@@moniquescarlett6936 I never said they weren't great, I'm speaking from what I know and have heard. You're fortunate to have seen them at the location which they performed. Not everyone have that luxury.
Cameo goes hard!! They should have a whole genre just called “Cameo”... They were obscurely off the wall! Cameo is always on my playlist crusin low and slow in my M30 on Crenshaw...
45 years since Summer '79 I just Want To Be....Cameo is One of One Cameo Confunkshun Lakeside kinda succeeded Ohio Players Isleys EWF all bands with great funk Soul and or love Ballads Cameo has some of the best ballads as does everyone of the other groups and I love em all!!...Thank God we still have free fast access to this incredible music
Because the industry wants to steal it later because they know how the younger folks coming out now I don't know anything about this so they can make money after the royalties or whatever kind of paperwork expires they can steal can use music and reproduce it and put it back out like it's their own that's what thats all about
The world has been on a Cameo revival lately from having their songs featured more in commercials to being remade by other musicians...im lovin they are finally getting their flowers while they’re alive
I remember watching this on BET when I was 15 or so. We had just finally gotten a color TV and cable. Cameo was so talented, innovative and creative throughout their entire career.
Weren’t those the days-when we first got color tv’s, got a tv with a remote!, first saw music videos-I was obsessed with ALL. video shows, lol-and first saw all these cool videos from groups like Cameo. The 80s was an era of some of the best music everrrrr.
im 47 I remember when this came out. You are very right- we won't hear a group like this again unless its hipster white kids totally doing a cameo rip off! I would hate to see it- but if it made more people realize what amazing song writers they were- as well as how far ahead of their time they were( a lot of bands on alternative rock radio sound like more like this than Nirvana or the Red Hot Chili Peppers in 2016) it would be worth it. But I will smack a mother fucker who says OWWWWW on stage all the time if I see him on the street!!!
The 80's R&B groups sound so good. I wish real music could make a strong come back today. Cameo music is a prime example of what professional music should sound like in this era.
My mom raised us on Cameo, Earth Wind and Fire. This was back when record players and vinyl was still around. I'll never forget my first record player. Good Times!!
Because more ppl started killing and selling dope...and the industry controlled what was popular not the artist. Might as well ask how did we go from black neighborhoods with 2 parents to single mothers
This is an EPIC tune by one of the most creative & intelligent bands ever. Attack Me With Your Love is another favourite. There's a hell a lot more to Cameo than Candy.
Francille St. Claire I agree Candy is another one of my favorites as well & it went over a lot of people's heads cause the song is really about cocaine haha I love all their songs & they all have subliminal meanings
Francille St. Claire I know ur right still single life one of my fav video but it's something bout this tune jus grab u I'm 40 and my daddy use to play the hell out this while me and my brother sit in da back seat dam time flies
It almost don't matter if they're inducted anymore because there's so many lame, overrated acts in the Rock Hall Of Fame. And Cameo doesn't need induction to validate their greatness but it still would be nice for them.
Absolutely legendary. I pay homage to the oldschool without them we wouldn't even be here. This track takes me back to when my oldest brother used to do donuts in the middle of the street ,& smoke the tires on his 1974 ,5 speed 350 badass Camaro. Back in 1985. I was 6 years old
God I'd forgotten just how brilliant this tune is. Popped up as recommended when watching Full Force. Had this album on vinyl. Think I might have to go and listen to it after a 30 year absence...
Ahh music playing with the smell of bbq at the family cook out. Your about 5-6 just living life innocently without a care in the world! These are the types of memories these jams bring back!
Cameo is a legendary band. The can do it all. Bangers, slow jams, funk, hip hop, soul, socially conscious, jazz, funky new wave ie. Alligator Woman. They need to be inducted to the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in my opinion. Also Larry Blackmon is one of the most underrated producers ever.
I was listening to these Cameo songs way back in my teens. I loved them then, and i love them now. just makes me wanna dance! Truly great music. Awesome!!
There is so much about this video that I absolutely love and it always, always puts a smile on my face. Larry Blackmon is amazing...such an original and humorously crazy.
2023 anybody that knows good music will always be here and Cameo I ain’t going nowhere until God call me home!!! Well done you guys are amazing and always will be!!!!!!!🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️

Greatest hits in da deck in da whip.
Cameo should be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.
I'm late, but frak yes!
What cameo are not inducted well the hall of fame is the hall of shame
I AGREE TOTALLY💪🏽💪🏽💯💯💯
Yess!
That's not rock and roll
This group never got the recognition it should have!! They were great!!!
I don’t even think they have been on Unsung! Just terrible!
Sure I GAVE IT
You need to correct that they still are great seen them a couple years back and they're still great

Not were, but is EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!
Nobody even talks about cameo ! They was so ahead their time. He inspired rappers in the 80s and nineties to wear flat top haircuts!
people that know. Know!.this guy Larry Blackmon is a genius.. a real pioneer
I really miss Cameron I got to meet Larry and got a autograph I was only 17 then.

I am an 80s baby and my mom played this song all the time. I would dance to it.
Nice but I like it
She's strange alright, but I'd still freak her. xD

40 years ago and still kickin, some things never get old.
I bought their fist album in 1976

For my money, one of the most innovative bands of all time.
Went from 10 or 11 guys down to 5 or 6 and kept rockin!
Come on playa kick it!!!!
One of the most underrated groups of the 80's.
Cameo was never underrated
Cameo was and is very much loved
Only Underrated by Fools.
9 x gold and one time platinum records from the 70s until the 90s. Yep, the most underrated group of the 80s. Moron.
Maybe in some communities
This song is STILL amazing after all these years! The beat is bananas! The extended version with the vocals is smooth! Luv my Cameo!
Yep, the 12inch mix kills it! Peace and luv from da uk sis!
Totally agree.. still enduring and love the strange attack me with your love single life remix
Simmons electronic drums beat
Right on
I was 14 or 15 when my mom boyfriend introduced me to Cameo....I been Cameoes evea aince
Why don't mainstream radio stations play songs like this anymore Cameo so underrated this record was straight 🔥 🔥 🔥
Because the industry wants to steal it later because they know how the younger folks coming out now I don't know anything about this so they can make money after the royalties or whatever kind of paperwork expires they can steal can use music and reproduce it and put it back out like it's their own that's what thats all about
Because the world has become soulless end times bro!
@@12tribes61 straight fact
Because mainstream radio is lazy and it's about programming mindsets. i.e. Sexy Redd.
Such a shame we can't have good black music anymore.
Really?😮But we're still sharing it on here, right?😉♪ I really love 80's & 90's black music better than nowadays.
not listening enough, but i dont blame you og
One of the greatest music groups of any type of music! Classic !!!!
This song is proof that 1983 and 1984 were two of the best years ever for music. (Recorded 1983, released at the start of 1984).
I remember when this came out my older sister would bump this all the time.
Agreed
Yeah!!!!! Local, National and International!
C/O 1984 here you just might be right.
You are absolutely right
He raps much better than a full time rapper - this is musical muscle 🤗👍🤸🏻♀️
Yes I can understand every word.
Rare nowadays to be able to understand what the hell they're singing or saying.
This song gave me so much confidence. I was clumsy and awkward. I was strange and it is ok! My favorite song by Cameo!
Word up
KEEP YA HEAD UP LIL'SISTA...KEEP LOVING JAH N YOURSELF....
Me too! A Strange girl anthem!
Aw I Love that!
Trust me Jodeci did same for me so i understand
Cameo didn't make videos,they made movies...Epic.
+Will Tha Great A era that lives in all of us that lived them!
yes!!!so proud that even in the 80's a blk woman was the lead video gal.:-)!!!! nice and brown at that..
To think.....this was back in the day when videos were a relatively new format. They actually took it to new levels conceptually in my opinion.
The 80s video are more creative artistically than any other era.
EVERY TIME SOMETHING FOR EVERYBODY!!!
That bass line tho 🔥😬
Samething I’m sayeen
Me too!😃😎🎯💯👏👏👏👏
Iconic. Cannot be mistaken for any other song.
I believe Larry Blackmon composed the bassline, and Michael Burnett (RIP) played it on the recording.
Charlie Singleton maybe
The world has been on a Cameo revival lately from having their songs featured more in commercials to being remade by other musicians...im lovin they are finally getting their flowers while they’re alive
Indeed and I would luv to give u yo flowers moma!!!
Seriously! Hahaha! Shame on Tracy Morgan for his SNL skit, but, Lord, was it FUNNY!!!!
Cameo is absolutely in the TOP 50 of all time.
In 80’s this song use to thump out of everybody’s cars, Big caddies and buick’s regale man it wasn’t all bad
Fuck yeah love it
@Lee Morton I heard Grace Jones
I remember watching this on BET when I was 15 or so. We had just finally gotten a color TV and cable. Cameo was so talented, innovative and creative throughout their entire career.
they where awesome !
I remember watching this on Video Music box over 20 years ago.
We're definitely past being excited about Color TVs & Cable right ???
Or are we still here ???

U remember the floor model....VCRs...haaaa!
29 years old and I bump this song alllll the time! It's only right, I was raised on this shit!
You have to, man. Cameo is just on another level that we'll never hear again. They unique as hell!

I agree
The beat is knocking - I had to kill it!

Been @ work, singing this in public, the whole shift, "🎶& i like it", one of those addictive grooves
That synth is straight up raw on this track!
Nothing like eighties...
Wonderful track.......

CAMEO jams hard, their signature sound is a mix of R & B, PUNK ROCK and FUNK. You can safely say CAMEO is STRANGE but...I LIKE IT!! 🤪💯😜
And I like it

No idea
Because more ppl started killing and selling dope...and the industry controlled what was popular not the artist. Might as well ask how did we go from black neighborhoods with 2 parents to single mothers
This group was timeless funk Rnb. This the Jam
Larry Blackmon's jheri curl was on point.
Curtis Blowish
Epic
Yep Eazy and Cube both obviously got their hairstyle from Larry Blackmon.
Chauntel Shannon unfortunately that was the style many people had 😩
Look more like a Quadra curl. 😃 Not as wet and drippy as I recall.

Hell's to tha YAZZ!!💯

And single life. .anybody?
Word up lol
I Love Cameo and Larry Blackmon , a 80's Band . . Good Music nothing like Old School Music ....
Yeah. This song is so dope. Str8 up funk for a good minute and starts rapping then starts singing.
This takes me back to when i was a teenager, staying up late watching music videos,Friday and Saturday nights. Lol, didn't know how good i had it.
Putting it on repeat. Gets better every time ❤
Truth
Cameo is one of the most funky band in the 80's✌️
Cameo is all about real funk and old school music 🎶🎼🎵 Cameo will someday be inducted into Rock and Roll 🎸 Hall of Fame…
It almost don't matter if they're inducted anymore because there's so many lame, overrated acts in the Rock Hall Of Fame. And Cameo doesn't need induction to validate their greatness but it still would be nice for them.
Yes sir, the best in my book!
The staccato keyboard chords, the palm muted guitar riff and the slap bass guitar at 01:35 to 01:36 is fecking amazing.
Where have these days gone? I miss this music.. This time and era so muchhhh
The 'Sound' of 80"s youth. How many 90's HIPHOP Artists have sampled them.
Legendary!!!!!!!
2pac...not sure who else did
❤@@sexymf5120nate dogg, wu tang clan probably alot more
"Walking down the avenue....." Don't know why that was favorite part as a kid.
Absolutely legendary. I pay homage to the oldschool without them we wouldn't even be here. This track takes me back to when my oldest brother used to do donuts in the middle of the street ,& smoke the tires on his 1974 ,5 speed 350 badass Camaro. Back in 1985. I was 6 years old
the way this is shot, the sepia tone in the beginning, makes it even more nostalgic.
This was one of the coolest songs in 1985
U damn right bout that! They should be inducted into the hall of fame! Had nothing but hits after hits. They deserve so much recognition.
I still listen to this on cassette on a Walkman now and then. Thirty years later and they both still work. Damn I'm old!🙄
God I'd forgotten just how brilliant this tune is. Popped up as recommended when watching Full Force. Had this album on vinyl. Think I might have to go and listen to it after a 30 year absence...
U keep on putting this on repeat and it gets better every time
Cameo was so damn badass. They had that hard funk, incorporated hiphop without sounding corny, pulled all the ladies, and they could ROCK!
I saw these guys in concert a couple of times, and they never fail to disappoint. They are the ultimate performers.
So did I at the Hammersmith Palais in London, supporting the release of this Album. When they played this the audience took the roof off!
er, Kelly, I don't think that sentence means what you intended it to.
You so lucky
