(with biography below if available)

Cameo is an American soul-influenced funk group that formed in the early 1970s. Cameo was initially a 13-member group known as the New York City Players; this name was later changed to Cameo to avoid a lawsuit from Ohio Players, another group from that era. As of 2009, some of the original members continue to perform together, while two others were hired by the hip hop group Outkast.
