Who else should have an Unsung Tv One Ep? I am talking about musically talented folk who haven't gotten their just due. I say:
Switch The Sylvers Syreeta Wright Melba Moore Angela Bofill Slave Ohio Players Shalamar/Howard Hewitt Fifth Dimension The Dramatics Stephanie Mills "Lack of home training crosses all boundaries." | |

Switch was mentioned a few times on DeBarge but I don't know about a full episode.
Maybe they'll have episodes on these: The Sylvers Mary Wells Shalamar (oh I can so see this, now if all the members do the interviews, then that'll be plus) Doris Troy Eddie Kendricks (YES even WITH the Temptations and Eddie's hits like KEEP ON TRUCKIN', I think he had more talent than Motown allowed him to show) The Pointer Sisters Martha Reeves ...any of those will be fine. | |

Who is Doris Troy?
D'Angelo and Lauryn Hill are too contemporary What about Taste of Honey The Jones Girls Five Star-I hear their drama rivals Debarge "Lack of home training crosses all boundaries." | |

I think they are looking for obscure and talented. Vanity 6, although I love them, aren't talented and everyone knows the Gap Band. Klymaxx, I don't think so
I say Betty Wright and Sylvester "Lack of home training crosses all boundaries." | |

I say Betty Wright and Sylvester but not many people know the backstory about The Gap Band and how Charlie's addiction to drugs and alcohol nearly destroyed his life "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." |

And their story is not as known, I agree. There's not even a book on the Isley Brothers for that matter.  | |

After watching the DeBarge Unsung last night, it appears they're only gonna chronicle artists that had a "quick explosion of fame and then fell unto bad times" either with drugs, crime, or health issues, or a combination of all those. nWo: bboy87 - Timmy84 - LittleBlueCorvette - MuthaFunka - phunkdaddy - Christopher

Though her story is well known (seems to me) I'd love to see one on Minnie Ripperton just for the hell of it...   I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

I dunno - The Clark Sisters didn't have any of those issues, they just fell apart for various reasons & later reunited. All the stories don't have to have that element, hopefully I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |
