Cameo hasn't gotten the credit that they should over the years. This band is tight and one of the best out there.

No matter how many years go by this is still the Jam 🎶🎤❤

Hey guys, Anthony Lockett wrote this song and is singing it on this video. He is also on the original tracks and NOBODY, I mean NOBODY, with all due repect to Larry and the guys in CAMEO, can deliver this like Anthony can. As a member of the Atlanta band "The Chapparrals", I knew Anthony Lockett before CAMEO ever heard of him. As a young guitar player in our band, he exhibited unbelievale talent while on stage performing. I know this because I'm Horace Henry, and I played with The Chapparrals.

SPARKLE! We have been married 42 years and that's still our song.

thats my uncle and yes he wrote this song and sings lead on the original i see the gold record every time i walk into my grandmothers house he actually wrote this song for his only daughter my cousin artia lockett

Anthony Lockett omg! That song defined Cameo back in the day as a band who could funk you up and still deliver a fine slow jam.

This song is one if the greatest love songs & ballads of all time. It's also one of the most unheralded songs in our r&b & soul slow jam family. Simply the best & thus was the Cameo I grew-up on.

One of the baddest slow jam ever. U know this.

Best live version. ..hands down!!!

Saw them back in 79 and they were the opening act. They Killed it!!!! Came back a year later as the headliner. In their hay day, one of the best show bands you ever want to see!

Here it is September 28, 2021,,, during COVID and this song is still FIRE!!! One of the best love songs ever

Anthony lockett , is another producer people didn't know about in cameo. I saw him burn up a guitar 🎸 at the dorton area in Raleigh NC. My favorite group.

I was 9 years old when this song was published, and my cousins had the album! After we played outside one weekend day, we gathered in the living room and listened to Sparkle. I’m 57, and it still sounds great! Thanks Cameo for this great song. 👩🏽‍🦱🫶🏽 🇺🇸

As cameo said sparkle. One of the best love songs of all time. Anthony locket, and Wayne Cooper on cameosis album funk from heaven j.

Going down memory lane!! 1979 was THE BEST YEAR IN MUSIC EVER!❤

Memories lawd have mercy. Wow weee 😍 Cleveland Ohio in the 🏡 2020

2021, one of my favorite Cameo's song , Sparkle, always love listening to this song.

This brother can definitely sing wow

OMG this was me and a special guy's song back in the day..lotta memories and slow dancing..those were the days

This the jam forever in a lifetime and after that

I watched other live performances of Sparkle and I liked his vocals better than the original lead on this song. His runs and adlibs is what killed it! This song and Candy my fav Cameo records!

Music from the soul,will never fade away.

I saw Cameo years ago at the Houston Astrodome when they used to have the Kool Jazz Festival absolutely amazing performance and he doesn't miss a beat on this performance. It wonderful to see him perform with the band again.

I miss Wayne Cooper tremendously. I miss him so much it hurts. With Anthony rocking on lead and the wonderful background harmonies with Wayne and Tomi, this is one of the most beautiful songs ever.

Best live version on KZfaq! The lead killed it! #classic

Still wonderful!

Awesome. CAmeo performed in Milwaukee back in July. They still sound good.

Amazing live version😍😍😍😍!!!

This beautiful song never gets old

Excellent performance.

Great Song..

No he wasn't. The original version featured Lockett. I like Blackmon, but he can't hold a candle to Lockett on ballad.

He got down on this one he deserve gold good job

Anthony Lockett! The original singer on the song Sparkle! Not Tomi Jenkins. Even though Tomi does a phenomenal job singing this tune!

Anthony sung the sh(beep) outta Sparkle this fine nite....or mornin'.

Jonathon Moffett on drums,,, giving Larry Blackmon an a run for his money.
