Hello my big music lover fans! We are on our second criminally underrated Black group and this one is a personal favorite of mine.

Today we are discussing the legacy of Love Unlimited, a vocal trio curated by the Maestro of Love, Mr. Barry White and consisted of sisters Glodean White and Linda James and their cousin, Diane Taylor. Their lyrics invoke a lot of conversation regarding the female audience about their desires, thoughts, and feelings when it comes to love. Listen as Kevaun talks about their history, their influence in music and fashion and so much more!

Ladies, here are your flowers. 💐

This episode is dedicated to the lovely Ms. Diane “Didi” Taylor. We thank you for your contribution to the group. 🤍

Happy New Year, big music lover fans! I’m so excited to be back educating and entertaining you all about criminally underrated Black artists! 

However this episode is the first to discuss criminally underrated Black groups! To start off, we decided to talk about The Sylvers! A musical family dynasty from Memphis, Tennessee and moved to Los Angeles in the late 1960s. From then on, The Sylvers became one of the most popular family groups in the 70s with hits like Wish That I Could Talk to You, Boogie Fever, Hot Line and many more! Join Kevaun as he discusses their history, personal struggles, and especially their incredible music!

The Sylvers, here are your flowers! 💐

From left to right: Edmund, James, Angie, Charmaine, Pat, Ricky, Leon, Olympia, and Foster Sylvers.

This episode is dedicated to both Edmund and Foster Sylvers. May their legacies continue to live on in music. 🤍🎶

Edmund Theodore Sylvers

January 25th, 1957- March 11th, 2004

Foster Emerson Sylvers

February 25th, 1962- May 30th, 2026

Hello my big music lover fans! We are on our ELEVENTH criminally underrated Black artist. This one is a special one because he is the pioneer of Black music as a whole. And this is none other than Mr. George W. Johnson himself! 

George was a very popular artist who had two famous songs (The Laughing Song and The Whistling Coon) that would follow him all the way until his untimely demise in 1914. Listen as Kevaun discusses his history and how much his impact has paved the way for Black artists, musicians, and/or producers to be where they are today. 

Mr. Johnson, here are your flowers. 💐
