When Cameo first hit the scene, Wayne Cooper was the lead singer. After his death, (replacing Wayne Cooper’s voice would be impossible, as we see on all their future albums and current concerts) he put his vocal DNA on this song, making it almost impossible to duplicate by anyone: However, Phillip Bailey of Earth, Wind and Fire, could probably give this song, the best shot in a remix ….I would love to hear him try. RIP Wayne Cooper.

Hmm they really BUTCHERED A CLASSIC Damn!!!!

goodness gracious, people....LET IT GO! Wayne Cooper is no longer with us! R.I.P. give it a rest and let it rest. Singleton's a good tenor and oerformed admirally on Cameo songs, specifically the "Feel Me" and "Knights of the Sound Table" LPs. it's 20+ yrs later! noe of the tenors can still hit the same notes!

@ugmvideo IF CAMEO continues to refuse to perform the song or get a singer that can actually sing the song and do the song justice CAMEO fans will simply stop coming to their shows. CAMEO has to think about their fans instead of the bottom line, the bottom line here is that if CAMEO continues to perform like this with amateur vocals and refuse to hire singers that can perform the songs professionally CAMEO fans will abandon them . People wanna hear the songs done professionally.

@ugmvideo I can appreciate your views on this brah . However CAMEO has done themselves a great disservice in not only refusing to perform this song after Cooper's untimely death, but in performing the song without a singer that can sing it. Listen, CAMEO only hurts themselves by not performing one of their best if not BEST SONGS they ever did. Audiences are not gonna tolerate CAMEO refusing to perform this song. They would get booed off the stage its CAMEO'S REPUTATION AT STAKE HERE

CAMEO should audition Oliver Hollingsworth and Bruce Dorsey to sing these songs-This performance with all due respect to Singleton and Jenkins is atrocious very unprofessional and amateur like. The backing vocals are decent Jenkins vocal parts are good then Singleton begins and its like ARE YOU JOKING? Are you seriously gonna embarrass yourselves like this?
Its very unprofessional for Blackman and Jenkins not to audition singers for this song to tour with C'mon brothas this aint cool

I love these guys...real troopers of the music industry...

You know what's the WEIRDEST, STRANGEST thing...((besides this hideously sung song))?!? I can't find a THING written specifically about the late, great, Wayne Cooper! It's like his life had no meaning enough for a personal recognition and timeline of his life...and death. I thought I had found a site (famous singers who died of AIDS) that would...and out of all the people listed (even Sylvester was listed)...the ONLY thing was his name. The whole article was about CAMEO w/no mention of him!



OK guys and gals thank you for your comments. I take pride in video tapping live concerts and performances. And this one is very special. Regardless of Singleton voice, he's a cool down to earth dude. Thank Cameo for doing this song. Cause in the past they didn't perform this song in concert. Think about the memories and sing along. Enjoy! -Phil
