Hi! I’m Gail Nobles. You’re listening to Lounge Hype. I’m thinking about Howard Hewett from the group Shalamar who had a birthday party one day at Xen Lounge.

Howard Hewett had a birthday party one day at Xen Lounge. The photograph that you see was taken by Gina Walker. Howard was about 60 then. Today he’s 67.

I still love to hear him sing. I love how he starts a song. That’s when you know something’s coming up. You know you’re about to hear something good. He’ll switch around and hit a high note, and the girls love that. Y’all know how he do. He’s really good live because he can sing.

Howard rose to fame as the lead vocalist of the group Shalamar. The group started in the 70’s. In 1985, Howard left the group to pursue his solo career, but he later returned to the group in 2001.
