My last favorite funk band coming out of the 70s is doing alright in the 80s, compared to Parliament/Funkadelic and Slave, anyway. Cameo’s sound is changing in the 80s as reflected by the smaller band line up and a more electronic sound. A lot of people became familiar with Cameo for the first time when Word Up came out. I suppose the music industry blessed Larry Blackmon with a major label deal when most of the other funk bands were out of luck and going out of business.
