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!!
