    Shalamar

    Funk

    Shalamar are one of the most successful Soul groups of all time selling 25 million albums worldwide.

    Soul Train producer Dick Griffey had the idea of a Soul Train singing group and drafted in Jeffrey Daniel to start forming the band. Jody Watley and Gary Mumford joined the group and they were named Shalamar.

    At the time Jody had no prior vocal recording experience and The Whispers and Carrie Lucas were brought in to help with background vocals. After Gary Mumford voiced his reluctance to tour and be away from his vocal teaching sessions in the Bay Area, Jeffrey brought in Gerald Brown who was a vocalist in the previous Soul Train singing group. Added to the mix was producer and new maestro of the music scene Leon Sylvers. After the hit song 'Take that to the bank' made the first legitimate waves for Shalamar, Gerald left the group to be replaced by local club singer Howard Hewett again recruited by Jeffrey. The timing was perfect for this new line-up and their next single 'Second Time Around' would be Shalamar's first Platinum selling single.

    Famed in the UK for Jeffrey Daniel’s body-popping Moonwalk on Top of The Pops in 1980 (a world TV exclusive which inspired Michael Jackson to adopt the move and for Daniel to co-choreograph the video’s for Jackson’s “Bad” and “Smooth Criminal” Shalamar had a string of massive worldwide hits through the 80’s.

    These included such guaranteed floor-fillers as 'A Night to Remember', 'There It Is', 'I Can Make You Feel Good', and many others and the group were touring the world filling arenas and stadiums when Jeffrey left the group at its peak to pursue a solo career. Jody Watley followed suit to also pursue a solo career and thus came the end of the original line up of the most revered R&B group since The Jacksons. 

    Shalamar are back with Howard Hewett, Jeffrey Daniel and Carolyn Griffey to perform all the hits and more with the backing of their full band.

More hits followed on both sides of the Atlantic with “Magic Touch”, “Slow Down” and “Watching You ( Watching Me )”.
     
    In 1990 two of the original members, Jane Eugene and Steve Nichol, left the band and were replaced with Linda Carriere and Sunay Suleyman, who joined founding member Carl McIntosh, and who have now brought Loose Ends back to overwhelming demand.

    With a career that has spanned decades and genres, Trevor Nelson holds an irrefutable cornerstone in UK music history. From his very beginnings on London pirate radio nurturing what would become Kiss FM, through to his work on The Soul Show and his prime-time BBC Radio 1 / R1 Extra weekend stints, Trevor has introduced listeners across the nation to cutting-edge sounds from the worlds of Soul, R&B, Reggae and beyond.

    Immediately identifiable as a much-loved presenting personality too, Trevor joined the ranks of MTV in 1998 to host their flagship R&B show ‘The Lick’ for 11 years on MTV Base (which remains the channel’s longest running show to date), whilst also being granted the honour of hosting the first ever MTV Africa Awards from Abuja in Nigeria.

    A hugely successful DJ both in the studio and behind the decks, Trevor has released a number of hit compilation albums including: INCredible Sound of Trevor Nelson, The Soul Nation, several “Lick” compilations, The Trevor Nelson Collection, and most recently his Trevor Nelson Club Classics.

    In recognition of his years of dedicated service to the music he has committed his life to, Trevor has won numerous plaudits throughout his career including 4 MOBOS, the Special Gold Lifetime Achievement award for his services to broadcasting at the 2010 Sony Radio Academy Awards, and even an MBE for his work with the millennium volunteers.
