According to reports the network will have a slew of new artists covered on its documentary ‘Unsung’ including R&B group XScape and one of our faves Ms. Vivica A. Fox is joining the cast of ‘Hollywood Divas’ in a guest star capacity. The YBF confirms the following:
The Unsung Miki Howard Story – Not many R&B artists have enjoyed a string of #1 hits like Grammy nominated artist, Miki Howard (Come Share My Love, Ain’t Nobody Like You, Love Under New Management, Baby Be Mine). Groomed to compete with Whitney Houston in the 80’s, Miki’s career was derailed by poor relationship choices and drug addiction. Miki’s story of survival ranges from being raised by neglectful gospel singers to being thrown out of the house at 16 years old and having love affairs with Gerald Levert and Easy E. The film is slated to premiere in 1st quarter 2016.
