None of these really peak my interest! No 70s artists, no Soul 4 Real, thumbs down!
My sentiments exactly!Quote:

The Jets story is MESSY especially in recent years. I can't wait for this.Quote:

Tasha Cobbs Leonard is a gospel singer who's debut came out in 2013, 6 freakin years ago and they want to consider her unsung. Producer of this show must be a millennial. The Jets, Shirley and Kenny are the only ones that I'm actually interested in seeing. They need to do better.

If they’re going to feature gospel acts, they could at least do someone that’s been in the game longer than 20 years, like Rance Allen or the Mighty Clouds of Joy! There should be a limit of time between your first records to the present before you’re officially considered “Unsung”. Maybe then they can get back to shining a light on some true forgotten legends.Quote:

I have only heard of Glenn Jones, and only as a songwriter! The others probably aren't really my thing. :)
Not only am I disappointed with the artists that are being featured on the upcoming season of Unsung [[it's all artists that made it in the '80s thru the '00s and that's not my thing), I'm also disappointed with the fact they only have eight episodes for a season. Bring back the "Old School Soul & Funk" music makers that used to be featured on the series.
