well deserved
Queen of Clubs Yesss 💎💎💎
Ms. Watley was honored for her influence in Pop Crossover R&B, her groundbreaking trendsetting influential style along with her talent as a hit-making songwriter artist. She’s had hits in the dance charts as well over the decades including recent but she’s far from just a Queen of Clubs and the Crossover Music Icon is what she is! ~ Ms. Watley’s Team
❤❤❤❤❤
Yeahhhhh !!!!!! 🙂

WHERE IS SHALAMAR ? NO MENTIONED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why would Ms. Watley’s former group from decades ago be mentioned when she was being HONORED & CELEBRATED for her SOLO career, hits, impact and influence?!
All of her SOLO achievements have nothing to do with Shalamar.
Once she won BEST NEW ARTIST GRAMMY, she solidified herself SOLO as JODY WATLEY, Legend and she wasn’t even their lead singer. she’s one of one and yes CROSSOVER MUSIC ICON still going strong! Longstanding. Everlasting on her own terms, singer, songwriter, producer, owner, inspirational figure, authentic inspiration to many since her departure as a backup singer/dancer decades ago. All Hail! 👑

this was about Jody and her SOLO career
JODY IS INDEED A GREAT SINGER BUT SHE IS NOT SUCH A DIVA.......SHALAMAR CAREER; SHORTTIME PERIOD BEHIND HOWARD HEWEET
No Ms. Watley was not honored as a diva, she was honored as a CROSSOVER MUSIC ICON!! TRIGGER ALERT!
Her time during the pinnacle recording years for her former group Shalamar is undeniable however her ONGOING nearly 40 years and counting SOLO career is where she continues to shine with JODY WATLEY HISTORY one of the Top Hot 100 Female Artists, Top 25 Dance Artists OF ALL TIME due to her SOLO chart history

Ms. Watley has so many hits spanning decades, owns her music and works for herself. Trying to come for her and minimize her ongoing trajectory is useless.
You’re not a fan and that’s fine but go troll-play somewhere else. By the way neither Howard Hewett or Jeffrey Daniels have any gold, platinums, Top 10s, Crossovers, Ad campaigns, solo awards, nominations or their own radio show. They don’t even own the name Shalamar and can’t work without Griffeys.

Ms. Watley has features in esteemed publications such as VOGUE, VOGUE ITALIA, Harper’s Bazaar, Rolling Stone, Essence and countless other publications..she was even in the cover of the black music bible JET! Other than a mention for a drug trafficking charge was Howard Hewett ever on cover of JET at least? Same for Jeffrey Daniels other than a photo of the week when he married R&B Broadway’s star Stephanie Mills? Ms. Watley CROSSOVER MUSIC ICON million selling fitness video, a Japanese television commercial, we will wait for any receipt’s knowing they can never be produced. Ms. Watley IS an Icon and Legend as a SOLO Artist. She even has her own monthly radio show on SIRIUS XM. We get tired of the slander and disrespect from you Shalamar people. - Ms. Watley’s Team
