Any word on who will be profiled on the new "Unsung" specials?

Anybody know anything?
I am hoping for The Sylvers, Shalamar and Five Star.

When they had that little pole, I emailed them about doing a comedy show similar to Unsung. The forgotten comics.

I had

Robert Townsend
Sinbad
Flip Wilson
Paul Mooney
PRINCE: Always and Forever
MICHAEL JACKSON: Always and Forever

Good selection, I'm really interested in the Sylvers. They've been through some changes. Someone told me the lead singer (can't remember his name) had to register as a child sex offender. WTF?

I heard another one of the brothers, Foster, I think is a music teacher now.
The youngest Sylvers brother died in a car wreck at the age of 30.

I also requested Melba Moore.

I would love to see a show on Minnie whether tons of people know who she is or not. I would like to see one on Teena Marie and Regina Belle.
