Jody Watley began her singing career with the R&B group Shalamar in the late ’70s. After exiting the group in 1983, Jody ventured out by providing guest vocals on a string of hits before starting a successful solo career. As a solo artist, she has racked up fourteen Top 100 hits, seven Top 10 hits, and seven #1 Dance Club hits, according to the US Billboard charts. She has also released nine full-length studio albums, and two remix albums.
Recently, Jody obtained the rights to the “Shalamar” name, and she currently sings and performs with a fresher new band known simply as SLR (originally Shalamar Reloaded), featuring new members Nate Allen Smith and Rosero McCoy. They are currently in the studio recording a full-length album, and I’m really excited about this project. If you’re interested in hearing them together, check out their first three releases: “SlowDance,” “O.R.I.G.In.A.L.,” and “The Mood.” Jody still does her solo artist touring and recording as well.
I saw Jody in concert with SRL in February of 2016. She was part of the Freestyle Explosion concert in Orlando, Florida. She was definitely one of the highlights of the show. I have been a fan of hers for decades, and this was my first time getting a chance to see her in person. She did not disappoint. She was amazing!
