about
b. a.k.a. Daryl L. Cameron, 10th July, 1957, Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A. Captain Sky is the alter ego of Daryl Cameron, a Chicago based, bass player. He states, on the liner notes of his 'Aventures Of' album, 'Oh, by the way, if you're wondering, Daryl Cameron somehow entered the phonebooth of his mind and emerged as Capatin Sky. tune in again'. Captain Sky followed a similar fashion in music and clothing to that of Bootsy Collins and George Clinton, with the band describing their groups music as 'I Beta Funk'. Under the name of Captain Sky, Daryl assembled a large group Chicago based musicians and embarked on a recording career in 1979. Signing to AVI Records, 'The Captain' released two albums that year, entitled 'Pop Goes The Captain' and 'The Aventures Of Captain Sky'. The former album featured Elmer Brown of Earth, Wind & Fire. The latter album featured the single 'Dr. Rock' and the popular 'Wonder Worm'. By 1980, The Captain had moved his entourage on to TEC Records. The resulting album, 'Concerned Party No.1', featured 40 musicians and the background vocal talents of, fellow Chicago residents, Heaven & Earth. By this time, Daryl had turned the 'play on words' song titles into an art form highlighted by the infectious 'Bubble Gum (I Chewz You)'. A final album, entitled 'The Return Of Captain Sky' was released in 1981 on the AVI label. Moving on to WMOT Records in later 1981, The Captain turned to releasing twelve inch singles solely. 'Station Brake' was release
