Larry Blackmon and his Cameo mates ruled funk’s domain for over a decade. Cameo evolved from its origins as a horn-based and dominated ensemble into a synthesizer-oriented group that still featured sturdy basslines and exuberant vocals, but was in tune with urban and black America’s new sensibility. These 14 selections range from the formative cuts “Rigor Mortis,” “Shake Your Pants,” and “It’s Over” to the definitive “Word Up,” “Candy,” and “Back and Forth.” Blackmon’s alternately sneering, defiant, and aggressive vocals were the constant from Cameo’s beginnings in the 1970s to their emergence as funk’s reigning champions in the 1980s. – Ron Wynn
