Cameo - Gold

Reissue. Two CDs. This Gold compilation runs chronological and contains at least one song from each of the bands' first fourteen albums released from 1977 until 1990, shortly after their highest commercial peak. The first part focuses on the band's early days as a multi-piece funk powerhouse. These early years contains "Rigor Mortis", the lengthy near-instrumental jam of "It's Serious", the dancefloor classics "I Just Want to Be" and "Shake Your Pants", and the wonderful ballads "Sparkle" and "We're Going Out Tonight". The second part builds up to more excitement, as the music transitions into electronic territory and the string of hit singles that Cameo will forever be best known for such as "She's Strange", "Single Life", "Word Up", and "Candy" to name a few.
