Granted, I came to enjoy this group only I after I fell in love with Ms. Watley as the divine solo artist that she was and is. I believe all of Shalamar's albums are available on CD so anyone whose into them should be able to get all of their prime stuff. <br><br>And you can "take that to the bank !" Shalamar, hey !

The post-Jody Shalamar was fun to look at. I vaguely recall an album cover with a lot of skin-tight white pleather pants. Hewett fans may want to google-pic that one. I just did.

A quick check of Google and Wikipedia reveals that I'm confusing 80s r&b groups with lead singers named Howard.

Howard Huntsberry was the lead singer of the lesser known group Klique. And he was the one who covered “A Woman A Lover A Friend” and then went on to “La Bamba” fame.

A bonus to make up for my grievous error: Remember that final scene in “Ghostbusters II” when the Statue of Liberty is rocking out to “(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher?” That was the other Howard on the vocals, not Jackie.
