there has to be an original copy of this episode that is available. you have to imagine being at a club with an excellent sound system playing this. recording quality hasn't changed all that much in the last 40 years. couple of drinks in you, volume not too loud......do it today and see what happens. don't forget to set the mood, through previous songs leading up to this.
males, be careful when you play this song in the company of a female of child bearing age. one on one, when a mood develops, you will become a father, even if you don't find out for years or decades. even in the presence of a group of mixed company, your fate may be sealed. someone asked, "do you remember what you were doing when this song came out?", i say "not really". when this song came out, there were so many other great songs. but, this one was "special".
Jody and Jeffrey had the smoothest choreography. (they used to be dancers on Soul Train b4 Shalamar) . Along with the silky vocals of Howard, Shalmar was the GROUP back in day.
Billboard #8 Hot R&B Singles 1981, seems it would have been #1. Great group, Jody Watley always had the group concepts choreography and wardrobe on point during her time in it, just read an archived JET magazine article recently of them and still have my vinyl records
@johnnydoggworth Daniels apparently learned the 'Backslide' from The Electric Boogaloos after HE saw them appear on Soul Train. Dancehistorylesson 101, u might want to search videos w Electric Boogaloos, Cooley Jaxson who taught Michael Jackson, The History of The Moonwalk with Casper Geron Candidate, and then search Billl Bailey who did the move in the 20's. Michael Jackson always acknowledged his influences Astaire, Gene Kelly, James Brown and never STOLE a move
Howard's voice is so fantastic. I'd recognize his voice in any song. These three were so good together. Too bad their inner differences got in the way. This song never gets old for me. Just great sounds--I miss it. Their music is timeless.
@lukeloveslauraalways It wasn't all difference they wasn't getting paid by Dick Griffey who was like a lot od crooks back in the day I would have quit to and so would you. My girl Jody on harmonies made the sound and her charisma since Soul Train was the bomb glad she took her talents elsewhere though Shalamar was the bomb
Back in the 80`s when this song came out, i proposed to my girlfriend while i was in the navy. Sadly that same night we were recalled to the ship and were deployed to the middle east because of tensions there. she mailed me all of my love letters burned up and kept the ring. i guess she thought i was playing the love them, leave them game. I still think of her when i hear this song
If this trio had stayed together a little longer, but it was never to be , too many fights internally.They were talented , this was the best shalamar version, hope you realise there 4 didffernt shalamar groups due to constant changes within the group and the label Execs..Jeffrey, Jody and Howard were the best Shalamar line up, the others have been poor
@lanalexa20 THEY SUCK..THATS WHATZ WRONG WITH THEM..U SEE...THIS IS MUSIC...NOT THE SORRY SHIT BEYONCE OR LADY CACA PUT OUT...U DISMISSED LIL GIRL...NOW DONT BUG ME...LOL
Great music then and today, a lot of posts talk about back then, but music always comes from what's goin' on now- wheather O'Jays or PE or 50 Cent- the current issues is what they write about. My 2 cents- sounds are harder today b/c times are.
@dantenyc13 I respect your opinion but I have to disagree. I think whats changed is the values. A dollar is the number one thing desired now, music be damned. Thats why so much of it is fake now.
this is feel good 80's music right here... New Generation don't know nothin' about this!! i wish Howard and Jody can work out their differences out though... we need this group back again.
@ecw231 Chile you need to get the fact from Ms Jody's mouth there is no differences go to her youtube chaanel jwatley1 and watch her unfiltered series the jeffrey dude was abusive hewett was sexist the lable owner wasn't paying up and god blessed her for getting out of that mess but she talks noo hard feelings i don't want to see her backing up anyone personally, why would anyone wish someone go backwards? she chats reuinons on part 7 just like this music for what its is
Leon Sylvers III of "The Sylvers" produced 6 Shalamar Albums.The Man's name needs to be mentioned for his contributions to music.He also produced "It's a love thing" by The Whispers.Among many other cuts.Just based on the work that he did with Shalamar & The Sylvers the man has earned his place.
Disco Gardens, Big Fun, Three For Love, Go For It, Friends, and The Look....yup that makes 6. You have to wonder that 1981's Go For It was not produced by Leon Sylvers by himself unlike the other 5 albums. Other producers were Howard Hewett, James Ingram, and Jeffrey Daniels (who produced half of the album). I guess by 1984, Leon was'nt a much of a in demand producer anymore although he conituned to work with The Whispers for a few songs from 1984 to 1987.
Thanks for the extended info.I always welcome insight into the music arts.He also produced "Let's try love again" (A very good song) by the Brothers Johnson.He wrote Black Street's "Before I let you go". I was surprised when I found that out! The entire Lakeside album "Shot Of Love" which contains "It's all the way live" & "Given in to love" check this one out as well.A very talented man.
Leon Sylvers had worked on the first few albums for both Lakeside and Midnight Star before Dick Griffey saw their strong talents to produce for themselves and then history was made for both groups. Lakeside took Klymaxx under their wing and Midnight Star took The Deele under theirs too. Leon had worked with Evelyn King, 7th Wonder, The Spinners, New Kids On The Block, Glenn Jones, Gladys Knight & The Pips, Smokey Robinson, Joyce Kennedy, Lushus Daime, The Tavares and more
Leon only produced 2 songs for the Brothers Johnson and "Let's Try Love Again" was not it. He produced 1984's top 10 hit "You Keep Me Comin' Back" of which has Silverspoons wirtten all over it. The second song he produced for them was "Lovers Forever."
I looked into it and you are correct.He did not produce "Let's try love again". I apologize to you on behalf of the online source of info that I used.We must be as accurate as possible when dealing with the arts & credit given.
If you wanna hear a good Leon Sylvers ballad, listen to Dynasty's "A Man In Love" (Leon sings lead on that one), "Take Another Look At Love," "The Only One (Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis wrote and played some instruments on that song although Leon produced it with William Shelby and Kevin Spencer), and "The Way I Feel About You" Better yet, Glenn Jones' "Bring Back Your Love" was a heartfilling Leon Sylvers penned ballad and one of his last great ones too.
I've either listened to or sang this song in my head a thousand times. Only now, however, am I looking at this video and wondering how footage of this great choreography by Jeffrey and Jodie could have been kept under such wraps and preserved so poorly. Hey, I can barely make out their faces but their move are popping. You'd never think choreography could ever eclipse this great song but I tell ya... I wanna find a partner and try out those smooth moves J&J worked out perfectly to this groove
Miki Free without a guitar. Mickey Free started his career as the Greatest Hardrock guitarist EVER. I swear.. it's true, his band SmokeHouse should have been signed on the spot. Why they didn't is a mystery to me. He's never been recorded right, except for this sould stuff.
Now he claims he's an indian and is all buff. I guess he's pretty adaptable
Oh my gosh! This is for the lover in all real music lovers.....If you like real R&B initially....... RHYTHM & BLUES! This what it's about....white people wanted to be down so bad they had to change it to R&B.....cuz they didn't have the groove to be Rhythmitical
Great music from a great time. Enjoy these videos folks. Mainstream appreciation for Black Music is gone. There are no Black bands or even Black groups! Sure, there are talented black musicians, but most Black fans won't support them. We seem to prefer garbage music such as Lil' Wayne, Kanye, Drake, Soulja Boy. T.I., Tre Songs, Beyonce, Diddy, Jay-Z, etc. All White musical acts play instruments! There are countless White bands. We had better wake up at look to the past, to save our future!
Whao!! Saw these guys LIVE in Nigeria, alongside The Whispers and Cary Lucas, brings back awesome memory, thanks to my big sis for taking me to the show..always wanted to dance like Jeffery Daniels...This was whwn music was music. Thanks For the Video...
@Obosi123 whoa you just give me chills those are still my top favs wish i was there God Bless you for seeing these groups now i havfe yo put up the Whispers thanks.
oh man this was back in the days where we dint trip about nothing., where was the party going to be at this weekend? Things where so much more mellow ,,Yes thanks for this video it brings a smile to my face and makes me wonder what ever became of ,,,,,,,,,,,,????
I am a BIG Shalamar fan!!! And this is one of my FAV all-time songs period!! I just wish they would do a reunion concert!! They ALL need to workout whatever difference they have. It's been 20+ yrs get over it!!!
@Aseop just say NO to reunions black ones never do well and as a watley fan it would slay me to see it. she's so much bettter off to this day without the baggage follow her on twitter i do
@stilettogroove I've been following her on twitter for awhile now. lol I still want them to reunite and give old and new fans a show. I thought they were great together.
@stilettogroove I said they ALL need to get together and talk out their hurt feelings. It's been almost 30 yrs, holding on to something like that changes you I don't care what anyone says. And I've heard all THREE perspectives on this matter hence my statement. Like Lauryn Hill said "Funny how money change a situation, miscommunication leads to compication." How funny those words ring true. They were young mistakes were made, as adults they should have more understanding of that now.
@IamtheonlyKarizma ...believe it or not, you don't know how right you are.children born after this song came out, are definitely better looking than their parents (my generation). but, there were a lot of songs that came out in that same era (70's to 90's) that altered human evolution. there are far more nice looking humans in the world today, trust me.
The singer of today have no heart and imgination...............cause xbox and playstation doesnt promote creativity..........and when a kid is bored mom goes out and buys this crap instead of the child finding ways to be creative
This was nostalgic...it seriously brought tears to my eyes!!! This era can never be repeated it was the best time in my life. Shalamar and so many other groups like them had a profound place in black culture and growing up back in the day. Music really meant something then, not like the crap they try and pass off as music today..I feel sorry for kids today. They have no clue it's really sad.

@stilettogroove I've been following her on twitter for awhile now. lol I still want them to reunite and give old and new fans a show. I thought they were great together.

@Aseop btw you might want to visit her youtube channel and watch her shalamar unfiltered series it's not her that needs to get over it apparently
stilettogroove 1 year ago
@stilettogroove I said they ALL need to get together and talk out their hurt feelings. It's been almost 30 yrs, holding on to something like that changes you I don't care what anyone says. And I've heard all THREE perspectives on this matter hence my statement. Like Lauryn Hill said "Funny how money change a situation, miscommunication leads to compication." How funny those words ring true. They were young mistakes were made, as adults they should have more understanding of that now.

@IamtheonlyKarizma ...believe it or not, you don't know how right you are.children born after this song came out, are definitely better looking than their parents (my generation). but, there were a lot of songs that came out in that same era (70's to 90's) that altered human evolution. there are far more nice looking humans in the world today, trust me.

This was nostalgic...it seriously brought tears to my eyes!!! This era can never be repeated it was the best time in my life. Shalamar and so many other groups like them had a profound place in black culture and growing up back in the day. Music really meant something then, not like the crap they try and pass off as music today..I feel sorry for kids today. They have no clue it's really sad.
