Shalamar

Disco Gardens is Shalamar’s breakout—when the sheen of studio disco gave way to real identities and soulful ambition. Anchored by the trio of Gerald Brown, Jody Watley, and Jeffrey Daniel, the record fuses glittering grooves (“Tossing, Turning and Swinging”) with early hints of SOLAR’s soulful elegance (“Lovely Lady”). Though modestly charting, it plants the seeds for the group's future glory and delivers the enduring anthem “Take That to the Bank.”
