what underatted, overlooked, and underappreciated artist woulda u like to see on TV One's Unsung?? i've seen alot of great episodes about Shalamar, Rose Royce, DeBarge, Phyliss Hymone, etc. who's story would u like to hear and why? i would like to see more
i wanna see more artist from the late 80s-early 90s included also.
Episode 1 : Guy - the story of Teddy Riley and the Hall Brothers. They innovated the New Jack Swing style, without Aaron Hall's vocal stylings, artist/groups like Jodeci, Dru Hill, Blackstreet, R.Kelly wouldnt have taken to the charts the way they did. Even artist today like Trey Songz are heavily influenced by Guy. "Lets Chill' is one of the best slow jams of all time. they are underated innovators.
Eps. 2: Roberta Flack - without Roberta Flack there would be no Lauryn Hill, POINT BLANK PERIOD. she ushered in that whole style, of soulful-earthy singer that would exlode with the Neo Soul era in the 90s-00s. countless Grammy awards. her work with Donny Hathaway is timeless music. only Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell collabs are competition.
Eps. 3: Ready for The World - just always been curious about this group. they had classic singles but always kept a pretty low profile. i just would like to hear about the background story to classic hits like "Let Me Love You Down" and "Oh Shiela".
etc.

I've heard they got blackballed in the industry and I can believe that.
Incredible talents with a lot of passion for what they do.
@kuskklassic: Thanks for the list.
Watched Miki Howard, Phyllis Hyman, The Clark Sisters, Shalamar, Tammi Terrell, Angela Winbush,
The DeBarges, and a few more.
Dunno how their respective fans think about the episodes, but all of them were decent, IMO. -
