Billy Preston
This show was great for its honesty. Billy’s entire career was based on a big hidden secret that he was never able to resolve. How incredibly unfortunate, that though all of his success, hit records and major appearances with huge rock and roll bands he harbored such low self-esteem. To the industry is was no secret that he was gay but he managed to keep it under wraps and suspicion from fans for almost his entire career. His drug addiction at such a late stage in life speaks volumes about the black community’s refusal to deal with mental illness, addiction, and depression.
I love unsung. However, some of the 80’s artist/ groups are weak. I would love to see the pointer sisters. The 70’s have a more diversity style of sound.
Sorry the Spinners, Shalamar and the ones from kid and play movies…
You know the ones that brought out lisa lisa and cult jam they all should have made this list
