Emotional Violence is one of my favorite Cameo albums, and "Nothing Less Than Love" is probably my favorite song on it.

Yeah the latter is I've Got Your Image part 2.

I noticed that when i first bought the cd. It was actually the 3rd

cd i ever bought. I remember i used to like Don't Crash. Don't Crash was

wild as hell. Conversely, i hated Front Street.

Another favorite off the album besides the funky title track was

Another Love.

I remember i was geared up to see Cameo during the Real Men Wear Black tour and

Basic Black was supposed to open and i had no idea who they were at the time and

the show got cancelled due to slow ticket sales. There seemed to be no promotion

for the Real Men Wear Black album but they seemed to run out of gas somewhat

on this album.

"Don't Crash" reminds me also of "She's Mine," and "Front Street" was another push in the new jack direction.

Yeah, those bass and guitar fills in "Another Love" by Aaron & Charlie are tight. A minor thing are the somewhat

plastic, horn-sounding synths. But their harmonized voices are solid and have that characteristic c-funk sound.

Author: MIKE BOEHM Date: Sep 3, 1990 Start Page: 8 Section: Calendar; PART-F; Entertainment Desk Text Word Count: 720 Abstract (Document Summary) Nathan Leftenant, one of the veteran funk band's core trio of singers, was out sick, leaving the remaining 11 members to face a sea of empty orange chairs at the Celebrity Theatre. The 2,500-seat hall looked at least two-thirds empty. Cameo hit the stage and spent 20 minutes wandering through a grooveless desert marked by a whanging metallic guitar solo, a thunking, muscle-bound drum solo, and song snippets too meager to establish a firm, funky direction. The singing sounded pretty iffy too. The fans, meanwhile, sat on their hands. At this point, a lot of bands would have decided it was time to turn in a real cameo appearance and hurry through the motions to end the misery. But a band doesn't last 13 years, as Cameo has, without having a certain amount of gumption. In a fine show of leadership, Cameo's strapping, muscular, Gorgon-haired main man, [Larry Blackmon], broke the band down to the basic elements of funk-a hammering drum beat and booming bass-and rallied the fans to their feet.
