Twistedvelvet Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 BBC Four American Season Prince – A Purple Reign; Public Enemy – Prophets Of Rage; Lionel Richie – Dancing On The Ceiling; Janet Jackson – Taking Control (4x60-minutes) These four documentaries profile four legendary artists – Prince, Public Enemy, Janet Jackson and Lionel Richie – whose careers went stratospheric during the 1980s. After the successes of soul, funk and disco in the previous two decades, the Eighties was a defining point for black American pop music. Young, talented African-Americans took centre stage, becoming some of the biggest selling artists of all time. However, this success wasn't straightforward. MTV had launched in 1981 and became increasingly influential in promoting new music. The channel was initially a home to white rock acts and it was only after Michael Jackson's dazzling Billie Jean video and a threat by his label to withdraw all their other artists unless MTV played it, that things changed. Following this breakthrough, others followed and by the end of the decade African-American performers were the dominant force in popular music, which continues today. This series features critical biographies of these talented artists with the stories of how they achieved worldwide success and ultimately came to influence some of the biggest music stars of today. ------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bu. Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I'll try ripping it and then uploading it to youtube...I remember doing it for the Graham Norton Show (it had the most views too) before I accidentally deleted my account . The only thing is that BBC iplayer has that thing that iTunes put on their songs where it's protected or something so I need a program that can fight that protection.
