The Gap Band - Outstanding REACTION

[@janetarrington7953]

Lead singer is Charlie Wilson, still doing his thang until this day. He is now better known as 'Uncle Charlie'.

[@HiroForever]

Yes!!! And unlike so many, his voice has not fallen off.

[@manfria3478]

Everybody knows him

[@valerieholmes5404]

I had an amazing opportunity to watch him put on a show @Cascade Park in Tallahassee, Fl. He did not miss a beat! When I say he put on a show, he PUT ON A SHOW!! Thrill of a lifetime if you all ever get to his show!

His live shows are worth every dime!

FACTS

[@nathanneelyoutlawdiditprod2891]

It's no exaggeration to say that Charlie Wilson is one of the truly legendary voices in R&B, and music as a whole, history. No one sounds like him. The group ranks as one of the greatest. Their Live shows displayed that they were just that, a true Band and were, pun intended, Outstanding. Go through their catalogue, you won't be disappointed. "Yearning For Your Love" is a suggestion

[@Wally-H]

Have you seen his Tiny Desk concert? It's an event.

[@ralphjefferson6773]

You really do need to hear “You Dropped A Bomb on Me.” Great song and it has a historical connection Tulsa, OK, where the band comes from. GAP stands for Greenwood, Archer and Pine streets in Tulsa, where they grew up and where Black Wall Street was until it was “bombed” in 1921.

When this song debuted in NYC the radio stations used to play it twice in a row., that’s what you call fire 🔥

[@leeharrison8222]

“Outstanding” is a timeless classic by The Gap Band that never gets old. It’s got that smooth-a$$ groove sounds just as good today in 2021 as it did in the early 80s. This is Black cookout music right here. All about positivity and love. 🤎❤️🤎

[@Whitebrowpriest]

Fun fact: this song is so good, it was sampled in over 95 songs; including "Back to You" feat. O.T. Genesis and Christ Brown (2020), and "Come Up" by G-Unit (2014). Outstanding was only officially covered by other bands 6 times, probably because the original is such a perfect song, not many dare to redo it and be held to its standard of excellence. :)

[@nezahualcoyotlzinlope2471]

911 by Tyler the Creator is prob my favorite

Yes, the Gap Band! You all reacted to Charlie Wilson (lead singer) - "There Goes My Baby" on 12/31/2020 that's on Patreon. Gap Band consists of three brothers, Charlie, Ronnie and Robert Wilson (deceased). "Uncle" Charlie overcame addictions to cocaine and alcohol; being homeless and recovered from prostate cancer! He is currently making music at the tender age of 68 and he's actively touring. He gives great concerts and is still full of energy. Thanks for bringing yet another BANGER! ❤❤❤

@@gness4782 I see you trying to be smart. But its been documented here that, Fred has his mannerisms, Tim has his, because they aren't Identical twins. Fred drums or strums, Tim makes his faces when they really feel the music. There are huge studies that show fraternal twins have very different personalities and mannerisms from their sibling unlike identical twins which often exhibit very similar behaviors and mannerisms. Obviously you might want to watch more of their reviews to see how rare it is for Fred to make a Tim face.😉
