      True. I remember as a kid, I saw Larry blackmon in a music studio, playing drums, singing a MOVING love song, in a haste,, just to put on some album. It was pretty. I heard it once, and was hoping to hear it when it came out. I'm not sure it was for a Cameo Album. It seemed to b done just to load on some album. I still think about that song. I never heard it again in THAT incarnation. This was 1981.

  • @sismeo1
    @sismeo1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +49

    Larry Blackmon was an underrated drummer. He developed an unique playing style. Being a vocalist as well as a drummer his drumming was not the typical rythm section but was also a melodic section. In songs like "I just want to be", "Better days", " She's Strange" , "Word up"...The drums are literally singing the songs.

I just wished they would have performed more of the late 70's stuff including this one, Shake Your Pants, and Rigor Mortis. But having said that, I am probably going back to see them in late November with my brother.

Rumor is that a LOT if not all these funk seekers and delivers who was killing funk,then Prince came on the scene only being one man with the ability to play over a dozen instruments! It was pissing funk lords off like Larry Blackmon and Rick James,Brick-Slave- even Quincy Jones! R.I.P Prince 💜 and much love to Cameo💜
    They end with:Music is here for everyone! Just to dance just to have some fun! JUST BECAUSE WE DID IT FIRST DOESNT MEAN WE CANT HAVE SOME MORE.

      @@mookeychase0907 I’m a Bassist. Funk is based off a funky Bass riff. Ohio was good but name one song that puts them in the top funk category! None. Cedric Martin of ConFunkShun, gave us countless bass funk riffs. Sorry bro, you won’t win this one😊love roller coaster was good but didn’t launch them into top funk!

      @@cccalll You must not have read my whole comment I clearly said sike and that Confunkshun had more work than Ohio Players but TOP would represent..at the same time you're disrespecting Marshall Jones(Rock) like he was some sort of TH-cam bass player.. Fire and Skintight start off with two of the funkiest bass rifts ever which is why they were #1 hits Rollercoaster has a helluva rift also Funky worm was another #1 hit I wasn't talkin about who was the best... you're the only bass player that woulda asked me to name "one hit" The Ohio Players made smh.. I'm 59 you clearly are way younger and not a student,EWF,The Ohio Players and Isleys Brothers preceeded those three bands they're early 70s Confunkshun broke out in summer 77 with Ffun, Lakeside summer'78 with Raid Cameo summer '79 with I just want to be... by then Ohio Players were on their way out with #1 and top 20 hits...Lakeside and Confunkshun have one Cameo has zero #1 hits yet you ask for one top song 🤡You're a bassists lemme hear some of your stuff I heard you doing other people's stuff let me hear yours since you disrespected Marshall Jones and the Ohio Players. Btw I was talking about bands that made great songs not bass rifts not just funk because LG, Bootsy, Marcus, James J. Verdeen, Louis Johnson Stanley Clarke, Marvin Isley are at the top but I'll put my fav against Cedric and anyone else and that's Bernard Edwards and yes he is one of the greats I can't believe you bro then you said you're a bassists like that gives your opinion weight...Btw I like Ced Aaron and The dude from Lake but I dare not talk greasy about any of them and I have seen good bass players in my lifetime but those guys are the best of the best "to me"

    This was on Don Kirshners Rock Concert to promote the “Secret Omen” album and I think some are confused because Wayne Cooper is there, his hair is just shorter. He had the big fro during the Cameosis release before he died. But that is Wayne with shorter hair and the stache hitting those notes standing upfront next to Tomi Jenkins and Nathan Leftnant.
