I'm watching the "Behind the Music" segment right now.
I'm in Arizona, and it's on at six, in just over an hour, and again at seven. They are rebroadcasting Teena Marie after it.

I love the details they went to with the music and it was nice to see vintage Rick James & Lady Tee onstage! I can see what they meant about them getting into a musical "fight" onstage.
One of the best episodes of Unsung yet! Showed different sides of Rick James that I and I am sure many in the public did not know.
I knew them, but, to be honest, I got more out of the Teena Marie unsung that aired right after. I actually teared up when she said she had to sell two of her most expensive guitars to buy Christmas presents for her kids.
I had no idea Rick James was freebasing.

Well, the Teena Marie episode is on again in 45 minutes.
Rick James is a reminder of what drugs can do to you. You see all these people who made it through it, but you don't see what they go through today as a result of their days of using, if they are still alive, because most manage to keep their problems hidden. Premature aging is the least of it. Lung cancer, heart damage, tissue damage, and the destruction of the bones are the most common. And, for women, they risk destruction of the reproductive organs. For men, it's impotence. And, let's not even get into drug-induced mental illness.
It's best to stay far away from drugs. You may know people who survived it, but you may not be so lucky.

Unfortunately I don't get this station...I hope both episodes are available to stream eventually!
I find that it's hard to find online episodes. And, if you're looking for back episodes, those are very hard to come by.
All this time I did not realize that TV One was carried by my cable company Cox Cable. But, I stumbled on it just in time to see the Rick james episode. And, since Cox has an on-demand feature, I was able to watch the one about the Emotions, too. My next one will be Wilson Pickett.
