Cameo, but I never considered Cameo a trio (look at their line up in the mid 70s), and most of us are familiar with them before "Word Up."
Cameo Or The Gap Band?

Visuals & Music combo: Cameo
If only judged on Music alone: Gap Band

The band is named after streets (Greenwood, Archer, and Pine) in the historic Greenwood neighborhood in their hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma..to me this was the best part...always remember!
Cameo easy...
But the Gap Band is no joke.

Yo playa, you are missing Freaky Dancing I have these three in a row on my car 6 disk CD player...
One of my favorite joints from the Gap Band
(If the show is still running) I'm thinking about going to see them when I'm in Las Vegas next month. The problem is I'm traveling with 8 people and the final choice is between them and Boyz II Men. I've seen Boyz II Men before, they put on a GREAT show in a much bigger/nicer Strip venue (Mirage) and their tickets start at only $39.95. I just don't think Cameo is worth paying twice as much to see in a cabaret room at the Westgate off strip (the old Las Vegas Hilton).
Cameo
Cameo brings a fun and in-your-face show with a classic funk sound to the Westgate Cabaret. Comparable to Parliament Funkadelic early on, Cameo was a trendsetter through the 1970's and 1980's and even influenced early R&B and hip-hop acts. Their biggest hit, "Word Up," made it to number six on the pop chart in 1986, giving them their biggest bite of the mainstream.

I saw them in Late July 2016. The show is good but Let me tell you its short. Barely and hour. Those dudes were sweating. During that Hour they all went off stage while the drummer took an extended solo. I thought it was funny but my ol' Lady was kind of pissed. These guy's are Granddad's after all. Now if you buy that premium package you get to sit up front and I think you meet them after the show. The show was short but fun.
That same trip I also caught Penn and Teller which had a much longer show and afterward took pictures and signed autographs in the lobby with anyone who went to the show. No special packages required. If you're a fan I would definitely check these guys out or if you just want to see something different.
When I put that on I always have to listen twice. Easily one of the top 20 Funk tunes of all time. Now there's a poll for your ass. What are the Top 20 Funk Tunes all time.
Fuck Larry for hating on rap, then doing word up. Gap Band for the win
Hard choices........Been so long since I've seen Cameo live.....But when they were on.....they blew shit up! Charlie Wilson's shows are all GAP Band.....and he doesn't disappoint. Both are tough live shows.....Roger & Zapp was better then both of them.....imho.
