George Clinton
Tammi Terrell
Teddy Pendergrass
Musical Youth
Heatwave
Angela Winbush
The O'Jays

Don't Think the O'Jays are Unsung

The O'Jays are definitely far from Unsung.

George Clinton too.

Musical Youth were one-hit wonders.

But I love to see Tammi Terrell, Teddy Bear, Heatwave and Angela.

The hell-clinton is a legend.Unsung is fucking up

To be honest, DeBarge (in some degree), Phyllis, Donny, and the Clark Sisters were legends, so were the people they covered since. They had some kind of influence. There could be some politics about why some acts won't be covered.

True that, but EVERYONE knows George.

They know his P-Funk period, not the early years or what happened after he peaked. Hell Bootsy is famous for the P-Funk period and he was covered.

Timmy84 said:

Yeah, they already did Bootsy and now George Clinton, what next Bernie Worrell Unsung. If any P-Funk member should get an Unsung, his name is Eddie Hazel. Unsung Guitar God.

Yes, Eddie was no joke. Billy Preston needs an Unsung as well.

You ain't right.

Yep, my daughter said, this was good UNSUNG, she was on the correct channel and everything.

phunkdaddy said:

You know it's though! You're a FAKE!!!!! Man, that guy had so much potential.

TD3 said:

You make it sound as if she's never on the right channel when it's about to come on.

NastradumasKid said:

I dug Alex but he was one scary looking MOFO when he
was doped up.

How do you know what he looked like high?

NastradumasKid said:

Oh believe me... you don't know the running joke between Timmy and I.... my/our issues with Black TV channels.

I've seen one of his live shows and he was stoned. I saw Charlie Wilson with the Gap Band in 96 when he just came out of rehab. Everyone in the audience saw
something was wrong with Charlie as he walked gingerly back and forth
across the stage. I was always told that Charlie smoked serious weed in
the 80's. I didn't believe it until he admitted it years later that he
had a drug problem

You are something else.

About time!

I would like to see one on "Bill Withers". He, like Stacy Lattisaw, left the business on his own terms.

shorttrini said:

Actually, there's a GOOD documentary about him, shorttrini


Its an indie docu-film, so you might catch it in the IFC theatres(if you're in NYC) or do like I do and wait for the DVD to be released.

And while we're at it, go 'head and pick up Billy Paul's documentary Am I Black Enough For You? on DVD, you're gonna enjoy this one as well.

shorttrini said:

What was it that caused Bill to walk away?

Harlepolis said:

I have seen that film, I have IFC on Direc TV and they have shown it. Those are two people that they should do.

phunkdaddy said:

I think it was him becoming disillusioned by showbiz, not to mention he wanting to spend more time with is family. I guess that is what it was.

cool for him.
