Classic jam from 1978 by Cameo, The album was called Ugly Ego and the track is called " Give Love A Chance. This song features Anthony Lockett, Larry Blackmon and the late Wayne Cooper on lead vocals. The Harmony is outstanding in this song. This song is also highlighted by the french horns which Cameo used until 1979. Cooper's vocals and the french horns really compliment each other especially at the 4:14 mark of this song. Crank this one up baby.

Wayne was an incredible falsetto. A falsetto singer who never get's talked about though is Cortez Harris from One Way. He sang lead on Cutie Pie, Lady You Are, and Something in The Past. He get's forgotten about because people think Al Hudson did all the leads but Cortez and another great falsetto Kevin McCord did the falsetto leads for One Way. He wasn't as dyanamic as Wayne but he was near that class and that range too!

@lolasprings3540 10 лет назад

Wayne, Wayne, Wayne Cooper, too amazing!. Philip Bailey, Eddie Kendricks, Bobby Debarge and countless others are amazing falsettos but Wayne Cooper has the richest, strongest falsetto. It has a lot of beautiful tones to it. The vibrato is second to none.

@lloydjohnson5817 10 лет назад

The Ohio Players had a unique arsenal of intellectual talented firepower, in which who set the tone for CameO, do check out the Ohio Players you will see that 90% of CameO’s flow are somewhat similar or the same. That’s the reason CameO changed the group original name from being the New York City Players to CameO. Not taking anything away from CameO they’re AWESOME!! MY favorite group!! But again, I was stunned by the Ohio Players flow after pulling up all their music, I was like WHOA!!!! Check it out for yourself…

This is my Favorite Cameo Slow song. I could not find this song or album for years. Nowhere... Finally on Itunes. I'm from DC, but my buddies from Chicago and Philly have never heard this song..but was shocked and just listened quietly and said "damn, where did this come from". Amazing it doesn't get played in rotation of Cameo ole skool hits like "Sparkle".. somehow I don't think it got played that much in certain markets when it was released..

@jamie4084 6 лет назад

Wrong !!! Granted his high octaves lent credibility to all vocal talents of the group, however, the group carried on in Wayne's absence, and that is accredited to Larry Blackmon, Bassist Aaron Mills, and that 3rd fella' who replaced Wayne on vocals

First time I ever heard this song today! I like it........ another cameo jam. R.I.P. Wayne Cooper, You and Cameo help make my college days the best!

@apollosolo1582 Год назад

Now this is music. Cameo was still fighting their way up to the top of the charts. This album as well as the previous album 'We All Know Who We Are' wasn't as highly successful as the Rigor Mortis album but those who loved them knew it was only a matter of time before they blew up. This song is a testimony to their great vision, interracial love and romance. Which still wasn't as easily accepted back then. Wayne Cooper's dynamic falsetto was unique onto itself and clearly distinguished him from other voices at the time. It's a shame he passed away so early in his career, nevertheless, Cameo, and this song are the bomb and in 1979, it all came together first with 'i Just Wanna Be' and followed with 'Sparkle; and the rest is history.

@norvelwhite3811 5 лет назад

In my own humble opinion the only thing Prince Eddie Kendricks Phillip Bailey Smokey Robinson and any other falsetto singers had on Mr Wayne Cooper was notoriety he was at least as good as any of them he just didn't have the big name because he was only a part off CAMEO for two years I remember hearing he was supposed to be going solo and Larry Blackmon was supposed to produce him but for some reason it didn't come to pass unfortunately

@cherylpratt1776 4 года назад

Norvel, thanks, for the great comment about Wayne! Actually, he was with Cameo from 1977-1980 - He did record a solo album which will be published - Stay tuned! - For more info about Wayne, check 'Cameo The Golden Years - The Wayne Cooper Years - 1977-1980' on Facebook - Cheryl Cooper-Pratt

@lonnieboocarter4358 2 года назад

Wayne Cooper was the best and the only some one who I think is close is Bobby Debarge of Switch. In reality they're tip n tap, you can't goes wrong with either and after Wayne died Larry Blackmon wanted Bobby Debarge to join "CAMEO" but he refused even though he was a fan of the group!
