Cameo

Good God, who remembers this goodie from the 80s???!!! Cameo was soul-influenced funk group that was formed in the early 1970s. Cameo was initially a 13-member group known as the New York City Players; this name was later changed to Cameo to avoid a lawsuit from The Ohio Players, another group from that era. Cameo was most remembered by the tracks Word Up! and Back & Forth, as well as their provoking but comically funny red rubber jock-strap. Some of the original members continue to perform together, while two others were hired by the hip hop group Outkast.
