Did anyone catch this last night? I thought it was pretty good. Especially since I didn't know that much about her background. Like so many "Unsung" episodes, the stories didn't really flow as well as they could have and there were a few holes.

What I found out (that I didn't know) was that she opened up for the Jacksons. They didn't say if it was for the Triumph or Destiny era, though. She didn't really give us any new information about MJ or the brothers. All she mentioned was how sweet he and his brothers were and how much she enjoyed talking with them after the show, especially MJ.

Did u guys catch it?

Yeah, Stacy opened for them during the Triumph Tour

I think I DVR'd it, so I'll watch it and give my view later. I've always wondered what happened to her. It was like she vanished..

I remember not hearing from her no more after
Where Do We Go From Here with Johnny Gill but
little did i know she decided to call it quits
after that song.

That's alright.

I knew she called it quits after that. I remember reading that in some magazine. What shocked me was that "Where Do We Go From Here" was her only number one and she didn't receive any royalties for the song. She was told by Motown that the record only sold 30,000 copies. Now, we know that ain't true.

Yeah that was straight b.s
I wonder if this album was any good.

daPrettyman said:

Beat me to it.

phunkdaddy said:

It wasn't bad.

Thanks. I remember I Don't Have the Heart barely.
Didn't BrownMark produce a song on a Motown album for her?

I think so, but don't remember what album it was on.

daPrettyman said:

Just found out. Personal Attention

Hell, it was time to call it quits after that horrible song. I love all her earlier stuff both fast and slow but "Where Do We Go From Here" was just horrible. But then again, it was the late 1980s and adult contemporary ruled.

vainandy said:

Awww...I actually liked that song. I saw it more as gospel-lite than adult contemporary. And Johnny Gill goes to church on that song!

vainandy said:

Did u see the special? When she did the last video from her last album, she said how they wanted her to dance, but she couldn't do it. She never could learn the choreography for the video, so they centered her lack of dancing around the plot of the video. Puff Daddy had to assist her to learn the moves.

When doesn't Johnny go to church?

dannyd5050 said:

I'm like Andy, I never really liked the song either.

Your just trying to get back at me for my dancing lock man.

That's another thing I didn't like about the late 1980s....all that damn choreographed dancing. It was like watching a damn Broadway show. Hell, just shake ass and get down like folks did before Michael Jackson made it big in music videos. Do it up like Evelyn "Champagne" King, that heffer could throwdown dancing.

Before this thread's locked ( ), I didn't particularly like "Where Do We Go From Here?" much either, not because of that adult contemporary sound (though that didn't make it any better), but because they kept playing it over and over and over and over and... I was five and in my mind I was screaming "TURN THAT SONG OFF! "

vainandy said:

Evelyn King CAN get down. That girl was dancing her ass off last few videos I saw. I was like "WHOA!"

vainandy said:

Speaking of throwing down are you ready for the bad boys of funk
next week. It's gonna be explosive.

You should have seen her perform "Action" on "Soul Train". She had that crowd hollering.
