The Impressions, who rebounded after losing not one, but TWO lead singers!
William DeVaughn and D'Angelo
The Intruders
Billy Butler
Major Lance
Sonji Clay [[Royce)
Gene Chandler
The Brothers of Soul
5 Stair Steps
Black Ivory.
Johnny "Guitar" Watson. Would love to see one on him.
I don't know why I didn't think of Roy when I first responded to this question but he
would be perfect for an unsung. He's produced what has become a standard [[Everybody
Loves The Sunshine) and worked with a variety of other folks, from the legendary Afrobeat icon Fela Kuti to Rick James....I agree, he could use an Unsung....but I still want New Birth...
If not listed:
Johnny Pate big time.
The moments..the flamingos..clyde mcphatter.
MC Lyte
Angela Bofil
Keith Washington
The super underrated Calvin Richardson. And equally underrated Eric Roberson.
I know they are more jazz/world music than soul but should Hugh Masekela and Manu Dibango have an unsung episode?
Richard Pryor is hardly unsung
But I feel his TV shows are
I’d love an episode of unsung Hollywood on both his short lived [[4 episodes) sketch comedy show - precursor to in living color
And Pryors Place his tv show for children
Double Exposure, First Choice, Mary Wilson, En Vogue, Patti Labelle and the Bluebelles, Bettye Lavette, George Benson, Dee Dee Sharp, The Intruders, The Sweet Inspirations, and the Three Degrees need Unsung episodes, in my humble opinion. PS. Add Roberta Flack to that list.
Does Grace Jones need an Unsung?
Patti Austin
The new season is starting next month. If you had Betty Wright, Billy Paul or Al Jarreau on your want list, your in for a surprise.
Don’t forget Dru Hill, who’s story is kicking off the new season. It also been confirmed that the Jones Girls are going to be featured possibly later this year. I guess they realize there’s still an audience for 70s artists.
As I mentioned earlier, would love a Johnny "Guitar" Watson as well.
Unsung Hollywood
New Jack City
Friday
I know they did one on Kid & Play but I feel that House Party could get it's own episode
Not really unsung but I’d love one on James earl Jones
Nell Carter
DJ Hughley
Nia Long
Sanaa Lathan
I'd love to see an episode on Berry Gordy or Raynoma Singleton.
I enjoyed the Morris Day episode
Not really interested in any of the other episodes other than the jones girls
Someone should email this thread to TV One
Some great choices here
I know he’s known more as a songwriter but I’d like to see George Jackson
Also Willie Hutch
Was the real thing documentary ever released?
Finally listened to the Tyrone Davis box set that had been sitting on my shelf for years
Needs an unsung
Lots of great songs
Al Wilson? The snake and show and tell were hits
I’d like one on the Kashmere Stage Band but to be fair they have a documentary Thunder Soul
Well worth watching if you’ve never seen it
