An established songstress, Cox has scaled the R&B and Pop charts with six top 20 Billboard R&B singles and an impressive thirteen No. 1 hits on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play Chart.

Her sophomore album spawned 2 No. 1 R&B songs including the record- breaking "Nobody's Supposed To Be Here" that spent 14 weeks at the top (the longest in history at the time) and "We Can't Be Friends."

In addition to her illustrious musical catalogue, the Canadian-born star has been recognized for her undying commitment to various social justice initiatives. In 2020, Deborah was honoured with Black Music Honours' Entertainer Icon Award in recognition of her 25 ground-breaking years in the music industry.

DIANE DUFRESNE

"Faut qu'y en aye une qui l'fasse. Pis j'donnerai pas ma place! Someone has to do it. But I won't give up my place!" sang Diane Dufresne.

"Faut qu'y en aye une qui l'fasse. Pis j'donnerai pas ma place! Someone has to do it.

But I won't give up my place!" sang Diane Dufresne.

The good news is that she found her place in our cultural universe - and made it totally hers - while also becoming an icon of Quebec music.

The first Francophone female rocker. Rebellious and free. Honest and creative to her very core. A reluctant superstar. Diane Dufresne – a true force of nature - has evoked passions everywhere she's gone.

From the Left Bank cabarets of Paris to the "tough clubs" of Quebec, Diane Dufresne was, at first, still trying to find her way. "I had some success in Paris. I thought it was a good start, but my career back here at home - didn't go so well at first. My inner rebel led me to the club scene. I would get up on the tables – that's how badly I wanted people to shut up... and that's where Clémence Desrochers came to see me about doing Les girls. I loved Clémence, because she saw something else in me."

The revue Les girls marked a big shift in Diane Dufresne's career. She met composer-musician François Cousineau, and introduced him to lyricist Luc Plamondon.

The chemistry among them brought this creative trio to life, with one hit after another, each one bolder than

the last. Her first album arrived on the scene in 1972, like a bolt from the blue. "In Tiens-toé ben, j'arrive!, I spoke joual and yelled. I told myself:

the last. Her first album arrived on the scene in 1972, like a bolt from the blue.

"In Tiens-toé ben, j'arrive!, I spoke joual and yelled. I told myself:

'I'll give it a try, but that may be the end of it.""

Still, the artist revealed herself.

Diane Dufresne became a voice - a phenomenonal stage presence! She's been called a diva (in the musical sense), but she's essentially modest and firmly believes that she has a lot more to do. While described as exuberant, she's mostly reserved and, above all, devoted to her fans. She's considered a provocateur, but she strives to go beyond her limits... because singing isn't enough for her. She uses her voice to express her emotions and display theatricality for her audience's benefit.

"Going onstage and meeting the public is a privilege. I create every show based on what the audience feels and sees - from the standpoint of their place in the room, rather than the stage and what I'm projecting. I switch perspectives. Maybe that's how I make that connection. I've never wanted a passive audience."

From Mon premier show to Magie Rose, from Olympia Hall in Paris to Place des Arts in Montreal, she moves from one project to the next in a metamorphic process that helps her deliver better surprises and - unwittingly! - throw off her critics.

"I was in a creative state of mind: open to anything, no matter what."

From a bird's-eye view, the 56,000 or so people dressed in pink who've come to the Olympic Stadium to worship their idol in Magie Rose show the full measure of the Dufresne effect. "I had to prepare myself for these emotions. I walked through the streets at night, with a stopwatch, for several months, to learn how to centre myself when going through the stadium. But when you get there and see the stadium awash with folks in pink, you tell yourself, 'Follow the crowd – they're the leaders."" And that's the incredible part of it, they're really in the lead!"

Diane Dufresne's songs reflect an era - the era of modern Quebec. She's totally at ease with her uninhibited rock and personifies the emancipated woman. Her immense artistic talent also flourishes through other art forms - songwriting and painting – which have made her an essential, "must see" element of Quebec's cultural scene.

"What really blew me away was the audience. I was criticized for my costumes, which were seen as crazy and extravagant, but the fans' attire was more eccentric than mine! That's how they responded to me. The audience has always been there. You give... and you get back."

Whatever she's doing – be it an intimate concert or the most grandiose performance - Diane Dufresne's onstage act is akin to walking a tightrope. Uncompromising. With an

open heart and outstretched arms. Sustained by her audience, who she can then transport to new heights.

The great thing about her career? She hasn't lost sight of the young girl in Tiens-toé ben, j'arrive! A bold non- conformist who "above all, will not tone it down."

<< Faut qu'y en aye une qui l'fasse. Pis j'donnerai pas ma place! », a chanté Diane Dufresne.

Heureusement, elle a pris sa place tout entière dans notre univers culturel, devenant ainsi une icône de la chanson québécoise.

Première rockeuse francophone. Femme libre et rebelle. Intègre et créative jusqu'au bout des ongles. Superstar, malgré elle; réelle force de la nature, partout sur son passage, Diane Dufresne a soulevé les passions.

Des cabarets du Paris Rive Gauche jusqu'aux << clubs tough » du Québec, Diane Dufresne a d'abord cherché son chemin. << J'ai connu un certain succès à Paris. Je pensais que c'était Parti pour un tour, mais, ici, ma carrière n'a fonctionné au début. Avec pas mon côté rebelle, je suis devenue la fille de club. Je montais sur les tables tellement je voulais que les gens se taisent. C'est là que Clémence

Desrochers est venue me voir pour faire Les girls. J'adorais

Clémence, elle a vu autre chose en moi. >>

La revue Les girls marque un grand virage dans le parcours de Diane Dufresne. C'est à cette époque qu'elle rencontre le compositeur et musicien François Cousineau, qu'elle présente au parolier Luc Plamondon. La chimie opère et le trio de création prend vie, multipliant les succès et les audaces. Ainsi, en 1972, son premier album surgit comme un coup de tonnerre dans un ciel bleu.

<< Dans Tiens-toé ben, j'arrive!, je parlais le joual et je hurlais. Je me suis dit: "Je me lance et ça peut finir là.” :

N'empêche, l'artiste se révèle. Diane Dufresne est une voix, un phénomène de scène! On la nomme diva, mais elle est d'abord modeste et convaincue que tout reste à faire. On la qualifie d'exubérante, mais elle est avant tout réservée et, surtout, dévouée à son public. On la pense provocatrice, mais elle cherche à dépasser ses propres limites. Car chanter ne suffit pas pour elle. La voix se met au service des émotions et de la théâtralité pour le public.

<< C'est un privilège d'aller sur scène et à la rencontre du public. J'écris toujours les spectacles en fonction de ce que ressent et voit le public, du point de vue de la salle. Non pas de celui de la scène et de ce que je

projette. J'inverse le regard. C'est peut-être ce qui a créé les rendez-vous. Je n'ai jamais voulu que le public soit passif. >> De Mon premier show à Magie Rose, de l'Olympia de Paris à la Place des Arts, elle enfile les projets en se métamorphosant pour mieux surprendre son public et - sans le vouloir! - déstabiliser la critique. << J'étais dans un esprit créatif, envers et contre tous. >>

À vol d'oiseau, les quelque 56 000 personnes vêtues de rose venues aduler leur idole au stade olympique lors de Magie Rose donnent la pleine mesure de l'effet Dufresne. << J'ai dû me préparer à vivre ces émotions. Pendant des mois, j'ai marché dans les rues la nuit, avec un chronomètre, pour apprendre à être centrée en traversant le stade. Mais quand tu arrives et que tu vois le stade tout rose, tu te dis : "C'est eux qui mènent." Et c'est ce qui est extraordinaire, c'est vraiment eux qui mènent! >>

Diane Dufresne chante une époque, celle du Québec moderne. Elle assume son rock décomplexé et incarne la femme émancipée. Son grand talent artistique s'épanouit aussidans l'écriture de chansons et dans la peinture. Ainsi, elle est devenue fondamentale et incontournable dans le Québec culturel.

<< Les réalisations qui me chavirent le plus viennent du public. On me critiquait pour mescostumes, que l'on disait insensés et extravagants, mais le public était habillé de manière plus excentrique que moi! C'était la réponse. Le public a toujours été là. Tu donnes et tu reçois. >>

Du concert intime jusqu'au spectacle le plus grandiose, Diane Dufresne vit sur scène comme sur la corde raide. Sans compromis. Le cœur ouvert. Les bras tendus. Portée par son public, qu'elle sait transporter en retour. La beauté de son parcours réside dans le fait qu'elle n'a rien perdu de la fille de Tiens-toé ben, j'arrive! Anticonformiste, audacieuse et << surtout pas assagie ».

In early 2016, Oliver announced his plans to retire from performing professionally after one last cross- country tour of Canada. His very last show was in Barbados in January 2017 as a tribute to his parents.

"It's been seventy-seven years and I guess that's more than enough time working any job, but it's always been my contention I should play until that feeling is gone but the feeling is still there," says Jones but he can no longer play at the same capacity, though Jones says he still plans on

In a career filled with superlative achievements, Oliver Jones remains one of Canada's finest musicians.

Le jazzman montréalais Oliver Jones a fait ses débuts de pianiste à l'âge de cinq ans à l'Union United Church. À neuf ans, il joue déjà dans une première boîte de jazz. Au fil de ses 77 années de carrière, il a enregistré pas moins de 25 albums (et un DVD). Le Dr Jones a remporté une foule de distinctions, y compris le titre de Chevalier de l'Ordre national du Québec, celui d'Officier de l'Ordre du Canada, et le prix Martin Luther King Jr, dont il est particulièrement fier. En 2013, Postes Canada émet un timbre à son effigie dans le cadre d'une série en hommage à l'histoire des Noirs.

Un vétéran de la vie en tournée, il s'est produit partout au Canada, dans une multitude des festivals, de salles de concert et de boîtes de jazz, en solo ou avec son trio. Ses pérégrinations musicales l'ont mené notamment aux États-Unis, en Europe, en Nouvelle-Zélande et en Australie, et sa tournée nigérienne a fait l'objet d'un documentaire produit par l'Office national du film du Canada en 1990, Oliver Jones in Africa.

Au début de l'année 2016, après une dernière tournée pancanadienne, Oliver Jones annonce son intention de retirer de la scène musicale. Enjanvier 2017, il offre un dernier concert à la Barbade en hommage à ses parents.

<< Ça fait 77 ans que je roule ma bosse et je pense que c'est plus qu'assez, quel que soit le travail que l'on fait, mais j'ai toujours dit que je jouerais tant que j'y prendrais plaisir et le plaisir est toujours là », affirme Oliver Jones. Même s'il a ralenti la cadence, Oliver Jones a toujours l'intention de donner quelques concerts chaque année. En septembre 2017, le film documentaire Oliver Jones | Mind Hands Heart est présenté en grande première au Festival international du film black de Montréal. Le documentaire a été tourné en coulisse lors de son dernier concert au Festival international de Jazz de Montréal en juillet 2016 et à celui de la Barbade. Il y présente des réflexions sur sa vie et sur son extraordinaire carrière, et quelques- uns de ses proches décrivent ce qu'il représente pour eux et dans l'histoire du jazz au Canada.

It goes like this: millions of records, a couple dozen hits, a JUNO Award for Band of the Year and sold-out shows across Canada. Universal Music acknowledges them as "one of Canada's top five selling bands of all time" and the Vancouver Sun has called them "Canadian rock heroes of the first order... the best performing band in Canada".

Then, as now, what makes Trooper what they are is great performances and great pop songwriting.

Trooper's ten studio albums have earned multiple gold and platinum awards and their 6 X Platinum greatest hits, Hot Shots, continues to be one of Universal Music Canada's best selling catalogue CDs and one of the country's most enduring party soundtracks.

"We're Here for a Good Time (Not a Long Time)," "Raise a Little Hell," "The Boys in the Bright White Sports Car,' ""Two For the Show," "Oh, Pretty Lady," "(Good Ol') General Hand Grenade," "Round, Round We Go," "Santa Maria," "Janine," "Thin White Line" - some of the Trooper hits that, according to writer Ryan Sparks, "have woven their way into the fabric of this country like no other bands have been able to do. Tune into any radio station from Vancouver to St John's and you're bound to encounter one of their dozen hit radio anthems that are still featured in heavy rotation to this day."

Trooper founders Ra McGuire and Brian Smith retired in 2021, but the band continues to perform concerts and festivals across Canada.

Ils ont vendu des millions de disques, enregistré une douzaine de gros succès, récolté un JUNO pour le Groupe de l'année et donné des concerts à guichets fermés partout au Canada. Selon Universal Music Trooper est << l'un des cinq groupes canadiens qui ont vendu le plus d'albums de tous les temps ». Le Vancouver Sun les a décrits comme « des superhéros du rock canadien [...] le meilleur groupe sur scène au Canada >>.

Hier comme aujourd'hui, on reconnaît Trooper à sa formidable présence sur scène et à ses vers d'oreille pop rock.

Ses dix albums studio ont valu à Trooper une multitude de disques d'or et de platine. Leur album compilation six fois platine Hot Shots est toujours l'une des rééditions les plus vendues du répertoire d'Universal Music Canada et c'est toujours la bande sonore par excellence pour les soirs de fête.

Maria," "Janine," "Thin White Line"

― autant de succès qui, selon l'auteur Ryan Sparks, << sont tissés dans la toile culturelle du pays comme celles de nul autre groupe. Syntonisez n'importe quel poste de radio de Vancouver à St. John's, et vous ne manquerez pas d'entendre l'un de leurs hymnes radiophoniques, qui tournent toujours en forte rotation.>>

Les membres fondateurs de Trooper Ra McGuire et Brian Smith ont pris leur retraite en 2021, mais le groupe continue à se produire en salle et dans les festivals d'un bout à l'autre du Canada.
