Unsung Returns Jan 29th

Unsung returns with new episodes starting Jan 29th. Artists profiled this time the Manhattans, Too Short and Nile Rodgers & Chic (which I'm sure will start up the whole argument of who and what is considered "unsung").

I'm so excited for the next season but what'sup with just 3 episodes? I'm greedy and want more razz . It's interesting that they have Nile Rodgers as Unsung. He's having a major career resurgence right now.

There's probably more than just those 3, but for me the interesting thing is that an ep is "Nile Rodgers & Chic", rather than just simply "Chic". Regardless of the billing, I'll make sure to catch that one when it airs.

I've been noticing lately that's how they are refered to. I wonder where that came from?? Can't wait to see it either way.

That billing without a doubt has everything to do with Nile's monster year with Daft Punk and Pharrell. There's generations who aren't too familiar with his "Chic" years.

It'd be great if they did one on Thelma Houston. TOTALLY unsung minus her one claim 2 fame, "Don't Leave Me This Way." sad

Hungry? Just look in the mirror and get fed up.

I think Nile Rogers is Unsung as a producer. A lot of "white folks" don't know that he was the master mind behind, Diana Ross, Madonna, Duran Duran, David Bowie...just to name a few.

I hope they focus more on that, CHIC is not unsung, especially they don't mention Bernard Edwards.

cool

That would be great! But she's so obscure,I wonder if there would be any footage available (concerts,TV performances,etc) for them to use.She's such a mystery!

They've become quite liberal with "UNSUNG" as I don't believe a lot of those featured were Unsung. But love the show. Did they ever do one on Ready for the World?

I often wonder who is 'Unsung' because they have really big sellers on that show

Great list. Not sure if High Energy had enough material to be considered for a
full length one hour episode.
