Thank you for the positive comments about our show, we have always while we were together, strived for the best , By the way the song was never about cocaine it was about love
Been ridin' in this Cameo car since 76-77! As a old school pop-locker, when you heard that Cameo!!! Game over lol. Bless all of you Cameo members past and present for giving us great music, and great memories! Peace!
Nathan, brother, Cameo has been my favorite band since Cardiac Arrest. My uncle gave me his old stereo, and that album was on the table. In fact, I just saw Larry, Tom, and Lockett in Houston LAST WEEK! Of course, all the old heads were looking for more of your original members, but they didn't disappoint. CAMEO FOREVER.
I saw Cameo in Bermuda back in late 90's they performed Candy they are still awseome!! it's not that often when a song is such a hit as this, it is Classic!! Just listen to this performance! How often does a live performance sound as perfect as the studio? These Cats are BAD as F...
Arsenio was our version of MTV.With live acts. Working with Arsenio was the highlight of my life for six amazing seasons .All the amazing people I met .Whitney ,Donna,Prince Madonna Cameo.Luther ,Patti and the list goes on.
Funk, soul and R&B brought all colors and ethnicities together under the glory of music. Sadly, funk and R&B will never be the same again. Long live the 80's!
The drummer is no joke I would go every time they came to Dallas-Fort what a time my best band in the land ( cameo thanks for everything time you came out)
When they went from Flirt and then hit them with with a Taste of The Victory Tour era Jackson's at 0:46 in that transition to Candy....Gold! As a DJ so many songs I play with this song as it's been sampled so much. But this song will always be a banger.
I was born in 1992 but for some reason this song always gets me on my feet at parties, good music will live for ever and ever.. Even my 7yr old son loves when I play this in the car!!
Cameo, definitely one of my favorite bands of all time. Not only are they funky when it comes to the fast songs but the harmony on their ballads are second to none.
I am a 70s man. There were many groups from my time that could perform on this level. Could put todays performers to shame. They could sing dance and play an instrument. And i saw them live😉
My little brother was born in 2006 he's 14 the other day I swear to God I went to visit my moms and I heard this song loud thought my mom was playing it nope my little brother had this loud blasting that goes to show how iconic u guys are and this song is
Wow they were actually singing live, amazing ! That energy was on point sheesh !!!! As soon as that Bass Line Dropped I caught chills ! Funk Gods for sure, only band I know that can make a song about cocaine & it actually be this catchy & Timeless !!!! " it's Like Candy I can feel it when you walk Even when you talk, it takes over me You're so dandy I want to know Can you feel it too, just like I do (Hoo!) This Stuff is starting now It's the same feeling I always seem to get around you There's no mistaking; I'm clearly taken By the simple mere thought oh you (Oh!) This stuff is starting now This stuff is starting now This stuff is starting now (Hoo!) My eyes roll in my head I toss & turn in my bed In the morning when I think about you (Yes I do) Simply put, you're the reason why Even though I'm real shy (Real shy) I attempted to look my best for you (Indeed I do, just for you) 'Cause you affect me, fascinate me I thank heaven for the things that you do It's like Candy ! "
I didn't know that's what this song was about. You do you Clapton's famous song Cocaine, right? When I've told people I've never used any drugs or even smoked weed they look at me like I have horns coming out of my head.
Hey I have seen Cameo in Concert 3 times back in the Day! Once at the Circle Star in San Carlos Calif, the other time, at Oakland Coliseum and at the Cow Palace in Frisco! They have so much energy and the music is tight too:)
The song that went on to be played at every black wedding on the planet. In fact if this ain’t played at your wedding reception, y’all ain’t really married.
Absolutely One of My Favorite CAMEO Songs to Dance to and Sing along with..JUST LIKE CANDY..I ATTEMPT TO LOOK MY BEST JUST FOR YOU YES I DO..I've seen CAMEO Perform it Live at Least 3 Times and New Orleans,but listening to it Performed Live now on You Tube,As LARRY would come in with His Vocals I suddenly imagined THE OHIO PLAYERS Performing CANDY With SUGAR FOOTr.i.p.Singing that part.Love&Peace😁😎luv ya byo eJ..wuts up LARRY...Miss You ARSENIO.there was no way I'd leave this house while The ARSENIO HALL Show was on.
Yeah, as Jr high scholers in the mid 70's me and my boys would yell "Owww" to each other in the hallways as an owed to Sugerfoot, the true originator.... Larry just continued it, to great success.
Don't let the cup fool ya....they brought the house down Dec. 5th at The Orleans in Las Vegas...OMG....I sooo forgot this song and it was a delight to hear it again after sooo many yrs....they ROCKED!!!!
My favorite group of all time! They had smooth balads like. Sparkle, Feel Me, Why Have I Lost You. And. They had the best Funk on the planet! Shake your Pants, Single Life, Freaky Dancin, and Word Up! Only Lakeside, and The Barkays were a close 2nd and third!
Timeless music that is beautiful music to my ears. I accidentally ran into a relative of Mr. Singleton while playing one of the iconic song;asking my friend, “Who is that group?” His response was quickly corrected when a doctor walks us and says, “That’s my cousin whom is one of the members of the band, Cameo.” With our eyes wide opened and chin on the ground we just stood there-frozen in time. She snapped my friend & I out of this melancholy moment as she shown us her badge which she gladly said, “Yeah, that my cousin.” She then darted down the hallway with her badge in tow as we looked on. My buddy and I was asking ourselves, “What just happened?” She must’ve heard us so she came back again to state more facts. She was never to be found again for we both looked for her. Anyhoo, every time I hear “Cameo’s ” music I laugh inside.
Man this is Epic, so influential and so far ahead of its time... i can only dream to have been older during this era... marvelous ! This my friends is Music!
I would like they never stopped making this style of music, there is passion, creativity and love involved here. Not with the music nowadays "singing" about pussy, drugs, violence, murder, hookers and the N-word abuse... Thank you for sharing this GEM!
@@craigking9368 They guy who wrote this song commented (on this video, look down the messages) "it's not about drugs". But we all know for many it was.
That LEAD SINGER CUP is just the funniest thing ever! - truly even though the clothes and hair are beyond silly, you couldn't help but enjoy the songs.
Thank you for the positive comments about our show, we have always while we were together, strived for the best , By the way the song was never about cocaine it was about love
Nathan Leftenant , thanks for the clarification. You guys kept me dancing throughout the 80's! Loved you guys then, and LOVE YOU GUYS NOW!

Thank you for the great music sir
That bass line is like a block of pure gold
I mean in the pocket CLEAN
That bass line is timeless. I’m listening in 3024
Uce Nari So you lived passed 2020? Please tell me how it ended
@@mastershockvalue6499 LMFAO!
Cool, you are listening from far in the future.
@@mastershockvalue6499 I can tell you. It ended with the Coronavirus pandemic. Duh.
lmao !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! me too !!!!!!!!!!!
OMG !!!!!!!!!! I MIss these times damn it was cold going on back in the 80's .90's !!!!!!!!!
"Candy" The Baddest Jam in the Land....still in 2024.
Puts modern artists to shame- no autotune, just pure talent.
It's called rehearsal, experience, chops and guts, and yeah, talent.
Crappy music
t so much rehearsal, but pure talent
Cameo was and still is one of the best groups
You are so right. Groups like Cameo, The Gap Band, The Bar Kays, Midnight Star, and Sky. Dope Funk Bands from the 80’s
FACTS
If by “one of the best” you mean in the top 1,000 then yes
@@thatguy9760 Slave, Ohio Players and Con Funk Shun
Wow what a band i am listening to this the year of 2023
Please never delete this masterpiece
@@brunopayet6636 I would never do that! Unless Arsenio release was a better version.
The bass line is wicked 🔥
The Arsenio Hall Show debuted in 1989, the 90's television frame was never the same, Arsenio was epic back in the day!
Always watched Arsenio! Such a great time to be alive in the world!
This sounds even better than the Candy music video , they are feeling the music, sounds beautiful
Concert against a video find the differences and give yourself the answer no?
Arsenio was our version of MTV.With live acts. Working with Arsenio was the highlight of my life for six amazing seasons .All the amazing people I met .Whitney ,Donna,Prince Madonna Cameo.Luther ,Patti and the list goes on.
Your so lucky. I was a little kid around this time😅I wish I was older for one day back then😅
This song can still fill a dance floor.
This is the official "Electric Slide" song at every black function.
Cameo had a gift for packing the floor. They had a solid 10 plus years of doin' it .
That baseline sends chills down my spine everytime I hear this song
These FINE brothas bought nothin' but the FUNK YA'LL. What a time to be ALIVE 🙌
Funk, soul and R&B brought all colors and ethnicities together under the glory of music.
Sadly, funk and R&B will never be the same again.
Long live the 80's!
A real band of real musicians putting in that REAL work!
Damn this song rocked hard..! Cameo flexed on their asses with this one. 💪🏾 These dudes were no joke..
Love that bassline
The transition from Flirt into Candy is da shit!!!
Dwaine Wheeler indeed it is
The drummer is no joke I would go every time they came to Dallas-Fort what a time my best band in the land ( cameo thanks for everything time you came out)
One of them greatest songs ever!
Bass line will go down as one of the most memorable forever
Wonderful wonderful song till this day
Best song EVER made
This is just fucking awesome! Man, 80's had attitude!
I love this song
Thank you Cameo..one of the baddest bands ever..🥰🥰🥰
one of the baddest bass lines ever!
tomi jenkins was the principle writer of this and many of cameo jams, like word up, etc. i like how they intentionally dance off beat on Candy.
When they went from Flirt and then hit them with with a Taste of The Victory Tour era Jackson's at 0:46 in that transition to Candy....Gold! As a DJ so many songs I play with this song as it's been sampled so much. But this song will always be a banger.
Definitely one of their best LIVE performances of this song!!! Thanks for posting it!!
Larry Blackmon always cracked me up with that red jock piece going on! 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
One of the Best rock soul songs ever written!!!!
The 80's was the best ❤❤❤
Long live Cameo! Nathan was a trendsetter with his Dreds starting back in the 70's!
I was born in 1992 but for some reason this song always gets me on my feet at parties, good music will live for ever and ever.. Even my 7yr old son loves when I play this in the car!!
The best wedding song that lives on☺️👌
Cameo, definitely one of my favorite bands of all time. Not only are they funky when it comes to the fast songs but the harmony on their ballads are second to none.
One my favorite groups of all time.....period!
Too damn FUNKY .... too MANY CLASSICS under their belt. Songs that are everlasting ....

"Uptimes" in the 80's leading to good things.

" it's Like Candy
I can feel it when you walk
Even when you talk, it takes over me
You're so dandy
I want to know
Can you feel it too, just like I do (Hoo!)
This Stuff is starting now
It's the same feeling
I always seem to get around you
There's no mistaking; I'm clearly taken
By the simple mere thought oh you (Oh!)
This stuff is starting now
This stuff is starting now
This stuff is starting now (Hoo!)
My eyes roll in my head
I toss & turn in my bed
In the morning when I think about you (Yes I do)
Simply put, you're the reason why
Even though I'm real shy (Real shy)
I attempted to look my best for you
(Indeed I do, just for you)
'Cause you affect me, fascinate me
I thank heaven for the things that you do
It's like Candy ! "

Nathan (from the band), states that it's not about cocaine, but love. He does that right here, find his post. It the most replied.
Never thought this beautiful song was about Cocaine. listen to the lyrics
@@VideoMusicManiacPlace They say that but there are way too many ambiguous lines. I'm sure it was intentional, has the listener wondering.
Yeah!❤❤❤❤

OMG just how wicked is this tune?? All these years and still this cheers me up even on blue days!
When someone says "Owww", there is no mistaking where it came from! LOL
Actually, Blackmon's singing style here is from the Ohio Players' Sugarfoot Bonner. Anybody who knows the Ohio Players knows where that style is from.
@@MagMusic Yep the ORIGINATOR.🔥👍💯💯😎
Sugarfoot (RIP) from Ohio Players created it and Larry carried it to the next generation.
Yep,Sugarfoot made it famous.Lionel Ritchie,the Barkays,and many others.Owww been around for a munute,lol.
Yeah, as Jr high scholers in the mid 70's me and my boys would yell "Owww" to each other in the hallways as an owed to Sugerfoot, the true originator.... Larry just continued it, to great success.
Oh, what a treat! Just like canday!
So glad I grew up with all these incredible R & B Bands.
Slave was my fave.
One of the best concerts ever 1983 Hammersmith ❤❤
Energetic performance. I've seen them live several times. Always killed it. Been a fan since Cadiac Arrest.
Aww the memories!!! Thanks for sharing!!
I really love this song!!!! Yes, I'm an old school teenager!!!
Got laid to this song back then and still years go by and I am still getting laid to this old time funk song!
Now this is the Cameo I love ... they look masculine, sound great, look great and can't get no funkier. Cameo is the bomb !!!
What a bloody great performance! Love this!
That bass tho... holy shit. I feel the funk.
Don't let the cup fool ya....they brought the house down Dec. 5th at The Orleans in Las Vegas...OMG....I sooo forgot this song and it was a delight to hear it again after sooo many yrs....they ROCKED!!!!

Cameo was the best....punk,funk..rock an roll band
these brothers can sing they even sounded good live.
That’s one of the nicest bass lines of a funk tune, it’s so creative maan.
Damn, 80s were the best times in History
Detroit, michigan 💜 U Cameo!!! Please come here soon! Much love!😎✝️🙏
James Browne, Michael Jackson, Bobby Brown, Usher and Chris Brown are probably the best male dancers in history for Funk/Rythm & Blues/Pop music.
