Former recording artist, renowned songwriter writer, producer, author (Everything You Better Know About The Record Industry) and filmmaker Kashif is working on a 10 part documentary titled “The History of R&B”, it was a pleasure to sit down an chat about a variety of topics with regard to my career as a solo artist, Shalamar member, being a woman and  trailblazer in the industry. It’s always fascinating to me the questions women artists are asked as compared to male artists.

As they were running behind, I crossed paths with Reggi Calloway from Midnight Starr who I hadn’t seen since I left Solar Records and Shalamar in 1983.
