With her powerful voice and unforgettable hits like "Love Under New Management" and stellar albums like Femme Fatale, Ms. Howard was a staple on the R&B scene in the '80s and '90s. A 2010 episode of Unsung gave us our first real glimpse into the rise, fall and comeback of the soulful diva. But now the cable network is expounding on her life and venturing into new territory with its first Unsung Feature Film, Love Under New Management: The Miki Howard Story.

No stranger to playing smart, fierce and talented black women, Teyonah Parris leads an all-star cast in the title role. Joining her on screen are Darius McCrary as R&B singer and former beau Gerald Levert; Vanessa Bell Calloway as Miki’s mother Josephine Howard; Gary Dourdan as singer/former band mate (and baby daddy) Augie Johnson; LisaRaye McCoy as music exec Sylvia Rhone and Amari Cheatom as abusive ex-husband Eddie Phelps.
