Cameosis
''Cameosis'' is the fifth album by the funk band Cameo, released in 1980. Reception ''Cameosis'' reached number one on the R&B album charts and number twenty five on the Billboard 200 album charts. It was certified gold for sales of more than 500,000 copies in the US. The two singles, "We're Goin' Out Tonight" and "Shake Your Pants", charted on the R&B singles charts at number 11 and 8 respectively. However, "Shake Your Pants" received considerable radio play as an album track, and was already a bonafide hit prior to being released as a single. The album's closing track, "Why Have I Lost You", was a new version of the same song that had been released on the band's second album. This re-recorded rendition also received considerable airplay, and has remained a staple of the late night "quiet storm" format at urban adult contemporary radio.

Style (Cameo Album)
''Style'' is the ninth album by the funk band Cameo, released in 1983. It was their first album to introduce their Atlanta Artists label, with which they maintained their distribution through Polygram Records. At the time, Cameo was going through a transition, having gone from five members (''Alligator Woman'', 1982) to four, with an extreme makeover in their sound. Their former big funk band sound was now being replaced by all the elements of the electronic age (i.e., keyboards, synthesizers and Simmons drums). Their music was self-proclaimed as "21st Century Bebop" and the band prided themselves on the use of non-conventional drums. Track listing # "Aphrodisiac" – 5:00 (L. Blackmon, C.Singleton, N.Leftenant, T.Jenkins) # "This Life Is Not for Me" - 3:30 (L. Blackmon, C.Singleton, N.Leftenant, T.Jenkins) # "You're a Winner" - 3:30 (L.
