After Gardens, Gerald Browns tenure as Shalamars male lead lasted only one album, as disputes about appropriate payment an all-too-familiar refrain for those studying the history of black music in America led to his departure from the group. Griffeys replacement was Howard Hewett, an immensely talented singer from Akron, Ohio who also spent time dancing on Soul Train before being added to the group for the next Shalamar album, 1979s appropriately-titled Big Fun. Big Fun is the textbook for what made disco, well, fun please just look at its cover
