In this episode of “Hub City Now with Tyrone Tony Reed Jr.”, the host interviews Solomon “Shazam” Conner, lead singer and founding member of multi-platinum, R & B Hall of Fame super group H-Town! The band recorded the hit song “Knockin’ Da Boots”, its biggest hit which was #1 on the R & B charts and peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Conner speaks about the group’s meteoric rise in the 1990s, what it was like to go from high school and suddenly be superstars along with his twin brother, the late Kevon “Dino” Conner, and their friend Darryl “G.I.” Jackson, traveling the world, performing and recording hit songs.
Conner also spoke about musical influences, why he wanted to be in music, what it was like to perform with legendary singers and have hit songs on soundtracks for Jason’s Lyric, A Thin Line Between Love and Hate and Above the Rim.
Conner also elaborates on his solo career, his current hit songs “Pac Man” (www.youtube.com/watch?v=g10Or_jmBvo) and “Strokey Doke” (www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-HIqTkz2UQ), when we can expect his solo album and why H-Town is still going strong all over the world.
