The Best Of Cameo: 20th Century Masters Of The Millennium Collection [Digipak]

Performer: Cameo
Distributor: Universal Distribution

Notes: Cameo includes: Larry Blacmon, Tomi Jenkins, Charles Singleton, Nathan Leftenant. Producer: Larry Blackmon. Compilation producer: Harry Weinger. Includes liner notes by Tom Terrell. Digitally remastered by Suha Gur (Universal Mastering). This is part of MCA's 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection series. Cameo's volume of Universal's 20th Century Masters series is first-rate, containing most of the cuts a casual fan needs, including all their biggest pop crossover hits: "She's Strange," "Word Up," "Candy," and "Back and Forth." There may be several singles missing and it's not nearly as far-reaching as the Best Of compilations, but for anyone looking for a concise hits collection, this is a nice choice. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

This New York funk group, led by drummer/singer Larry Blackmon, began recording in the mid-1970s, but didn't reach its peak of popularity until the 1986 hit "Word Up," which defined Cameo's angular, synth-laced sound. Blackmon's outrageous stage persona and the group's simple hooks were key elements to the band's success.
