Gold (3CD)

Three CD set. Shalamar broke onto the disco scene in 1977, but 2019 marks the 40th Anniversary of the classic line-up formation of Howard Hewett, Jody Watley and Jeffrey Daniel, who set the UK charts alight throughout the early 80s with hits like 'Dead Giveaway' and 'There It Is.' From their debut disco-fied Motown medley, 'Uptown Festival,' Shalamar became constant hit-makers on both the US R&B charts and the UK pop charts, scoring with the dance-floor classics 'Take That To The Bank,' 'The Second Time Around' and 'Make That Move.' While promoting A Night To Remember' on Top of the Pops in 1982, Jeffrey Daniel introduced UK audiences to the moon walk and started a body popping craze across the country. This collection, features all 24 of Shalamar's US and UK top 40 chart singles, all of which are included here in for the first time in their full-length versions and 12 disco mixes on this 42-track set.
