Audiences are being asked to join in the celebration by wearing black or white, enhanced with a golden touch.Shalamar Golden Anniversary | 1976 –2026 Shalamar was created in 1976 by Don Cornelius, the visionary behind TV’s Soul Train, and Dick Griffey, the show’s talent chief. The project began in Los Angeles with session singers recording “Uptown Festival (Part 1 & 2)”, a disco medley of Motown classicsreleased later that year on Soul Train Records. The single brought Motown melodies to the dancefloor with a modern disco beat.

By 1977, “Uptown Festival” had become an international hit, reaching #25 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #10 on the UK Singles Chart.Riding this success, Griffey recognized that Shalamar needed recognizable faces to connect with fans. He recruited popular Soul Train dancer Jeffrey Daniel and together they auditioned and recruited Jody Watley, along with vocalist Gary Mumford (later replaced by Gerald Brown). From that pointforward, Cornelius remained focused on the television show, stepping back from the record label which Griffey subsequently renamed Solar Records.

In 1978, Jeffrey invited Howard Hewett to join as the new lead singer, solidifying the classic lineup. With their smooth vocals, dazzling dance moves, and trendsetting style, Shalamar became one of the defining R&B groups of the late ’70s and ’80s —a legacy now celebrating 50 years strong.
