Cameosis/Feel Me

Robinsongs, a division of the U.K.'s Cherry Red label, combines Cameo's fifth and sixth albums on this single disc. Cameosis and Feel Me, both of which were released on Chocolate City in 1980, are among the band's most successful releases. The first of the two topped Billboard's R&B chart, while the latter peaked at number six. Most casual listeners will need only a sharp two-disc overview, such as 2005's Gold, but these albums have depth beyond singles like "Shake Your Pants," "Why Have I Lost You," "Keep It Hot," and "Feel Me." Around the same time, Robinsongs released Ugly Ego/Secret Omen as well. ~ Andy Kellman
