Word Up - Cameo | FIRST TIME LISTENING REACTION

[@darrelledwards5046]

My parents were big fans of Cameo. Their favorite song was Back and Forth. My father had the cassette and played the song over and over.

Its really groovy but I like Candy better.

Yes that is a cameo by Levar Burton in a Cameo video.

At about 6:01 , I always thought that sounded like a hand power drill 🧰

Star Trek, Roots, AND Reading Rainbow!

"Word Up" was prominently featured in product placements during its time, including a Coca-Cola ad. Unfortunately for Cameo, the song became an anomaly, and they never had another hit like it again.

Pop audiences only know WU. Black folks we also remember Candy, Attack Me With Your Love, Back and Forth, Single Life and even Owww with Arsenio Hall.
