They had number-one hits. Sold-out tours. Household names in every soul household across America. And then — nothing. This is the story of ten R&B legends who completely dominated the 1970s, from LaBelle's "Lady Marmalade" to Donny Hathaway's unforgettable duets with Roberta Flack, Rose Royce's "Car Wash," Minnie Riperton's soaring "Lovin' You," and Betty Davis's fearless funk — and then, one by one, disappeared from the music world. Some walked away by choice. Some were pushed out by a collapsing label. Some never got the chance to come back. Tonight we count down from Number 10 to Number 1 and tell you exactly what happened to each one — the hits, the heartbreak, and the real reasons the spotlight moved on.
