i knew it...

cameo is the hottness...i have copies of cardiac arrest, feel me and cameosis on vinyl. i'm still lookin for a copy of we all know who we are but haven't had any luck yet.

I dig Cameo too:
Candy
She's Strange
Word Up
and some others.

Ms. Legs Cameo w/a passion. They are one of the most tight Funk & Ballad Bands around. Some of my favorite cuts are: Alligator Women, She Strange, A Goodbye, Sparkle, Freaky Dancin, Shake Your Pants, Candy, Single Life, Word Up, Be Yourself, Don't Be Lonely, and I Just Want To Be What You Want Me To Be.

For an true funkateer, I recommend that you see these guys in concert. I here they are still funkin and throughing down. You won't be disappointed. The funk will set you free.

Yeah, I ran a thread on "Why Have I Lost You" discussing both versions. Been into Cameo all my life. Please, don't get me started about Cameo. Another great funk band that made the transition smoothly from the 70's into the 80's. Something that P-Funk didn't do nearly as well.

FUNK!! FUNK!! FUNK!! FUNK!!

That was the JAM!!!

I remember hearing it for the first time,
and thinking it was P-Funk....

CANDY IS THE SHIT!!!!

Give it up for CAMEO!

I was just playing them in the car earlier.

Use It or Lose It
I Just Wanna Be-THE funkiest Cameo song of all time to me
Keep It Hot
Back and Forth
Rigor Mortis
I Never Knew
Attack Me With Your Love

Wayne Cooper and his 'what you want me to be'makes me wanna slap the hell outta somebody.

Cameo is definately one of my favorite groups. My favorite era was in the early 1980s when there were about 10 or 12 of them in the group. Their late 1980s stuff was fine but not near as strong as their early 1980s stuff though.

They had hardcore funk like "Be Yourself", "Shake Your Pants", "I Just Want To Be", "Freaky Dancing", "Flirt", etc. They also have some of the baddest ballads of all time like "Sparkle", "Why Have I Lost You", and "We're Going Out Tonight". I love a group that can do hardcore funk and then turn around and do some of the most steamy, sensual "midnight" type ballads....."Feel Me" is one of my favorites.

Oh Shit, I forgot that one. This was one of my other favorite Cameosis jams.

Flirt, Back And Forth, Attack Me With Your Love, Candy, Cameosis, I Just Want To Be are my favorite Camoe jams.

Don't y'all forget about "Soul Army".

Very good point.

I was listening to some Cameo on my way to work. One of my favorite jam is " Your love takes me out" from the "Feel me" album. Funkay

I heard a rumor that Vanity is the lady on the cover of their 1982 album 'Alligator Woman'.Anyone know if it's true?
