Finally the TV One special about the group Shalamar aired, and I have to say I learned some interesting things about the group……..
10. Shalamar started off with just having session singers from LA
9.They went through a phase where they were known as just a Disco group
8.Howard Hewitt was the 3rd lead singer, eventually there would be a 4th
7.Jeffery Daniels created the Backslide (AKA the Moonwalk)
6.Howard Hewitt & Jody Watley just never really hit it off, Jody felt disrespected most of the time
5.Shalamar was huge overseas, actually sold out Wembely Stadium in the U.K.
4.Howard Hewett had a huge ego
3.Jeffery Daniels and Jody Watley actually dated
2.Jody Watley felt pressure from the group to not have her first child
1.There will probably never be a Shalamar re-union

Toast 2 Shalamar!!

Solar Records really didn’t know what they had in Jody Wately, I’m so glad to see her reap the rewards of success she really deserved it, Howard still has a wonderful singing voice, I still feel they both have what it takes to make wonderful music, now if radio stations would just wake up and play these types of artist maybe today’s youth would be a little more appreciative of music!!
