According to one Rolling Stone writer, Howard Hewett is the premier vocalist in the post - Marvin Gaye era of romantic pop. Like Gaye, Hewett soars to new heights and seduces his audience. It is no wonder he’s responsible for selling some ten million records; his voice is irresistible.
It’s Time, Hewett’s debut release for Caliber Records, is, according to the singer, “the first project molded out of my own mind. I’m in charge of the sound and comfortable with the feelings. Those feelings are all about romance. This is the first record that’s completely me.”
Hewett first burst on the scene as lead singer of Shalamar, the successful post - disco group which topped the charts in both the U.S. and U. K. “Second Time Around,” featuring Howard, was a near two - million seller. “For the Lover in You,” co-written by Hewett and reinterpreted in It’s Time, was another major hit. “Dancing in the Sheets,” “A Night to Remember” are just a few more of the Hewett - led smash hits that Shalamar enjoyed as a group.
In the mid-eighties, Howard’s solo career rocketed. The first single released on his own, I’m For Real,” zoomed to number one. A series of hits followed, such as “Stay,” “I Commit to Love,” “Strange Relationship,” “Once, Twice, Three Times,” and “Show Me.”
What’s more, his original “Say Amen” earned the status of a modern gospel classic, enjoying across the board airplay. And his recorded duets with Anita Baker, Dionne Warwick, Brenda Russell and Stacy Lattisaw won critical accolades.
“Of all the fine singers working today,” artist/songwriter Babyface has said, “Howard Hewett is among the finest.”
