Here's who I'd like to see

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

silkman	I would love to see one on New Birth. A Taste Of Honey, would be a good one(but i guess since they were featured in the "Disco" unsung, that cancels them out, booooooooooo, wanted more). The Deele, One Way, Starpoint,Aurra/Slave, Bernard Wright, War, Enchantment, Lakeside, & Dynasty. [Edited 3/15/13 18:43pm]

Good list. I would also like to see The Jones Girls or a child star group from the 90s.

I always found this odd since Ralph was the main lead on most of NE's singles. Then again, Mick Jagger, Lindsey Buckingham, & Steve Perry didn't really have much success as solo acts either.

I agree with Ralph being Unsung seems like he had one solo album and that was it and did some stuff on the Mo Money soundtrack-I'd like to see one on Ralph.

Ralph actually put out 3 solo albums, but his debut was the only one that made any noise.

To be honest, they've jumped the shark on the meaning of, "Unsung", i say why not ? lol !!! Seriously, they need to change that titled. Speaking of, since they've kinda blury the line of the meaning of Unsung, what would you guys rename the show ?

The DVD also has a few tribute performances as extra features. Here's a couple of interviews from recent years, one for PBS (2007) and the other about the Rumble In The Jungle concert (2009).
