◇ image via WikipediaCameo
Cameo is a Disco and Funk act. Their catalogue also touches House and Rhythm and blues. Their sound grew out of Nona Hendryx, Lafayette Afro Rock Band, Donald Byrd and Parliament-Funkadelic. Those roots explain a lot about how Cameo arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Slave, S.O.S. Band, Con Funk Shun, The Gap Band and Loose Ends, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, Maze, Treat Myself and Tha Carter II, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 47 connections around Cameo, reaching back through Nona Hendryx and forward to Beyoncé.
