With hits like <em>Friends<\/em> and <em>Five Minutes of Funk<\/em>, <strong>Whodini<\/strong> mastered making danceable music that was reflective and thoughtful. Along with the perks of success, <strong>Whodini<\/strong> battled cocaine addictions, squabbles over money, and clashing egos, which ultimately caused the group to break up. Yet the group never completely lost sight of their earlier ambitions, reuniting after realizing they were stronger together than apart. For <em>Unsung<\/em> (originally released back in 2012), <strong>Whodini<\/strong>\u2019s members tell the story of a fun-loving, trailblazing brotherhood that has survived three decades of wild ups and downs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>R.I.P.
