I know Cameo is known for more popular songs - but THIS one? Is a whole vibe. And their ballads in general? OMGGG. Motherpopcorn - thank you. JJ - LOVE that you go deep in the crates. NO ONE else is doing that. Thank you so much for giving us music lovers R&B content that other UA-camrs are not.....we will continue to support your work..
Thumbs up gain JJ - you've been digging deeper into some of the best arttist's works ( Cameo, Earth Wind and Fire, the Whispers, ConFunkShun, Maze, Rufus, feat Chaka Khan , Commodores to name a few......) More of the same plesae - ! Thanks
Another Quiet Storm Classic They Used To Play This All The Time On The Radio I Love This Song Larry Blackmon Of Cameo Is So Underrated As A Proudcer & Writer 💯💯
Don't be lonely; Sparkle, Hanging Downtown It's Over I'll Never look for love I've Got Your Image A Goodbye all Quiet Stormers and tear Jerkers.. Cameo got skills..
Big shout out to Mother popcorn you know your music I've been checking that out you know your music I definitely salute you for some of your selections
Yes. Was so good to have 8 or ten (or more) band members working together to get that sound. It was the norm back in the Cameo, Lakeside, Con Funk Shun era.
I love it that this new generation of kids are just finding the musical groups from 40 years ago! Many of the 70's soul group members have passed away! But their music is making a comeback and will be played for the next 50 years! *To the host of this video* Sample the music from Heatwave, Con funk Shun, Ray, Goodman & Brown and Imagination!
Yoooooo, you deserve so many more views, especially on this one! Love this song 💚💛💜 cameo slayyyyed this one! Been in my playlist for years! DC classic 💝 love your reaction
Best slow jam from them to me, I never get tired of listening to this song on repeat for at least 10 times before I move on to the next slow jam. Man the 70' & 80's had the most soulful and meaningful slow jams to me at least personally.
This song is such a classic. We use to slow jam & Waltz on roller skate to this back in the day it sound so good loud. There are alot of Cameo great song that haven't been reacted too. Here is another group just as good. The Bar-Kays that you been sleeping on & no won's react too. They also are legendary & have a extensive archive of great songs.
If you really like their versatility you have to react to the Title track of the Alligator Woman album. It's a funky new wave track that bangs. And their last track "El Passo" 2019 digital only single. Larry Blackmon did most of their production. His still got it.
You're on fire! Another one of my favorite bands and one of my favorite songs and in heavy rotation on my playlist. Production? Larry Blackmon is a beast on all levels. To me Cameo is like an offspring of EWF and Pfunk. For example listen to the instrumentals like Sound Table, In the Night, their ballads and midtempo grooves for Ewf DNA. Then listen to Funk Funk (check out this mesmerizing video ua-cam.com/video/19UuymyRiV4/v-deo.html) Rigor Mortis, i just want to be etc for Pfunk influences For other songs like Hangin Downtown, checkout Love you Anyway, Nothing Less Than Love, Use it or Lose It, Attack me with your Love,.
Man I go way back with Cameo I thought Cameo was so fly when I was younger I wanted to dress like them but this track here was one I never heard until about 4 or 5 months ago I came across it and I can't stop rocking it so I got to agree with you JJ wow wow wow wow
@Just Jammin just found you my man friend wanted to play Cameo like that's his favorite group until I played this one and he play it now like it's his jam hand he 52
A fav ♥ Pregnant w/oldest son in '84 (problems w/his dad), this song was RIGHT ON TIME for me because my main attraction (alone), literally was "Hangin' Downtown" Chicago & this was my ANTHEM. LOL
You are awesomeness for reacting to this. Your discernment and honesty are why I like watching your reactions most to the REAL music soundtracks to much of my life.
Sooo many dope cuts by Cameo. But “Hanging Downtown” and “Feel Me” are two are my FAVORITE underrated jammy jams. By the way, if I’m not mistaken, the model on the She’s Strange album cover was a Soul Train dancer.
If you wanna get a true read on the range of Cameo please listen to "The Knights of the Sound Table". It's an instrumental track that rivals EWF for musicianship and groove
I am blown away by this young man’s appreciation for the music but it makes me curious do the young folks not write music anymore....? Is everything just samples now...? This is what music lessons were for on Saturdays. I been playing sax for decades.
Great song. Not a mainstream one, but one of their best ! Do Jazz/fusion/R&B Jeff Lorber ua-cam.com/video/w4isWrAwRBA/v-deo.html Great bassline and synths.
Your Top 5 bands conversation is funny cause of the simple extensive number of bands over the last fifty years alone (& I am just speaking of Black performers) so perhaps Top 5 of the 60's, 70's, 80's and so on might be easier for you to achieve, Just sayin'. Oh and this one was nice, not their best in my humble opinion, everyone's a critic.
Hello there... not to be critical, but you are playing EVERY Cameo song there is, except for their two MONSTER hit songs! You need to play I JUST WANT TO BE and WORD UP! Those are the two songs that Cameo are KNOWN for! PLAY THOSE SONGS!!! I don't know who is advising you on Cameo, but they are not giving you the right information!!!
I know Cameo is known for more popular songs - but THIS one? Is a whole vibe. And their ballads in general? OMGGG. Motherpopcorn - thank you. JJ - LOVE that you go deep in the crates.

@Anthony Barkley 👍🏽

Oh and I have to include the funkmasters - Parliament Funkadelics too
Another Quiet Storm Classic They Used To Play This All The Time On The Radio I Love This Song Larry Blackmon Of Cameo Is So Underrated As A Proudcer & Writer 💯💯
Indeed he is, this song was written by the late Kenny Hairston. Sang by Charlie Singleton and Tomi Jenkins
@Mindbodyandspirit240 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Don't be lonely; Sparkle, Hanging Downtown It's Over I'll Never look for love I've Got Your Image A Goodbye all Quiet Stormers and tear Jerkers.. Cameo got skills..

Big shout out to Mother popcorn you know your music I've been checking that out you know your music I definitely salute you for some of your selections
Wish I could give this 1000 thumbs UP!!! lol JAM!! ♥
Yes. Was so good to have 8 or ten (or more) band members working together to get that sound. It was the norm back in the Cameo, Lakeside, Con Funk Shun era.
My all time favorite song from Cameo!
A masterpiece!

Appreciate it!
Thats the jam right there
Cameo - back and forth
Kenny Hairston...produced this one (RIP ) GREAT GUY, will be missed. I knew him personally.
Best slow jam from them to me, I never get tired of listening to this song on repeat for at least 10 times before I move on to the next slow jam. Man the 70' & 80's had the most soulful and meaningful slow jams to me at least personally.
Walter I couldn't agree with you more
I love this darn song! OMG. I sing it to the top of my lungs every time it’s on! #obsessed
Also check out “Shake your pants”, “Sparkle”’, “Cameosis”, “We’re going out tonight.”
This is that sunsetting or late night drive with the top down or sunroof open, feeling the summer breeze vibe ...
One of the best groups of the 80’s. Dynamite shows!
This song is such a classic. We use to slow jam & Waltz on roller skate to this back in the day it sound so good loud. There are alot of Cameo great song that haven't been reacted too. Here is another group just as good. The Bar-Kays that you been sleeping on & no won's react too. They also are legendary & have a extensive archive of great songs.
This song always seemed to come on WBLS when I’d be riding through NYC early morning hours heading back to Jersey🎼
Hanging Downtown is one of the few songs where Larry Blackmon (along with Tomi Jenkins and Charlie Singleton) really showcased his vocal chops!
This is my favorite Cameo song.
Cameo is the truth. Love this joint but our favorite song of theirs is Sparkle In Your Eyes. Check it out.

One of my fav songs listened this song every day then, larry blackmon and charlie singleton are the brains behind cameo. Blackmon is the leadsinger.
sing it baby larry at his most soulful killer slow jam quality band
You need to do more of their big hits. .Just be Yourself. .Shake Your Pants..Flirt..
The production...
Also Feel me and Why have I lost you!!!
Man I go way back with Cameo I thought Cameo was so fly when I was younger I wanted to dress like them but this track here was one I never heard until about 4 or 5 months ago I came across it and I can't stop rocking it so I got to agree with you JJ wow wow wow wow
@Just Jammin just found you my man friend wanted to play Cameo like that's his favorite group until I played this one and he play it now like it's his jam hand he 52
not doubt about it in top 5 groups
Cameo is one of my favs!!!!
Larry Blackmon Cameos founder and leader produced their songs; he was a beast.
A fav ♥ Pregnant w/oldest son in '84 (problems w/his dad), this song was RIGHT ON TIME for me because my main attraction (alone), literally was "Hangin' Downtown" Chicago & this was my ANTHEM. LOL

Cameo song "I Just Want To Be" that's de joint!.
Sooo many dope cuts by Cameo. But “Hanging Downtown” and “Feel Me” are two are my FAVORITE underrated jammy jams.
By the way, if I’m not mistaken, the model on the She’s Strange album cover was a Soul Train dancer.
@SoulTrainFans
check out their song Love You Anyway
Alligator Woman. Title track. One of their most interesting songs in my opinion.
Cameo produced Bobby Brown's very first song...'Girl next door'
this jam is super
Group Home - Supa Star (sample from the beginning of "Hangin' Downtown")
Yeah, I called it.
YES!
Zameo - word up
Alligator Woman is I very interesting song.
If you wanna get a true read on the range of Cameo please listen to "The Knights of the Sound Table". It's an instrumental track that rivals EWF for musicianship and groove
The while album is great.
stanx 4 the reaction JJ!classic cut with Tomi,Nathan & Larry on vocalz,,my Guyz!!!
Vanity on the cover!!
RIP Vanity
This was the shit yo
LARRY BLACKMON PRODUCTION
Do love you anyway, same album.
I am blown away by this young man’s appreciation for the music but it makes me curious do the young folks not write music anymore....? Is everything just samples now...? This is what music lessons were for on Saturdays. I been playing sax for decades.
Cameo - shes strange
Already did that one.
JJ u need to check out Cameo song Flirt definitely a head banger.
Great song. Not a mainstream one, but one of their best ! Do Jazz/fusion/R&B Jeff Lorber ua-cam.com/video/w4isWrAwRBA/v-deo.html Great bassline and synths.
Check out Attack me with your love and I Just Want To Me
