Captain Sky is the alter-ego of Daryl L. Cameron who is a
veteran P-funk musician from Chicago who has been active since 1978
releasing four albums between 1978-89. He was name checked by
Sugarhill Gang in "Rappers Delight".
He has a new project in the pipeline "All Of The Above" which will be new material and some of his takes on some classics. The
lead track from it is "Under tha n-Fluence" released on 6 Jun 2022.
His biggest hit was "Wonder Worm" from Dec 1978 which was his debut single from his debut album "The Adventures Of Captain Sky". There is some vintage footage of an appearance on the legendary Soul
Train when he would have been 21. If you watch to the end there is a short
interview with presenter Don Cornelius.
Another track from the album, "Super Sporm", has been sampled several times by Public Enemy ("You're Gonna Get Yours") and Salt-N-Pepa "Shoop". When you listen to the breaks in it you
can begin to understand why the hip-hoppers have latched onto it! Apart
from the album, it appears to have only been released on a white label, single sided, Dynamic Sounds 12" in Jamaica (the orange labeled one is a bootleg) and
never a 7" as it's almost 12 minutes long.
