Starting March 22, four new episodes (always four.)


Rose Royce
Sylvester
Stacy Lattisaw
Bar-Kays

Unfortunately, I switched to Dish Network from DirecTV, and they don't have TVOne.

I know I can count on the org to bring the youtubeage when it airs!!!

I don't think they put the eps back up on youtube anymore. Not feeling Stacey or Rose Royce.

Thanks for posting this. I will definitely watch. I would be interested in any of the following artists too
1. Loose Ends
2. The Sylvers
3. Troop
4. SWV
5. Cherrelle
6. Alexander O'Neal
7. Skyy
8. En Vogue


Oh, I can go on forever, but I'll spare you.

I'll definitely be watching. I am always interested in learning more about artists. This is a great show.

I cannot wait for the Stacey Lattisaw, episode...

Thanks for the heads up, I LOVE THIS SHOW!

This one should be interesting.Lead singer Gwen Dickey left the band in 1980 and never looked back.Her departure was a mystery and never explained.Maybe now we will get the real story.




Her story also promises to be interesting.She was engaged to Johnny Gill at one point.In 1990,she left secular music to concentrate on gospel music.

Did Gwen Dickey leave the biz when she left the band?

The hell it is. Their research is paper thin. The bulk of the info can be found with a quick google search or wiki read. Truly disappointed in how low the quality of these shows are.

My people deserve better. Errr....

I'm still waiting for a Tammi Terrell documentary

I'm also waiting for (not necessarily Unsung) but a documentary about Post-Motown Detroit music scene, the great musicians who were schooled by the Funk Brothers (Nathan Watts, Ollie Brown, Ray Parker), the artists that came up when Motown left (One Way, Anita Baker, Winans), local Detroit show The Scene, Black new wave/techno, and the tragic stories of course (CL Franklin, T-Boy Ross).

Yep.

It's my understanding the Sylvers aren't interested in doing Unsung, at all.

thatruth said:

One Way were artist on the MCA label and well established, before MCA purchased Motown in '88.

I don't know about that lineup. I mean I don't really know anything about Stacy Lattisaw, so i'll be watching that. I might watch the Sylvester one, but like someone said, one on Tammi Terrell would had been interesting.

Isn't this the first time they have done a lineup w/out a Motown artist being featured?
TD3, why won't the Sylvers do Unsung? It could totally revive interest in them.

The Bar-Kays could be great, if they cover both the original members before the plane crash and post members. The Stax and Mercury years.. up 'til producer Allen Jones death.

Some of the Sylvers said they rather look forward than look back.

"Some" not all. I bet they will come around. I hope they do.

scriptgirl said:

THey've been asked if that's the prevailing view of the family.. I think it is.
As I've thought from the beginning, I'm sure UnSung have asked some and have been turned down, for a host of reasons. Oh well.

Don't know much about Rose Royce but i'm looking forward to learning about them. I love this show! I'll watch pretty much anyone they feature. Can't wait for the Stacy Lattisaw and Bar-Kays episodes!

LittleBLUECorvette said:

I hope these are good shows, because my interest level is really low on all of these acts.

I am interested in Sylvester

I'll be looking forward to all but Sylvester. I've
never been a fan of Sylvester.

phunkdaddy said:

I'm not a fan of his either, though I hope the episode is good. From the little bit of his story I do know, it should be decent.

daPrettyman said:

From the standpoint of his rise to fame until his untimely death,
it should be an interesting story. I just never could get into
his disco themed music.

sosgemini said:

I can see your point but saying the research is paper thin is a little extreme. SSome episodes are definitely better than others. Sometimes it's not necessarily about uncovering all the unknown tidits, but bringing paper facts "to life" and putting the faces behind the stories out there.

SoulAlive said:

Hmm. Never knew she was engaged to Johnny. I did know she left secular music
for gospel but never heard any of her output. The last secular thing i
remember her doing is Where Do We Go From Here with Johnny.

TD3 said:

Yeah, I became friendly with someone VERY close to their family, let's just say you won't be seeing them do any documentaries, They would make DeBarge look like the Osmond family. Real talented family though, pretty sad

Damn, Steely D. That's hardcore.
Sylvester had DRAMA.
