Shalamar featuring Jody Watley Comes to Cache Creek Casino
In the show & prove style that fans have admired for over three decades, the Grammy-winning hyphenate
(singer / songwriter / producer / businesswoman / OG fashionista) one of music's enduring artists and style
icons brings a rebooted Shalamar to the stage with maintaing the signature sound. Shalamar was formed in 1977 as a vocal dance trio by Don
Cornelius of the Soul Train television show and Dick Griffey. Shalamar shortly became a top group with soulful disco sounds. Inspired by her retro-futuristic
new album Paradise, with her penchant for current sounds and underground club movements.With classics like "Take That To The Bank", "A Night to Remember", "Second Time Around", sprinkled with Watley's signature tunes
including "Looking For A New Love" "Don't You Want Me", "Friends" along with recent global smash and ode
to good times "Nightlife." Guaranteed to be 100% funky disco party and a true night to
remember.

SHALAMAR with Gerald Brown, Jody Watley and Jeffrey Daniels

| Jeffrey Daniel, Jody Watley, Gerald Brown in 1978
Shalamar became a real group with the addition of Gerald Brown for the 'Shalamar Disco Gardens' album. Mumford
had been primarily a studio singer with the first Shalamar album "Uptown Festival" being recorded by session singers.
Watley and Daniel were brought in by Don Cornelius recognizing his Shalamar concept for Soul Train Records would need charisma and marketable personalities according to archived interviews. Because of the popularity, already recognizable from the Soul Train television show and potential marketability of the dancing duo; Cornelius recalled it made perfect sense. Gerald Brown was taken from the singing group "The Soul Train Gang", the first act signed to Soul Train Records and added to Shalamar. Brown would depart after one album due to a contractual financial dispute, once the label was turned to Solar Records and taken over by Dick Griffey.
