Today Marks The 44th Anniversary of Cameo’s 5th Studio Album “Cameosis” Originally Released on April 24, 1980.
“Cameosis” is the fifth album by New York City funk band Cameo, released in 1980 on Chocolate City Records.
The album peaked at #1 on the US Billboard Top R&B Albums chart and at #25 on the Billboard 200 chart.
"We're Goin' Out Tonight" peaked at #11 on the Billboard The Hot R&B Songs chart.
"Shake Your Pants" peaked at #8 on the Billboard The Hot R&B Songs chart.
"Shake Your Pants" received considerable radio play as an album track, and was already a bonafide hit prior to being released as a single.
The album's closing track, "Why Have I Lost You", was a new version of the same song that was originally released on the band’s second studio album “We All Know Who We Are”.
This re-recorded rendition also received considerable airplay, and has remained a staple of the late night "quiet storm" format at urban adult contemporary radio.
“Cameosis” was certified gold by the RIAA for selling more than 500,000 copies in the United States.
