JOURNEY To Appear On 'The Oprah Winfrey Show'

"Don't Stop Believin'" is the theme of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" on October 5 when legendary rockers JOURNEY appear on the program to tell Oprah how singer Arnel Pineda became part of the band as well as to perform their hit anthem.

A photo of JOURNEY 's appearance on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" can be viewed below.

JOURNEY 's "Live In Manila" two-DVD set was released today (October 2). Filmed with RED technology, which utilizes special 4K high-definition cameras with a resolution exceeding 35mm film that gives the footage an extra dynamic quality, the DVD captures JOURNEY 's historic concert in Manila, Philippines. Performing more than two hours' worth of classic favorites, as well as new hits from the band's latest album, "Revelation" , "Live In Manila" documents the triumphant homecoming of the band's singer Arnel Pineda .

On March 14, 2009, JOURNEY returned to Pineda 's homeland and introduced him as their new lead singer to a crowd of nearly 30,000. Group members Neal Schon , Jonathan Cain , Ross Valory , and Deen Castronovo swelled with pride as they witnessed the Filipino people embrace Arnel and the music of JOURNEY .

By the time of the Manila concert, more than 800,000 copies of "Revelation" — the band's first album with Arnel — had been sold, and was supported with sold-out shows all over the world.

The "Live In Manila" DVD, like "Revelation" , is being sold exclusively at Wal-Mart in North America.

"Live In Manila" track listing:

01. Never Walk Away 02. Only The Young 03. Ask The Lonely 04. Stone In Love 05. Keep On Running 06. After All These Years 07. Change For The Better 08. Wheel In The Sky 09. Lights / Still They Ride 10. Open Arms 11. Mother Father 12. Wildest Dreams 13. When You Love A Woman 14. Separate Ways 15. What I Needed

16. Edge Of The Blade 17. Where Did I Lose Your Love 18. Escape 19. Faithfully 20. Don't Stop Believin' 21. Anyway You Want It 22. Lovin' Touchin' 23. Turn Down The World 24. Be Good To Yourself

"Revelation" debuted on The Billboard 200 chart at No. 5 and entered the national charts in six European countries in its first week of release. Within a few months, "Revelation" was certified platinum, journey's 11th album to achieve that status. In the fall of 2008, JOURNEY 's classic "Don't Stop Believin'" set a new high-water mark for digital downloads, topping 2 million in sales, making it the most downloaded catalogue track ever.

JOURNEY plays with a passion and commitment that wows both longtime fans and new generations of listeners alike. More than 700,000 fans attended their 2008 tour alone to hear the new hit singles "Never Walk Away" and "After All These Years" as well as the staggering catalogue of hits such as "Don't Stop Believin'" , "Any Way You Want It" , "Open Arms" , "Faithfully" , "Stone In Love" , and "Separate Ways" .

Oprah Winfrey, a renowned American talk show host and producer, has become an icon of success and empowerment. From humble beginnings to becoming the richest African American woman of the 20th century, Oprah’s journey is a testament to the power of hard work, resilience, and empathy. In this article, we will delve into the life of Oprah Winfrey, exploring her childhood, career milestones, and philanthropic endeavors. Join us as we unravel the story of a woman who has inspired millions around the world.

Birth and Early Years

Dreams of greatness, traumatic experiences and resilience, education and pursuit of dreams, early broadcasting career, the oprah winfrey show: a phenomenon, philanthropy and impact, a voice for women, the power of self-care and growth, conclusion: a trailblazer and inspiration, childhood: overcoming adversity.

Oprah Winfrey was born on January 29, 1954, in Mississippi to a single teenage mother. Her parents named her Orpah Gail Winfrey, but it was later mispronounced as Oprah, and the name stuck. Her father, Vernon Winfrey, left soon after her birth, and her mother, Vernita Lee, struggled to find work in the North, leaving Oprah to be raised by her maternal grandmother in poverty.

Growing up in rural Mississippi, Oprah faced numerous hardships. However, her grandmother recognized her potential and nurtured her love for learning. At just two and a half years old, Oprah learned to read with her grandmother’s guidance. By the age of three, she could recite Bible verses in local churches, earning her the nickname “The Preacher” among the church community.

Even in her early years, Oprah had a vision for her future. At the age of four, she expressed her belief that she would become a great person, determined to rise above the poverty she experienced. This early sense of ambition and self-belief would serve as a driving force throughout her life.

Teenage Years: Trials and Triumphs

Oprah’s teenage years were marked by immense challenges and trauma. At the age of nine, she was sexually abused by multiple individuals, including a family friend and her own cousin. The pain and suffering she endured during this time were profound, but Oprah found the strength to overcome these experiences and use them as fuel for her future success.

Despite the hardships she faced, Oprah remained committed to her education. Living with her father in Tennessee, she excelled academically, becoming an honor student and winning prizes for her oratory skills. Oprah’s father instilled in her a love for learning and encouraged her to pursue her dreams.

In her teenage years, Oprah discovered her passion for speaking and acting. She participated in various school clubs, including the debate club and the drama club, where she honed her oratory skills. Her natural talent for public speaking became evident, and she even earned money by delivering speeches. These formative experiences laid the foundation for Oprah’s future career as a renowned talk show host.

Career: From Local News Anchor to Global Icon

Oprah’s broadcasting career began at a local radio station in Nashville. At just 16 years old, she won a beauty contest sponsored by the station and was offered a job as a news anchor. This opportunity allowed her to showcase her talent for communication and storytelling.

After gaining experience in radio, Oprah transitioned to television broadcasting. She co-anchored the Six O’Clock news in Baltimore, where her compassionate and empathetic nature shone through. However, her emotional connection with the stories she reported led to her being demoted from news reporting to co-anchoring a local talk show called “People are Talking.”

Despite initial doubts about her transition to talk show hosting, Oprah’s natural ability to connect with people propelled her to success. In 1984, she was invited to host a morning talk show in Chicago, which was later renamed “The Oprah Winfrey Show.” Within a year, the show became the highest-rated talk show in Chicago and gained national attention.

Oprah’s unique approach to talk show hosting, characterized by her empathy, authenticity, and ability to tackle controversial topics, resonated with viewers across the country. Her show tackled a wide range of issues, from social and cultural matters to self-help and personal growth . Oprah’s genuine desire to make a positive impact on her audience’s lives set her apart from other talk show hosts.

As Oprah’s influence grew, so did her commitment to philanthropy. Having experienced poverty and adversity firsthand, she felt a deep sense of responsibility to help those in need. Oprah established numerous philanthropic initiatives, including the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls in South Africa, which provides education and support to underprivileged girls.

Furthermore, Oprah used her platform to raise awareness about important social issues. Her advocacy for child protection led to the establishment of a national database of convicted child abusers, known as the “Oprah Bill.” She consistently used her voice to empower the underrepresented and shed light on societal injustices.

Empowering Women: Oprah’s Enduring Legacy

One of Oprah’s greatest contributions has been her unwavering support for women’s empowerment. Through her talk show and various philanthropic endeavors, she has championed women’s rights and encouraged women to embrace their individuality and pursue their dreams.

Oprah’s dedication to women’s causes extends beyond her own success. She has used her influence to promote female authors through her book club and has provided platforms for women to share their stories and experiences. Her commitment to amplifying women’s voices has inspired countless individuals around the world.

Oprah’s emphasis on self-care and personal growth has resonated deeply with her audience. Through her interviews, she has brought attention to the importance of mental health, emotional well-being , and self-reflection . Her book club selections often explore themes of personal development, encouraging readers to embark on their own journeys of self-discovery.

By openly sharing her own struggles and triumphs, Oprah has created a sense of community and vulnerability that has touched the lives of many. Her ability to connect with people on a profound level has made her an enduring figure in popular culture.

Oprah Winfrey’s journey from a challenging childhood to becoming a global icon is a testament to her resilience, determination, and compassion. Through her talk show, philanthropy, and advocacy, she has touched the lives of millions, serving as a source of inspiration and empowerment.

Oprah’s commitment to authenticity, empathy, and personal growth has shaped her legacy as a trusted advisor and advocate for women’s rights. Her impact extends far beyond the realm of entertainment, as she continues to use her platform for positive change.

In a world often marred by adversity and inequality, Oprah Winfrey stands as a beacon of hope and a reminder that with hard work, empathy, and a belief in oneself, anyone can overcome obstacles and achieve greatness.

How to Watch Oprah Winfrey’s Live WeightWatchers Event ‘Making the Shift: A New Way to Think About Weight’

• Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. More content below

Oprah Winfrey is hosting a YouTube livestream on Thursday in collaboration with WeightWatchers. “Making The Shift: A New Way to Think About Weight” seeks to dismantle diet culture and inform viewers about the science of weight.

Winfrey exited from the board of WeightWatchers in February, where she served for nearly a decade, after admitting to using weight loss drugs, though she hasn’t specified which ones she took.

Winfrey’s latest event follows her March ABC special “Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution,” which featured commentary from Cleveland Clinic’s Dr. W. Scott Butsch, ABC News chief medical correspondent Dr. Jennifer Ashton and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center’s Dr. Amanda Velazquez, as well as pharmaceutical executives from Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly, the companies that produce Ozempic and Zepbound, respectively.

What will “Making The Shift” cover?

“Making The Shift” plans to tackle the collective shame around diet culture and weight bias, as well as how the idea of weight loss and health can be reframed in a more positive light. Medical experts, meanwhile, will unpack the science of how weight works.

What has Oprah said about the new special?

“As we reconcile the shame stories we have all experienced, I’m on a mission to keep this conversation going and help us better understand the complexity of weight health and how we can use the science and what we know now to enhance our lives,” said Winfrey in a press release.

“Anyone can quit a diet, but it takes a collective effort to quit a culture,” added Sima Sistani, CEO of WeightWatchers. “With the support of Oprah and our core founding principles of community and science, our intention is to invite people to a conversation to better understand the harsh realities that have led to our complicated relationship with weight. Like Oprah, we are dedicated to shifting culture, to change the conversation from weight loss to weight health.”

Who are the special guests?

“Making The Shift” will feature appearances from actresses Rebel Wilson, Busy Philipps and Amber Riley, as well as writers Katie Sturino, Marisa Meltzer and Tressie McMillan Cottom.

In this article, we will delve into the remarkable journey of Oprah Winfrey, her rise to fame, her influence on society, and the enduring lessons we can learn from her life.

Early Life and Struggles

Oprah Gail Winfrey was born on January 29, 1954, in rural Kosciusko, Mississippi / United States . Her early life was marked by adversity and hardship. Raised by her grandmother in poverty-stricken conditions, Oprah faced numerous challenges, including physical and emotional abuse.

The Road to Success

Oprah’s journey to success began when she entered the world of broadcasting as a radio host while still in high school. Her talent and charisma soon caught the attention of local television executives, leading to her first television job at the age of 19 as a news anchor. This marked the beginning of her ascent in the world of media.

In 1984, Oprah moved to Chicago to host a struggling talk show called “AM Chicago.” Her authentic and relatable approach to topics ranging from everyday issues to serious social concerns resonated with viewers. Within months, “AM Chicago” became the top-rated talk show in the city.

The Oprah Winfrey Show

Oprah’s groundbreaking moment came in 1986 when “AM Chicago” was renamed “The Oprah Winfrey Show.” With her unique ability to connect with her audience and tackle a wide range of subjects, the show quickly gained a national audience. It wasn’t long before Oprah’s name became synonymous with daytime television.

One of the show’s defining features was Oprah’s commitment to addressing important social issues, including racism, abuse, addiction, and mental health. Her willingness to share her own personal struggles, such as her experiences with childhood abuse and her battles with weight, created a deep sense of trust and empathy with her viewers.

“The Oprah Winfrey Show” was not just a talk show; it was a platform for change and empowerment. Oprah used her influence to promote literacy, education, and philanthropy. She started the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls in South Africa, providing quality education to underprivileged girls.

Oprah Winfrey Shares Her Remarkable Journey and What She’s Learned: 'I'm Grateful for It All'

At 70, the beloved icon and cultural trailblazer is driven by gratitude and a lifelong purpose to uplift others

When Oprah Winfrey appeared on the cover of PEOPLE for the first time, in January 1987, the milestone was not lost on her. "It was nothing I had ever imagined could happen to me," recalls Winfrey, whose hit talk show had just surpassed Phil Donahue’s atop the national TV ratings. "I was bedazzled." By any measure, the now 70-year-old icon has been bedazzling the world herself ever since. A cultural trailblazer, movie star, media mogul and global philanthropist, Winfrey is flush with gratitude for her remarkable journey. Most of all, she embraces a lifelong purpose to inspire and uplift others. In an interview for PEOPLE's 50th anniversary special issue, Winfrey says: "Gratitude really is my religion."

What did you buy with your first big paycheck?  

I was going to furnish my first apartment in Chicago, and I walked into Crate & Barrel. There was a flatware set for $49.95. I did not get it because I still didn’t think I was making enough money to afford a six-piece set. Many years later, I was in a store and somebody was debating whether to get the flatware, and I went to the counter and paid for it because I remember that feeling of not being able to afford it. I love doing that.

You’ve always given back.

I very much remember where I come from.

What would you tell your younger self starting out?

"Hold on, girl. Hold on to yourself." The most important thing is to remain centered so whether you're on the cover of PEOPLE or not, your identity isn't tied to what the rest of the world says it is. Being able to not get confused by what the external says about your internal self is the most important thing for anybody who's going to take the fame ride.

One of the reasons I have remained so centered over the years is because when it happened to me, I'd already been working for a very long time. I'd been in TV since I was 19, and so by 1987 I was already, what, 33? And I had grown up centered in the church and had a really firm foundation of who I was. So I was excited to share myself, my talent, that show with the audience, but I wasn't really trying to figure out who I was. 

At 70, does your outlook change?

No. When you’re grateful for what you have, you end up seeing you have more than you imagine. Start with your breath, and recognize what an absolute miracle it is that your heart’s still pumping. That is a revelation to me every day. I’m grateful for it all.

Who in the industry has been most supportive over the course of your journey?

In those early years, it was Maya Angelou who kept me grounded, the person who kept me absolutely centered. [And] I've never been to a therapist because I had so many on the show, but my real therapy came from downloading whatever was happening in the day with Gayle [King] every night. There wasn't a day that we missed being on some kind of phone call talking about what had happened in our days. I realized years later, talking to an expert about something else, that that was my therapy, that was my release. It was the way I regulated myself every day. I've had one of the best friendships anybody could have. So having Maya, having Gayle, having Sidney Poitier before he passed... Those were the people who kept me grounded.

You've enjoyed many career milestones, but does the 2007 opening of the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls in South Africa hold a special place for you?

Yes. It's incredible that these young girls whom I saw something in, that they themselves did not see or feel or know at the time, are now making their way out in the world. It is just one of the greatest rewards of my life.

You have an amazing ability to distill complicated thoughts and feelings so that people can digest them and learn. Where does that gift come from?

Well, when I was a little kid living on a dirt road in Mississippi, I was the one that was always playing the teacher. And if we were playing house, I was the mother. Even if I was the younger girl, I would have to be the mother over everybody else. Some people call that bossy — I just call it, well, I know better, so I should be the one. I would have to say that teaching is my first love.

And the thing that still brings me the greatest level of satisfaction is having a conversation, and in the middle of the conversation, someone discovers something or hears something and says, "Oh, I never thought of it that way before." I have to tell you, on the Oprah Show , when people actually said that out loud, I would just [cry] because that's the best thing that could happen. That is what enlightenment is.

What are your hopes and fears for your 70s?

For everybody who's approaching this stage in your life, your number one concern is your health. I don't live with a fear of death, but I live with a conscious acknowledgement that it's possible at any time... I would say that one of the reasons why I can sit in wisdom now, and I literally sit in the wisdom and I make no apologies for it, is because I have paid attention and I am really fully conscious. I've been paying attention for a very long time.

When I turned 50, Maya Angelou wrote a poem for me. She says, "I have nothing to give you, but my heart and my words" and she wrote a poem called Continue. One of the most important lines from that poem is, "My wish for you is that you continue to astonish a mean world with your acts of kindness." And that is what I intend to do. She also says, "I hope that you let gratitude be the pillow upon which you kneel" and that is the way I rule my life. I sound like a broken record, but gratitude really is my religion.
