5.0 out of 5 stars this Set has the Funk, March 25, 2006
oh back in the 80's I was grooving to alot of Cameo. Cameo was pretty much keeping the Funk Alive past 1985. Cameo always had the Jams."Attack me with your Love", I Just want to be,Word Up,Candy,etc.... you always knew a Cameo Groove&they were One of the Few Funk Acts that didn't get burried by Hip-Hop. in fact for a while Cameo was hanging with Hip-Hop&Embracing the Beats.I dig Cameo the most from 79-86.oh the days of buying there albums&also Larry Blackmon's side Protege acts on Atlanta Artist records were the days.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cameo's Definitive Collection Treat , April 10, 2009
By Marlon "Marlon" (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
I have always liked Cameo and this CD does not disappoint me! I am impressed by the selections in this CD. Cameo has so many songs until it can be a real task selected popular known songs compared to ones inside of the many previous albums. I am impressed by this CD and will enjoy it always!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent! Heavy on funk numbers from that era! , April 4, 2006
I think that this is one of the best Cameo compilations out there, even better than Anthology! They smartly chose the group's best songs, even mixing it up to keep the funk sound fluid all throughout as well as the few ballads. How Word Up weaves into Single Life is astounding! Rigor Mortis from 1977 blends well with the next 80s song. She's Strange was very chance taking as well as Attack Me with Your Love. I still love Candy. But Cameo can be smooth on ballads like Sparkle and Why Have I Lost You. They were known to recycle the last album's grooves onto the next album between 1982 and 1988. One correction, even though they had to get the CD out--Word Up is from 1986, not 1987 and Machismo is from 1988. Larry Blackmon is such a funk visionary, much like James Brown and George Clinton and he knew how he wanted his band to sound. They got better musically when the band went from 13 to 3 members. This CD fully covers the band's unbelievable run of hits. So get ready to turn this one up for an upcoming summer cookout!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great songs here :-)
Cameo are a great group but I think they were totally underrated. I love Attack Me With Your Love and Word Up. They are still songs I listen to over and over. Read more
