    I couldn’t help but say “Wow “ when Mel said “ who is he?” , one of the greatest singers alive , Uncle Charlie Wilson “ my name is Charlie, last name Wilson”. A true living legend with a career that spans from the 70’s with the Gap Band to his incredible solo career in the 90’s , 2000s and now! That’s the same thing as people don’t know Chaka Khan was in Rufus or that Lionel Richie was in the Commodores!

    These guys are from Tulsa area. Great music rhythm, groove, soul and some 80s pop synth sound. Rollerskating is all I can say.

    The GAP Band consists of the Wilson brothers: Charlie, Ronnie, and Robert. They are from the Greenwood section of Tulsa, OK., the location of the historic Black Wall Street. The band name GAP is an acronym for Greenwood, Archer, and Pine in honor of their community. During the late 70s and the 80's, they were one of the funkiest bands on the R&B charts. RIP Ronnie and Robert.
    Great reaction. Welcome back, Shawn and Mel!

      A great name came out of the Tulsa tragedy in 1921 where the kkk unfortunately killed lots of African Americans but the community rebuilt their city and made it glorious! All three have passed away the lead singer just passed at 70 in November 2023😢

    It was 1982 and "The Gap Band" [Dropped a Bomb] on all of us. It was produced by Island Def. Jam records. And it was the hit of 1982. I cannot believe it's been 40 years since song this came out...My how time fly's.

    Singer Charlie Wilson was honored with a tribute show (BET awards possibly?) and Stevie Wonder appeared and performed Gap Band hit "Burn Rubber on Me" and yes, he sounded remarkably similar singing it. You can find it on CZcams.

    You have to check out "Humpin'," "Burn Rubber on Me (Why You Wanna Hurt Me)," and "I Don't Believe You Want to Get Up and Dance (Oops Upside Your Head)." I was about 6 in the early 90s when my parents turned me on to The Gap Band and I would play all their songs over and over. You can't be still with any of their songs.

When I put that track on everyone just got off the wall and on the floor. Because there was no parking on the Dance Floor.
