Larry Blackmon, a uniquely voiced NYC singer, leads a funky NYC band that raised 1980s roofs. An outlandish, in-your-face stage presence, a strange sense of humor, and a hard-driving funk sound that criss-crossed a few musical boundaries earned Cameo countless comparisons to Parliament/Funkadelic in their early days. Cameo eventually overcame any accusations of being derivative, transcending all their influences and outlasting nearly every one. The group was a force to be reckoned with in the ’70s and the ’80s.
