, Duane was originally brought to the forefront of the music industry through his written contributions to hits penned for Morgan Heritage, Tarrus Riley, Etana, Jah Cure Luciano, and Beres Hammond. Having developed a soulful, roots-rock-reggae sound he will treat Timeless patrons to his popular catalogue including ‘August Town‘, ‘Cottage in Negril‘, and ‘Fool for You‘ whilst bringing

special pleasures from his newly released ‘Weekend Dude‘ album.

A different feel to the Queen of Reggae

Whether as solo vocalist, duet partner, or a member of the I-Three, Griffiths has solidified her legacy as the ‘Queen of Reggae’.

However, Marcia’s first love for music was the soulful ballad. Her offering at Timeless will recall her formative years such as her interpretation of Roberta Flack’s ‘The Fist Time I Saw Your Face‘, and see her revisiting earlier works of the ‘Put a Little Love‘ album which contains her 1969-1974 top recordings.
