*(SILVER SPRING, MD) – TV One wraps the season for two of its popular fan-favorite series, TONIGHT. UNSUNG closes the season with Grammy Award-Winning gospel artist Tasha Cobbs Leonard at 9 p.m. ET/8C, followed by the season finale of UNCENSORED with the gospel hit-maker Kirk Franklin at 10 p.m. ET/9C.
UNSUNG
Young, fresh and innovative, gospel phenom Tasha Cobbs Leonard burst onto the national music scene in 2013 with her breakout album Grace. Her hybrid sound of R&B and hip-hop infused gospel brought her crossover success, allowing her to reach beyond traditional contemporary Christian audiences which earned her the nickname “The Worship Bridge.” Despite breathing new life into a genre dominated by older, conservative artists, Cobbs Leonard’s success proved controversial. Her collaborations with secular artists and inclusive ministry garnered criticism and backlash from those within the religious community. In spite of those challenges, her message of deliverance and hope – inspired by her struggles with depression – continues to uplift millions. This Easter, the season of UNSUNG concludes with Tasha Cobb Leonard’s journey from small town preacher’s kid to international music minister.
This season of UNSUNG captured memorable stories from influential artists including Lloyd, Adina Howard, The Jets, Shirley Murdock, Crystal Waters, Glenn Jones and Kenny Lattimore.

UNCENSORED
Kirk Franklin was born and raised by his aunt Gertrude in Fort Worth, Texas after being abandoned by his parents. He discovered his love for music through the church and took piano lessons under his aunt’s guidance. Â Franklin experienced his first taste of success with his choir that he composed and aptly named, The Family. The opportunity to work with the up-and-coming group God’s Property further propelled his career with the release of the Jimmy Iovine inspired remix to “Stomp.” Always true to his testimony, Franklin received severe backlash for publicly revealing his pornography addiction. With the faith and support of his family, he remains true to his spiritual journey while inspiring others through his music and testimony.
