Band Name Origins:
- The band was called The New York City Players, but that name was taken. When their manger called Larry Blackmon to tell him to pick another name, he looked outside of his NYC hotel room and saw a billboard advertising Cameo brand cigarettes, so he chose that. Submitted by: Woodchuck
