Billy Ocean is one of the most prominent R&B stars to hail from the U.K., selling over 30 million records in his lifetime. Born in Trinidad, Ocean settled in London’s East End at just seven years old. The calypso-crazy kid was influenced by soul singers like Otis Redding and Sam Cooke, as well as pop groups like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Multiple Gold and Platinum records included hits like “Red Light Spells Danger,” Grammy winner “Caribbean Queen (No More Love On The Run)” and “Get Outta My Dreams; Get Into My Car.” California rockers Ambrosia open the evening. The group scored five Top 40 hit singles between 1975 and 1980 with songs such as “Biggest Part of Me” and “You’re the Only Woman (You & I).” Billy Ocean with special guest Ambrosia will be at the Ferguson Center in Newport News on February 14 at 8 p.m. Enter now to win a pair of tickets!
In college basketball, the name Bob Knight is synonymous with greatness and winning. Coach Knight is among the youngest in his field to have won 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700 and 800 career games. He was the first men’s college basketball coach to have reached 900 wins and until recently was the only member of this exclusive club. Bob Knight is his own man, one who represents high principles, expectations and demands for his players, his coaching staff and, most of all, himself. No other coach can cite NCAA and NIT championships and Olympic and Pan American gold medals among his achievements, and only two have won more than the three national championships he has. In 1991 he was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, and in 2011 was voted into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame. Knight will speak at the Ferguson Center in Newport News on February 12 at 7:30 p.m. Enter now to win a pair of tickets!
