I can't believe how soft-spoken and low key he was during the interview. So different than on stage. He was so sweet with Joan. Nice :)

Dude....it's so crazy you posted this. Cause we can hear artists singing voice for years, but when we hear their speaking voice it's usually much different than you might expect. Like Sadé for instance. She obviously has a really powerful and beautiful singing voice but in interviews her speaking voice is barely above a whisper. It's funny how that works. Larry B. always came across as a cool brother, lots of great music from Cameo over the years 💪🏾💪🏾

I'm British and they did appear on Top of The Pops codpiece and all doing Word Up in fact it's widely recognized as one of those classic ToTP moments in the UK up there with Bowie's debut in 72 and The Sex Pistols in 77, Probably some controversy behind the scenes with some suited old wanker but it was definitely broadcast in 86.

Its kind of unfortunate that Cameo seems to have become more famous for Larry Blackmon's codpiece and flattop haircut than for their significant contributions to Dance music, Funk in particular. Also overlooked are Larry skills as a drummer, composer, producer, bandleader, businessman, and artistic visionary. He's a bad dude.

I did not realise how softly spoken Larry is. When I first heard this on Top Of The Pops, aged 13, the next day, we all asked ‘I wonder if he talks like that, too?” Fast forward four years, the song and Larry’s scandalous outfit influenced me so much, I attended an ‘underground club’ in London, (un)dressed in only a shiny red codpiece, adapted from a boxer’s groin guard. I knew the Dj, Tina and she specially put this track on for me - I had memorised most of Mr. Blackmon’s moves. I ended up with a lady begging her flatmate to drive the two us to their flat half an hour later.😈 Thank you Mr. Blackmon for not only a legendary song, but for enabling one of the fondest memories I have. Bows*

With music the sound changes so to make a come back would assume radio play ,& exposure to have a mainstream buzz & create a new sound. I believe alot of artist got caught in that vacuum. If anybody Larry is creative enough to make a comeback. A lot of those artist just tour & make money off doing thier old hits.
