Nice interview with music singer Tomi Jenkins of Cameo. Cameo, The Jacksons(RIP Michael Jackson), Luther Vandross(RIP), Vanity(RIP), Florence Ballard of The Supremes(RIP), Zapp(RIP Roger Troutman), Midnight Star, R Kelly, Beyonce Knowles are my favorite black music singers. My favorite Cameo albums are Feel Me, Alligator Woman, She's Strange, Single Life, Word Up.
Correction: That vocalist was Larry Blackmon. In 1974, the ex-Juilliard student and New York City club-goer instigated a funk band with a membership of 13 called the New York City Players. Blackmon, Tomi Jenkins, and Nathan Leftenant formed the group's nucleus. The Casablanca label signed the group to their Chocolate City offshoot, and shortly after that, the group changed its name to Cameo. Their excellent debut album, 1977's Cardiac Arrest, was highlighted by four singles. Three of those hit the Billboard R&B chart: "Rigor Mortis" (number 33), "Funk Funk" (number 20), and "Post Mortem" (number 70). Although the group was clearly inspired by elder funk groups like Parliament, Funkadelic, and the Ohio Players, Cardiac Arrest made Cameo's case for belonging in the same division an open-and-shut one. Past members include Tomi Jenkins Nathan Leftenant Jeryl Bright Gregory B. Johnson Arnett Leftenant Charlie Singleton Robert Branch Kenni Hairston Michael Burnett Thomas Campbell Wayne Cooper Merve de Peyer Gary Dow Eric Durham Gregory Johnson Kurt Jeter John Kellogg Kevin Kendrick Damon Mendes Stephen Moore William Morris Eric Nelson William Revis Charles Sampson Robert L. Smith Melvin Wells Paul Andrews Azza Meah Arnold Ramsey Dominic Christie Harold Gander Pat Buchanan. Although the group has since split we must not ever forget the original members who put there blood and sweat into the creation of “ Cameo”.
One of the tightest bands ever vocally and musically when you think of funk you can't help but hear cameo they are untouchable and unpresidented keep on funkin✌🤜🤛
Be you Be unique Be creative Be smart...Thank you so much Tomi you are a godsend...Love you and Cameo. everything you have said resonates positivity and generates success I LOVE YOU....

A funk master in Dayton to promote museum wdtn.com/2016/06/16/a-funk-master-in-dayton-to-promote-museum/ via @WDTN DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) - The Funk Music Hall of Fame and Exhibition Center in Dayton has some big supporters. Thursday, they hosted a very special guest: funk music legend Gary “Mudbone” Cooper. He has worked with Bootsy Collins, Mick Jagger, Prince and Bono. He is a champion of the museum, and is helping make the Gem City the place to enshrine funk music and its vast contributions. He joined the CEO of the museum, David Webb, on Five on 2 Thursday to talk about the importance of having the center here.
Unfortunately Wayne Cooper, who was from Poughkeepsie, NY, passed away from AIDS many years ago. He had a falling out with Larry Blackmon, who was allegedly jealous of his vocal prowess and the thunderous responses he received from audiences. After Wayne, Blackmon took the front because in his view Cameo was his band and no one was going to overshadow him.
I remember Wayne at rehearsals . He was full of life and an outstanding singer. When he sang you could see the audience just rise. Yes his vocals couldn’t be touched by anyone. I was a kid at the time and I remember just that. He always spoke to me with a smile. That’s what I remember about him. He passed with grace and dignity!!!
