Cameo - Kights Of The Soundtable / Alligator Woman / Style / She's Strange (CD) - CD

Details: Two CD set containing four fantastic Cameo albums: 'Knights Of The Sound Table' (1981), 'Alligator Woman' (1982), 'Style' (1983), and 'She's Strange' (1984) in one gloriously danceable funk-fuelled package. Cameo was the brainchild of producer, drummer, and singer Larry Blackmon, who joined forces with the New Jersey singer Tomi Jenkins in 1974. The first of the four Albums to feature on this package is 'Knights Of The Sound Table' which was a huge commercial success. It spent three weeks at No. 2 in the US R&B Albums Chart, it also rose to No. 44 on The American Billboard Top 200 chart, maintaining Cameo's crossover appeal. It features the tracks 'Freaky Dancin' a Top 3 U. S. R&B hit. The second Album 'Alligator Woman' was the first Cameo album recorded in Atlanta. It was preceded by the first single 'Just Be Yourself', which spent 15 weeks in the US R&B Singles Chart, peaking at No. 12. An infectious slice of new wave-tinged Minneapolis-style punk-funk, Inexplicably, the song appeared on the album with a shorter title: 'Be Yourself'. 'Style', the third album in this set was Cameo's first on their newly founded label, Atlanta Artists imprint. It also marked a further change in the band's line up, leaving the band as four funkateers: Blackmon, Jenkins, Charlie Leftenant and Nathan Singleton. To complete this fabulous package is the Gold certified 'She's Strange' slbum, the single of the same name entered the R&B Singles chart in February 1984 and by April, it had risen to pole position, spending a month at the top spot.
