    the lead singer, who is FIRE, is Larry Blackmon and the singer that is falsetto, who stands out to me personally, is Charlie Singleton this song is SO SWEET! Word Up is nice but this one sticks with you! I'm glad you're getting to more of my suggestions!
    I heard of the High Top Fade and Boxcut both I went to middle school and high school with a predominantly African-American class in the 2000s into the 2010s and I'm white so I saw those styles every day! they never went out of style! I loved seeing them!

    The earlier Cameo albums had several lead singers, the band had 10 or 11 members then. The lead here is Larry Blackmon who is also the drummer and founder of Cameo. Larry Blackmon, Larry Dodson (lead singer of the Bar-Kays), & Commodores era Lionel Richie all got part of their vocal style from Sugarfoot of the Ohio Players. Since Jay has said he likes falsetto, Wayne Cooper of the original lineup of Cameo does that. Some Cameo songs you can hear Wayne is "We're Going Out Tonight", "Shake Your Pants", & "Why Have I Lost You"

    First time I ever heard this was about 6 years ago in a club in south London, it was playing when I got through the door and the dancefloor was in pure synchronisation. I'd never seen anything like it. About 50 people. The song was blowing my mind at the same time, esp with the little guitar solo hitting out of nowhere
    Obviously I joined in, and then later on spotted someone who was in there and got the name of the track off them.

    Larry Blackmon, the lead singer, is wearing what's called a codpiece. He explained its origin in a radio interview. When he was outfitted for the “Word Up” video, he was dressed in black spandex - “As usual,” as he bemoaned. After slipping into that famed one-piece, he was handed a box and peeked inside.
    “Then I shut the box really fast,” Blackmon said. “Inside was this red cup. I said, ‘I’m not wearing this!’ But they talked me into it, and it has become famous around the world. I am asked about it all the time.”

    I was just looking at your reaction to Word Up yesterday hoping that you would come back and watch Candy. Cameo has always had the kind of Punk Funk type vibe. She's Strange will be the third one you want to watch. As for Candy, Mariah Carey took the sample for her song Loverboy from the Glitter Soundtrack. Also, that red jock strap worn by the lead singer is a staple for Cameo's stage act. That whistle sound that you hear is on a lot of their records.

    Cameo is one of the greatest R&B/Funk bands ever! You should react to some of their 80s classics.

    Larry Blackmon is the lead singer. My first Cameo song was "I Just Want To Be" in '79! Ya gotta hear it! --Also, Shake Your Pants, Alligator Woman, You Make Me Work, Single Life, etc....

    Larry Blackmon is everything. The entire group is fire. When you go down that rabbit hole and really check them out you will see what we all mean. I think that they go back to 1974. Telling you guys about them is not the same as experiencing them.

    Love Cameo! Back and forth, Attack me with your love, flirt, single life were some of my favorites too.

    Cameo has a bunch of funky hits if you want to go down that rabbit hole. Next up should be “Shake Your Pants”. Another great funky band from that era is Con Funk Shun.

    Back in the day, a lot of these funk songs were great line dance songs. Picture a gym full of kids at a prom doing the same one dance. So much fun!

    Yay! Another one that I suggested. I jam to this song several times a month as part of my exercise/dance routine. 😃
    Larry Blackmon is wearing a red codpiece, which is his signature accessory. I thought you mentioned in another video that we explained it in the comments. 🤔
    Check out their songs...
    "Back and Forth"
    "Don't Be Lonely"
    "Attack Me With Your Love"
    "She's Strange"

    Fun funky band. Love their style and their sound. The bass is incredible. What he is wearing is called a Cod-piece (slang for scrotum). It was actually a European fashion item during the 15th-16th century but brought back with 80's flair. As they say, everything comes back around...lol.

    1987 in high school for our senior year my brother and I bumped this out of our truck. He’s still in music now as a producer currently with two Grammy awards. I went on to become a Cardiopulmonary Practitioner.

    With Cameo you can go back before this and check out "I Just Wanna Be" when Cameo had around 11 band members. This particular song "Candy" is special to me I met my now wife dancing to this song. 3 kids & 30+ years together we're still together.

    I can't believe anybody on Earth hasn't heard this yet! Don't children come to life knowing this song? 😅
    I've heard this is so many movies, TV shows, in shopping malls, wedding receptions... It is a good thing the song is FIRE because I previously thought you'd find it hard to avoid it anywhere!

    It makes me feel so old but also delighted to see young people enjoying the music I danced to as a small child. My dad LOVED Cameo
