Retro Spins: Cameo - Word Up!

 

Come on, who doesn't love Cameo's Word Up!? I mean, just look at the video...Oh...And that bright red codpiece. Hmm....

...What the heck is going on in this video? Of course there are police officers who break out and dance at the end. That makes sense. Yeah, no.

Okay, so let's focus on the album itself. Maybe that's a bit better.

You know what? It's not bad. The entire album has a funky groove to it, some great tracks, and most importantly, they're pretty good. I actually ended up adding three tracks to my play list. Word Up! was of course one of them. The other was Candy and You Can Have The World.

The album intrigued me enough that I wanted to go in search of Cameo albums. This is where my mind was totally blown! Not only have they been releasing albums since 1977, but continued to do so through 2000! 2007 if you count their live albums. Holy smokes!

I'm definitely going to have to dig into their discography a bit more and see if there are other songs I like from them. I guess I'll work my way back through the 80's from this album and see where that lands me. Until then, that wraps up this post.
