Larry Ernest Blackmon (born May 29, 1956) is an American vocalist and musician, known as the lead singer, founder and frontman of the funk and R&B band Cameo.
Blackmon lived in Harlem and played drums on several hits for the band Black Ivory.
Along with his unique vocal style, Blackmon's other personal touches included sporting an elaborate hi-top fade haircut and a codpiece over his pants.
The “Ow” sound is a staple in Wayne’s vocabulary, and harkens back the early days when the Cameo 45 would play Candy in the living room.
The group Cameo appeared at Adventureland Palace, sponsored by Black Pride Inc., on April 26, 1978.
