TV One's Unsung will chronicle the musical contributions of Atlantic Starr, the 1980s R&B band made famous for their wildly successful hits "Secret Lovers" and "Always."
The group, which started performing in 1976, scored several hits on the R&B charts throughout the 1970s and '80s, but they didn’t achieve breakthrough success until the release of "Secret Lovers" in 1985. Despite having their music sampled by contemporary artists — Usher tapped "Secret Lovers" for his "Love in the Club" remix — few people know what became of Atlantic Starr.
