Members Khan Posted January 24, 2013 Members Share Posted January 24, 2013 I'm glad you enjoyed the clip, Chit. I just wish my girl, Lisa Brown (Nola, GL) would loosen the hell up, lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SFK Posted January 24, 2013 Members Share Posted January 24, 2013 Yeah, she really comes across as a stick up her butt bitch. If you weren't familiar with the character, you might think she was a Vanessa-type. Jonathan Reiner was always talking about how he wished GL would send him some JH clips. I hope he's seen this one. And "Naylon Mitchell in the red shirt" is really gettin' it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted January 24, 2013 Members Share Posted January 24, 2013 Apropos of nothing, but was JH's appearance on GUIDING LIGHT truly that special? I just figured it was another cameo! LOL! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SFK Posted January 24, 2013 Members Share Posted January 24, 2013 Well she appeared in more than one episode, she had sort of a recurring gig singing at the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted January 24, 2013 Members Share Posted January 24, 2013 Khan, as to the Vesta commentary, I was so uncomfortable with the things she said. She hated herself so much at one point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted January 24, 2013 Members Share Posted January 24, 2013 She really seemed to be moaning from her soul here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNt6cyG770k 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ReddFoxx Posted January 24, 2013 Members Share Posted January 24, 2013 Vesta appeared on the Monique Show shortly before she passed and talked about how the sort of heartbreak in the song Congratulations actually ended up happening to her. When she was singing the song, she was trying to cry and looked as if she was in a very sad place. For those interested, you can watch many of the Unsung episodes on soultracks.com 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members VirginiaHamilton Posted January 26, 2013 Members Share Posted January 26, 2013 Same here. I'm such a sucker for old Black Hollywood stories. It is and I do hope that they consider Ms. Holly as a subject down the line because the story of Blacktors/Blacktresses on soaps needs to be shared with a wider audience. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tamar Posted January 26, 2013 Members Share Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) @Virginia Hamilton: I agree. My favorite Unsung shows are: Angela Bofill- Very sad, tragic, but quite a comeback story. Tammi Terrell- Very sad and shocking. DeBarge Phyllis Hyman: Shocking Clive Davis wasn't interested in her musical career after he met Whitney Houston.(I love Whitney, but it was just shocking Clive Davis dropped her.) Phyllis voice was one-of-a-kind sending chills down the spine. Edited January 26, 2013 by Tamar 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted January 31, 2013 Members Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) New show in 1/2 hour. Isaac Hayes!!!!! Midnight Star! Edited January 31, 2013 by ChitHappens 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members VirginiaHamilton Posted January 31, 2013 Members Share Posted January 31, 2013 Considering that I only know 3 songs of theirs (Slow Jams, No Parking on the Dance Floor, and Curious), it'll be interesting to learn about them. I still don't consider Isaac Hayes to be an 'Unsung' artist, but I nevertheless enjoyed his episode. The weirdest Unsung episode that I've seen is Miki Howard's. I'm not sure if it was because of her obvious crackish demeanor or the haphazard way that they told her story (with gaping holes in between), but something was definitely off about that one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
