Well, the next and last Unsung of the season will be devoted to Washington D.C. native and New Edition's own, Johnny Gill

Also, come and discuss who else you guys would like to see on next season's Unsung.

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.

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.

Good list. I would also like to see The Jones Girls or a child star group from the 90s.

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.

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 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).
