Al b. Sure! Unsung
The New Episode of Unsung is Featuring Al B. Sure!. This documentary series takes a look at some of the top R&B and soul artists of the last several decades, many of whom are not household names. Narrated by actor Gary Anthony Williams, the NAACP Image Award-winning program features interviews with people who know the musicians well enough to tell the ups and downs of their careers. Episodes usually start with the story of an artist’s upbringing before moving into the trials and tribulations faced as the subject searched for the big break early in his or her music career. The pinnacle of the performer’s career plays out next, before a turning point that led to each one’s career beginning a downward trend.
