I'm 44 and have wonderful memories ..Your music brought so much joy. I'm a black woman who grew up in Akron, Ohio and Shalamar was EVERYTHING to us. I'm sorry the shady side of the music business ruined any chances of reunion, but I understand your feelings. Life is too short to do something that makes you unhappy, so DO YOU JODY. I am so glad that you had an awesome solo career. I remember in the 80's wanting hair and clothes just like you! You were and still are an inspiration!

@40mbooh Thank YOU for watching 'Unfiltered' (to fill in some of the gaps left in Unsung).

@MRJACKSON19581 "Regroup" is not even on my "Top 200 Things To Do" before my time is up on this earth, lol - sorry. I wish those guys the best as well as daughter Griffey/owner/Shalamar member. Been there, done it and still have a T-shirt! I've never been someone who does what others do or expect. As I've always said, I encourage everyone (including you) to live life how YOU want and be happy as much as possible dictating YOUR journey - that's what I'm doing and will continue to do :-)

@jwatley1 i love 'Help Me' and thanks for taking the time to reply, made my day x :)

[hearingdoctor]

@jwatley1 You are correct. I was only up to Part 5 and I did take the time to finish watching and then went back and watch the Unsung documentary... They managed to leave out a lot. Mea Culpa! When Im wrong or overstep my boundaries, I am willing to say so. When I watched them at first, I was like, "Come on, really??? Come on... you are a success and no reason to read as "bitter", but then I started watching more, I realized they edited a lot out.. Why? Sensationalize it a bit?

[jwatley1]

@scunnym No, I did not and I love what Howard did on it despite how it was handled as I said. I do however have a vocal of the demo for the Shalamar song 'Help Me' which I co-wrote and originally sung. It's all good - everything worked out in the end. I would still not trade my Shalamar experience, I learned a lot. Thanks!

[jwatley1]

@hearingdoctor This isn't a protest - rather I was filling in the many blanks and gaps left out of Unsung because there were many key points from back then as well as from in recent years which I discussed. Did you watch Part 7, where I discuss 'Reunions' the one we did with Babyface (omitted from Unsung), what happened when I invited Jeffrey and Howard to sing on a song for my album 'Flower', negotiations?? Before judging where I'm coming from, you should. Thanks so much!

@jwatley1 Come on Jody, do it for the fans.. otherwise it reads like a "lady doth protest tomuch"....

[scunnym]

Jody did you ever record your own version of You Can Count On Me?

[1973cleopatrajones]

@mrhorn2001 CORRECTION...if Howard and Leon had such great chemistry, shouldn't the formula continue to work after Jody's departure? I mean, I'm just saying. Jody never needed the platform of Youtube to get her shine on, the spotlight has never left, but if I were you, I'd be more concern about the fading light that has dimmed oh so long ago for the gentlemen.....but maybe if the two remove their caps, i'm sure they'll LET THE SUN SHINE IN!
