I would like to add this person. His life is scandalous. I doubt if he will agree to it. He won't even come on the internet anymore. Due to all the nasty horrible remarks people make about him..

Tevin Campbell

Yea! I saw him on Monique. He said on there that he was hesitant about the music industry now. That is the story he gave.

I also heard that lame Quincy Jones remake. But didn't know about "Life After" .That show always leaves out the scandal. They never tell the whole story.

What about Digital Underground? They were one of the last rap groups to break and of course Tupac emerged from this group.

Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs!!! He sang on Rick James 1981 album Street Songs. He reportedly dated La Toya Jackson for a time.

From what I've heard from a friend of mine, some of the siblings of Slave are trying to put togther an episode for them. Keeping my fingers crossed that it will happen.

I agree that a Mother's Finest episode would be great.

I never knew Freddy "Boom Boom" Washington had a singing career. As for LaToya, was this before or after Bobby DeBarge? I have to say, he doesn't seem her type AT ALL.

That said, I have sometimes wondered what happened to him.

I knew about his singing career. But I seriously doubt he date La Toya....

Why lol?

I'll bite. Remember YOU ASKED!

Well frankly she was supposed to be kicking w/ it Bobby D during the time anyone would be sweatin' ol Boom Boom and not to mention I think Bobby was more to her liking lookswise. (hint hint) It seems DeBarge men had a mainline to Jackson sister poontag, to be slightly crass about it!

Perhaps Freddy was LaToya's "Jermaine Dupri moment".

Then add in his uncanny resemblence to Joe....naw, can't see it!

This would suit better for a "Life After" as he was more well know as an actor then singer.

Love them....good. Just the other day I was thinking maybe Clyde McPhatter should be on this show. I dug the whole doo wop era.

Yes, Doo-Wop and 50's groups have been absent from this series.

I'd also like to hear from Hank Ballard, The "5" Royals, The Cadillacs, The Flamingos and others.

Yes, Clyde McPhatter's story definitely needs his story to be told. For someone who's often mentioned in the same breath as Sam Cooke and Jackie Wilson, so few people know about him. I know the songs and the voice, but next to nothing about the man.

I saw a bit on The Weather Girls in the Sylvester Unsung. They haven't done a whole show yet.

Peaches and Herb! No, they haven't done one, but I'd watch that.
