      I'm 52 and I jamjamjam out to this stuff. No substitute for the brothers and their bass. It lives on.
      I live in Tulsa - Greenwood Archer Pine area is my old hood and my late grandfather was a trumpet player in the original gap band..
      Sadly, I never heard their music cuz I'm stuck on these guys!

    Lot of people don't know this but, The Gap brothers were really talented and it was a pleasure working with them and seeing it all unfold.
    Charlie would do all his vocals in one take, unbelievably talented!
    I laid all of the ground tracks on this one at Capitol Records studio in Hollywood back in 1983.
    I remember this session like yesterday.
    R.I.P. Robert and Ronny!

      Yep, you definitely won out in the game of life in regard to timing. You were not only old enough to remember all of the 80s, but you got to enjoy it as an adult too! OMG, the fashions, the music, the quality of manufactured goods, the purchasing power of a dollar, the coke without any fentanyl in it.. and you get to check out from natural causes well before the world is destroyed from climate change. Good times.

      I'm 77+, & I used to work at a club called "Dance Your Ass Off" in downtown San Diego...there was NO getting service from the wait/management staff when this jam came on. We might've had a couple dozen folks working, but they'd all throw down what they were busy with & invade the postage-stamp-sized dance floor en masse(pardon my inability to effectively use the hybrid Swedish/Japanese/Martian dialective conglomeration in which my pet rats were raised back in the day-) with manic enthusiasm.
      It could get awkward.
      It could become most definitely painful.
      Some of us would fall down, repeatedly, but nobody seemed to mind. Many billion yrs later(+ -👀), those memories help to keep this old shaky-booty-being being one.
      Thank you, Lord, thank you, dear Gap Band, & thank you to my{alleged} brain!!!
      🎶Y'all stay joyful & SAFE.🎶
