Old School Saturdays--Cameo
“Single Life,” “Word up,” and “Candy,” have any idea what group created these hits?? You’re right, Cameo, the funk-infused R&B group formed in the 70s.
Cameo, created in 1974, by former Julliard student and New York area clubgoer, Larry Blackmon, started out with 23 members and was called the New York Players. After concerns that people would get the group mixed up with the popular group the Ohio Players, in 1976, they renamed the group to Cameo. They released several albums between 1977-2000 on various labels including Chocolate City, Atlanta Artists, Mercury, and Reprise. In addition, Cameo released 16 compilation albums between 1992-2006.
I’ve put together a playlist of Cameo songs I’m sure you’ll enjoy.

My computer does not play music but I'm sure that would be fun. Its hard to listen to Cameo and without a cheesy grin, "just like candy...'
@llnl, i agree. it's hard to listen to cameo and not grin. plus, my good friend loves the song "candy" so when i hear it i think about her singing it loud and in the wrong key. lol.
