They need to do Tami Terrell, Mary Wells, The Marvelettes, Five Star, Ohio Players, Slave, Angela Bofill ----- Why Five Star? Nobody cares about them and they are unsung for a reason. | |

Think about it, showing that video clip added nothing to these people's story other then to exploit the tragedy in order for her to make money. That's what annoyed me about the episodes of Unsung that I did watch. There was nothing new showed about these people beyond what I could already google or read on Wiki. So what's the point? And then, to hear Jody say that she shared new information but the producers decided to gloss over everything just to further perpetuate the story the public already knew well...the goose is cooked. And the channel changed. BS. Clips of Otis dying in that plane crash were shown long before TVONE was conceived. I first saw clips of it on Otis Redding's E! special years ago. Look how long James Brown's casket was exposed open during a tribute to him when he died or pictures taken of Elvis. It's nothing new under the sun. Don't laugh at my funk

No Cinnie no. I remember a friend of mine a few years younger told me he went to a hip hop show around 88 and Four by Four performed Come Over and they were being booed and the lead singer was saying we need to play I Want You For My Girlfriend and they booed even louder.  Don't laugh at my funk

No, it's not BS when those other shows were leeching and making money too. The big difference for me is, you don't create a network all about "positivity for black folks" and then do this ish. The devil woman will get hers in the end. Mark my word. Space for sale... | |

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

The Time and Vanity 6 would be great. So would the Mary Jane girls. Grace Jones would be great as well, that's if she doesn't scare the crew. Desiree, those are old folks, but they had a LASTING impact. I was only joking about 4 by 4 and Colonel Abrams but since you asked, i'll take you back to 1987.
Produced by Melvin Riley of RFTW I Want You For My Girlfriend looks for full album "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." |

Alright, enough about Otis Redding already. Did they get into The Barkays of the 1970s and 1980s? Are they really freaks? Did they have orgies? Have they seen each other nekkid? Which ones are bisexual? Which ones did drugs? Who has custody of the snakes? Have the snakes ever attacked? Did they mention the protegee groups Ebonee Webb and Kwick? Andy is a four letter word. | |

According to James, yes... But probably not the orgies Andy's thinking though.  | |

But Andy, here's something to excite you:
James Alexander did mention at one time they played at a club and they had all this smoke and every member of the band stripped to their birthday suits. When the smoke cleared, they were all nude. Next time they did that, according to James, a few members of the audience stripped too.  | |

You get to see the other men's dicks when you participate in them. And if a woman sucks your dick and another man's dick at the same time, you get to feel his dick. What the hell do you think I used to do back when I was in the closet? Andy is a four letter word. | |

I know you can't fit everything into an hour but they failed to
talk about the Barkays 5 gold albums and one platinum album that's a gem Flying High on Your Love which will be released May 25 as a 2 fer along with their Mercury debut album Too Hot To Stop. www.amazon.com/stop-flyin...9L1JAW/ref [Edited 4/20/10 15:27pm] Don't laugh at my funk

Indeed. Much better than Stacy Lattisaw and Rose Royce. Nothing against Stacy or Rose Royce, but JT's history went well beyond 4 or 5 albums. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

Maybe TV1 should change the name or a least the premise of their show because I thought UNSUNG was suppose to be about those artist who may have some success but it end for one reason or another they faded. In truth the 'Bar Kays'aren't unsung. Some of these shows have been good but I really haven't been all that impressed. But I know there's only so much they can do in a hour. | |

IdentityCrisis said: 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.
  I thought I was the only one that felt that way. Yeah I still can't get that image out of my head. Other than that, it was a great Unsung episode. I love that WattStax performance...!!!!  FUNKY!I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |
