The Ultimate Collection
Shalamar
Released:
Jul 2006
Label:
Capitol
One of the best R&B singles acts of the early '80s has a tangled history. First a faceless studio band for "Uptown Festival," Shalamar became a trio with Soul Train dancers Jody Watley and Jeffrey Daniel and singer Gerald Brown for "Take That to the Bank." Howard Hewett replaced Brown for their biggest hits; but Hewett's ego chased off Watley and Daniel by the time of "Dancing in the Sheets." A new trio formed for its last hit, "Games." Despite Shalamar's moving parts, Leon Sylvers' lovely post-disco production on "Over and Over," "Make That Move" and "Dead Giveaway" still sounds timeless.
