Veteran Hip-Hop band Full Force will be the subject of a special episode of "Unsung" tonight January 30. The history of Full Force's impact on the music business will be explored during the one-hour special, which explains the careers of group members Paul Anthony, Bow Legged Lou, Baby Gerry, B-Fine and Shy Shy. The Full Force "Unsung" focuses on the legendary career of the family oriented group, who got their start opening for stars like James Brown and The Jackson 5, at the famed Apollo Theater in Harlem. The hitmaking family group is credited with helping to pioneer the "New Jack Swing" style of R&B/Hip-Hop music, based on hit singles like "Roxanne, Roxanne" by UTFO, "Alice Can't You See," "Unfaithful," "Temporary Love Thing," "Your Love Is So Def," "Aint My Type of Hype" and others. "I think people are going to see our episode and say to themselves, 'wow..I didn't know that they worked with that person," group member Baby Gerry told AllHipHop.com. "Hopefully people realize that we were kind of the 'proto-type' for today's younger crop of producers- that kind of 'Wild Style Hip-Hop," with melodies and real songs over the top."
