A great pick. The lead singer is Howard Hewett who also had a solo career. The woman is Jody Watley who you've already reacted to as a solo artist. Other song by them are Night To Remember, Make That Move, Dancing In The Sheets, and Dead Giveaway.

I agree, "For the lover in you" is my favorite song by Shalamar , smooth groove. It was sampled by Andre Nicotina & Messy Marv" *local SF Bay Area rappers Abt 2020 ~ for the player in you.

Yes! Jodi Watley and Howard Hewett were apart of this group on Solar Records. A Night To Remember, Dancing in the Sheets, The Lover In You and the Remake with LL Cool J and Babyface, and Make That Move. Jodi Watley and Jeffery Daniels were also a Soul Train Dancers. Alot of history with this group.

PS, yall have done Jody Watley before… you might recognize her here. She and Jeffrey Daniel, the third member of this group met when they were Soul Train dancers. And FUN FACT, Jeffrey is credited with creating the Moonwalk! 😁

They should use Wikipedia before going into these. CYA….LOL

[@BrassEater]

Original moonwalk is often credited to Bill Bailey, 1943. 1955 video recording: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGPOeGSBh9t5g8U

[@casey4602]

I remember viewing both Jody and Jeffrey as regular dancers on Soul Train in 1978.

[@poppingjaz]

Jeffrey didn’t create the backslide, he was one of the dancers to popularize the dance. The Moonwalk is a circular gliding movement, the backslide has been seen in the 40s.

[@InvestBetter.]

Another classic Howard Hewett, Shalamar's lead singer, was also featured on other songs through the years, like "I"d Still Say Yes" by Klymaxx, the original "Dolomite" movie, and Shalamar's other hit song "A Night To Remember"😎

The lead singers were Howard Hewitt, Jeffery Daniel and Jody Watley, as a group they were pretty successful (3 gold albums!) Jody and Howard went on to have solo careers, Jody Watley really blew up, her debut album went platinum and her sophomore album went gold! They were upbeat pop/r&b type sound, music you could dance to!

[@joelstarkey1143]

Shalamar had some really fun songs! Jody Watley is in this video and was part of the group before going solo. You guys reacted to "Looking For A New Love" by Jody, but check out "Don't You Want Me" and "Some Kind Of Lover", amongst others!

[@seanswinton6242]

Also "Learn To Say No" a Jody Watley duet with George Michael also from her debut solo record.

I love this song! This is Jody Watley, before her amazing solo career, Jeffrey Daniel, who taught MJ the moonwalk, and Howard Hewett, lead singer! They had a sting of hits in the late seventies and early eighties!Fun fact: Jody and Jeffrey danced together on Soul Train before joining Shalamar and ST host, Don Cornelius picked them for the group!❤❤

They're still going. A few weeks ago they were on This Morning, a popular daytime show here in the UK. I remember seeing them on Top of the Pops, Jeffrey debuted the moonwalk before Michael Jackson made it famous.

[@chrisoakley5830]

The moonwalk was featured on Soul Train years before Jackson did it.

[@willfromyadkinville]

FACT!

[@misterdoe]

​@@chrisoakley5830probably by Jeffrey Daniel, who started as a Soul Train dancer.

[@PeterWestinghouse]

And Jeffrey Daniels also enthralled the whole of the UK on "Top of the Pops" with the back-slide (moonwalk) in 1982 (a year before Michael Jackson did it). Everybody was trying to do it at school the day after.

[@themajicman745]

The lead singer is Howard Hewitt who started with this group and the backup singers are former Soul Train dancers in Jody Watley who became a solo artist later on and Jeffrey Daniels who taught MJ the moonwalk. A buddy of mine played bass guitar for them and he later moved on to play bass for Luther Vandross.

[@devonstokes7150]

A great song by Shalamar is" This Is For The Lover In You. The lead singer is Howard Hewitt who has a great solo song called Say Amen.

YAAAAAAY! THANK YOU! 🎉😃👏💝 I've been dyin' for you to react to Shalamar and especially to this song! All of us fans, thank you! This song came out in 1979, which was my freshman year in high school, and I STILL can't get enough of it--or them. Howard Hewett's voice is soooooo good! I never got to see them in concert, but this reaction is timely. My musical bucket list will have one more check-off when I get to see Howard one week from tonight in Newport Beach, CA. I'm beside myself! Enjoy going down this rabbit hole, with each incarnation of the band and also Jodi Watley's solo career, which blew up in the mid 80's! Have fun!

[@RalphKeim]

Yup, I did! I believe they were all Soul Train dancers who were formed into Shalimar by the producers of Soul Train. Remember when Jody went solo and became a big 80's artist? Rob Squad should check out some Karyn White too 😊

[@BoricuaBox]

Shalamar!!!! Now this will be an interesting rabbit hole to go down through. Next Shalamar bangers: Make That Move, A Night To Remember, For The Lover In You. JEFFERY DANIELS was the one who Michael Jackson hired as a choreographer. So every single move MJ did from Thriller on was Jeffery Daniels. Check out his performance on Top of the Pops when he danced to A Night to Remember and did the moonwalk in 1981, way before Michael. The lead singer HOWARD HEWITT had a big gospel hit with Say Amen. JODY WATLEY had some bangers with Don’t You Want Me, Looking For A New Love, Still A Thrill.

[@Whitebrowpriest]

Hi Jay and Amber!! So happy that you to finally got to this group! They were essential listening when I was growing up. The next songs by them that you absolutely have to react to are: "A Night To Remember" "Take That To The Bank" "This Is For The Lover In You" "Make That Move" "You've Got Me Running" "Sweeter As The Days Go By" "Somewhere There's A Love" "Somethings Never Change"

[@markfadness9204]

"The Second Time Around" was Shalamar's biggest hit peaking @ #8 on the Billboard Hot 100, #1 on the R&B chart & #1 on the Disco/Dance chart. Released in the fall of 1979, it hit the R&B chart first (9/29/79), then the Disco chart (10/20/79), and finally, the Hot 100 on 12/8/79 charting for 23 weeks. Group was formed by Don Cornelius & Dick Griffey from Soul Train. 2 of the group members had solo hits after the group ended: especially Jody Watley (Pop, R&B & Dance charts) & Howard Hewitt (primarily on the R&B chart).

[@debragarcia671]

[@Whitebrowpriest]

Oh, I wanted to share some music trivia with you guys relating to Shalamar. This groups was found and created by Soul Train creator and legend, Don Cornelius, and Dick Griffey (Soul Train's booking agent). It was initially supposed to be a disco-driven group, but then the direction of music changed and so the group became primarily an R&B and funk group. Band members Jody Watley, and Jeffrey Daniels were regular dancers on the Soul Train program before Cornelius chose and asked them to be a part of the group he was forming; for them to sing backup vocals to lead singer Gerald Brown, who left the group quickly and then was replaced by Howard Hewett (who sang the lead vocals in this song, "Second Time Around").

[@alexn.manninternetmarketeu1344]

[@colibri1]

This 1979 song fit right in with the disco of the period, and Shalamar had a lot of additional hits through the early eighties in both the US and the UK. Their first hit, "Uptown Festival" from 1977, was a medley of sixties R&B hits set to a disco beat. "Take That to the Bank" (1978) and "Make That Move" (1980) are a couple of my favorites of theirs. That "pew! pew!" sound y'all have noted in a few late seventies disco songs started to be common after the first "Star Wars" movie debuted in 1977. I think it was supposed to sound like some space gun or something. Y'all should listen to Meco's hit 1977 disco version of the "Star Wars" theme. It may have been the first song to feature those "pew! pew!" sounds.

[@jofoster1596]

Their album Friends was a hit from start to finish, every track a smash

[@jessearmstead2237]

The great thing about music from the 70s, 80s, and 90s , specifically RnB music it just makes you wanna move something. Even if you think you can’t dance, the groove will lift you mind , body n soul. By the way the lead singer name is Howard Hewitt, Jody Watley , and Jeffrey Daniel completing the trio. Try “ Make That Move” and for a change of pace “ This Is For The Lover In You” …. Enjoy.

[@Skeezer66]

Shalamar!! The lead singer was married to Nia Peoples (a popular 80's actress) for a time. The other two were once Soul Train dancers!!! After they broke up Jodi Watley and Howard Hewitt (the lead singer) had successful solo careers. I think the 3rd guy hosted a dance show in the UK!!

This was the JAM back in the day! And still a vibe! Positive, melodic and so danceable. They had several popular songs in late 1970s-early 80s. You should definitely check out a few more of their songs. I recommend in order: A Night To Remember, and For the Lover In You (slow jam), and Make that Move. Shalamar's main singers came from Soul Train as dancers, if I recall, so you see they're nice moves on display here in this video. I loved their sound--Howard Hewitt was a heck of a singer, and Jody Watley had a fantastic sounding voice that brightened every song she sang with them. She had some hits as a solo artist in the 1980s but I always thought her voice was actually better suited to the group dynamic in Shalamar.

[@rmathis268]

Man, Shalamar had such an awesome sound. It was such a great mix of talent

[@BigBull45]

Shalamar is comprised of Howard Hewett, Jody Watley and Jeffrey Daniel. They met when they were all three dancers on Soul Train and the host of Soul Train, Don Cornelius suggested they become an R&B group. They had several hits on the R&B charts throughout the early to mid 80's. The group would eventually split up due to creative differences in the late 80's. Howard Hewett went on to have a solo career with hits on the R&B charts. Jody Watley went on to have a solo career with hits on the R&B and Pop charts. Jeffrey Daniel went on to be a Choreographer and worked with stars such as Michael Jackson, L.L. Cool J, Baby Face, Paul McCartney, Sheena Easton and Vanessa Williams in the late 80's and throughout the 90's. Hit's by Shalamar, Howard Hewett and Jody Watley include: 1.

Howard Hewett was the lead singer before departing on to a successful solo career. He was by far one of the best love ballad singers ever, his vocals and the range of his voice literally was angelic, the voice and the lyrics was spellbinding. My top three songs I think you both would really like, "Once, Twice, Three Times', "I Wanna Know You", this song is the love song of all love songs, "Somewhere There's a Love". This song was the first time I herd Shalamar, This Is For The Lover In You.

Howard Hewett singing lead on this one. Background is Jody Watley and Jeffrey Daniel. Jody and Jeffrey started out as soul train dancers. Both Howard and Jody ended up having solo careers. Jody would be a great one to do for Female Friday (or maybe you already have). Her bigger hits are Looking for a New Love, Real Love, and Don't You Want Me. But she has a banger called Still a Thrill with an epic video to go with it. Howard Hewett has some great solo stuff such as, Show Me. Fun fact: Jeffrey Daniel is the one that taught Michael Jackson the moonwalk.
