Don't know...I was just responding to the OP about who I'd like to see given the "Unsung" treatment.
Sorry for the confusion... | |

Here's who I'd like to see 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 | |

I think this is probably better than anything Unsung can come up with. 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 | |

Ready for the world would be great as well as Bill Withers (I know nothing about him) also the following....
Pointer Sisters Betty Davis Nona Hendryx Andre Cymone The System

I would love to see one on New Birth. A Taste Of Honey, would be a good one(but i guess since they were featured in the "Disco" unsung, that cancels them out, booooooooooo, wanted more). The Deele, One Way, Starpoint,Aurra/Slave, Bernard Wright, War, Enchantment, Lakeside, & Dynasty. [Edited 3/15/13 18:43pm] | |

I would also like to see The Jones Girls or a child star group from the 90s. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

New Edition's real unsung member is Ralph Tresvant, not Johnny.
Bobby, Johnny and BBD wwere all much bigger than Ralph.
My vote for next season: Joe Tex Five Stairsteps Johnny Taylor Johnny Guitar Watson Stephanie Mills Kashif Jermaine Jackson Colonel Abrams PRINCE: Always and Forever
MICHAEL JACKSON: Always and Forever ----- Live Your Life How U Wanna Live It | |

I always found this odd since Ralph was the main lead on most of NE's singles. Then again, Mick Jagger, Lindsey Buckingham, & Steve Perry didn't really have much success as solo acts either. 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 | |

I agree with Ralph being Unsung seems like he had one solo album and that was it and did some stuff on the Mo Money soundtrack-I'd like to see one on Ralph. | |

Ralph actually put out 3 solo albums, but his debut was the only one that made any noise. | |

To be honest, they've jumped the shark on the meaning of, "Unsung", i say why not ? lol !!! Seriously, they need to change that titled. Speaking of, since they've kinda blury the line of the meaning of Unsung, what would you guys rename the show ? | |

The Show Formerly Known As Behind The Music. 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 | |

The DVD also has a few tribute performances as extra features. Here's a couple of interviews from recent years, one for PBS (2007) and the other about the Rumble In The Jungle concert (2009). 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 | |
