My mom will be really happy about this. 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 don't know who he is (Joe Morton.) I googled him and he looks familiar though. I recognize him from a few things. He's not a houshold name. PRINCE: Always and Forever

He's done a lot of Broadway work in addition to television and film. He's a talented, veteran actor. Educate yourself on him and his work a little more.

[Edited 1/27/16 18:08pm] I remember him from A Different World. He's not a household name though. I would have known him instead of saying "who is this guy?" Guys like Sam Jackson, Cuba Gooding Jr, hell even Blaire Underwood are more recognizable names. PRINCE: Always and Forever

Joe Morton is more a household name than Joe Tex, now let that marinate. Nick Ashford was someone I greatly admired, had the honor of knowing, and was the real-life inspiration for Cowboy Curtis' hair. RIP Nick. - Pee Wee Herman | |

I don't know who Donell Jones is. There's nobody I'm really interested in on the Hollywood Unsung, which was the case on many of the ones already broadcast, although I watched them. I used to watch NY Undercover sometimes when it originally came on, but don't really care about the behind the scenes. I'd be interested in an episode about That's My Mama though.

As much as you are good at Educating the Org on most things Music I'm surprised you never heard of R&B singer Donell Jones...If you listened to R&B radio in the late 90's he was there and his songs were played on all the mainstream R&B stations....So you prolly never heard of R&B singer Dave Hollister? Donell & Dave are not household names but if you Listen to R&B radio you should know them... | |

LBC you losing the Joe Morton argument dawg. You alone on this one. He is a far more accomplished actor than you give him credit for and please leave that Blair
Underwood shit alone. ![]() stratosphere with Joe Morton. Definitely Google. Joe's career go as far back as Grady's son in law on Sanford And Son and an episode of What's Happening as the department store manager when Raj won that dice game money and wanted to buy his mom a birthday present. Dude had a resume long before A Different World. [Edited 1/28/16 6:08am] Don't laugh at my funk

And had the funk (a TOTAL deal-breaker in her day if you were lacking) and could play real instruments (well) and could move grown seasoned adult people emotionally and spiritually and on top of that was a very good looking woman. I submit the following for anyone else who may be confused and is getting these two mixed up (gasp!):

Now I know the face so now I know who he is, but just by name I was clueless. I guess he really is Unsung .... the definition of it, lol. PRINCE: Always and Forever

And people only know him from the past 2 years. He's not a household name, sorry. Like earlier I didn't know who he was (by name) until I googled him. Once I seen his face than I said "I know this dude." Show of hands how many people knew his name before he was in Scandal? PRINCE: Always and Forever

Surprised Patrice hadn't been done earlier. I've often heard she assisted Prince on his first album in some way. | |

According to the liner notes for his greatest hits compilation album (The Hits/The B Sides) Prince wrote I Wanna Be Your Lover for her as well as Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad. He definitely had/has a thing for female musicians. Definitely looking forward to seeing the ep devoted to her. | |
