After doing a few episodes on scandals and artists who did time in prison, we’re flipping the script and shining a light on the good people in music – artists who pay it forward and have a reputation for just being good people.

We’ve got Dolly Parton sending books to kids through her Imagination Library and Alice Cooper swinging his golf clubs to fund youth programs. Ludacris donating school supplies and clothes to thousands of kids and Jon Bon Jovi fighting poverty through his Soul Foundation. Taylor Swift, U2, Elton John, Kendrick Lamar – these aren’t just stars; they’re the real deal.

In a world full of headlines that drag us down, these artists prove music can lift us up. So join us as we celebrate the heart behind the hits. Let’s roll!
