Howard Hewett & Rogerhill Music

Among the great pure vocalists of the urban contemporary era, Howard Hewett has seldom found material worthy of his tremendous skills. Growing up in Akron, Ohio and relocating to Los Angeles, Hewett danced on Soul Train and became one-third of Shalamar in 1979. They had several big hits before Hewett departed for a solo career in 1985. He signed with Elektra and his second single “I’m For Real” was a number two R&B hit in 1986. Cutting duets with Dionne Warwick and Anita Baker, he also sang back up for Donna Summer.
