I'm a Native American Ghanaian Slav Jew and I even claim the Wilson brothers as Uncles. 🤣 Tio Robert was a phenomenal musician to say the least

[@jameskelly315]

2 Robert Wilsons?

[@GoldenLady1007]

The music didn't change by accident. This was by design. We are being infiltrated through our music. The negative, hateful, misogynistic music is being pushed for a reason. We MUST wake up. 😮💛

[@diaclethian1]

Facts this was no accident

[@laurenceoliver4900]

Truth.

[@arenawhittle587]

Absolutely ever since the 90s the shift, the game plan to ultimately destroy the family structure in our community has been bought and paid for. One thing about it is that we need to stop selling out to our own destruction. We need to stop supporting the whoremongers the no good images of the black man, putting up with his disrespect of you ladies, putting the trash talk record on a throne making him rich. These affirmations that he puts to music and beats, travel infinitely sound travels. It's in the ears of God and he is not pleased with it, so neither should you be when you hold the key to life you are the Gateway to heaven. Don't support that kind of music.

[@RTDavis0503]

Rest in heavenly peace to both of Charlie's brothers

[@micalobe54]

LOOK!!!! ,DON'T LET THEM HURT YOU NOW, CAUSE YOU HAVEN'T HEARD THE REST .BEFORE HE WAS UNCLE CHARLIE.,KEEP LISTENING 😊❤[MICK]

[@RTDavis0503]

​​@@micalobe54been listen to the Gap Band since 1979. They was my favorite group

[@DanielleGillmoreJohnson]

The Gap Band is another great singing group! Charlie's voice hasn't changed in 40+ years. He STILL sounds amazing!

[@gilbertmartinez2637]

This is the real music I grew up listening too

[@arthayzlett7170]

Still bumping this at 60 years old.. and if I live to 90 people will still hear me jamming it as I drive down the road.

[@shirleywalker2943]

This is my favorite song 🎵 by them. Still listening 🎶 in 2023

[@FBA_God_Emperor_Doom]

Yeah that's Charlie.

[@kurtadams3021]

The LEGENDARY Iconic Wilson Brothers aka Gap Band

[@aliciamartin2024]

Find a video! Watch them dance!! Here's the truth...BRING BACK ROMANCE!!!! SLOW DANCE....

[@shelboniramey4030]

This music allowed the men to be men and women to be soft/femine. This is sundresses and walks at dusk. Candles and long kisses. Sitting on the beach watching the horizon.

[@artdogg50]

Charlie, before the uncle! RIP to Robert and Ronnie Wilson.

[@SharonHayes-i7u]

The first time I heard this was my Freshman Year in College and was just blown away by how smooth it was, just mesmerizing!!!

[@veot.2869]

Thank you Ashley!!! One of the greatest groups back in the 80s and 90s. I hope that you go down the rabbit hole and blow up your channel by doing these foundational groups because you have a phenomenal history to uncover!!! The Gap Band (Outstanding, You Dropped the Bomb on Me, etc.), The SOS Band, The Isley Brothers, LTD & Jeffrey Osborne, Earth, Wind and Fire, Shalamar & Howard Hewitt, Teddy Pendergrass (My Latest, My Greatest Inspiration LIVE) Luther Vandross, Barry White, Debarge and so many others!!! You can do as other reactors do and try a few a day (if your camera holds up!!!) I am excited about your potential and discovery of the world before. I certainly am here for advice and support to the younger generations. Let's do this!!! ⭐🎙️🎵

[@tonimcdonald2948]

Yessssss! I agree wit ya.

[@Dirtcake71]

Song is so good it threw Ashley into another dimension. Lol

[@godsson2259]

Queen I'm 43 and I never left this era of music besides my father raising me this music taught me how to be a man and how to love correctly out of cherish what you got.

[@dharp8809]

Trust women of all ages want to hear this... It works.. Romance never left

[@reallife0728]

ABSOLUTE TRUTH!!!!💯💯💯

[@TonyCamacho-l1t]

Ain't listening to old school bands form back in the day so refreshing. There will never be music like this no more.

[@almaofearthia6785]

Yes, this is the kind of music we need more of! So nice to hear a Man's voice singing a love song!

[@michaelhux2272]

I was 21yrs old when this song came out, and we were at a house party in batimore, md jamming hard everybody was just slow danceing all at once. this is what music really sounds like. real men and real women.

[@MyKeeP81]

One of my favorite groups and definitely one of my top singers in Charlie Wilson

[@martyemmons1859]

"Yearnin' For Your Love" by The GAP Band made being on the dance floor when this was released so beautiful. Slow dancing with a beautiful woman was like being in paradise. I can understand why you're 'preaching' for how romantic the songs were. After all, you are a teacher. Right, Ashley?

[@miltonslocum8957]

Naw Ashley, you ain't tripp'n😂 That's definitely Uncle Charlie! Other songs by The Gap Band you'll love are Burn Rubber On Me, You Dropped A Bomb On Me, Outstanding, Early In The Morning, and Party Train. Really enjoying your journey through old school music! There is so much great music from back in the day! Enjoy the ride!😊

[@godsson2259]

😊 this is the first song you play at the cookout Where the hell my Hennessy at I'm about to get me a drink😂

[@reallife0728]

NO DOUBT!!!!😂😂😂

[@emmagardner7071]

glad you are so opened to the music of the past, that was real music. You are my number 1 reactor.

[@keithmurphy5356]

A straight up 2-Step classic.....Gap Band had jams that were all over R&B radio....Charlie Wilson's voice is timeless....Also was sampled for Nas' masterpiece Illmatic. Iconic.

[@ChristopherWilliams-eh6zs]

Giving us all chills 😁🎉❤😊

[@raymondgavins1540]

Shout out to the great Leon Russell for supporting these brothers.

[@generaines6369]

My favorite song by Gap Band (Greenwood, Archer & Pine) and Charlie Wilson. Keep bringing them with "Outstanding", "Early in the Morning", "You Dropped a Bomb on Me", "Going in Circles", "I Don't Believe You Want to Get Up and Dance", "Oops Upside Your Head", "Sweeter than Candy".

[@misterdoe]

Great choice! Charlie Wilson started the Gap Band with his brothers Ronnie and Robert in the 70s. When older brother Robert died, Charlie and Ronnie decided to retire the group, and Charlie went solo.

[@Unplugged7007]

Live in Concert was incredible! Live sounds like the Recording. Blessings to my Uncle's who took me to these live shows with their date's when I was 7, 8, 9, 10 to teens. I saw these Artist's live in their hey day. The Concerts were mostly outside in ball field stadium's with back to back band's and incredible Artist. Rest in peace Uncle Robert who took me with him and his date's. So blessed when I think back.

[@shellyj987]

Wore this entire album out when we were in High School! Straight fire this was!

[@ASMALLS44]

Im 62 years old,,,,this song and album is my college years, cold nights, Univ of Kansas,,Great review Ashley !!!!

[@rochiellebevans1783]

This a bad ass jam. Saw this concert back in like 1983.

[@waynefoster887]

I was in rehab with Charlie. Great brother. Great singer

[@JohnSawruk-k1n]

Yup. That's Charlie!

[@robertroth1042]

Great music , great time to be alive. The 70s were awesome.

[@TonyCamacho-l1t]

Keep dropping these old school gems

[@jackiegreene380]

Heard them sing this song at Budweiser Superfest one summer in LA. The memories!!!

[@helgar791]

Love this song by Charlie and The Gap Band. I really love "Outstanding" even more though. Give that a listen.

[@wesalker3479]

Yup . . . that's Charlie, AND HIS BROTHERS. For real!

[@SuperMarquis69]

This song excites my heart. I feel every note. The rhythm, melody, and chorus hits hard, like a dagger.

[@lovefee1981]

I remember this use to come on mellow moods. I never knew it was the Gap Band and I never connected him to Charlie Wilson. But they were smooth and cool , bring real music back!

[@ingridallen2481]

“Footsteps in the Dark” by The Isley Brothers

[@christinewinn9150]

You seemed to really enjoy old school music, me too.

[@davidanderson8168]

[@KinstonSessoms]

That is indeed Charlie Wilson along with his two brothers Robert and Ronald Wilson the Gap Band.

[@karlrhody2977]

I'm 65 years old and listening to this a long time ago and I was locked in his being one of the best tunes on the list

Love this band! You must react to other songs from them! You will not be disappointed.

[@williamburks8976]

R.I.P Maurice Thomas and thank you for introducing me to the GAP band and so many other artists. The face she makes gives the A1 approval.

[@lyndajones3913]

That face is called 'The Stank Face'!💙

[@Jj-ty7qh]

That’s Charlie, one of the founding members of the gap band. He used to be their lead singer. Man it’s a trip that you are this young and don’t know all this. 😊

[@darrellfarlough5228]

You have to react to two of the greatest love songs of all time: Sparkle by Cameo and Concentrate on You by L.T.D.

[@MarcusPorterfield-o8m]

Yes that is charlie Wilson and his 2 brothers

[@eddie623]

You just don't know the word failure and that's what set's you apart darlin ❤️

[@GinaGeeILuvu]

I love the Gap Band and, yes, that is Charlie Wilson! Long before he was Uncle Charlie, he was sexy Charlie!🔥🔥

[@keithwilliams7411]

You got keep putting the word out on old school (real) music. 😊

[@bjware511]

Definitely one of my favorites, and my favorite Gap Band song!

[@bakercarl8518]

Alright. This song never gets old. Oh yeah , straight up barbeque music. There's the card game going on , uncle RoRo dancing, the kids and tell cousin Roy to stop blocking up the bathroom with that girl!!!

[@michaelcarson7941]

[@ronaldsherrod9643]

Golden era. One of the best samples ever

[@williamburks8976]

[@jamessmallwood5061]

This song was amazing when it first came out and still is amazing. I'm so glad to have grown up in the era of great music . At 60 yrs old when i hear this song it still takes me back to better times man what fun we had back then smh i wish we could bring back this era of good Music 😊

[@Happyandfree67]

Absolutely 💯👍👍👍👍

[@terryluke7667]

Yes that is Uncle Charlie

[@sydboski]

Exactly a cook out song!!!

[@judeshepherd7505]

The GUY featuring Aaron Hall is also classic

[@SuperMarquis69]

Bae, that's Uncle Charlie for real. All day long!

[@keithartis1142]

One of the baddest groups ever. & uncle charlie still is fire at seventy one yrs of age and killing the game as soloist, , I was glad I was able to see them plenty of times perform at the coliseum back in the day, yes this is uncle charlie performing with his late brothers

[@moegillums9301]

Hello Israelites King's and princess's,Charle went off from the gap band on his own

[@mrwrightontyme1]

Try out a group called Mother's Finest title of the song is "Love Changes". I recommend one the the live versions of this song to get the full affect.

[@shirleywalker2943]

Yesss!

[@OmacKendall]

Staple singers let's do it again

[@charlesbarber7523]

Back then you had to know how to play an instrument and not just sing. Charlie and his brothers all from Oklahoma and sang in there dad’s church. Back then the church was the sounding board for artists. Today, majority of new singers can not play an instrument and try to sound like other popular artists. Also back then you knew who was singing because each one or group had distinctive sounds and vocals. Today it’s hard to distinguish who’s who…

[@JonathanClarkston-u7u]

PREACH!! I GREW UP IN THE LATE 70’s& 80’s WHERE SOON AS YOU HEARD THE SONG CAME ON YOU ALREADY KNEW WHO WAS SINGING THAT SONG.SHIIID THESE DAYS I DON’T HAVE A CLUE WHO THE HELL IS SINGING!!!

[@Happyandfree67]

Love my era of grown and sexy music. And yes, Music was truly about LOVE. 👍👍👍

[@BruceFord-lh6zw]

I agree goldenlady

[@waynefoster887]

It is Charlie Wilson

[@MzBettyK]

Great song 🎵. Great reaction, Ashley.

[@romingerism]

I learned that secret a long time ago, but no matter how well I thought I was managing my love situation...I still got burnt a few times. No complaints--that's life.

[@ericcarter2795]

You're right that is Charlie😊

[@tonyjulian1289]

Social Media ruined everything ☹️

[@reallife0728]

ABSOLUTELY!!!!💯💯💯

[@chriswilliams8849]

Lol, these women today aren't ready! They can't handle when a real man speaks his heart and what's deep inside. They think he's soft and that couldn't be farther from the truth.

[@katherinewatkins4182]

GAP band, stands for Greenwood, Archer, and Pine streets in the Wilson brothers historic Greenwood community in Tulsa

[@e.anthonysolano9683]

Luvya mah These your jams Always reminds me of ya My jams forever Viva!

The best well written love song of the century is the original version of endless love with Lionel Richie and Diana Ross.

[@bry3921]

[@OmacKendall]

Linda Jones hypnotized

[@Vonnies1929]

[@Lilsparrow-of4pv]

(Another late comment.) Your reactions to "old school" jams are really good! Keep it going! ✌️😎

[@alsprettycreations8005]

Yep, that's Charlie Wilson, he was with his brothers in the Gap Band before he went solo as Charlie Wilson.

[@credalemabry185]

Damn I was in 5th grade that summer that was the jam

[@bettystalling3435]

Having a bad day, but knew Ashley would turn it around…thanks Ashley! This was a bad a** group back in the day. Keep going down the music rabbit hole - So much more to get into with old soul singers/groups.

[@TheOfficialAshleyReacts]

Hello I am sorry to hear you aren't having the best day but glad I was able to brighten it up a little bit 🥰💖 I Pray your day and week gets better ❣️

[@georgefoster1075]

Please do a reaction to the Isley Brothers "All In My Lovers Eyes". And women's hearts 💕 are the same today as they were 66 years ago (telling on myself). All women want and need to feel loved and appreciated.

[@ronaldmorrow1198]

CHARLIE WILLSON HAS A GREAT LOVE SONG CALLED...WITH OUT YOU..... ONE OF HIS BEST..
