TV One begins a new season of its popular Unsung docu-series on March 22 with four new episodes profiling:

Rose Royce - who emerged from South Central Los Angeles in the mid-1970s to become one of the top-selling groups of that decade. Nurtured by legendary Motown producer Norman Whitfield, the group topped the charts with their first LP, a soundtrack for the movie Car Wash

Sylvester - argubly the undisputed King and Queen of disco who strived for fame, fortune and freedom during a time when it was highly unlikely for a large, openly gay, sometimes in drag, African American male to make it in the world of entertainment.

Stacy Lattisaw - the child star who was signed to a major label at the age of 12, and enjoyed a top ten hit a year later. The charming teenager with the voice of a singer far beyond her years... bringing out favoritess such as Dynamite, Let Me Be YOur, and Love On A Two Way Street.

and the Bar-Kays - who first rose to prominence as a house band for the legendary Stax record label, and survived 40 years, 27 albums, 25 members, 23 hits, a tragic plane crash, a stroke, a murder and at least five major shifts in black music.



Unsung will reveal the multiple factors that kept these artists from achieving the iconic commercial status they deserved, the network stated. Featuring exclusive interviews, musical clips and archival footage, each episode will investigate the stories of these pivotal artists, their journey through music and their perhaps unexpected influence on the music of today.

Starting on March 22, th new episodes will premiere on Mondays at 9 p.m. and midnight, with encores set for Sundays at 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. (all times ET), Tuesdays at noon, Wednesdays at 3 a.m., Thursdays at 5 p.m., Fridays at 5 a.m. and Saturdays at noon.
