Title: Fat Joe, SWV, James Brown & More Slated for New 'Unsung' Season: Exclusive
Post by: Lazarus on December 07, 2016, 02:38:17 PM

Newly minted Grammy nominee Fat Joe, ?90s girl group SWV and soul/funk pioneer James Brown are among the artists comprising the new lineup for TV One?s longest-running show, Unsung. The acclaimed R&B, soul and hip-hop music series will premiere its 10th season on Jan. 4 (8 p.m. ET).

Rounding out Unsung?s forthcoming slate will be episodes profiling fellow artists Jon B., Lenny Williams, Case, Dave Hollister and After 7. The series is narrated by actor Gary Anthony Williams.

SWV will launch the 10th season of Unsung on Jan. 4, followed by Fat Joe (Jan. 11), Jon B. (Jan. 18), Lenny Williams (Jan. 25), Case (Feb. 1), Dave Hollister (Feb. 8) and After 7 (Feb. 15). A special tribute to James Brown (Feb. 22) -- featuring actor Chadwick Boseman (Brown biopic Get on Up), Full Force and Kwame, among others -- will wrap up the season?s eight-episode arc.

?Unsung?s in-depth first-person interviews, the participation of family and friends, the attention to detail invested into sharing each artist?s story and, of course, the music are the staples that have made this series ?must-see TV,?? said TV One president Brad Siegel in a release announcing the new season. ?After 129 episodes and nine seasons, Unsung is still TV One?s most anticipated series.?




SWV???  :hmph: :shannonsmissing:

They were one of Top 3 girl groups of the 90s alongside En Vogue & TLC.

I don't see how James Brown is Unsung
he's LEGENDARY and successful.
the Blueprint for Michael and even the Hip Hop Generation, he's like the male counterpart to Aretha

His is just a special tribute because he's definitely not Unsung.

Dave definitely is. He's underrated as a singer. After 7 is as well. So is Lenny Williams.

SWV were definitely battling it out with TLC until CSC blew them out of the water
I'd say both groups debut albums are probably equally successful

SWV might've not been as big TLC in the long run. But they definitely came in with a BOOM with their first album.

They were one of Top 3 girl groups of the 90s alongside En Vogue & TLC.

Lol @ you realizing that SWV doesn't belong on Unsung, but not recognizing James Brown.


I guess TV-1 completely changed their concept for this show.  The truly unsung can't even get love on Unsung, anymore.

Well, then they should just call it A Special Tribute to James Brown, not Unsung: A Special Tribute to James Brown and let that be it's own separate show.

Yeah I remember. Fat Joe should not have agreed, but then again both are indie, so promo is promo.
