Today Marks The 37th Anniversary of Cameo's 14th Studio Album "Machismo" Originally Released on October 17, 1988.
Machismo is the 14th studio album by American funk group Cameo, released in 1988.
The album is the follow up to their most commercially successful album Word Up!.
The album reached No. 10 on the Billboard R&B chart, No. 56 on the Billboard 200 Pop Albums chart, and No. 86 on the UK albums chart. It was certified Gold by the RIAA for sales of over 500,000 copies.

"You Make Me Work" peaked at #74 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
“Skin I’m In” went to #10 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart.
The message of the song is about social injustice and equality for all people. Between performance and dance scenes, the music video features film from the civil rights movement and lead singer Larry Blackmon appears with half of his face painted black and the other painted white.
"Pretty Girls" peaked at #52 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart.
