Peter Brown. He also had a jam with Dance With Me.

trc said:

trc, you've got a bit of Invisible Man's Band and the Dazz Band going on there. Did they ever join forces?

Anyway, all joking aside, I know the joint you're talking about. I must post about it at least once a week! It's Peter Brown's "Do you Wanna get Funky with Me?"
It's so hot!
I'm burnin' up! (hot)

stymie said:

Just getting into Cameo. Well rediscovering their back catalog. Anyone got any recommendations? I have the Alligator Woman album and Feel Me?! We should set up a trading hub to swap music, besides half this stuff is unavailable!

We All Know Who We Are

WildheartXXX said:

My best suggestion to you is to get "The Best of Cameo". It is a really good starting place. A lot of my old music is on vinyl.

stymie said:

I'm all about compilations. "Freaky Dancin'" is on "The Best of Cameo, vol. 2. So are "Hangin' Downtown" and one of my all time favorite Cameo joints "It's Serious." I know a few threads back folks were feelin' "Cameosis" but "It's Serious" is hot, too!

stymie said:

Well I tell you what if I find something I'll send it to ya, how bout that im here on the east coast and people just keep ordering stuff

If your near a circuit city, the can order some stuff for you, most music stores can get you some sounds

Ok, go to CDNow.com, then select R&B, then Funk they have the original tracks on CD

WildheartXXX said:

The 'Alligator Woman' album is now on CD?! Or do you have the vinyl album? That's probably my favorite Cameo album.

WildheartXXX said:

Get their Cameosis cd.

"You look so fine and I want your number in my book...wanna take you home with me and get it on all night long...it's gonna be an All Night Thing"


Yes,that song is da jam!

Ok, ?

Too Hot to Stop and Too Hot to Trot (Commodores and the Barkays) who did what first?

trc said:

I believe that the Barkays did Too Hot to Trot and the the Commodores did Too Hot to Stop first.

Serious Old Skool Funk is "If You Want Me To Stay" by Sly and the Family Stone and"Shining Star" by Earth Wind and Fire.

Tina (~!~)

stymie said:

Do you know the story behind the 2 because if I remember they came out about the same time

DavidEye said:

My friend has the original Alligator Woman CD, ive got a CDR of it. I am in the UK and maybe its availability is different here.

trc said:

No, I don't know the story but if I remember they sound similar. The Barkays had a few songs that sounded like someone else's that was already out.

stymie said:

ok, just thought I ask cause there was a big controversy over the 2 songs and yeah they did sound similiar and that's probably why due to that and that the names are too much the same

Speaking of the Bar-Kays,I love them to death,but admit it,many of their songs "borrow" heavily from other songs.Examples...



***"Freakshow On The DanceFloor"(1984) sounds alot like Midnight Star's 1983 hit "No Parking On The DanceFloor".

***"Dirty Dancer"(1984) has the same synth line as Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean"(1983).

***"Freaky Behavior"(1981) is reminiscent of Rick James' "Super Freak".

***"Dance,Party,Etc"(1984) is a blatant rip-off of Prince's 1982 song "DMSR".

Aurra - Does anyone know where I can find the first few vinyls on CD ?
