Mikki released good grooves with Side Effect

^And she sang a great part for Roy Ayers' "Poo Poo La La" ^

When the freak are Evelyn "Champagne" King, Jermaine Stewart, and Jody Watley gonna get episodes?

Ridiculous...

Note: I know Watley's story is partly chronicled in the Shalamar episode but that's not enough considering her solo career after!

Not Vesta, her voice is a bit more distinct, more gutsy.

After the way Jody bitched about Unsung, they aren't gonna give her shit. Jermaine Stewart wasn't influential enough to have an ep

If you saw her criticism of Unsung on YouTube you can FORGET about her having a solo Unsung episode.

I'd like to see an episode about Billy Stewart. He made some great songs and doesn't get mentioned very often. It'd be cool to learn more about his life and career. Some others I saw mentioned that I'd like are The Sylvers, Ready For The World, Shuggie Otis, and Slave.

oooh! RFTW would be a hot one. They need to explore that!

She bitched about unsung? She did it the show, but you could tell she still had a chip on her shoulder about the whole thing. LET. IT. GO.

Yeah Vesta's more Chaka Khan-ish.

I know who they are talking about tho the Mikki, Regina clone, but I can't put my finger on WHO it is... lemme think about that for a minute.

So now the show only covers influential artist? WTF?

Why not? You know you were a fan. You know you have

Wipeout on 45.

Wow they surprised me with The Fat Boys. That should make for a very interesting Unsung episode. Isn't only 1of them alive?

Buffy The Human Beatbox died in 95' of heart failure I think. I heard Kool Rock Ski ended up havin his own business and was workin on a solo album a few years ago. But if you've ever wondered where the hip-hop in Mary J. Bliges' soul came from, it was straight from Mark Morales a.k.a. Prince Markie Dee to us old skool Fat Boys fans who was a producer on Mary's 1st three albums.

Bobby Byrd!!!

She bores me...whining and complaining about her years with Shalamar. Hers would probably be something like Janet Hubert's, attitude for DAYS! And blaming others for whatever negative things might have happened later. True Jody has a core following still, but every chance she gets, she's complaining about YEARS ago. Like someone else said, she needs to LET IT GO!

The ironic thing is Jody never seemed to complain about Shalamar when she was

riding the waves during the years she was successful as a solo artist. It only

seems now that her time is up she's complaining.

Ms. Watley wanted to appear classy, above it all, and take the hide road but she just couldn't pull it off. Jody needs to either write a book or let if go. She had a chance to tell her side of the story and didn't. Then she turned around and wasted her time on the Tube talking in circles.

I can't get "unsung"....doesnt come on Comcast. I missed the Minni Riperton episode, I can only catch bits and pieces on Youtube. That woman sang so angelic. She made me cry everytime they play that extended version of her singing her daughters name "Maya Maya Maya" at the end of "Loving You'. I'm sure Maya must get emotional when she hears it also.

Don't think Maya is all that funny on SNL though. But her mom was quite an individual.

Well would ya like to share so that I can be apart of the Unsung audience also. i searched and searched for that show. Came up with nothing. From what I hear it comes on "TV One", and that is not a Comcast channel in my neck of the woods. If you know something differently, please advise.
