Jeffrey Daniels

Active Decades
 
 
by Craig Harris
With his masterful, robotic, dancing, Jeffrey Daniels helped to transform Los Angeles-based trio, Shalamar, into a global phenomenon. Their recordings were extremely popular in England, where they out-sold all foreign bands during the early-1980s. Since leaving the group, and settling permanently in Lodon, England, in 1984, Daniels has continued to find success as the star of popular West End musical, Starlight Express, and host of the British version of Soul Train.







Initially attracting attention as a Soul Train dancer in 1977, Daniels was in the right place when producer Simon Soussan elected to form a more-permanent lineup of Shalamar, shortly after recording the group's debut album, "Uptown Festival", with session musicians and singers.
