yes I can still do these steps. I still weigh the same too . my weight hasn't changed since high school . I try ro gain . But , am so hyper . lol . jeffrey can still poplock and moonwalk too . Man ! I really really miss those times . Too bad outside forces messed it up for us .
Look at 'em people enjoying themselves while the group is singing and dancing as well! The 1970s,and also the 1980s,were really days never to come back again; i can figure out a bit the atmosphere of how it was; and then,as soon as the 1990s came, it's like that "electricity" had progressively faded away ;remember??that era when we were invaded by rap-crap and other crappy music of the same kind(dance,trip-hop,techno...etc) well : the nineties,I mean !
Never heard this one before...it's hot! And if Shalamar had continued on this path then the group would have lasted longer - if they had been paid behind the scene like they should have been all along.
We were a GROUP then . We LOVED what we were doing . It's why I never aspired to be a solo act . You can't have this much fun by yourself . Jeffrey and I sharing the lead ; yet the cutest part is Jody's " uh ; uh " . Lol . I still love it .
@Shalamarman you guys look as if you are truly having a blast. i haven't seen many people who could pull off such choreography while singing. lol. i lost weight doing the steps from "take that to the bank" lol. it just looked like fun so i learned them. you all had some awesome moves. can you still move like this?
This is hot and they are right at home on Soul Train. Howard Hewitt is mostly remembered because #1. He had some longevity with the group, and #2. he was a good singer and could carry a tune solo. He was not the dancer that Jody and Jeffrey were but he was very easy on the eyes. LOL. However I do agree that it would have been nice if the lead vocals had been spread around more.
The tune, but not the song itself, sounds VERY familiar....but I can't place from where, I think it's a more recent pop song. Whatever the case, this is cool, too.
Not to criticize (I don't like criticizing) but you got it right : Howard Hewett, it's like he wanted to be the only one, the main guy or a sort of leader; he is a great singer, true, and also an accomplished musician, but I think they were better here
It's a pity,because everyone tends to forget that before the arrival of Howard Hewett and his charisma(in 1979, for the album Big Fun)there was Gary Mumford in 1977(for the 1st album Uptown Festival),who left and was replaced by Gerald Brown,in 1978(the one guy here;...for"Disco Gardens")...2 singers forgotten -alas!- for ever...
U got 2 be kiddin' me!!! Two of my fav old school groups on one track on my fav show (although The Sylvers were'nt on this eppy). This joint is like electricity!! U got anymore Shalamar from the 70's on "that show?"
This sounds very new wave too me. NW was just becoming popular at this time too. Song was ahead of its time.

This sounds like something The Sylvers would sing.
I like how the orginal Shalamar shared the lead
After Howard Hewitt joined the group you saw less of that.
