I Miss Shalamar

Wouldn't be great if Jody Wately and the rest of the Shalamar crew got 2ghether again on a reunion LP?? I wish she and Howard 4get about their past and start over again cuz both of them knew how to make beautiful music. I was listeninig 2 their GH LP and I almost 4got how I adored them when I was a kid. Watching Jody and her funky dance moves in The Soul Train was priceless too.

Any Shalamar fans in here?

OMG! I can't believe there's a Shalamar thread! Whoo-hoo! I thought about posting one today because I heard the Velvelettes "He Was Really Sayin' Something" on Radio@Netscape's Motown Sound station. Remember Shalamar singing this in "Uptown Festival?" Before today, I can't recall ever having heard the original.

Anyway, was "Uptown Festival" THE joint or what?!

I think Howard Hewett would probably reunite the second incarnation of Shalamar. Remember Mickey Free and Delisa Davis? I don't know about the first incarnation though.

There's an ad that I see in the back of magazines--something about weaves/wigs, or some hair growth formula... Anyway, for years I've thought the woman was Delisa.

Funny you mention this; I've had Shalamar's "Take That To The Bank" stuck in my head for days now. I don't know why, since I haven't heard it lately. They're one of the few groups I'd love to see reunite.
This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes.

I've seen this woman in ads. I think she looks a lot like Delisa. (Wish I could've found a better pic of her during her Shalamar days.)

Hell yeah! Shalamar was the group. They don't make good soul like that anymore. From what I understand there will probably never be a reunion. I guess Jody Watley is not intersted in reuniting...her and Howard had a falling out years ago. But Howard still presses on in his solo career and has made some good albums himself.

You mean Karyn White the signer? Who's (was?) married to Terry Lewis? I don't think they look alike.
See pix of Karyn White at her fan site

If she isn't Delisa, I think Delisa at this woman's age would look like her. smile

I read in Karyn's bio that she replaced Jody when she lift so it must be Karyn.

I read somewhere that Karyn was considered. Not sure what happened since Delisa obviously got the gig.

But now I'm a bit confused... I'm refering to the woman in the picture with the blond. I think she looks like Delisa. I know the woman between Micki and Howard is Delisa.
