Jam of the Evening: "I Just Want To Be" by Cameo This is one of my favorites from Cameo and it's a sho-nuff ass-shaker.
Give it up for "I Just Want To Be". Andy is a four letter word. | |

YESSSSSUH!  Also one of my favs from Cameo, and I label this one as my "act a damn fool" tracks cause if this song fucks around and happens to start playin, no matter where I'm at....read back to the quote  ...
Who said that Funk was done just by one, Who said that it was never, ever done, Who said that two of us couldn't groove, It wasn't me but maybe it was YOU!  "Say I'm lookin' at you, from the corner of my eye..."  | |

An all time classic for sure, but of course I only ever jam on the 12" version which clocks in at 6.19 and the not the 5.14 edit version. |

"I Just Want to Be" was Cameo's breakthrough song, becoming the group's first hit on the Billboard R&B Singles chart (peaking at No. 3 in Fall 1979). Years later, it's still one of my favorite jams by Larry Blackmon & Co.

Ooh, the 12" version is just... 
It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.
