Cameo - Word Up (1986) | Classic's

"It just sounded good, and it was before its time. You can play 'Word Up' anyplace anywhere, and someone is going to be grooving and bobbing their head. Our sound was unique, as well. I haven’t heard another one like it, and we probably won’t hear another one like it in the future. It was that significant for us." -Larry Blackmon Visit http://www.CAMEOnation.com for CAMEO's new single, official merchandise, tour dates, and a whole lot more. | CAMEO
