Cameo is a funk-influenced R&B group that was formed in the early 1970s. Cameo was initially a 13-member group known as the New York City Players; this name was later changed to Cameo to avoid a lawsuit from The Ohio Players, another group from that era. Since then, Cameo has recorded several hits records. As of 2009, some of the original members continue to perform together, while two others were hired by the hip hop group Outkast.

Have a beautiful Sunday everyone (finally the weather is getting a bit "warmer" around here)
It's been four years since the king of beats passed away. What a sad day that was. Play some Dilla today in memory for one of the greatest to ever do it. Turn it up!
The Budos Band are an "Instrumental Staten-Island Afro-Soul" outfit recording on the Daptone Records label. The band has eleven members who play instrumental music that is self-described as "Afro-Soul," a term and sound which - in a recent interview - baritone saxophone player Jared Tankel elucidates as, being drawn from Ethiopian music the band had been listening to that had a soul undercurrent to it, which the band then "sprinkled a little bit of sweet 60's stuff on top" of.
This is a music blog more than anything else. I will basically just post good music I think you should listen to! (And of course buy it). I collect records and I will start by posting music from my collection, that is: hip hop, soul, a little funk and electronica.
So for all you music lovin people out there, ENJOY!
