DEF: Shalamar “Dead Giveaway”
Los Angeles-based group Shalamar experienced their biggest success on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart as the 1980s were starting when “The Second Time Around” reached the Top 10 in the spring of 1980.”The Second Time Around,” though, was the second of four appearances the group would make in the Top 40. Three and a half years later, Shalamar scored their third Top 40 hit when “Dead Giveaway” peaked at number 22. On this date in 1983, “Dead Giveaway” climbed to its peak position, where it would spend two weeks. Today, “Dead Giveaway” by Shalamar is the Daily Eighties Flashback.
