You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

Who the hell are the rance allen group? Digable Planets was a one hit wonder and that is 90s, way too soon-to many 70s, 80s acts to still cover. "Lack of home training crosses all boundaries." | |

I'm not making a list for you. I'm listing people I'm interested in seeing, which is what the thread is about. Why do you continue to criticize what people post? It's not that serious, it's just for fun. I know they're not going to do Charlie Pride, Slim Harpo, or Tracy Chapman anyway, because the people who make this show think black people only make R&B.

I would say they are. Outside of the "We Are Family" album, they didn't have much success outside of black radio and even that was moderate. "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.! All you haters will see!" - Kitbradley

That whole "Unsung" name is sort of controversial. I consider the show more of a Behind The Music sort of thing or just a Bio type show. I think they should feature any black music artist from any era that had varying degrees of success--without the whole woeful "Unsung" thing attached to it.
I enjoyed seeing the Gerald Levert episode btw. | |

The following is just my opinion & observation: My understanding from what the show seems to suggest from time to time is that artists who have had considerable levels of sucess in R&B had either crossed over to mainstream pop music either briefly with a hit or few (like Cameo or Teena Marie), or not at all (like Gerald Levert or Teddy Pendergrass). So in that context, Michael Jackson, Whitney or Janet wouldn't qualify. On the other hand, artists like the Gap Band or Cameo would since although they were very successful in the R&B world, they crossed over to pop only briefly. So while they would be thought of as successful when viewed only in an R&B context, the emphasis seems to be on crossing over to a larger pop audience. Several Unsung eps kept bringing up how a music label (or the artist themselves) wanted an artist to cross over. Remember when Miki Howard mentioned how with her first single/album her record company (Atlantic Records) kept trying to push her as the next Whitney Houston who had crossed over to pop in a major way. To put it another way, Prince 1978-1982= Unsung, Prince 1984- 1991-ish = not Unsung. [Edited 8/21/12 13:58pm] | |

If you bought the Condensate album at Best Buy, there was a 90 minute documentary DVD with it. There's also this interview on a news program: [Edited 8/21/12 18:03pm] You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B.
