Everybody in my household loved Cameo. I am still a fan of some of their tunes because of the nostalgia...but after growing up and really listening to some of their lyrics...homeboys were straight faggeatho. STRAIGHT faggeatho.
So much cool music in the 80's. Waaay too many good memories clubbing in L.A. All the honeys both black and white got down to these tunes. I miss my youth but glad I lived it.
Great track from a classic album. All you true funksters out there will be pleased to know that larry b, tomi jenkins, charlie singleton, Aaron mills still work together today. Cameo are & have been in the studio to unleash a double cd album early part of 2012, there first album since 2000. Saw them live twice in 2009 & had the great pleasure to meet all of them in amsterdam. Legends
In 1974, Larry Blackmon compiled 20 members and signed a 20 member band to Casablanca Records. I Just Want To Be and Find My Way, both receiving considerable airplay. It was different as Funk was just catching on.. It wasn't until CAMEOSIS came out with Shake Your Pants that Cameo gained the acceptance they were looking for.When BACK $ FORTH came out that the group had whittled down to 3: Blackmon, Charlie Singleton and Tomi Jenkins. Sadly, these 3 have gone separate ways. A casualty of time.
This video won me over as soon as a red codpiece came flyin at me. If the 80s were literally like this video, I'd spend all my time researching quantum mechanics, trying to turn my car into a time machine.
The lady in the yellow bikini is there for a scare tactic! LOL Oh, and only Nona Hendryx can still rock these hairstyles with perfect precision today!
"There's a special kind of person... sometimes she's not all she seems...." MAN I LOVE CAMEO. They were so f----g real with the lyrics.... This song is the truth. Gotta love the kids at the table...HEY! WAS THAT MILE DAVIS? Daaaaayum! I miss the 80's and Video Soul.
@Kai3807 Wow that's crazy. I didn't know that. Cool to see a real working jazz musician appreciating funk music, because it gets criticized by lots of jazz heads. Thanks for the history. Peace.

The video makes the song seem like a joke. I heard this on the radio and it is sick sans video. Just minimize the window when you open this and enjoy.
@TheMeMarvin ....the 80s was a weird time, fam....There was this androgyny phase, especially in rock, where a lot of dudes dressed like girls....It was more about pushing boundaries, because that shit used to piss off intolerant people and middle America. Wasnt necessarily gay, because rock groups and artists like Cameo and Prince were slayin hoes all day. Artistry shit.
The guitarist at 3:07 bursting through the door...maybe he was hating on the singer 'cause he had a girl....still hilarious after 20 years...love thier 80's videos...serious and funny
@jtmoney2000 ....good call. Them thangs was a jiggling something fierce. More importantly she was fine as hell. I dont blame old boy for dragging her around by the hand... That video had some pretty ass sistas in there for sure.
check out 3:02; the girl in the cow-print jacket walked right in between the choreography already in progress and went straight to the bar...only to engage in her own dance! hahahahahahahaha i LOVE this video!!!!
dont care if gay or not, great Funk !!!
