Hopefully it'll be on YouTube but I just get excited about these Unsung episodes. After Wednesday, I hope they run more episodes on the underrated musical legends.

Can someone let me know when this is up on youtube?

They have all been incredible, thanks Timmy for giving the headsup to everyone to watch.

It was good. It talked about his bout with schizophrenia and I also discovered Donny had a child with another lady during his separation from his wife.

Donnita. I knew someone who was doing a documentary on Donny who told me this. Does she have contact with the other family members. I heard her mother died. Did they show any footage of Donny?

manray10 said:

Yeah they show at least two television appearances, I forget the name of the one where he performed "The Ghetto" but the other appearance was on the Flip Wilson show performing gospel. There was also several pictures I never saw of Donny and several pictures from his funeral.

Donnita spoke of her sisters but she wasn't asked wheter or not if she's in contact with them and yes her mother died in 1997

I was moved and touched by this particular episode of unsung. Donny was truly one of the greats.

Roberta is the reason why the "Love, Love, Love" anthology was never released. She refused permission for music that she was featured on to be used.

Mong said:

There's also a shelved live album with her that wasn't allowed to be released because she wouldn't give the premission.

I don't know whats her motive, things like these could've helped to revive his career and bring back the attention to him and here she goes acting hyper-possessive.

That's a live album with Donny and her? Damn, never knew about that...

Mong said:

Yep!

It looks like they're gonna only do shows on artists that had a meteoric/brief taste of fame but then fell on hard times.
