Watch.

I jilted a little when they showed that image/clip of Otis Redding's body still strapped to his plane seat after being recoved from the lake.

Lord I missed that. But that is creepy.

IdentityCrisis said:

that FREAKED me out

Yes that was.

Best Unsung episode by far.

Next season, come on.

Nah, best unsung eps were first season, with the exception of the Clark sisters

scriptgirl said:

yeah, Debarge was part of that season

scriptgirl said:

Best episode this season. Still up the with DeBarge and Donny.

LittleBLUECorvette said:

Yep..that and Debarge and Melba Moore were all good. Anybody see Rolls Royce? Was that worth watching?


Gawd I hope they do a Bobby Womack or that dude from Peaches and Herb. I heard he sexually harassed every last one of his Peaches.

Rose Royce was unnecessary.
They need to do Tami Terrell, Mary Wells, The Marvelettes, Five Star, Ohio Players, Slave, Angela Bofill

Didn't her husband beat her? She died of a brain tumor or something and Marvin Gaye went into depression over her passing cuz he was in love with her and he felt her husband caused her death or something.

DesireeNevermind said:

Tammi didn't marry but she was in abusive relationships with James Brown and David Ruffin. David apparently hit her in the head with his motorcycle helmet at one time. Martha Reeves once said a boyfriend from Philly hit her over the head with a hammer. Marvin may have felt SOMEONE who Tammi dated caused her death. He just couldn't get over how someone that beautiful got abused like that. When Tammi told Marvin that she was getting married to a physician, he felt she had found happiness but she died before they married.

Rose Royce was aight.

Timmy84 said:

OMG!!!

scriptgirl said:

ok why?

Already scrapping the bottom of the barrel I see. I gave up on this horribly produced show ages ago.

funkpill said:

Their story can't even cover thirty minutes. DeBarge had a more exciting story plus they had success in America.

Mary Wells and the Marvelettes probably need to be on Biography or something: "The Unsung Heroes of Motown (Who Weren't the Andantes or the Funk Brothers)"

sosgemini said:

how long has it been on? I only started watching off and on when they did the Debarge show.

DesireeNevermind said:

It debuted in 2008.

Timmy84 said:

And what did 5 Star do to be considered unsung?

Five star had some success. They are more well known in the Uk. wiki them. drama.

Timmy84 said:

covering Stedman's face could take up twenty five minutes alone.

funkpill said:

I'm not a 5 Star fan but if they have one coming on Musical Youth,
they certainly can do one on 5 Star.

phunkdaddy said:

Oh yeah... I forgot about that. I was like "oh they got one on Musical Youth?"
[Edited 4/19/10 21:01pm]

Musical Youth-they had ONE hit, give me a break. Who else are they covering?

LittleBLUECorvette said:

It sure was. nothing but sweaty funk.

phunkdaddy said:

Watching it again because I missed the first 20 or so minutes.

scriptgirl said:

George Clinton,Tammi Terrell,and a couple of others i think.

phunkdaddy said:

The O'Jays are covered too. I forgot who else but it was a good number. More than five. Wasn't Bobby Womack mentioned too?
