Biography

30 January 1959, Chicago, Illinois, USA. Formerly one third of Shalamar between 1977 and 1984, a hugely successful group of the disco era, Watley's first professional experience had come as a dancer on the television show Soul Train. After Shalamar disbanded she made the progression to solo artist, working in a contemporary soul/urban R&B vein. Her self-titled debut album, released in 1987, became a million-seller and included three US Top 10 hits - "Looking For A New Love", "Don't You Want Me" and "Some Kind Of Lover". It brought her a Grammy award for Best New Artist of 1987. The subsequent Larger Than Life achieved gold status, and included the US number 2 hit "Real Love", as well as further hits "Everything" and "Friends", the latter a collaboration with Eric B And Rakim and Whodini. "Precious Love" (1990) was remixed by Soul II Soul's Simon Law and "I'm The One You Need" by David Morales and Drizabone as part of the remix project, You Wanna Dance With Me?...
