The band was formed in 1974 originally known as The New York City Players later changed their name to Cameo. In 1986 fueled by a catchy tune and MTV airplay, the group recorded their first top 40 hit and only top 10 song in “Word Up which went to #6 on the charts. Larry Blackmon of the group said the song “was before it’s time, you can play “Word Up” anywhere and people will be bobbing their heads”!
