Tracks: Be Yourself Soul Army Flirt Enjoy Your Life Alligator Woman Secrets Of Time I Owe It All To You For You About The Record: Alligator Woman, by Cameo, marked a pivotal shift as leader Larry Blackmon downsized the group from 11 to 5 core members. This album was the first Cameo project recorded in Atlanta, blending their signature funk grooves with emerging rock and new wave influences amid the rising punk scene in nightclubs. Historically significant, it became the band's fifth consecutive gold-certified release by the RIAA, selling over 500,000 copies and solidifying their commercial momentum in the early 1980s funk era. The iconic cover features Canadian singer and model Vanity (Denise Matthews), adding a layer of cultural crossover appeal. The primary hit single, "Just Be Yourself," peaked at No. 16 on the US R B chart and charted for 15 weeks, while the title track "Alligator Woman" gained strong club play and fan acclaim as a dance floor staple.
