Knights of the Sound Table is the seventh album by the funk/R&B band Cameo, released in 1981. It debuted at numbers 2 and 44 on both the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and Billboard 200 charts respectively and spawned two singles: "Freaky Dancin'" and "I Like It".
Amy Hanson of AllMusic called it "a transitional album", commending the trademark funk tracks ("Knights by Nights", "Freaky Dancin'") associated with the band but found fault in filler ballads like "I'll Always Stay" and I Never Knew, and found the disco trappings of "The Sound Table" to be "too long after the genre left the dancefloor." Hanson concluded that "Despite such serious wobbles, though, the set is cohesive enough to forgive its failings, the sound of a band keeping their past alive while stretching their wings to the future."
