Sunday night on TV One is all about Kenny Lattimore and actress Naturi Naughton.
TV One’s award-winning documentary series UNSUNG airs the untold story of the Grammy-nominated singer at 9 p.m. ET/8C. UNCENSORED follows at 10 p.m. ET/9C, revealing the journey of multi-talented singer, songwriter and actress Naughton.
Kenny Lattimore came straight out of Washington, D.C. the mid ’90s with a smooth R&B sound and look to match. Raised on gospel and the soulful music of popular icons Marvin Gaye and Donny Hathaway, Lattimore made his mark in 1997 with the breakout single “For You.”
The song would eventually become an enduring wedding classic. When he married R&B Diva Chanté Moore and recorded two highly regarded duet albums, his romantic life appeared to mirror his love songs. An unfortunate split from his record label coupled with his dramatic breakup with Moore, however, led to public speculations about his private life that overshadowed his career. In this revealing episode of UNSUNG, Lattimore, along with friends and family, set the record straight.
Born and raised in East Orange, New Jersey, Naughton grew up with her older brother and parents in a loving household with strong family values. Naughton’s talent was recognized when she was just 13-years-old and asked to try out for the girl group 3LW. As the group shot to stardom, Naturi’s voice and image became a source of tension for the record label and management, who didn’t think she fit the mold of a lead singer. From her portrayal of Lil Kim in the film “Notorious” to her current role on “Power,” Naughton has proven to be a triple threat entertainer, while remaining grounded and family oriented.
