"but waiiiiit a minute..
Im stiiiiillll lonely... "

U know the classic male singer that was bustin them high vocals on those old Cameo albums....which one was that?
Is he on the cover of Cameosis or Knights, or Secret Omen?

His name was Wayne Cooper

He's on the covers of the 'Cameosis' & 'Secret Omen' albums..

Sadly, he died of cancer.

Damn that was the one I didnt think nothing about . He looked kinda cute.

He was my favorite in the group. One of the best voices I've ever heard.

Dude could sing.

But Prince is the best at everything. He can play 37 different instruments you know.

whodknee said:

fuck all that multi-instrument shit, when all's said n'done wayne's falsetto still kicks the shit outta prince's.

I didn't know he died. I always thought PRince's falsetto was influenced by his... but whether or not Wayne's is better or not is a matter of personal opinion, not fact.

Wayne dies of AIDS. I know because he was the first celebrity I had heard of to die from it. It was actually what made me try to learn about the disease. At the time, there wasn't much info on it. What a sad end to such a beautiful voice.

I REMEMBER READING IN RIGHT ON MAGAZINE THAT HE DIED OF LEUKEMIA. ALSO AROUND THE TIME OF THE "KEEP IT HOT" ALBUM WHICH I BELEIVE IS AFTER CAMEOSIS ALBUM HE HAD GONE AND LARRY BLACKMON WAS PRODUCING

They have another member named Charlie Singleton who is a great falsetto too.
