Biography - Jody Watley
Jody Watley (born Jan. 30, 1959, Chicago) emerged from the R&B group Shalamar to score a string of solo hit singles, chiefly from 1987 to 1990, a period in which she reached the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 six times. Watley got her start as a dancer on the television dance show Soul Train, which led to her being tapped for a spot in Shalamar. Her first solo album, Jody Watley, yielded #2 hit Looking for a New Love, which was followed by two more top 10 singles — Don’t You Want Me (#6) and Some Kind of Lover (#10).
