Editorial Reviews

CD Description
Cameo had one of the longest-running and most mercurial careers of any funk band in the '70s and '80s. Not coincidentally, they were also one of the most inventive, effortlessly bridging the gaps between hard, sweaty funk, lithe R&B charm,and edgy, rock-tinged New Wave (especially in their '80s incarnation as a three-piece). The two-disc GOLD does a superbjob of offering the band a well-deserved retrospective, reaching back to 1977's "Rigor Mortis" and continuing all the way through 1988's "I Want It Now".
Cameo first albums were cut as a 13-piece in the mold of slinky funk acts like Parliament and the Ohio Players. Under the guidance of singer/frontman Larry Blackmon, Cameo evolved over the course of thedecade, slimming down and pushing its sound from by-the-numbers rump-shakers to irresistibly quirky jams like "Don't BeSo Cool" at the dawn of the '80s. Soon, Cameo alighted uponthe freaky, keyboard-dominated sound that would bring them their greatest success, a phase best represented by the swirling, atmospheric "She's Strange" and the sassy punch of "Word Up", the band's signature song. Cameo is often overlookedin the pantheon of influential funk acts, but the breadth and quality of GOLD should correct that mistake.
