Just got finish watching unsung about Alex and Cherelle and its a shame both of them went through some hard times. Why is it that Europe appreciate black talentive artistes the most. I like the face Alex said he wasn't going to cross over and stay true to who he was. Nothing like good 80's music.

@downtownchicagobarbi One of the reasons is because elements of soul music in the UK aren't trendy. They appreciate vintage music and artistry. Sure, we make them, but at the same time we are "flavor of the month", trendy and fairweather. There are soul artists from the 70's and 80's that will fill Wembley Stadium today cause they preserve good soul music. If you are true to Soul Music, you don't have to crossover for some corny pop sound, people come to you and RESPECT YOU!

@victornewman06: Well said and it's good to know. And although black is viewed by some as a "flavor of the month" look how long that flavor lasts!

@lmboyd3 Indeed, the sad irony also is that a lot of black folks here have abandoned black music for pop success. This is why you have an influx of artists that sound the same and always featuring other artists on 50% of their albums cause it's about gimmicks.
