Cameo is one of the greatest funk, rock, jazz bands ever. The HOF desire to limit Black acts is a slap in the face to the history and culture of the music itself. The white washing continues.

Couldn't agree with you more!
Cameo gave as much dedication and love to the craft of entertaining us who could feel their vibe deep within our souls as has most bands in the rock and roll hall of fame. There needs to be a more diverse group of people on the rock and roll hall of fame committee who truly benefited from Cameo's presence in their lives. There are those who can honestly say Cameo earned it's place in the rock and roll hall of fame when they first came onto the scene and caused those of us who are in touch with our souls to shake our pants whenever and wherever we were when we first heard their grooves. I personally believe it's more honorable to say thank you to our great entertainers while they are still alive. We at a minimum owe that to them. I got nothin but love for Cameo.

It's an abomination that Cameo is not in the Hall of Fame. Ignorance of diversity among Hall of Fame committee.

They aren't in because they are one hit wonders.

Anyone saying CAMEO is a one hit wonder knows nothing of the Band or music in general.
