The four-year anniversary of Late Night With Jimmy Fallon proved to be a huge success. While Mariah Carey played champagne pong on the show, viewers got an even bigger treat: two songs from Prince . The Purple One took to the stage, hair picked out, for a performance that proved why he's so legendary. Prince first rocked out with his latest single "Screwdriver" before diving into the 1979 classic "Bambi." He didn't perform with The Roots , rather he was flanked by his new band 3rd [...]

As promised , Prince spent Friday night in New York City, making a rare television appearance on Late Night with Fallon Fallon . And what an appearance it was: Prince and his 3rd Eye Girl backing band tore through his new single "Screwdriver" followed by past classic "Bambi". Watch the replay below - yes, Fallon is apparently the only guy ever allowed to upload Prince videos to the web. And to answer two questions you'll surely have at the conclusion of these videos: 1.) Prince's incredible guitarist is named Donna Grantis and 2.) Prince [...]

Almost exactly two years ago, Odd Future made their television debut on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon .

Last night, Tyler, The Creator paid Jimmy a long overdue visit to promote his new album Wolf. During his visit, Tyler debuted a brand new track titled "Treehouse", which saw him skillfully navigating a grand piano as Coco Maja Hastrup Karshøj of the Danish duo Quadron [...]

Perhaps the biggest moment in Odd Future's sudden rise to dominance came two years ago, when Tyler, The Creator and Hodgy Beats bulldozed their way through Late Night With Jimmy Fallon , giving a thrillingly unstable performance of "Sandwitches." Last night, an older and more seasoned Tyler returned to the show, performing a couple of track from his new LP Wolf with the Roots backing him up. He started out on piano, playing a placid new song called "TreeHome," sung by Quadrant Music's Coco, then transitioned into an all-over-the-place version of [...]

Two years ago last week, Tyler, the Creator delivered what could be considered one of the greatest television performances ever on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon , propelling him to music stardom, a bidding war which led to the formation of his very own label, and collaborations with everyone from Kanye to Miley Cyrus. So, naturally, when it came time to promote his new album, Wolf , OFWGKTA's head honcho returned to 30 Rockefeller Center. Tyler stepped behind the piano to preview a new song entitled "Treehouse" before grabbing [...]

Before and after Monday night's performance of A New Life by Jim James ( @jimjames ) on Jimmy Fallon, show house band drummer Questlove ( @questlove ) professed not only his affection for the single from the My Morning Jacket frontman's first solo LP, Regions Of Sound And Of God, but for the tune itself.

While her album has yet to see physical release here in North America, she did grace North American audiences with the debut of "Wildest Moments" on late night television. Performing the song on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon , Ware was aided by The [...]

Jessie Ware performed live on Jimmy Fallon last night. Her debut album, Devotion, came out last year and was featured on dozens of ‘Best Of’ lists. You can watch her perform above with The Roots on the late night television show.

When she released her brilliant debut album Devotion last year, some of us started wondering when the British soul singer Jessie Ware would make her way to American shores. And even though Devotion still isn't out in the U.S. (it arrives in April), Ware's now enjoying the shittiest part of the East Coast winter. Last night, she made her American TV debut, singing her shattering single " Wildest Moments " on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon while the Roots backed her up beautifully. And Ware was born for this.
