Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Cardiac Arrest' serves as the high-energy debut for the sprawling funk ensemble Cameo, led by drummer and visionary vocalist Larry Blackmon. The production introduces their signature heavy horn arrangements and deeply syncopated basslines designed specifically for the dance floor. It established the massive collective as a formidable presence in the late 70s R&B landscape.
