I only have a Cameo Parkway single:
�Let The Good Times Roll (And Feel So Good)� b/w �There's No Love Left� by Bunny "Mr. Emotion" Sigler.

I likes it a lot, especially the B side.
Also I got "Mashed Potato Time" by Dee Dee Sharp in a spanish soul compilation (by Dro Records).
My sister frequently played in his teens a single by Fabian (with a tiger in the cover photo!). I think was a Cameo single.

Also I have a italian compilation with around six tracks by The Olymoics ("Big Boy Pete", "Dance With The Philly Dog", etc.) that probably was originally on Cameo.

Resuming, i only can enumerate two (a miserable 20%) of the ten top list.
(Snif!)

Hope in future re-editions of Cameo realises (as also North-Bay, Neptune and other 60's Philly treasures!)

Peace & Soul Food!

Hola Manny, que tal?
Actually, those other Olympics records were on The Arvee label,-a small, independent L.A. label, and Mirwood, another independent L.A. label. "Tiger" by Fabian was also NOT on a Cameo/Parkway label, it was on a smaller, independent label East Coast label.

Hey, my canadian amigo Roberto (Roena) K! (Smile!)

Thanks for your sympathy and your encyclopedic knowledge.

I have cheking the linner notes and the label of this italian vynil �La Grande Storia del Rock. Vol. 55� (Armando Curcio Editore) that have a whole side (8 tracks!) by The Olympics. In the linner notes says simply that this group belongs to the Cameo-Parkway "scuderia".
These are the 8 tracks:
-"The Bounce"
-"The Duck"
-"Mine Exclusively"
-"Same Old Thing"
-"Baby Do The Philly Dog"
-"Dance With The Light Of The Moon"
-"Big Boy Pete"
-"Shimmy Like Kate"
And in the label only says "Licensed by Key-Seven, Nashville International Vee Jay". (Tthe other side is by Jerry Butler, The Shirelles and The Marcels).

About Fabian i says this because I thinks he was in Cameo sometime (?).

Best Regards, Peace & Soul Food

Manny, you may be right about Fabian having had a release on Cameo. That brings up a picture in my mind. However, "Tiger" was on Chancellor Records. The Olympics did have a record on Parkway ("Lookin' For A Love"). Key-Seven may be the source of the Mirwood Olympics records, as Mirwood was distributed by Keymen Records. I believe they had also purchased the rights to The Olympics' previous records with Arvee. VJ International must have been the source for the Jerry butler songs.

Paz, y comidas (alimentos) por la alma!


Lenny, you have a very interesting list there. Our tastes in Cameo/Parkway are not as similar as in Girls Groups.
