    '74 Just graduated highschool, all this great Funk music was everywhere. Ohio Players, Kool and the Gang, Parliament Funkadelics. James Brown and the JBs, There will never be another time like that, in my opinion. A suggested Funk song, " Slippery When Wet" by the Commadores.

    I just want to add a comment because someone commenting below said lead singer Charlie Wilson had died. As of February 8 2024 he is alive and well, having just received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Jan 29, his 71st birthday. If you see this in the future, he and any of us could be gone, but as of right now he's still here for us to love and appreciate.

    • @TooSkinnyKenny

    This is the JAM, I LOVE this song. It's funky as hell and still fire over forty years later, my favorite Gap Band song. Wish the two of you had gotten the chance to see them live, they were great in concert. Sadly, only Charlie Wilson, the lead singer, is still with us, both his brothers passed away.

  • @empire7179
    @empire7179 Před rokem +4

    The lead singer is named Charlie Wilson, everyone calls him "Uncle Charlie" his last solo albums were put out in 2009 "There Goes My Baby" & 2010 "You are" He was really hot. Nominated for 13 Grammy Awards and 11 NAACP Awards.. The other 2 guys are his Brothers.. I believe one of his brothers just passed not too long ago.

    The GAP band were already popular when they released Gap Band III (technically their 5th album) in 1980. This song made them superstars. The core of the band were brother Robert, Ronnie, and Charlie Wilson. All three sang and played multiple instruments. Charlie was the primary lead singer and keyboardist. Robert and Ronnie typically had one lead or co-lead per album. Bassist Robert passed in 2010. Trumpeter/Keyboardist Ronnie died in 2021. As far as I know he live in Texas at the time of his passing. Charlie now in his early 70’s is still recording and touring to large crowds.

    This song reminds me of my childhood. My mom would be in the kitchen with the radio on, just having her own personal dance party. And every time I’d walk through there she would grab me and make me dance with her. I’d be like, “no mom” and she would grab my hands and swing me around! I appreciate it so much more now. 😊

    Lol! Jay looked like he was having a religious experience! Never seen him so animated and chair dance so hard. This song, and The GAP Band in general, should always be played REALLY LOUD to get the most out of the experience. Definitely a song that will get everyone on to the dance floor! Charlie Wilson is the lead singer and he is still performing as a solo artist, and sounding great!

    Fantastic Voyage by Lakeside & Jungle Love by MD & the Time should definitely be on y’all’s to-do list if you wanna move!

    The Gap band is my mother’s favorite. I remember her playing this and others growing up. I live in Louisiana and they came out here a few years ago and played a free show. I asked her if she’d ever seen them live. My mom never was one to go to concerts and such, so no. But, she was visibly excited to hear they’d be around. She is always the person making sure everyone else is taken care of but, doesn’t do a whole lot for herself. So we dragged her out to the show. Now, I know that this woman was once a teenager, it’s basic human biology. However, I had never met that teenager. But, when Charlie walked out on that stage…my mom disappeared and the screaming, dancing, fun loving teen came out! It was amazing! She sang and danced and screamed! The show was amazing! But, that’s one of my favorite memories now. So glad we didn’t let her stay home and she was too.

    Greenwood Archer & Pine. YES! The Gap Band's music is timeless. This was the JAM at parties and at the club! Charlie Wilson just received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on January 29, 2024, (which was his 71st birthday). He still tours and sounds EXACTLY the same as he did in 1980 (44 years ago) when "Burn Rubber on Me" was released. At his concerts, he does perform some of the Gap Band hits..

    Love the Gap Band!! The lead singer Charlie Wilson had a resurgence in his career later in his life as a solo artist. Often called Uncle Charlie because his new generation of fans were so much younger than him. Anyways. He is still singing today he still sounds amazing. I saw him live a few years ago and he can blow most male singers out if the water. Check out his solo "You Are" You will hear his true vocal talent.

    Like many of their Funk contemporaries, the Gap Band’s early music showed a strong influence by Parliament. Eventually, they developed a sound of their own based around the Bass synthesizer. For more funk check out: Parliament, Funkadelic, the Bar-Kay’s, Cameo, Lakeside, Brick and Zapp.

  • @Phyrman1
    @Phyrman1 Před rokem +2

    I grew up listening to these guys! This song in particular was sort of a theme song for me for a year or so, too (long story). They were the epitome of funk in the '70's & '80's - and yeah that bass was everything. I later on played in a few small bands & groups, and came to realize how unique this band was. They basically pioneered using instruments other than guitar and piano to carry the melody - in this case, the bass guitar not only carried the beat, but outlined the melody and drove the song.
    Much later in life while teaching at a high school, I met a family member of these guys, and ended up meeting Charlie Wilson, the youngest of the three brothers. Cool dude, and very kind (at least to me).
    Sadly, the two older brothers (Ronnie and Robert) have passed away. The band's music is alive and well, though, continuing to be sampled on songs and generally influencing a new generation of musicians today.

They roared thru the early 80s with this jam and others like You dropped a Bomb on Me, Party Train, Early in the Morning, Outstanding, Shake, and others. My 2nd favorite Funk Band next to Earth, Win#& Fire.

    Charlie Wilson did an interview years ago and he said he got the "burn rubber" idea from the movie "Smokey And The Bandit", because the line "put the pedal to the metal" was said in the movie. During the mid 1970s to early 1980s, car chase & CB radio trucker movies/TV shows were very popular (in the USA). You have "The Blues Brothers" on your other channel and that is one of the car chase films. The Gap Band usually wore cowboy outfits when a lot of funk bands of that era were wearing outer space costumes or in the case of Funkadelic, a diaper, lol.

    They were huge in the first part of the 80's. I remember dorm mates cranking this. They are unusual in that they are from Tulsa. They have done gigs with Leon Russell, the late legendary pianist who is also from Tulsa. There music was great for dancing and slow jams also. GAP stands for Greenwood, Archer, and Pine, the main streets in the African American district of Tulsa. This area was ground zero for the Tulsa riots of about 100 years ago.

    The Gap Band had many hits in the 70s and 80s, but their first major hit was a song called "Shake". It doesn't seem to get the respect it deserves, but it's one of those funk in a stick songs. I hope you get a chance to react to it.

    I am a 53 year old refugee from the 70s, an 80s Rocker / thrashing headbanger, and grungy in my 20s ,. Currently been exploring everything. I have to thank you guys for trying out different genres or styles. I am sure I've heard the Gap somewhere but would have never listened to it. They got me boogying in my living room as my family was sleeping. I've never boogied before. I'm glad no one woke up and saw that. But it makes me want to bug out and seek out the Funk. Hey you want to hear some rocking funk check out the Red Hot Chili Peppers covering Stevie Wonder's " Higher Ground" it funking rocks!

    Charlie Wilson, the lead singer, is still touring. His last album was released in 2017. Some of his singles from his solo career are: "I'm Blessed", "Charlie, Last Name, Wilson", "No Stoppin' Us", "You Are". You should react to some of these.

    You're right about the dancing back then. Yes, there were specific dances we did, but there was also this kind of music that you felt in your soul, and you hurried to the dance floor to dance it out of your system. For a better example, check out "Scorpio" by Dennis Coffey, the video with the Soul Train Dancers getting down.

    The Gap Band had many dance songs. I hope you will come next with some Whispers " And the Beat Goes On" "Rock Steady" "Olivia Lost and Turned Out" or some Brick with "Dazz" or LTD with "Back in Love Again" Kool and the Gang with "Funky Stuff" and "Jungle Boogie" and the Dazz Band with "Let it Whip"

    They were a powerhouse in the early eighties. Great part of my days on my twenties. My sister wrecked the car while we listening to early in the morning. Went off the road and into a cornfield in Pennsylvania. Couldn't even drive straight listening to them. Unfortunately two brothers are gone. Only the lead singer is still alive

    Two of the three brothers have passed away. Charlie Wilson had several solo hits in the early 2000s. He is still touring at the age of 69!!! He actually just finished up a big tour with New Edition.

  • @misterdoe

    Charlie Wilson, the lead singer, is the only surviving member. Not sure if he's in Tulsa, but the label they recorded for, Total Experience, was named for a club in LA their then-manager owned. I'm thinking he may be in LA. BTW Charlie was one of the singers on Zapp's "Computer Love," which you guys loved.

  • @johncampbell756
    @johncampbell756 Před rokem

    The GAP Band was three brothers and some other guys. They ended in 2010 and only singer Charlie Wilson survives. Apparently he is still performing so you might be able to contact his agent, manager or label to see if he would do an interview and maybe make some reaction suggestions.

    There goes my Baby and Charlie, last name Wilson. Thanks again Rob Squad.
