This was and still is the Funkiest Band through the decades of music they have touched my musical spirit in so many ways CAMEO is a total funky and musical drug. I'm Addicted !!!!!
Anthony Lockett i.e. the last member to the extreme right, tore up on the leads he did on the songs: sparkle and feel me. One of the most premiere bands of our era. Great group.
You men look like family members to me. I wish I could tell and show how much your music, band, and soul has meant to me in life. All classical African diaspora. Gifts to the world and under appreciated, in my humble opinion. I love you all.
I enjoyed watching this interview with Cameo and laughing with them as they were being question, how they got started in Music industry, for the work they did. I Love every song that Cameo made.
Loved these guys ever since I saw them on BBC's TOTP - The way Larry was dancing and the were dancing in sync & Eyes right - They were great -They were something else ! Never seen them live though !
Just saw Cameo Friday September 23 and this was like a dream come true. I've been a fan for ever and have had you in my playlist from tapes, to records, to CDs, MP3s and my streaming - but you are a MUST in my life soundtrack. I can't believe I got to see you LIVE for the first time!!!??? Still in awe.... and PS: that show killed me! i was DEAD TIRED from all the dancing. Honestly, I love you all for doing this for the fans!
"Candy" my fave Cameo tune! Great group. Always hoped they'd tour with The Gap Band, Prince, and the Time and call it the "Lord's of Funk" tour. Add Tavares and Living Color as well.
My son is 22 yrs old and he loves "Word Up"! My family events playlist is "Old School Music". There's really no today artists creating music that gives us "Positive Energy"! Thanks Cameo ❤️
CAMEO is my group. Love me some Cameo. I have friends that say when they hear certain Cameo songs it reminds them of me because I played cameo so much.
I'm a big fan of cameo. My cousin Scott and I did our karaoke thing one night. I was the backup dancing! we had everyone up and said you guys were really good. people came over to us and said to Scott man your cousin can dance.
I love Cameo!! Music is love!! When I first hear Rigor Mortis in the summer of 1976 that was a turning point in my life. Cameo reinvented funk music for the next generations to come.
Cameo is the funkiest group ever. They have the baddest horns i ever heard. When they stop using horns it took a lot out of their funk. They still was funky in the mid 80's. funk funk,rigor mortis,Attack me with your love,cameosis,one the one,feel me,sparkle,its over,why have I lost you,we're going out tonight,single life,post mortem,macho,it's serious,keep it hot,roller skate,candy and word up.most of those songs had the funky horns,a lot of horn stabs.funky base,drums,great harmony,creative sounds.they cut out the funky horns.bring back the horns.all the funk bands died when they kill the horns.watering down the sound,getting out of the pocket.THE DEATH OF FUNK.
I would hope y’all would come back to see us. I live in Denver Colorado. I really enjoy y’all music and we don’t meet y’all everyday and it’s my bucket list.I remember we all know who we are. I’m so sorry you lost your friend . But y’all kept going and I kept going through the years. Y’all been truly blessed hopefully I can see you one more time. Life is too short
Wayne cooper could sing . He had a blessed voice I didn’t know he was sick but god bless his soul. I still got all them albums. Larry and all the brothers of cameo. Hopefully 🙏 y’all get in touch
I love Word up today like it was that first time in the parking lot of a huge black night club, we were waiting for a little something And that is where the meeting place was, and Word up came blasting out of the nightclub and I was blown away! We stayed for hours drinking with some nice girls and having the time of our lives !!!!!!
I hate it that R&B/Funk bands don't the recognition they deserve until they have a hit that crossed over. Word Up great song we all love it. But I and WHOLE host of people of a certain group remember the Sparkle and Shake your Pants. Go listen to it. Hands down IN MY OPINION one of the most bad ass slow cuts ever made. I care for you, For You. I'm a slow jam junky.
The 1st album I bought in my life is Cameo's Alligator Woman. I bought all the other albums since then. No prize for guessing they are my favorite group.
Favorite under the radar Cameo songs: friend to me, anything you wanna do, give love a chance, Two of Us(Tupac, ghetto in heaven), New York, New York, Love you anyway, groove with you and roller-skate(super funky), is this the way, l care for you, Hangin downtown, secrets of time, I'll always stay, fast fierce funny, time fire space, Money, That kinda of guy, Slyde, Just to name a few.
Hey cameo I still jam shake your pants, keep it hot , freaky dancing, as well as word up ,it's like candy , skin your in, be your self , love the horns and your songs please come back to Shreveport,LA we love you guys, cameo for life ,I have all your albums not cds,not cassette, !!!
Brother Blackmon is still in shape. My wife and i feel in love on their songs while students on the yard i.e. subr. " feel me" "sparkle", and "why have i lost you" i.e. when we would break up and get back together.
Larry fearlessness leadership respect yourself gospels soulful and groove songs and cultural heritage Blackmon forever and happy and blessing day today keeping up with the respect yourself. Live interview live conversation Love music forces roots Cameo/funkestien African gospels soulful and groove songs New York city players fun,dazzling blessing orchestra rocks and roll and club is brilliantly Nubian nation.
I saw the show 3 weeks ago and he did not look healthy either. Significant weight gain and difficulty moving around the stage. But with all that, the show was magnificent as the other band members did a helluva job carrying the show.
I fell in love with Cameo ever since “I Just Want To Be”.
I'm still feeling Cameosis 2019
This was and still is the Funkiest Band through the decades of music they have touched my musical spirit in so many ways CAMEO is a total funky and musical drug. I'm Addicted !!!!!
larry Blackman #1 and a very talented musician!!!
Brother Blackmon comes across as being a very humble dude , which is a testament to the group's success and longevity.
By chance, do you know who sang lead on “please you?”
The band members say he was really hard on hired drummers.
Phase of two Bands. I get why they downsized. Hate it happened since other members were impacted but the change in sound made sense.
Anthony Lockett i.e. the last member to the extreme right, tore up on the leads he did on the songs: sparkle and feel me. One of the most premiere bands of our era. Great group.
That Larry created that iconic backbeat on 'Word Up' using unconventional means...pure musical genius.
When you're a kid and you start reading the credits and searching for those people to get more, you have done something significant. Thank you.
"I Just Want To Be" is just pure funk! Still stands up today! A ground breaking group, no question!
my favorite all-time group. 8 gold albums + 1 platinum. i will always have cameosis in my heart.
shake your pants off the hook
still love them, candy great song
Powerful people your music is still running in my heart
got too see them at the Westgate in vegas on my bday, 9/25...fan since 84...they still funky!

who is the white dude in cameo.
He was on the synthesizer, right?
Jeff Nelson
Why is the camera shot at crotch level???
Lol
Who's crotch?
Larry Blackmon doesn't sound healthy in this interview.
I saw the show 3 weeks ago and he did not look healthy either. Significant weight gain and difficulty moving around the stage. But with all that, the show was magnificent as the other band members did a helluva job carrying the show.
And his vocals are not on point either..something is going on with him wow.
I was thinking the samething.
Rafiki Webster I think Larry Blackman is up in age and it's time for Larry to Retire from the entertainment industry!!!
sho ya right.
