JODY WATLEY

The legendary Jody Watley is replacing fellow 80s Diva Lisa Lisa this Saturday. Fans are in for a treat as the celebrated singer/songwriter/dancer has a long list of hits to perform!

Shalamar featured lead vocalist Howard Howett; the group was incredibly successful and released several chart-topping singles and albums from 1977 to 1983.

Already an award-winning artist, Jody set out on her own in the late 1980s to develop a solo career. In 1987, she released her self-titled debut album, which went Gold. The lead single, "Looking For A New Love," shot to number one and scored her a Grammy for Best Female R&B Artist of the Year.

The songstress has been a force in the music world for the past three decades, with 14 albums and over 30 hit singles under her belt. She is a true music legend. Today, Watley is still performing and touring to the delight of fans. She's even added a radio host to her resume.
