Wikipedia, June 28, 2017 (Cameo; American soul-influenced funk group; formed by bassist Larry Blackmon in New York City; the initial group was known as the New York City Players in 1974; in 1976 the group quickly changed its name to Cameo after concerns that it might cause confusion/lawsuit with another funk band, the Ohio Players; Blackmon had an eclectic style that had its foundation in funk, but included rhythm and blues, electro and hip hop; numerous members and past members; the band continues to perform today)
