First single extract from Cameo's debut album "Cardiac Arrest",
a must-have piece on any funk-lover collection!.
In 1977, one of funk's most promising debuts came from Cameo, whose
first album, Cardiac Arrest, made it crystal clear that Larry
Blackmon's outfit was a force to be reckoned with. If you were into
hard, tough funk in 1977, it was impossible not to be excited by
Cameo's debut. This excellent LP contains a romantic soul ballad
("Stay By My Side") as well as the original version of "Find My
Way," which is the sort of smooth yet funky disco-soul that groups
like the Trammps and Double Exposure were known for in the late
'70s. But for the most part, this is an album of aggressive,
unapologetically gritty funk. On classics like "Rigor Mortis,"
"Funk, Funk," and "Post Mortem," one can pinpoint Cameo's
influences -- namely, Parliament/Funkadelic, the Ohio Players, and
the Bar-Kays. But at the same time, these gems demonstrate that
even in 1977, Cameo had a recognizable sound of its own. And
ultimately, Cameo would become quite influential itself. For funk
lovers, Cardiac Arrest is essential listening.
Enjoy!.
