Roy Ayers info


Roy Edward Ayers Jr. was born in Los Angeles in 1940.
He was brought up in a musical household and at 17 years
of age his parents presented him with a set of vibes.
The rest, as they say, is history.

The 60s were his training ground in jazz, hooking up with
legendary producer Leonard Feather. It was during this
time he made his debut LP "West Coast Vibes".

The 1970s found Roy embarking upon a long and fruitful
relationship with Polydor Records, where Roy began to
incorporate "wah wah" and "fuzz" tones on his vibes.
It was during this period he formed the group Ubiquity.

For the next ten years, Roy Ayers produced what many
regard as some of his finest works. Perhaps the most
well-known work to come out of this period was
"Everybody Loves the Sunshine".

Roy Ayers has continued to write, produce and
collaborate with many major artists, and is
currently one of the most sampled artists
in the music industry.

40 years in the music industry for Roy Ayers!
He is, without question, a legend in his own time.

Shalamar

Shalamar began as a thrown-together producer's group and wound up one of the most popular and exciting vocal groups of the late 70s and early 80s. When Soul Train host Don Cornelius and show A&R man Dick Griffey decided to create Soul Train Records - later called Sound of Los Angeles Records (or SOLAR, for short) - they debuted with a discofied Motown medley called "Uptown Festival" performed by a group of studio musicians and singers dubbed Shalamar. When the song turned out to be a smash dance hit, a singing group of Soul Train dancers was put together as the face of Shalamar. Consisting of Jody Watley, Jeffrey Daniel and Gerald Brown, the new group scored a couple hits and had two moderately successful albums, Uptown Festival and Disco Gardens, before Brown was replaced by mellifluous singer Howard Hewett.

The addition of Hewett was the missing ingredient to turn Shalamar from a faceless dance act to a real Soul group and, combined with the maturing of Watley into a fine vocalist, created the most popular and interesting lineup the group would ever have. The reorganized Shalamar, working with hot young producer Leon Sylvers (who would architect the SOLAR sound for the Whispers, Dynasty, Lakeside and others) immediately scored with the dance cut "The Second Time Around" and the 1979 top five album Big Fun. They continued their rise two years later with Three For Love, an album that would show them to not only be a great dance group ("Make That Move" and "Full of Fire"), but also developing ballad singers ("This Is For the Lover In You").

After distribution problems and an unsuccessful, quickly thrown together Go For It disc, the group return in top form with their first #1 Soul album, Friends, and the monster hit, "A Night To Remember." While on top of the world commercially, internal friction in the group threatened its continued existence. Nonetheless, in 1983 they released their finest album, The Look, which included the edgy hit "Dead Giveaway," but more importantly included their finest ballad work ever, in the album cuts "You Can Count of Me" (maybe Hewett's best performance with the group) and "You're the One For Me." But The Look served as Watley's and Daniel's swan song, and they both quit the group later that year. They were replaced by Micki Free and Delisa Davis.

By then pretty much the Howard Hewett show, Shalamar scored a surprising top 20 pop hit in 1984 with their contribution to the Footloose soundtrack, "Dancing In The Sheets" (produced by Bill Wolfer), and did moderately well with the album Heartbreak. Hewett then left in 1986 for a solo career and was replaced by Sidney Justin. By 1987, Shalamar had gone full circle, and was again a faceless producer's group, by then working with young producer Babyface for their last album, Circumstantial Evidence.

After the demise of Shalamar, Watley had a strong solo career, scoring a string of hot dance hits over the 80s and 90s. Hewett also had a moderately successful solo career and became a frequent guest vocalist on Soul and Jazz albums. Daniel, released a solo album which received rave reviews.

Newest member Carolyn Baldwin, replaced Jody Watley when she left to pursue a solo career. Carolyn is also the daughter of former Solar Records co-owner Dick Griffey and former Solar Records recording artist Carrie Lucas.
