This reminds me of Friday nights going out then clubbing great time I’m 62 and loved the eighties and we never bothered what sex or race we were just lived our lives and music
Omg this is pure talent Howard had a remarkable vocal range back then and Jody is a Goddess and Jeffrey’s moves killing it, I absolutely loved this group and still do.
This is as RARE as it is EXCEPTIONAL!!! There are VERY VERY FEW existing live performance footages of THE ORIGINAL LINE-UP OF SHALAMAR performing WITH A BACK-UP BAND!!!!!! VERY RARE!!!! And, did anyone spot THE LATE GREAT JERMAIN STEWART out there on background vocals???? EXCELLENT POST!!!!!
@@myronsmith2114 you are correct, the original line up in 1978 was Jody Watley, Jeffrey Danials & Gerald Brown. I believe their debut album was called UPTOWN FESTIVAL.
Great live performance by one of my favorite groups. Love seeing RIP Jermaine Stewart as back up vocals. Shalamar always seemed to have so much more love from the UK than the US. I never could understand why they weren't bigger in the US.
Four years later (1986), Jermaine Stewart-Shalamar’s choreographer and back-up singer (unmistakably in the red bow-tie and suspenders)-had a mega success with his hit, “We Don’t Have to Take Our Clothes Off”. A year later (1987), Jermaine’s close friend-Jody Watley-emerged into her own greatness.
The dance that Jody, Jeffrey and Howard was doing in the beginning of A Night To Remember is called "The Dominguez Strut" and then they did "The Body Wave". We were doing those dances back in L.A. and Shalamar brought it all over the world. 😍
How great to see three absolute dance anthems of the early 80s being performed live. Shalamar had a wonderful sound...the bass, sequencer, guitar and beautiful harmonies. I loved Jody too, of course. And legwarmers over leather trousers were a distinctly 1982 look! Great memories of a better time for music.
10 stars out of 5 !! Mindblowingly outstanding stellar performance from Messrs Hewitt,Whatley and Daniel ...I'm in thrall to them !! Always remember ..NO auto tune!! Genuine talent on display.
Wow! I never knew this live recording even existed. 9 out of 10 bands succumb to the adrenaline of a live context and play their songs couple of bpms too fast - often losing some of the groove the process. However, in this specific case, the Shalamar live band actually *slowed the song down!* (Speaking of "There It Is".) The result is an even deeper groove than the recorded version. I enjoyed this a lot!
Thank you so much for uploading this! Loved Shalamar! The first song I remember by them was Second Time Around. Loved their early 80's stuff and of course, loved Jody Watley in her solo career. I graduated high school in 1982 so this really takes me back to those fun days!
What wonderful lightning in a bottle Shalamar(with Leon Sylvers' music/production)was. Howard and Jody , the voices with the awesome dance moves of Jody and Jeffrey and of course the hip and sexy look they all had.
@@whotrickedyouBenard & Nile were monsters! Pity Nile now days doesn't give as much credit to Bernard & Tony as he should. Nile credits Bowie & Madonna more than the aforementioned.
Fabulous live vocals (backed up by Jermaine Stewart) way before autotune and vocal enhancements - so fake. This is raw and authentic with real instruments being played when you HAD to be able to actually sing (HH was a beast!) The mighty Shalamar who also happened to look good ... And how great it must be to enjoy your work as much as this 5:58 😊 My goodness, how I miss those days ...
The beginnings of greatness. The absolute funk of Howard Hewwit voice. The subtle vibe and dance energy of Jeffery Daniels and the smooth excellence that Jody Watley delivers....combined, the harmony are nothing short of glorious. My favorite all-time band. From "Just ride my horses at my ranch" lowball record label mogul Dick Griffey to climbing mountains to a stella solo rnb career, Jody Watley delivered in full. Sorry Dick, Jode has her own ranch now and some.... Girlfriend was and still is the real deal!!!
Let’s make a toast to those who helped make this occasion, SOLAR records , Dick Griffey, Leon F Sylvers lll all the musicians and writers and the incomparable Shalamar, Howard Jeffrey and Jody 😎🎶🕺🏿💪🏿
Shalamar je les aime depuis 40 ans ♥️♥️Un trio inégalable et inégalé !!!🏆🏆L’harmonie de leurs voix et leur mélodies nous ont fait chavirer à chaque sortie de leurs albums et surtout Friends dont j’ai usé les sillons tellement je l’ai écouté et réécouté ♥️Jodie , Howard et Jeffrey , I love You for ever ♥️♥️
EXCELLENT Performance from one of my favorite groups. I know Jeffrey and Howard are still performing as shalamar, and Jody has a wonderful solo act that covers shalamar's catalog...but I'd like to see them come together again and tour.
I remember this like it was yesterday. So much talent in one band. Criminal. The bit where Jools Holland proclaims the amount of private jets and limousines it took to get them to Newcastle is missed off the front end of the introduction. Hilarious. You just don’t see such bands that often nowadays, which is a shame.
This performance would be easy to achieve today with all the autotune trickery but achieve this level in 1984! What a groove, bass, drums and joyous vocals… pure talent!
This is probably Friday 10th December 1982, since they were on Top of the Pops the day before. That would have been show number 6 of The Tube since it started on 5th November and was a weekly show.
I remember seeing this when first broadcast....I was mesmerised by their performance....brilliant............only other performance that sticks in my mind was Wet Wet Wet on The Tube
What a classic performance by a classic 80s band ...but .... it does me sad in a way ... what happened to those care free days ... have the modern generation taken the world to a darker place ??? This kind of music WAS uplifting and brought EVERYONE together... the younger generation needs to lighten up and get on with ALL generations AND colours... come on guys... give it a try!!! It doesn’t hurt 🤔
They were really big in the UK, defined my teens in the 80s, . I was jealous of my older siblings being able to go to nightclubs to boogie to Shalamar as I was only 12😊
Thanks for watching. Don't forget to leave a comment and subscribe.
Compared to what I see today, this is an example of actual talent and delivery.
OMG CAN YOU JUST FEEL THE GROOVE. WHERE HAS THE MUSIC INDUSTRY GONE......BRING IT BACK PLEASE AND FAST.
The light of the World has gone out I'm sorry to say.
Shalamar was the complete package! Not many groups can sing live, dance and look great at the same time. So much talent!
Unless I’m naive but all groups in the 80s can have all this qualities and TOTP have all their people lip synch
Live.😊
Jody was fine,can sing and dance.
This reminds me of Friday nights going out then clubbing great time I’m 62 and loved the eighties and we never bothered what sex or race we were just lived our lives and music
Dynasty we're as good.
No auto-tune, no playback, 100% live performance that sounds like a studio recording. Tight as a drum. Sheer quality.
there is a video where they perform ar kwaku Amsterdam 2022. see how well their voices are now
Thank You Ms Jody Watley for making this Shalamar Band Complete Package
Wow this sounds great live!, very raw! No lip sync or auto tune, just pure soul.
Omg this is pure talent Howard had a remarkable vocal range back then and Jody is a Goddess and Jeffrey’s moves killing it, I absolutely loved this group and still do.
Great taste in music....
Jody's voice reminds me of Diana Ross's. Both have crystal-clear delivery and both voices are so unique. Both are one of a kind!
This is as RARE as it is EXCEPTIONAL!!! There are VERY VERY FEW existing live performance footages of THE ORIGINAL LINE-UP OF SHALAMAR performing WITH A BACK-UP BAND!!!!!! VERY RARE!!!! And, did anyone spot THE LATE GREAT JERMAIN STEWART out there on background vocals???? EXCELLENT POST!!!!!
This is not the original lineup Howard came later in 1980 . The band started in 1978

They were huge to the black community in America
I noticed him too. Never knew he sang back up for Shalamar. Wow
@@nicholashillclark9868 Yeah Jermaine Stewart was close friends with Jody Watley.
they where HUGE to us black folks in the States-- for the culture
They were huge in Nigeria, with other groups like Dynasty, Lakeside and the Whispers.
Amazing performance!

Jeffery Daniel was choreographer
So did Hewitt
And Jermaine did a song called "Jody" that same year.
I remember watching this live in 1982 and fell in love with Shalamar ❤❤❤❤

Jody is just PHYNE!!!! I always thought her voice gave the group their sound.
Howard was the man tho.
@@themooneytwinsHear what you saying love Howard you need both to be shalamar.
This is 2023 the music still sounds beautiful to listen to,,my best band in all the time
They made MAGIC when they sung together

Man, what i would give to be back in the 80's, didnt realise it at the time, of course.
I did realize it and what a ride!!!
Her voice is so clear and beautiful
Yesssss!!!! Happy 40th anniversary.... Thanks for showing us live view...y'all guys stronger than ever...❤❤❤❤❤💯💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Awesomeness💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️
Jodys vocal tones are on point. You go GurL ♥️♥️♥️♥️
I remember watching them live on a FRIDAY NIGHT - brilliant performance
Nothing matces performances like this today's music hasn't got a patch on this
Was looking for a real live footage of that group and here it is!
One of the few quality Shalamar live performance tapes. Great music, dancing, and stage presence. Jody Watley and Howard Hewitt were so talented.
It funny cool seeing Howard dancing... he's said he nots a dancer and he seems way too chill to dance 😅#shalamsrrules
yo bruh you are on point but come on you can't front on jeffrey daniels !
I invoke Howard’s energy every ongoing. Greatest inspiration back home midwest
This was fabulous. I certainly enjoyed this. My favorite group. Howard is so cute. Jeffrey fine. Jody beautiful.
Saw this set at Rock City Nottingham in ‘82. Loved it then, love it now!
what a great historical record of an amazing band!! What amazing live vocalists and entertainers
My favourite Shalamar song!! 🕺🏿
man this was a real treat
Jody"s vocals are right there on top.
It’s still getting played at my Besties 60th next week 🎹🎼.. We love a bit of Jaz Funk
10 stars out of 5 !!
Mindblowingly outstanding stellar performance from Messrs Hewitt,Whatley and Daniel ...I'm in thrall to them !!
Always remember ..NO auto tune!!
Genuine talent on display.
i liked watching the folks in the crowd gettin down you can feel the vibe
@@johndupont8628 Ummm..... I don't know about that, but they were very attentive.
@@sharoneasley9717 Excellent comment
Sensational!.
It was a fabulous time to be growing up!.

Totally agree, one reason I dont like very many live concerts.
Total-Class-Act! Sing, Dance, Look Good!! Go a long way xx
39 years after this show and the vocals are timeless!
Saw shalamar at frontier club in batley 1982 , they were simply stunning , always been a fan of theirs ,
They sound good live! Jody, Jeffrey, Howard love you guys!

Leon silvers is a funky bass player absolute monster of a bass line 🙂
The best 😍…and the ”beats” goes on and on and on 🕺
That was borrowed from Bernard Edwards from Chic along with the guitar riff Nile Rodgers style. Still good though ...

Real music .. real voices great band great rhythm. .. uplifting..👍
Yeah! And also .... Dancing and singing at the same time - not easy-peasy!! So much to concentrate on!
Shalimar - sign of the good-times!
xx
There it is what took RUclips and comments so long
Love Jody❤🎉🎶
Disco performed live....FANTASTICO!!! The musicians are concentrating, especially the drummer ; you can see it on their faces...tempo is vital.
It is a shame that the group do not get along anymore they were so talented together no one can replace jody watley no matter who they get. 13:58
I miss those days. Def one of the greatest groups ever (w/Jody Wately).

Yes 😊
Great find. This album (cassette) had a deep bench.
Music like this will never be the same 😭
Superb. Actual live too.
shalamar takes me back to driving around LA listening to KDAY.... LA chic!! ;) good times!
Shalamar je les aime depuis 40 ans ♥️♥️Un trio inégalable et inégalé !!!🏆🏆L’harmonie de leurs voix et leur mélodies nous ont fait chavirer à chaque sortie de leurs albums et surtout Friends dont j’ai usé les sillons tellement je l’ai écouté et réécouté ♥️Jodie , Howard et Jeffrey , I love You for ever ♥️♥️
Shalamar 80's were the best ♥️🥰
The original hit makers. Good to see them together.
Jody Watley, what a peach. Thanks for posting this, remember seeing this on The Tube, pure awsomeness

Beautiful voices! Simply awesome and true!
I was 14yrs shalamar❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Absolutely stunning, cant stop playing this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Almost 40 years ago...mad lol
this is just amazing
Brilliant band Shalamar, tight always on the groove and sound just as good live as on record
I remember this like it was yesterday. So much talent in one band. Criminal.
The bit where Jools Holland proclaims the amount of private jets and limousines it took to get them to Newcastle is missed off the front end of the introduction. Hilarious.
You just don’t see such bands that often nowadays, which is a shame.
legends 👑 1#holy spirit 🔥
This performance would be easy to achieve today with all the autotune trickery but achieve this level in 1984! What a groove, bass, drums and joyous vocals… pure talent!
This was 1982 by 1984 it was a different , Ms Jody and Jeffrey Daniels was gone
True
This was in 1982.
The next year in 1983 before
“The Look” album was released,
Jeffrey and Jody left the group.
Wow thanks for this. Never seen anything like it before. With jools show it’s strictly live performance only and they nailed it! 🎉
Excellent R&B!
Thanks 4 posting the full concert!
.thanks Yes
Wow Shalamar are amazing love there songs ❤
I appreciate a lot👏👏👏
Love it!!!! Howard is still fine AF in 2020 😍😍😍
This is probably Friday 10th December 1982, since they were on Top of the Pops the day before. That would have been show number 6 of The Tube since it started on 5th November and was a weekly show.
Great performance, I remember watching this in 1983, I think it was part of the “midsummer nights tube” show
Howard Hewitt was fine specimen, sings divine, looking back now as a 50 yr old, child then.
That live performance was great
Fantastic - thanks for sharing.
a great performance
I remember seeing this when first broadcast....I was mesmerised by their performance....brilliant............only other performance that sticks in my mind was Wet Wet Wet on The Tube
I was 17 then I dug Shalamar and "A Night To Remember "
Jeffery "Pop Along Kid" Daniel was cool as fuck too. Great Popper. Thanks for this post. ✌🏼
So beautiful! Young and free 💙
So many good memories of the eighties 1982 ,Shalamar is awesome and The Late Great Mr Jermaine Stewart rip we miss you so much.
This I what I've been looking for! Amazing vibes! All great talent! Love them all! They sound great live! Thanks for posting this!
brilliant. how Mant bands can can sing powerful like this live

RIP beautiful Jeremine Stewart.

This kind of music WAS uplifting and brought EVERYONE together... the younger generation needs to lighten up and get on with ALL generations AND colours... come on guys... give it a try!!! It doesn’t hurt 🤔
Exactly. Even the so called positive songs of today...they lack love, feeling and emotion.
I totally agree mate live for the weekend drink dance and girls no black & white thing dance floor’s always full kabob on the way home
Sorry kebab
They were really big in the UK, defined my teens in the 80s, . I was jealous of my older siblings being able to go to nightclubs to boogie to Shalamar as I was only 12😊
I couldn't have put it better
love jody watley's voice
Howard was the hottest thing on earth and his voice is amazing!!!
Amo esta banda. Amo esa chica. Son increibles. La musica disco nunca morira
Superr this is one of my fav group and my fav singer howard hewett and also jody watley and jeffrey daniels with his dancing,nice vocals
Thanks for your posting🙏. I can see Jermaine " You Don't Have to Take Your Clothes Off" Stewart on BG Vocals.
que bonitas epocas,,,, la gente VIVIA,,,,,,ahora sobrevive
Damn that groove is mighty fine
Made people so happy !! ❤🎉
AND IT WAS REALLY LIVE!!
Amazing. Being from Newcastle and living only a mile away from the Tyne Tees studio,I was always gutted air missed these guys.
‘I missed these guys’.
Back in the day I was in a New Wave band, but when I went clubbing this band was who I used to love dancing to.
Love it, love it, love it! Jody... gorgeous!
Shalamar are just awesome thanx 4this gr8 songs 💯👋🎶🎸🇬🇧👀😁
