Shalamar
Big Fun

1979 Original. “With Its Third Album, Big Fun, Shalamar Unveiled Its Best-Known And Most Successful Lineup. Jody Watley And Jeffrey Daniels Were Still On Board, But Gerald Brown Had Been Replaced By The Charismatic Howard Hewett. Both Creatively And Commercially, This Album Would Take Shalamar To New Heights And Establish The Trio As One Of The Best Soul-Pop Units Of 1979-1983. The Single That Made Hewett Famous And Really Sent Shalamar Into Orbit Was "Second Time Around," But The Classic Hewett/Watley/Daniels Lineup Also Excels On Everything From The Insistent "Right In The Socket" To The Playfully Funky "Take Me To The River" (Not The 1974 Al Green Classic) And The Smooth, Philadelphia Soul-Type Ballad "Let's Find The Time For Love." Definitely One Of Shalamar's Essential Releases.” – Alex Henderson, AMG
