Shalamar - Over And Over Official Video

[kmeluso]

Real smoooooth. Love it. Thanks for posting it.

[kmeluso]

Why does rap even exist? Why didn't the offspring of these artists keep this great music going on? Wish I could go back in time and hunt down John O'Connor, I mean the people who started this and talk them out of it.

[tollertoller4life]

Leon silvers was a beast when it came to his production behind them boards.

[ThainaMJ]

In my opinion, Howard was beautiful at the time .. Now, face and body is not beautiful, but the talent is just the same ... magnificent.

[VenusGospeI]

this group of talent still fizzes like a fireball and sizzles like one too i cant get tired of listening to this and i"m 50 in three days everyone tells me i dont look it photo to follow lol

[VenusGospeI]

this song is so gooooooooooooooooood cant get over it when i first heard it it had a really mesmerising quality yo it enraptured and captured i get it

[rush2745]

Another reason why lady gaga and bieber songs/videos get more play than an old Shalamar classic like this one, is because that's what the music/entertainment industry chooses to promote. And that won't change until people of like minds decide that they're fed up with the crap that is supposed to pass for music today, and demand a better product. Also because this song is old, and probably not many people are even aware of it's existence to begin with. Especially the younger generation.

[MrJuly1990ish]

@rush2745

Don't get me wrong, I agree with you to a certain extent, but to be fair, I think it's because of the mass media promotion combined with technology (sensory overload) that we have today, such as the internet, smart-phones, electronic billboards, computers, is the reason those artist like Gaga, Bieber, Wayne, Rhinna are getting more radio play, millions of hits on YouTube, that this almost 30 year old video by Shalamar didn't have back then.

[solosnap1]

@rush2745 !well put!

[TheRS1960]

best shalamar song awsome just love it

[DaveWollenberg]

I just can't help but wonder, now that Carolyn Griffey's taken over for Jody, has she got the same REGISTER as Jody?

[afroblack1000]

this is my song

[afroblack1000]

This is song, Loooveeeeeeeee itttttttttttt

[1blessedbrotha]

sophiscated funk! i love this song

[TheSuperbatspider]

Great song!

[Bayay55]

It's a shame a song like this one have only 195.365 views while other crap songs like bieber and lady gaga have millions of views. Really people lost their ears...

[TronandFlynn82]

@Bayay55 LOL! I couldn't agree with you more! I'm soooooooooooo glad I was born in 1972, since being raised in the seventies and eighties had so many awesome advantages like incredibly AWESOME music with SOUL and MEANING. I truly feel sorry for today's generation. They missed out. BIG TIME!!!

[FrshJurassicPrnceYA]

@Bayay55 More like they lost their taste in music!!

[davicharrllss]

@Bayay55

YES

[Predilus]

It depends, in george martin's words it would sound like that: millions of drunken ruffians are nothing compared to 200000 hand selected and well seasoned knights of eternal taste.

Who gives a funk about numbers, it's always the same (exceptions are always possible of course). The mass goes for the crap, the "underground" is a minority that knows what's really good.

Shalamar is 16 year old french oak matured bruichladdich. Smooth, warming and intoxicating. Take a sip and enjoy!

[zudix1]

@Bayay55 They will come soon in 70's, 80's;-)

[emir17071986]

@Bayay55 you are so right my friend !!! people these days doesnt know what is the music !!! shame :o))

[VenusGospeI]

[StrictlyBG]

funny thing is , the synth part with the cat at 2:59 sounds like "MeeeeOOoooooww.....meeeeeoooO­Oooooww" like that meow of a cat.

the bass groove at 3:10 is of tha chain !!!!!

[orlandojames33]

2:59 NO KITYY~!!

[LBJTV]

This video made me sad..i remember this was the time when Shalamar was falling part..and Howard had to the video by himself..and then in the end here..he lowers the volume of all 3 singers..who eventually broke up when the song was released..

[pineapplechunks6]

real music, love the baseline...wicked!

[StrictlyBG]

3:07 the bass line ,wow man ,very cool, very cool bass play and funky song but sad

[imacomputer101]

what do you call this type of music?

[BricktownBubba]

@imacomputer101 REAL music

[dermotoblong]

@imacomputer101 shite

[imacomputer101]

@dermotoblong "shite" sounds french...

[aea611]

Love this song!!

[ceemocee]

enjoy music with substance my time the 80s baby

[FreeRhuna]

this is NOT an official Shalamar video. For the devil's sake, I see only Howard Hewitt. Where is Jody Watley ?

I repeat : this is NOT an official Shalamar video. I video without Jody Watley can't possibly be an official Shalamar video, damnit.

[gre68]

can we have 80s dance music back please

[MEDITATIONSTODAY]

voice awsome,The bass is hot.

[The55flave]

good old days,

[schoolie]

pay homage to S O L A R

[Rorykeith1]

This song brings back so many memories, I listened to it over and over and wrote down on the lyrics at work back in the day I'll always remember that like it was yesterday....

[jray1099]

Pluckin dat BASS

[motownmaniax]

Great groove from a classic of 80's pop. The video/sound is in excellent condition, too. Not always the case with older vids. ♫

[Harold81]

Classic early 80's. God, I miss those days.

[muhideen]

The dislikers got Tinnitus from listening to this song "over and over" again.

[MrSmartBob]

Hewitt. Is a dick. Nice song though.

[TheRS1960]

omg wot a song brings back so many memories still sounds fantastic

[connectiontoelements]

@MrRich213 you seem to know alot about bad porn. btw thanks for ruining the video

[OssesTheDiscoKing]

Bmw 635csi...anyone noticed ? Classic song,classic car.Shalamar forever.

[JayKayTee7]

@OssesTheDiscoKing ... Yeahhhhh man, had a 635csi in white (back in the day!)

;p... Love this track!!

[billyblue3]

I agree, ZACCURIAN. It sends shivers down my spine because I remember the fond memories of this song from when I was in high school. Makes me feel old!

Music like this will never come around again. SOOOOOOOO SAD!

[halfamick1]

Loved this stuff back in the clubs in the 80,s

[09MDH]

@zaccurian yea I do too its real.

[zaccurian]

Just superb! This song sends shivers up my spine when I listen to it. Does anyone else ever get that feeling?

If you do, it means the song is that good, because you actually feel the music as well as hear it.

[craigg440]

Timeless classic, great voice,great sound,great melody, superb group.

[honeyssweet1]

I saw sharlamar twice back in the day. Totally awesome show, Im glad I was there. I Love Howard Hewett he's so cute.....

[YOUREAPSOW]

HOWARD HAS A GREAT VOICE,GREAT SONG BUT SOME OF HIS DANCE MOVES IN SOME INSTANCES RESEMBLES CARLTON BANKS AND TOM JONES

[sexyrexysexy]

This is R&B, not the FUCKING CRAP BULLSHIT they release these days. The new stuff is FUCKED. Any dumb fucker could make it. I was obviously born in the wrong era.

[StrictlyBG]

@sexyrexysexy U ARE SO RIGHT MAN I AGREE WITH U

[sexyrexysexy]

@sexyrexysexy You're my man. Dude with class.

[crunk617]

one of my favorite tracks

[MrLecasawi]

je comprend pas qu'on puisse pas aimer cette zik;elle dechire

[shadowmixx]

I have never seen the video 4 this song. This is cool.

Its nice seeing Micky Free and Leon Sylvers behind the boards while Howard

weaves his vocal magic.

I wish more artists would shoot video footage in the studio.

:-)

[Kingcire72x]

@shadowmixx Yo I just noticed who hose two are @ the boards Damn I guess when your little you don't pay that much attention to details ....Any way This is My Shit!!!!

[bigdumbclown]

Howard Hewitt, Jody Whatley...and, umm....the other guy. Awesome!

[MrJohnathon17]

Over and over a breath of fresh air that`s Howard Hewitt keep me there Howard back in a time of music what memories brilliant,thanks bro...Irish john

[bossu3konn]

typical, great Solar Records sound...that's soooo first 80's

[EmeraldJade66]

DITTO MsMusicDiva1! One of my faves by Shalamar and Howard H. The BEST!!!

Love Howard's voice!

[MsMusicDiva1]

I could play this classic Over and Over!!

[sweetdeedra]

Where is Jodi and Jeffery? I hear their voices???  I like all three in the group, not just Howard?????

[frankjum]

@sweetdeedra Yeah you'll have to check out the Unsung they did on Shalamar. They actually said that the group split right around that time.

This is one of my favs. I didn't know it was a single til I saw the Unsung because as a shorty we used 2 play our cousin's music. About 4:00 Howard goes into the "No matter how many times a day, I never get enough of your love....I'm tellin you over and over and over again" it cuts off on this version but it's one of those nuances that makes it memorable.

[TheMrMarilyn]

@sweetdeedra Actually...Jeffery never sang a NOTE on ANY Shalamar record!!It was ALL Jermaine Stewart!!Ah know...coz miss Jody an meh go back to THE day lol (and ah was quite friendly with Jermaine too...til he passed)!!x

[Kingcire72x]

@TheMrMarilyn You know you right Jermain was rockin the vocals in the background ! R.I.P.

Dude was a fashion DIVO before the term was thought of !

[sewitt60]

@sweetdeedra When this was released, Shalamar had actually split up. You can hear their voices but they had left.

[soulchildsacomin]

@sweetdeedra

According to Jody Watley's interview on Unsung Unfiltered, the only song Jeffrey actually participated on was "Dead Giveaway." Jody sang on all songs except for the title track and "You Can Count On Me" (she got into a dispute with that becuase she was suppose to sing lead on that song, but then Leon Sylvers decided for Howard to sing lead on it instead).

[MrGaryGlobal]

One of Shalamar's best songs

[marinzg]

Always wanted one of those 635's :)

[TheDouble30]

I do my own music but still this is a mystery how Mr. Sylvers get this pieces of music together?? With all this equipment and digital tech today they can do very polished but lifeless tunes. I love it!

[mring1]

Shalamar has always been my favourite band since the early 80´s. Remember me and my friends playing a night to remember, make that move, friends, there it is all day long.....

[IWantAVideoAtGmail]

Remember this video on "Video Soul" and "Midnight Love". I know. I just dated myself.

[xxdjcharlierockxx]

@IWantAVideoAtGmail all good...great

[bama40nhc]

I'm not a hater, and am a rabid Shalamar fan, but I always hear how much more filling this song would have been with Howard throwing the lead back and forth with Jody. Many may not agree, but true Shalamar fans know their best work was when the dual lead format was utilized...Miss these guys a lot.

[DirtyRed225]

@bama40nhc , i agree totally, this is a great song but had Jodi had a verse it could have been greater.

[bama40nhc]

@DirtyRed225 Thanx for being true Shalamar people, Dirty Red. I love Howard's work, and no one---not even MJ could outdance the 'Pop-a-long' kid, but taking Jodi off that dual lead was the beginning of the end for the best that Shalamar had to offer. It is what it is...but i can't help but wonder how much heavier my stash of their albums would be had Dick Griffey not made that decision?

[patiaustin]

i love Shalamar! all their songs are freggin amazing! 

[esechucote52]

q-vo ese from an oc og lowrider nomas y-que ese!13ls

[pisceslove9]

Omg!! I love this song. They won't write songs like this or make music like this anymore. His voice gives me such chills! I can listen to this song over and over.

[BricktownBubba]

No wonder the group broke up. I love Shalamar's music, but all the attention was on Howard. I caught a glimpse of Micki Free but if I didn't know any better, I would swear this was a Howard Hewett single.

[chicsensibilities]

@BricktownBubba This video was apparently done after the group broke up. Jeffry Daniels was the first to quit and did not sing on this but did promo in the Uk and Ms. Jody who quit before the filiming of Dead Giveaway but sang on this song and final album where this is from. The group had been mandated to be Howards vehicle by Griffey and Sylvers,it's on Watley Unfiltered series on her youtube channel. Micki Free was brought in for video but does not sing on this according to album credits.

[soulchildsacomin]

@chicsensibilities

Watley was on the "Dead Giveaway" video, but afterwards, she quit (that video was done shortly after The Look album was released). Tru Jeffrey quit Shalamar before The Look was completed (he only appeared on "Dead Giveaway"), but was forced to appear on UK shows with the band and the "Dead Giveaway" video so he would'nt get sued because he was still under contract with the band. "Over & Over" was released in late 1983 after Jeffrey and Jody wasa able to quit.

[soulchildsacomin]

@BricktownBubba

The video came out in the end of 1983 (around the time the single was released, #26 on the R&B charts). Jody split from Shalamar (as so Jeffrey) right after the filming of the video for "Dead Giveaway" in the summer of 1983. Micki Free was always hanging around SOLAR Records and to be a new member of the group, he learned most of the Shalamar songs (before 1983, Micki never even heard of Shalamar and had to research them, see Unsung).

[3811iberis]

Oh snap, I haven't seen this video since the mid 80's, always enjoyed this one, an this 1983 R&B song, one of the best of that year, with their trademark SOLAR Records, Leon Sylvers III produced sound, this is quallity 80's R&B, no question about it...

[BrazilWorld]

A partir do 3:20 a batida fica invertida, por ser programada. A voz volta num tempo "errado'. Sempre percebi isso.

From 3:20 the beat is reversed, being programmed. The voice back in time "wrong. " When I realized this. (Google Tradutor)

[fastwalker100]

An A-M-A-Z-I-N-G God given talent of a voice. This man was born to sing. My favourite ever Shalamar song too. Is Howard Hewett cool or what? Shame this video was made at the time that the great Whately, Daniel and Hewett collaboration was coming apart at the seams. Great memories though.

[MrRich213]

Love his voice but the video starts out like a bad porn

[bigmelo19]

@MrRich213 lmao i felt quite the same thing,but that gives some style

[newtonmilly]

@MrRich213 Starting out like a Bad Porn is the Goodness of it ha ha!

[dominoize]

@MrRich213 ..really? How much porn do you watch to know how the BAD one start? Lol.

[Kingcire72x]

@MrRich213 Malibu Swingers hahahah

[sexyrexysexy]

@MrRich213 But we like bad porn.....

[bimalou]

je décolle .....que du trés bon funk comme je l'aime !shalamar est toujours dans mes préférés!!!!!!!!!!!

[bigmelo19]

@bimalou jai pris le mm vol que toi on dirais,t en quel classe?

[sogholi]

Sing it to Me Howard! I can't stop hitting the replay button 'over and over' again.

[lkaa2]

Today's new artists SUCK. 99% of their "music" sparks zero emotion. If only they could make music like this again!

[NCCRIP]

Shalamar = CLASSIC. Took it back to Reel to Reel

[birdatplay]

chune!!

[ChoiceFM1]

wow this is beautiful music!

[celticlarry]

crack and rap really fucked this place up

[TerrenceA1]

@celticlarry Hmm, crack did but you sure about the rap?? =-(

[bobbieleigh100]

a breath of fresh air - love it

[askgemini]

What a great voice and melody, so smooth, young guns need to recognise real music....

[sexyrexysexy]

@askgemini Young guns? More like useless fuckers with no idea.....

[askgemini]

Slick, what a beautiful song, why cant today's music be like this....

[Samskies]

Yo, Shalamar got a new girl in there, man, bitch fine like a motherfucker.

[DirtyRed225]

@Samskies, LOL!! Charlie Murphy!

[nitedrive]

@Samskies - And after it was all over..we went inside the house and he served us pancakes. PANCAKES.

[muzzzik314]

Classic...pure classic!

[Archer19671]

another of my faves great song

[alwayzsleepee]

Even though SHALAMAR didn't last, the music that the group produced was,is,and will always be forever timeless, and I will always love them. Those three stars came together to produce the universe that is SHALAMAR and I am greatful to have been able to witness their music.

[ashy6793]

THIS IS WHAT MUSIC SHOULD SOUND LIKE!!! SWEET 80's

S

[dieeser]

listening to that on BOSE speakers is like listening to GOD chant!

[cityrayman]

First I agree this is one of those songs that stay in your head after you have heard it. For me it was Nuremburg Germany 1983. Did anyone find it strange that at the end of the video on the control board there are the names of Jody Jeffrey and Howard?Just makes you say hmmmmmmmmm!

[UncleAndii]

@cityrayman Dude, towards the end of 1983 or so Howard Hewitt and the rest, as I can recall were not getting on, hence the two strange couple at the start of the video. What a great voice nonetheless, don't you think?

[SoldierTS]

@cityrayman maybe their names are on the control board to symbolize that they were shutting down, breaking up. I was wondering why I didn't see the rest of the gang ine the video.

[MUSICENCYLOPEDIA]

@cityrayman I guess they wanted to acknowledge Jody and Jeffrey who had left the group before this single was released. Plus Howard had wanted to continue promoting the album

[troufiou]

best voice ever!!!

[topstryker]

This is the when R&B was classy, and didn't talk about "booty-calls" and other sexual innuendo. Today's music is shallow...and ghetto.

[TheRS1960]

this brings back sum nice memories proper music

[mreinstein48]

Funky music, the best ever!!!

[ProcyonAlpha]

Shalamar is eh pretty cool guy and doesn't afraid of anything.

[OQUENDO1968]

@ProcyonAlpha Shalamar a pretty cool Guy?? LOL That's Funny.

[sexyrexysexy]

Proper R & B. Timeless, unlike the fucking shit that is out today (shit may be to generous a word). Ie. snoop dog - You have got to be fucking joking, my dogs won't even listen to that crap. If that gets played on the radio, they piss over the house in rebellion. I love my dogs, they have respect for decent music.

[michellesmcdowell]

A good song is a good song. The quality of this groups music never dies.

[michellesmcdowell]

The only voice that I would dare to compare this guys to is "James 'J.T.' Taylor", the lead singer for Kool & The Gang. Smooth and silky

[mpny]

Over and over and over again! Bring back R&B 80's!!!! You have to feel priviledged to have grown up in an era where Music was just simply GOOD!!

[dboyj7]

It's true what all y'all said...I love Shalamar...But, keep in mind, the break-up were necessary as earlier Shalamar stuff was "dance beat", or "disco" style hits, with great r & b ballads.But, from 1980-83 music changed alot, and Howard, and the gang had to make a decision, and the conflict in musical directions caused their break up. However, look how well Jody did in 1987-1989, some epic years for her, rivaling Paula Abdul and Janet Jackson, the two big female "killers" at the time.

[leofilm]

oh, that last shot where Leon pulls the faders down on Howard, Jody and Jeffrey is haunting and so sad. it's like the director was trying to say something. although, i guess that was already said by having mickey free sitting there.

[gadafiii]

i love 80's

[sophieskunk8989]

heavily on the replay personal sentimental memories

[sophieskunk8989]

heavily on the replay

[TaiCaliusa]

The Vocals,the Sound ...Sonically haunting!,just Genius,perhaps my favorite dance track from Shalamar..well maybe along with "There It Is"

[sophieskunk8989]

saved mi in 79

[pablobusa]

So good ! We want more !!!

[wildnpeacefulme]

*Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­h!!!!!!!!* *REPEAT REPEAT REPEAT*

[blacksquare09]

Leon Sylvers Looks just like Superfly in this Video tell me im not Lying.

[porkchop745]

@blacksquare09 He really does.

[msOctober12]

I remember listening to this with my best friend in her basement after school,1982....
