They don’t have no beef brotha. What beef could exist when Shalamar has had many members come and go. Jody is doing great solo, good for her (I’m a fan of hers too) Shalamar is recently times brings in brotha Micki Free on some gigs, mainly it’s Howard, JD with Carolyn Griffey (her father owned their old label called Solar). She been rocking with them they say for over 20 years now, that’s her father’s wish for his daughter to be the only female to ever be in there, the brothas love Carolyn, no beefs anywhere from what I can see they all doing their thing ✊🏿 Their tour in Usa will be Howard, JD, Micki with Carolyn
@@InglewoodsFinest71 there was a notorious beef for years/decades. Howard apologized via video a few years ago but I don’t know if Jody even responded.
Jody, Jeffrey and Howard did reunite in 1996 for a remake of their classic For The Lover in You with Babyface and LL Cool J which hit # 2 on the R&B Charts and # 10 on the Pop Charts. They filmed a video and performed on the UK show Top of the Pops. Babyface wanted to record and produce a Shalamar reunion album but it didn't happen due to Howard wanting to get paid more than Jody and Jeffrey. Jody, Jeffrey and Howard also recorded a song for Jody's Flower album but the head of Atlantic Records, Jody's label at the time didn't like how Howard sounded so she was forced to re-record the song solo and instead of Howard telling the truth he continued to bash Jody and lies about her. Jody also tried to reunite with Jeffrey and Howard in 2013 for the Essence Music Fest but was told that Jeffrey and Howard had to get permission from Carolyn Griffey (Dick Griffey's daughter) for them to perform and she had to sing background. Jody decided to perform with Shalamar's original lead singer Gerald Brown who had left the group in 1980 due to contract and financial disutes with Dick and Solar Records. Jody also tried to do a reunion in 2014 when the BET Awards asked her to perform some of her solo hits and do some songs with Jeffrey and Howard and it almost happend until Howard and his manager tried to get BET to go with his vision and ideas though Jody was originally asked to close the show with her solo classics. Jody also got legal ownership of the Shalamar trademark and formed her own group Shalamar Reloaded /S.R.L. due to Howard, Carolyn and Jeffrey using old photos to promote their concerts with Carolyn's name under Jody's photo. Jody tried to make it happen many times but she got tired of their nonsense and I don't blame her.
@@ohheybih Jody did respond on her blog. She even wrote about the times when she did tried to reunite with Jeffrey and Howard but it didn't happen due to scheduling conflicts and Howard and his team's ego
This was April 2023 not old school and a lot of artists use dancers including Usher, New Edition, both to name 2,put on a heck of a show. New Edition Legacy Tour was off the chain dancers and all ✊🏿
I DON'T MEAN ANY HARM BUT THIS SOUNDS LIKE I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO MAKE OF THIS VOCALS SUCK FOR REAL. I KNOW JODY WHATLEY AND JEFFREY DANIELS CRACKING UP ON THIS.
@@TheBbtlegit Shalamar performance was in Usa Las Vegas April 2023 billed as a Shalamar Reunion Brotha Micki Free promoted it so did the Shalamar fan page on Facebook Jody since forever has nothing to do with them performing in states or anywhere Miss Jody been a solo I saw Shalamar with Jeffrey, Howard, Carolyn in the Bay Area before pandemic
I’m a Shalamar fan, they calling it a reunion which it’s not,that Shalamar sound not there even with Howard, I will just remember the original group members and just keep listening to my cd’s they sound much better. 😎
Jodi would not go into detail but she does not want to even be in the same room with Howard…I suspect something bad happened between them two or maybe he tried to do something to her back then…whatever it was it’s bad enough for her to NEVER want to work with him ever again
This isn’t the truth fam did you know she invited bros Howard & Jeffrey to sing a song on one of her albums back on the 90s? She’s talked about it, there’s photos on her website and pictures where her and brotha Howard crossed paths. JD lives in Nigeria. People just took the fake story and be running with it lol. I’m a Shalamar and Jody fan. ✊🏿 Google Jody Watley ‘Open Letter’ you’ll see whats up.
@@InglewoodsFinest71 well….it’s on record…when she did the show unsung she specifically said she didn’t want to be in the same room with him, so maybe they’ve reconciled since that timeframe but she definitely said it….
You can’t even get her name right fam, so I can’t even ttake You seriously. She never said that brotha and if that’s the case why she invite them to record a song on her 98 album Flowers? They all look cool to me fam but if you want to go by a tv edit instead of what Miss Jody said knock yourself out brotha ✌🏿Personally I’m going to go by what she said even about Unsung, the emails and photos to back it up jodywatley.net/2016/09/09/jody-watley-speaks-out-an-open-letter-to-those-it-may-concern/
Lol that don’t make sense. Jody Watley been moved on from Shalamar multiple decades ago she got her own thing legend in her own right. Shalamar moved on too fam
As a fan of Shalamar it saddens me to know it came down to this, Howard vocals are really bad here and no Jody and Jeffrey? What a way to misrepresent a legendary group...
Everyone like money lol, but not every singer is constantly on the road every day imo it’s bound to take a toll just my opinion to the other commenter ✌🏿
Howard is currently on tour with JD overseas along with Carolyn Griffey. Search more Shalamar videos, there’s a bunch fam. Micki & Howard was in Shalamar (Dancing In The Sheets, My Girl Loves Me, Amnesia) Jody Watley is a solo artist for decades now so we knew she wouldn’t be there but expected JD, he missed his flight from Nigeria for this one.
I recall the Deele Re-Union singing “On Two Occasion.” This doesn’t compare at all. We need the original members. Whatever it is we are only humans, and they need to bury the hatchet. Their years together were the best years in music. Today’s music is so cheap and filthy with no real players of instruments….profane-laden noise. It’s July 4th, ‘23 this morning and I’m enjoying the SOS Band “The Finest,” and reminiscing Unlimited Touch “Searching to Find the One.” The style and substance…..you just feel the purity in the party air as one dances the night away.
They don’t have no hatchet to bury fam lol they all doing what they want‼️ I must have missed the L A Ried, Baby face Reunion Tour 🤷🏿♂️ Iooked it up on TH-cam Google and can’t find it fam 🤷🏿♂️
I love Shalamar regardless of the lineup. Howard Hewitt was always doing most of the singing anyway with Jefferey and Jodi backup singing and dancing. Howard still sounds good but not as many high notes as in days gone by. I think Jodi and Jeffery have their own ventures now so best wishes to them. Let Micki, Carolyn and Howard do their thing. Even the Temptations have only one original member left. Most groups go through a change up sometimes and keep it pushing. Some even have more than one group with the same name and still perform. Rock on Shalamar.
Jody Watley went solo in 1987 fam she been gone from Shalamar sincd 1983 won Best New Artist 1988 stormed the scene with ‘Looking For A New Love’ along with a bunch of other hits she still doing her thing, her channel is th-cam.com/users/jodywatley Brotha Howard is on tour right now with JD and Carolyn over in London, they have been Shalamar for 20 years lol where you been at Sis? There’s a bunch of Shalamar videos on youtube. You right most R&B groups change members all the time Shalamar is no different. I dug Howard, Micki and Delisa (Dancin In Tha Sheets, My Girl Loves Me) new wave rock then the Shalamar after that that had ‘Games’
I support Shalamar, I was at this show they should not have promoted a reunion though imo. I also support Miss Jody she’s great live, I dig her music too the old and new stuff. Win win for all of them ✊🏿
Jody sang lead on many of their hits along with Howard and Gerald. She and Gerald Brown (who left the group due to contract and finacial disputes with DickGriffey) shared lead vocals on Take That To The Bank and she sang lead on Right In The Socket. She and Howard also sang lead on Night To Remember and She sang the hook on Make That Move while Jeffrey and Howard shared lead vocals on that song. Jody's voice and tone stood out on those classic records. Jody runs her own record label and is still releasing music and she hosts her own radio show. Jeffrey still performs with Howard and Carolyn Griffrey over in Europe. He also was a judge on an Nigerian Idol show. Mikki Free who replaced Jeffrey is a Rock Singer and Guitarist who performs around the world. Jody's replacement De Lisa Davis is a hair stylist and make up artist and Syndey Justin who replaced Howard sings with The Miracles.
I guess if you're one of the 3 original members you have every right to perform the songs but to say it's a "Shalamar Reunion", it's very cheesy and desperate to cash in... This is wack!
This reunion on Shalamar is when Micki Free, and the lady joined Shalamar after Jody and Jeffrey left the group. This reunion is about them, and not the original Shalamar
Howard I listened to just the first part before commenting but decided to hear the rest your background vocals is like.... Well.. They would be better but again Ill always appreciate you all
The rumors throughout the years was that Howard Hewitt thought he was better than Jody and Jeffrey. If this was true than I can see why they don't want to ever sing with him. You're right there is no Shalamar without Jody and Jeffrey and if I was Howard, I would beg them back because he sounds terrible now. He needs them more than ever and the sooner the better so they can make real reunion money.

Miss Jody worked with Howard and Jeffrey on a song she invited him and JD to do on one of her albums in the 90s, she even posted a photo to back it up on her website. She has acknowledged the lies, fake narratives placed on her. I follow her, support her and Shalamar too even I can see the unwarranted backlashing she gets because she is happy being solo.

Jody Watley been gone from Shalamar since 1983, she’s Solo common knowledge (she has a TH-cam channel also) JD left Shalamar in 1983 returned in 1999. Micki was Jd’s replacement the brotha is still touring with Shalamar they over in the London Uk region now. Micki, joins Howard and Carolyn Griffey a member for over 20 years sometimes.

This Sounds Like a Vegas Lounge Band & Howard For Years Has Been Asking The Fan's To Sing Because He Can't Hit Those Certain Notes Anymore & Sings The Song Out Of Key Not The Key It Was Recorded In..I Love Shalamar But I Think It's Cheapening The Live Version Of The Legacy Of The Original Group... This Is No Shade To Howard But I Rather Listen To The Albums... Thanks Again To The Throwdown Brothers Of Solar Records & Mr. Blueprint Of The Solar Sound Leon Sylvers .✌️💖 & Solar.
Stop playin’! I like Howard Hewett and Mickie Free, but how is this a Shalamar reunion without Jody Watley and Jeffrey Daniels? I wish they would all bury the hatchet and do it right!
It was billed and promoted as a Shalamar Reunion brotha. It was a surprise JD not there they said he missed his flight from Nigeria where he lives. What hatchet? JD, Howard and Carolyn Griffey (member for 20 years) are on tour now overseas in Uk sometimes they include Micki th-cam.com/video/5DI_9gc2f7c/w-d-xo.html
I’m an OG Shalamar fan and Jody’s too. I don’t get the whole bury hatchet thing fam,when they have had many variations members come and go it’s their business model since the beginning. The longest one is Howard, JD with the daughter of their old label Solar records Carolyn they been rocking 20 years. Jody established herself a million years ago solo her business that queen is happy doing her thing end of story just my opinion 🤷🏿♂️ it’s a win for all of them
Jody Watley left Shalamar in 1983, so did Jeffrey Daniels. Their replacements were brotha Micki Free (is not a Girl), Delisa Davis their hit was Dancing In Tha Sheets Carolyn Griffey replaced Delisa around 2001 her father owned the label Shalamar recorded on now she owns their label and Shalamar, apparently he put her in the Shalamar group and in charge of everything because she always wanted to be a singer. Miss Jody is still a legacy solo Icon, I follow her too subscriber to her channel on here
I don’t like this! Mainly because Jody and Jeffrey are missing. Don’t get me wrong, I love Howard. The man has one of the most sweetest voices. However, I take criticism for him to even take this on the road. This lineup is NOT Shalamar. A big disappointment. Howard, just let this mess end. Try to get back the original 3 of ya’ll. Please! Peace.

@@InglewoodsFinest71 - Thanks for the info! Still, I liked the trio of JD, JW and HH the best. Those 3 will ALWAYS be Shalamar to me! Always. Thanks for your comment! Peace.
Whatever went down to cause the beef between the original members must've been huge given how much time has passed, plus the fact that they've been offered some serious cash to reunite. And sadly the clock is ticking on whatever chance there might be of it happening. Diana Ross and Mary Wilson couldn't do a proper Supremes reunion and spent years performing with their own separate versions of the group that nobody really wanted to see. Now Mary is gone so it can never happen
Whatever happened personally behind the scenes with the original members, I hope they'll find it in their hearts to forgive each other before it's too late because, unforgiveness and holding lifelong grudges is damaging spiritually with a relationship with God.
What makes you assume they haven’t?? Lol Shalamar always had different members it’s called Show ‘Business’ for a reason. Seems to be they are all living their best lives ✊🏿 I’m an OG fan and never understand comments like this 🤷🏿♂️
@@InglewoodsFinest71 What makes you so sure they had reconciled their differences? As I remembered, the original members: Howard, Jody and Jeffrey were not on good speaking terms when they've disbanded.
It was promoted and billed by Howard Hewett, Micki Free, Carolyn Griffey as Shalamar, The Reunion it’s not clickbait you can hear the DJ announcement before they came out. I didn’t make it up, drove to Vegas to see it. I was expecting to see JD too but they said he missed his flight from Nigeria where he lives at
Where's Jody and Howard? I love me some Jody ❤️❤️❤️. Idk what exactly happened but I don't Jody is doing a reunion ever with Howard. Wasn't she married to Jeffrey? She have a daughter by him.
Howard is IN the performance, with Micki Free, Carolyn Griffey fam. Lol did you watch it? They said at the show (I was there) JD missed his flight from Nigeria where he lives. They are tour now overseas Uk 🇬🇧 with JD, Howard and Carolyn use “Search” for more Shalamar videos Howard, JD Carolyn they been together 20 years touring mainly overseas ‼️Sometimes they add Micki Free in states. Miss Jody been gone from Shalamar since 1983 public knowledge. Her solo career kicked off in 87 her channel is in her name th-cam.com/users/jodywatley Her and JD was never married and have no kids together. JD was married to Stephanie Mills. He has kids and grandkids. Howard been married many times they all have kid, Howard has grandkids,,/sp does Carolyn, Jody doesn’t but she’s always very private. I’m personally not a brotha that trying to be in peoples personal lives though just music TMZ generation 😕✌🏿
Sorry but a Reunion would be Howard, Jody and Jeffrey. They were Shalamar ❤
Exactly! Wrong title for this video.

REUNION!?!? There is NO REUNION without Miss Jody Watley!
Would someone put a stop to this before they go on the road with this disastrous mess???😮
Thank you, this was some BS
Agree 100%. That performance and rendition of a Shalamar classic was just horrible!!!
In my Riley voice, "Boooooo! Ay, where's the real Shalamar?!" Lol!
😆..yeah I'm with you.
Excuse me!..what Reunion! No disrespect, In order for power of Shalamar to work,you need Wattage!!! Jody Whatley, that is!
I wish they could place the old beef to bed and get to the bag 💰 because a “real” reunion must include Ms. Jodi as far as I’m concerned.
They don’t have no beef brotha. What beef could exist when Shalamar has had many members come and go.

Howard still sounds good?
I guess if you're one of the 3 original members you have every right to perform the songs but to say it's a "Shalamar Reunion", it's very cheesy and desperate to cash in... This is wack!
That’s how they billed it bro 🤷🏿♂️ that’s how the Dj brought them onstage. Brotha Howard had to approve it, it’s his group and Carolyn Griffey’s.
Dang is Ernie Isley in the house...that lead guitar is fire!!!😅 Howard has lost his voice...sad❤
Micki Free is dope‼️🤘🏿
Huh....fire...😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫
This reunion on Shalamar is when Micki Free, and the lady joined Shalamar after Jody and Jeffrey left the group. This reunion is about them, and not the original Shalamar
Howard I listened to just the first part before commenting but decided to hear the rest your background vocals is like.... Well.. They would be better but again Ill always appreciate you all
Where is Jodi Whatley ?
Come on fam Jody Watley been gone from Shalamar 😂
Dayum bro
Miss Jody channel th-cam.com/users/jodywatley
Where is Jeffrey Daniel???
They said he missed his flight from Nigeria. They said look for new American tour. Right now their on tour in London Shalamar.info website
@@InglewoodsFinest71 OK thanks for the info.
The rumors throughout the years was that Howard Hewitt thought he was better than Jody and Jeffrey. If this was true than I can see why they don't want to ever sing with him. You're right there is no Shalamar without Jody and Jeffrey and if I was Howard, I would beg them back because he sounds terrible now. He needs them more than ever and the sooner the better so they can make real reunion money.
Shalamar with Howard. Jeffrey along with Carolyn Griffey (member of Shalamar since 2001) is currently on tour overseas just use the Search 🔍 feature fam there’s other videos like this th-cam.com/video/TqoM5z0tb0k/w-d-xo.html
Jody Watley went solo decades ago she has a TH-cam channel you can search 🔍 that also fam. JD was supposed to be at this show in Vegas, they said he missed his flight from Nigeria where he lives at, the Free joins them sometimes mainly here stateside.
Thanks
Jody has never budged from not working with Howard again. Quit begging and respect her wishes. Give it rest and just cherish the memories
Miss Jody worked with Howard and Jeffrey on a song she invited him and JD to do on one of her albums in the 90s, she even posted a photo to back it up on her website. She has acknowledged the lies, fake narratives placed on her.
I follow her, support her and Shalamar too even I can see the unwarranted backlashing she gets because she is happy being solo. Her Open letter her words jodywatley.net/2016/09/09/jody-watley-speaks-out-an-open-letter-to-those-it-may-concern/
Interesting.
Somebody has to tell the truth, Howard sounds bad😢, and the lady who's not Jody doesn't sound good either.
Sounds horrible!!! Where is Jody Whatley and Jeffrey Daniel?
Jody Watley been gone from Shalamar since 1983, she’s Solo common knowledge (she has a TH-cam channel also) JD left Shalamar in 1983 returned in 1999. Micki was Jd’s replacement the brotha is still touring with Shalamar they over in the London Uk region now. Micki, joins Howard and Carolyn Griffey a member for over 20 years sometimes. JD missed his flight from
Nigeria where he lives they said
This Sounds Like a Vegas Lounge Band & Howard For Years Has Been Asking The Fan's To Sing Because He Can't Hit Those Certain Notes Anymore & Sings The Song Out Of Key Not The Key It Was Recorded In..I Love Shalamar But I Think It's Cheapening The Live Version Of The Legacy Of The Original Group... This Is No Shade To Howard But I Rather Listen To The Albums... Thanks Again To The Throwdown Brothers Of Solar Records & Mr. Blueprint Of The Solar Sound Leon Sylvers .✌️💖 & Solar.
Still listening in 2023❤❤❤
No Jody, no Shalamr
✊🏽
👌🏽
Go ahead backup singers....sounds good❤
There are no back up singers lol that’s Shalamar Caroln Griffey , Micki Free
This is Howard Hewett and company not Shalamar at all.
Stop playin’! I like Howard Hewett and Mickie Free, but how is this a Shalamar reunion without Jody Watley and Jeffrey Daniels? I wish they would all bury the hatchet and do it right!
It was billed and promoted as a Shalamar Reunion brotha. It was a surprise JD not there they said he missed his flight from Nigeria where he lives. What hatchet? JD, Howard and Carolyn Griffey (member for 20 years) are on tour now overseas in Uk sometimes they include Micki th-cam.com/video/5DI_9gc2f7c/w-d-xo.html
I’m an OG Shalamar fan and Jody’s too. I don’t get the whole bury hatchet thing fam,when they have had many variations members come and go it’s their business model since the beginning. The longest one is Howard, JD with the daughter of their old label Solar records Carolyn they been rocking 20 years.
Jody established herself a million years ago solo her business that queen is happy doing her thing end of story just my opinion 🤷🏿♂️ it’s a win for all of them
If they would told the truth people probably would never come out, so they took it for granted that jodie wiley was gonna be there
Is this the original girl who replaced Jody Watley ?
Jody Watley left Shalamar in 1983, so did Jeffrey Daniels. Their replacements were brotha Micki Free (is not a Girl), Delisa Davis their hit was Dancing In Tha Sheets
Carolyn Griffey replaced Delisa around 2001 her father owned the label Shalamar recorded on now she owns their label and Shalamar, apparently he put her in the Shalamar group and in charge of everything because she always wanted to be a singer. Miss Jody is still a legacy solo Icon, I follow her too subscriber to her channel on here
Howard sounds amazing. Thank you!
What? Is this the record "For the lover in you"?
Yea brotha it is
Carolyn Griffey is still holding it down!!! That body is art... she been doing this for 20 years+!
Excellent!
Reunion..? 🤔
That’s how it was promoted
@@InglewoodsFinest71 well I sure hope they got their money back..😏
Yall trying to trick me I thought the time had come
I was there drove down after seeing it on their fan page Shalamarfriends on Facebook that’s how it was promoted
This is a Shalamar tribute act.. No thank you.
Daniels and Watley ? No reunion here???¿
That’s how Howard and Micki billed it fam. I was there
Howard didn’t take care of his voice. I wonder if he smokes.
This was terrible....
It's not a reunion without Jody
No Judy. No Shalimar....Howard voice is gone...bless his heart ♥
Love the song but honestly it sounds like crap…
Hey, Howard and Jeffrey gotta eat too. Looks like Howard spent all his money on cocaine
...reunion? ...where the hell is Jeffrey Daniels and Jody Watley?
Not even close to the real
That is not shalamar
What a difference a studio makes. This sounds awful, not everyone can perform live
Mikki who
Micki Free!🔥🔥🔥
Appreciate the effort.. but it's poor looking with the true line up..
ONLY ONE "TRUE" Shalamar reunion
She definitely ain’t no Jody Watley
What a jip No Jody or the pop a long kid :: Howard is scandalous:: ( you are not Shalamar ----- Rotten just Rotten stand on your own name.....
NOOOOO WAY 😢
THIS IS NOT
They were put together by Don Cornelius..
Not this version of them tho fam
You'reought to be ashamed For doing that to the people
i cant get Jiggy with this crap...
This is not shalamar
I don’t like this! Mainly because Jody and Jeffrey are missing. Don’t get me wrong, I love Howard. The man has one of the most sweetest voices. However, I take criticism for him to even take this on the road. This lineup is NOT Shalamar. A big disappointment. Howard, just let this mess end. Try to get back the original 3 of ya’ll. Please! Peace.
Shalamar with Howard. Jeffrey along with Carolyn Griffey (member of Shalamar since 2001) is currently on tour overseas just use the Search 🔍 feature fam there’s other videos like this th-cam.com/video/TqoM5z0tb0k/w-d-xo.html
Jody Watley went solo decades ago she has a TH-cam channel you can search 🔍 that also fam. JD was supposed to be at this show in Vegas, they said he missed his flight from Nigeria where he lives at.
@@InglewoodsFinest71 - Thanks for the info! Still, I liked the trio of JD, JW and HH the best. Those 3 will ALWAYS be Shalamar to me! Always. Thanks for your comment! Peace.
Not good at all
Who? Naaah…nope….cant fake the funk yall…
No Jody, no Shalamar OERIODT
Great seeing Howard Hewett and Micki Free perform with eachother again.
Not feeling this…the harmonies are not tight
Whatever went down to cause the beef between the original members must've been huge given how much time has passed, plus the fact that they've been offered some serious cash to reunite. And sadly the clock is ticking on whatever chance there might be of it happening. Diana Ross and Mary Wilson couldn't do a proper Supremes reunion and spent years performing with their own separate versions of the group that nobody really wanted to see. Now Mary is gone so it can never happen
Bro they don’t have no beef lol groups change members all the time Shalamar always had different members from day 1. 🤦🏽♂️
Whatever happened personally behind the scenes with the original members, I hope they'll find it in their hearts to forgive each other before it's too late because, unforgiveness and holding lifelong grudges is damaging spiritually with a relationship with God.
What makes you assume they haven’t?? Lol Shalamar always had different members it’s called Show ‘Business’ for a reason. Seems to be they are all living their best lives ✊🏿 I’m an OG fan and never understand comments like this 🤷🏿♂️
@@InglewoodsFinest71 What makes you so sure they had reconciled their differences? As I remembered, the original members: Howard, Jody and Jeffrey were not on good speaking terms when they've disbanded.
Miss Jody posted about this fake beef stuff on her channel the other day th-cam.com/video/oqPRe738zBM/w-d-xo.html
This TERRIBLE RENDITION COULD’ VE been better. The leader should’ve practiced. Very Good PIPES.
This is NOT the song I clicked on to here. Thumbs down!
Clickbait. This aint Shalamar. This is Howard Hewitt and his backups.
It was promoted and billed by Howard Hewett, Micki Free, Carolyn Griffey as Shalamar, The Reunion it’s not clickbait you can hear the DJ announcement before they came out. I didn’t make it up, drove to Vegas to see it. I was expecting to see JD too but they said he missed his flight from Nigeria where he lives at
No Jody No way
Where's Jody and Howard? I love me some Jody ❤️❤️❤️. Idk what exactly happened but I don't Jody is doing a reunion ever with Howard. Wasn't she married to Jeffrey? She have a daughter by him.
Howard is IN the performance, with Micki Free, Carolyn Griffey fam. Lol did you watch it? They said at the show (I was there) JD missed his flight from Nigeria where he lives. They are tour now overseas Uk 🇬🇧 with JD, Howard and Carolyn use “Search” for more Shalamar videos Howard, JD Carolyn they been together 20 years touring mainly overseas ‼️Sometimes they add Micki Free in states.
Miss Jody been gone from Shalamar since 1983 public knowledge. Her solo career kicked off in 87 her channel is in her name th-cam.com/users/jodywatley
Her and JD was never married and have no kids together. JD was married to Stephanie Mills. He has kids and grandkids. Howard been married many times they all have kid, Howard has grandkids,,/sp does Carolyn, Jody doesn’t but she’s always very private. I’m personally not a brotha that trying to be in peoples personal lives though just music TMZ generation 😕✌🏿
The rock solo at the beginning sucks on this tune. Stop it please and hire decent background singers! Howard sounds great as always though.
Where’s Jody Watley??-:’ That’s not reunion!!!👎🏾👎🏾
