Cameo: Cameosis / Feel Me, Two Albums On One CD

• Two classic Cameo albums on one

• Both of these albums were certified Gold in America

• Both originally released in 1980, ‘Cameosis’ featured the Top 10 R&B single ‘Shake Your Pants’ and the Top 15 R&B hit ‘We’re Going Out Tonight’.

• This re issue also features as a bonus track the 7” version of ‘Shake Your Pants’.

The ‘Feel Me’ album featured the Top 5 R&B hit ‘Keep It Hot’ and the single ‘Feel Me’.‘Cameosis’ even reached #25 in the Billboard Top 200 pop albums chart, their highest chart position since the Band’s launch in 1977. And the beginning of a chart run that would see Cameo become one of the greatest Funk/Pop bands of the 80s. Cameo’s style was very much in the Funk mould, and the group were as highly regarded as Parliament, Funkadelic, Bar-Kays, Ohio Players, Earth, Wind & Fire, Slave, The Isley Brothers, and Rick James, etc.

This re-issue features sleeve notes from Charles Waring with special thanks to Cameo’s Tomi Jenkins for his recollections of these wonderful albums. Charles is a contributor to MOJO and Record Collector.
