It's hard,but I'm gonna pick my Top 5 Cameo songs...

"Freaky Dancin" (1981)
"Alligator Woman" (1982)
"Sparkle" (1979)
"Be Yourself" (1982)
"Feel Me" (1979)


can anyone else do it? You can only pick five!

Can never get enough of "Word Up" Find myself listening to that alot more than every other Cameo song.

Cameo had so many great jams for the ass and the dick. The funk to shake the ass on the dance floor and the slow jams to satisfy the dick in the bedroom.

Their best work was from the beginning through 1982. In the late 80s, they were guilty of what so many other R&B artists did which was watering down the funk for a pop audience. All in all though, they are one of my favorite groups.

In all my years of loving Cameo, I was brutally SHOCKED to find out that Cameo never had a {female} vocalist

Thats the MOST feminine falsetto I ever heard,,,,and it sounds so damn natural, not a FORCED note, go figure.

Never heard of them?

I love Wayne Cooper's falsetto. I never mistook him for a woman though

Oh I mistook him for a vagina, alright maybe becoz of my ignorance with falsetto singers(I'm a loyal baritone fan, which explains it).

Him and MJ fooled me for the longest,,,,him more than MJ becoz I was already fimiliar with Jackson 5 and their aftermath. But I wasn't that fimiliar with Cameo.

I'm still not that fimiliar with Cameo's history, to be honest.

I'm a falsetto man myself. I don't think I've ever mistaken a male voice for a female one

Well like I said lol I didn't know any better

Yeah that's the jam. I love "Candy" as well .

Harlepolis said:

Wayne does have a pretty feminine falsetto, indeed
And like you said, it sounds very natural and not 'forced'.

Never ...

All right, that's it.

Wayne Cooper had one of the best falsettos out there. That's because he was one of the family if you know what I mean.

He had me fooled in the beginning also. When I first heard it, I thought "We're Going Out Tonight" was a duet by a man and a woman.

My grandmother thought Prince was a woman. I would be playing "Do Me, Baby" really loud in my room and I would turn up the screaming parts because those were my favorites. She would bang on the wall and holler....."Andy, turn that damn shit down! Good Lord! It sounds like somebody is choking that bitch!".
