I kow this is a sin but I have to go with the newer version. I love the Circumstancial Evidence CD more than any of the Original Shalamar songs i've ever heard. The newer band was funkier and had more of a new wave sound as well. "Female" by Bernadette cooper is bad as hell too! What do you guys think??

I prefer the Howard Hewitt, Jody Watley, and Jeffrey Daniels trio.

jody, howard and jeffery

that's cool but have you actually heard the circumstancial eveidence cd? that shit is slammin! sounds like they were heavily influenced by Prince.

I've heard it and would still pick those three.

I got a Shalamar CD with both albums "the Look" and "Heartbreak" on it. if u listen to "the look" u realize that even their new wave-phase is better with the original members!

that's cool. what is it about the original line up that you like more? i guess they were a little to disco sounding for me which is why i like the reincarnation of the group but perhaps they should have had a different name.

is it true that Jeffrey Daniel invented the "moonwalk"?

Howard, Jody and Jeffrey are the best Shalamar.Also, Shalamar had a different lead singer in the beginning, I can't seem to recall his name at the moment though.

As for the 'Moonwalk' MJ was taught it by a dancer called 'Casper'.

I've heard it and it's OK. I prefer the other lineup though because they were a lot more funky and a lot less pop. Also, they had that great Solar Records sound rather than being an immitation of the Minneapolis Sound, which I love but everyone needs their own sound.
