Fun Fact about this group Shalamar: the third guy seen on the album cover on the screen during this video is Jeffrey Daniel. He is the guy that showed Michael Jackson how to do the Moon Walk. Jeffrey did not invent the Moon Walk. But, Jeffrey bought it back to style in the 80s. The Moon Walk was invented in the 1930s.

Shalamar was the jam back in the day!!

This is a fun song. Shalamar always made hits. My favorite in the group though is Jody Watley. You should check out some of her songs like "Don't you want me" and "Looking for a new love". Thank you for another great reaction.

The majority of Shalamar's songs were written by their labelmates, Dynasty and Lakeside. The production is from Leon Sylvers, who also played bass, and was a founding member of Dynasty. Leon produced most of The Whispers hits from 1980 to 1984. Of course, he was part of the group The Sylvers, but he left when Dick Griffey offered him a key production role for SOLAR Records, to which all of these artists belong. SOLAR is an acronym for, Sound Of Los Angeles Records.

One of the best tracks of the 80s, full stop. Other essential Shalamar: "There It Is", "Take That to the Bank", "The Second Time Around". FYI: The great Leon Sylvers III was their producer in the late 70s & early 80s. He also played bass on those albums.

Yessss!!! This is my all time favorite by Shalamar!!! Missing the 80's!!! 💯❤🔥

Lol the mighty Jack you're voice is mad deep. Still holding it down since the bone thugs days, keep going. ✊

10 out of 10, is epic

Jody was here, Honolulu, and sang this during her show. Played coy that she didn’t know the 2nd verse. If you know, then you know the read there

Told you old school R&B is best!!

They were the "First" Reality Group to come out of Music. They were discovered on Soul Train as Dancers. Don Cornelius decided to create his own Record Label called SOLAR (Sound Of Los Angeles Records), and Shalamar was born. Jeffrey Daniels quit and was replaced by Jermaine Stewart who also danced on American Bandstand. He left for a Solo Career and worked with Mikey Craig on Culture Club who discvoered him who sang Backup on Miss Me Blind by Culture Club. He had his own hits like The Word Is Out, and "We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off" that was also covered by The UK Girlband Clea (Chloe Lynsey Emma Aimee) who didn't make Girls Aloud. It was also voted by Glamour Magazine along with "Let's Wait Awhile" by Janet Jackson as one of the best songs to promote Safe Sex in the 1980's. Sadly Jermaine died of AIDS. Jody is a Solo Artist but I don't know what happened to Jeffrey Daniels or Howard Hewitt. Jody along with Banarama were the only Females who sang "Do They Know It's Xmas" as part of Band Aid as well. In later years a UK Pop Star named Kavanaugh aka "Kav" also covered this song as well. In the UK it's a common practice for UK Boyband/Girlband Solo Stars to cover obscure R & B Hits. For The Songwriters who still own the songs if they are lucky enough make "Bank".

Howard hewett really took it to the top when he went solo and daaamnn did he fly very high with his hits... no doubt👍👏👏

Shalamar - I can make you feel good, This is for the lover in you Howard Hewett (Lead singer of Shamalar) - Show Me, I'm for real.

Love Shalamar! Dancing in the Sheets, The Second Time Around and Make that Move are also great danceable songs by them. You should also check out their solo stuff like I’m for Real and Say Amen by Howard Hewett or Friends and Real Love by Jody Watley.

Jeffrey Daniels Did an freestyle dance to this song on TOTP 1983 i think, he did the moonwalk before michael jackson

Jeffrey Daniels introduced the moonwalk to this song💯

Hi Make that move , there it is , friends , take that to the bank are some more upbeat Shalamar songs to check out.

i lived through this era of music young bro! these were pimpness music back in the day

Jack you must check out Somewhere there's a love just for me. By Shalamar!! The vocals will definitely knock you out your chair. Trust!!

Shalamar eventually disbanded and went solo. I would highly recommend you check out Howrd Hewitt's song Once, Twice, Three Times. Talk about true grown folk next level music. You won't be sorry.

Omg! A MILLION THANK YOUS FOR THIS REACTION!!🥰 It's been a minute since I remembered I asked for this request after you watched their other video months ago. There was an actual video to this song. The guy with the Afro is Jeffrey Daniels, who did the Moonwalk as a Soul Train dancer. Michael Jackson saw it...called him and asked him to come teach him how to do it. He asked Daniels if he could use it as a signature move that he wanted to debut on the Motown 25 show. ....And the rest is history. I love this jam. Get into it, yes!!

My childhood lol yes. Been to a number of weddings where this was played as the walkout song for the wedding party at the reception.

This is another picnic playlist must have!

Yes, a classic. I remember this from my roller disco days, lol.

The Second Time Around is another great song from them , as is Show Me by lead singer Howard Hewett. The first " moonwwalker" Jeffrey Daniel is rocking the fro, aka The Popalong Kid. Also listen to Somewhere theres a love for me.

This is my jam!!💥💥💥

Classic🔥📈

My other favorites by them, which were also big hits here in the States, was ?Make That Move", "The Second Time Around", and "Right In The Socket".

I also love Howard Hewett’s gorgeous vocals!!!❤

Jody Watley's solos are amazing as well. Try out Don't you want me.

This is one of my go to songs when I'm in an 80s vibe! And Mase sampled this song back in 99! It's called Get ready Black Street is singing the chores to it

Happy to see you're back doing reactions 🤗❣️❣️

A classic jam! 👏

Shalamar has a great groove !!!

Shalimar is one of my favorites. Heres a few that you should react to: Make that move Take that to the bank Dead giveaway Dancin' in the sheets

A nice blast from the past. I think you'll like Jodi Watley "Looking For A New Love".

Nice wedding dance and reception song.

Jack, I clicked so fast! I love Shalamar, brings back so many good memories 😊. Please react to Second Time Around and their slept on ballad Somewhere There’s A Love 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Seen them live once, and the lead singer Howard Hewitt live 20 year after as a solo act and he was amazing!

You're such an old soul, too bad you didn't come along during my time, which was when this song came out. I was a teen at the time.

Love your cute reaction! This band always reminded me of Debarge.

I loved today's video can't wait for the next one 👊🤘👍✌😀

This song was played when my husband and I entered our wedding reception.

OMGGG! So weird! I subscribed yesterday, cause I just loved your janet jackson reactions, and then I was looking for "a night to remember" reaction but couldn't find it. Was about to write you a message so you could react to it.....! Made my day :D Oh, and could you please react to the video where Jeffrey Daniel from Shalamar dance on "Top of the pops" to this song? He went to perform alone in the UK, and did the "backslide" later known as the moonwalk! MJ was very inspired by Jeffrey, they also worked together. Anyway, this performance went viral at that time, he had to come back to the show to perform again. Watch it, a classic!!!

Fun fact:the guy with the afro (Jeffrey daniels) taught Michael the moonwalk

"I Can Make You Feel Good", please. To be fair, the lyrics often aren't that much in dance songs like this. Party, having a good time, and hitting the right girl or guy to make the world a perfect place, mostly. I think this is structurally a pop song in dance guise. Both listenable and danceable. :)

Hiya Jack...you really need to react to more Shalamar tunes...they are awesome!!! Hopefully going to see them next year with Heatwave 🎼🎶🎵😎👌
