This page is full of redlinks, somebody should make articles out of them! --SuperDude 21:26, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

 * I made several changes. I corrected the year for Word Up!, corrected some grammatical and typographical errors, and cleaned up the italic and quotation references. Infamous30 07:57, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Blackmon
A few years back, Blackmon appeared together with Mariah Carey in her Music Video, they were sitting in race cars (circa 2002).

Changes
I made some changes to include some facts and to clarify the timeline. I am not all that familiar to how Wikipedia works, so I need some help adding the names of band members. Elyrad 07:57, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

This reads like a fanpage
Lines like "Of course, nothing could top the phenomenon of the Word Up!" are very much NOT encyclopedic 198.6.46.11 (talk) 16:18, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

can someone reference the use of the hit single Word Up in a short running Pepsi ad...pretty please?

In 1974, Cameo, who absolutely without a doubt were not a funk band, no matter what some wacko on City Data says.

Rewrite?
Cameo's "Reign" never ended nor will it end as long as sorry assed acts like lady caca and black guy's fleas continue to exist! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.18.67.39 (talk) 17:51, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
 * The tone of the History section needs work; and why is there a Presently and a Present action section?  Erpert  Who is this guy? 04:32, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

Opening/History disagreement
Then opening paragraph has "Cameo was initially a 14-member group known as the New York City Players; this name was later changed to Cameo to avoid being confused with Ohio Players another funk group in the 1970s.[1]" and the History section states "In 1974, Cameo started out with 10 members created by Larry Blackmon and called the New York City Players.". So was it 14 or 10? I went to the link on the first one and it doesn't say either way. Discordanian (talk) 20:09, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I changed the second number to 14 per []. TimTempleton (talk) (cont)  05:22, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
