Cameo started out as a 13-member group in the seventies, called the New York City Players. In March 1984, they had their first hit outside of America, reaching number 37 in the UK singles chart with this single, 'She's strange'. It is a far cry from later hits like 'Word Up' and 'Candy', with its understated, subtle music and close harmony vocals. The video was a regular on music television during that year, but in the Netherlands, the single couldn't be found.I finally bought this 12" single as a good alternative. With a long version and a club mix of the track, it is a treat.
My collection: 12" single no. 404
Found: Beanos, East Croydon (UK), May 1999
Cost: 1 pound
Tracks: 'She's strange (long version)', 'Love you anyway' / 'She's strange (club mix)', 'Groove with you'
