#Shalamar were produced by #DickGriffey and promoted on #SoulTrain by #DonCornelis, co-owner of #SolarRecords. The female vocalist out front on this song is #JodyWatley who won a #Grammy for "Looking for a New Love" in 1988.

🎧 In the late 70s-1980, I played a club DJ. When new 12"s arrived from the record pool, I looked for the #SolarRecords label—a meteor on fire, zooming through space, leaving a trail of rainbow. Reliably good.
I didn't know then but do now, #DonCornelius and his #SoulTrain producer, #DickGriffey founded the label and helped make/mainstream acts such as #Shalamar and #Lakeside.
"Fantastic Voyage" by #Lakeside (1980).
