CAMEO - "Knights Of The Sound Table" (Chocolate City 1981)


Another funk band capable of so much more than most people realize. Even the "Word Up!" album is great and the follow up "Machismo" is a must have if you thought it all died after "Single Life". Before the band diet and adding Charlie Singleton to the line up they were 8-10 member on 7 records in a row with Larry Blackmon as the leader. I'd like to show a side of Cameo that was not just pure funk."The Sound Table" is proof they could rival even the biggest commercial success in Black Music at the time - Earth, Wind & Fire - and still be exciting. Jazzy and wonderful!
