In the year 2000, JOHN DOTE' found himself at the center of the promotional arena for Capitol Records. As the host and head of A&R for the TV series "NightBeat In Las Vegas", history was in the making for both Dote' and Capitol. The label had just released music from and inspired by "Jesus", the epic mini series. The first major network broadcast event of the year 2000 is "Jesus",the four-hour CBS televison mini-series airing in the United States during May sweeps featuring LeAnn Rimes and promotions by John Dote'. 

Margaret LeAnn Rimes Cibrian (born August 28, 1982), known professionally as LeAnn Rimes, is an American singer. Known for her rich vocals, Rimes rose to stardom at age 13 following the release of the Bill Mack song "Blue", becoming the youngest country music star since Tanya Tucker in 1972. 

Rimes made her breakthrough into country music in 1996 with her debut album, Blue, which reached No. 1 on the Top Country Albums chart and was certified multi-platinum in sales by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The album's eponymous leadoff single, "Blue", became a Top 10 hit and Rimes gained national acclaim for her similarity to Patsy Cline's vocal style. When she released her sophomore studio effort in 1997, You Light Up My Life: Inspirational Songs, she moved towards country pop material, which set the trend for a string of albums released into the next decade. I Need You is the third compilation album from American recording artist LeAnnRimes. The album was first released on January 30, 2001, through Curb Records and became a hit record from the television show "NIGHTBEAT IN LAS VEGAS" which was hosted by John Dote' on The UPN-SCREEN GEMS NETWORK.
