He had the look, the voice and the skills behind the pen to become one the biggest stars of the New Jack Swing era, but Al. B Sure’s career seemingly faded away as he faded into the background of music. Sure is behind some of the greatest hits of the 80/90s, including Jodeci’s ‘Forever My Lady.’ TV One’s ‘Unsung’ follows Al B Sure’s rise to fame and sudden fall with attention to the little details you never knew.

One of ‘Unsung’s’ most controversial episodes detailed the turbulent story of Ike Turner. Infamously known for his abusive behavior towards ex-wife and protege Tina Turner, followed by his music, the episode focused on Ike’s upbringing in the segregated Mississippi and the traumatic experiences that plagued his youth, offering slight explanation to some of his sinister ways.

It’s safe to say, you knew exactly where you were the first time you heard “Somebody, rocking, knocking the boots.” The sexual anthem gave H-Town their first number one single and catapulted them to sex symbol status. The boys struck tragedy when their lead singer Dino was killed in a hit-and-run accident. ‘Unsung’ tapped the surviving members and influencers in their career for an all-encompasing flashback.
