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!

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!

There were only four or five songs that got everybody on the skating rink floor skating This was one of them Thanks for reacting to it Y'all rock like Elvis

More Gap Band please !!! Especially their songs PARTY TRAIN and EARLY IN THE MORNING 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

R.I.P to my Father Robert Wilson and my Uncle Ronnie Wilson of The Gap Band, Much love to Uncle Charlie keeping it going ♥️

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

A great song by Charlie and the Wilson brothers. But "Outstanding" was THE cut by The Gap Band.

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.

The 60s - 90s were the bomb when it came to good music. 💣 💥

"Early in the Morning" is another great one from Gap Band

MY mom use to dance to this when I would play this

You need to listen to Early in the Morning by them. Check out their outfits in this one.

The GAP Band is Iconic and this song is fire 🔥 get up and dance 🕺 🔥

Gap band is GREAT!!! C'mon Shawn and Mel please do a reaction to TEENA MARIE SQUARE BIZ 👍👍👍👍 I promise you won't be disappointed ❤❤❤❤ y'all

I remember being so young when this came out, and to this day I find the beat so exciting….. I could burst…..

The Gap Band is 🔥🔥🔥

Back in the day, this was the jam in the clubs! And … Burn Rubber On Me! And … Early In The Morning! 💜💜💜

“Yearning for Your Love” is my all-time favorite song from legendary Gap Band. Saw them in concert many years ago in Washington DC. The year was 1981. “Uncle”Charlie Wilson lead singer still poppin’ with the slow jams🔥🔥🔥

Oh yes! Everyone on the dance floor for the Gap Band. I've Got To Get Up Early in the Morning should be next. 👍👍👍

You guys should try Yearning For Your Love!!!

They are from my hometown...Greenwood, Archer and Pine "GAP" in Tulsa...lots of history about those streets in T-town.

One of my absolute favorite songs ever. So so good. Love it so much

That’s the amazing Charlie Wilson (Uncle Charlie) as he is now known! He has an amazing voice and performs solo these days! The Gap Band was amazing and fun and this is one of their biggest hits!❤❤

Ultra-cool dancefloor moves & music - The Gap Band.

They are the bomb as we would say back then

The Gap Band has great music and this one is a BANGER !!! You play this tune at any party,club,barbecue or skating rink,watch the change in people's mood,heads start boobing,toes start tapping !! LOL.

Seriously, you two are hearing this for the first time. This song is “the BOMB!! This was a big hit. His name is Charlie Wilson.

Burn Rubber on me and early in the morning are my favorites

As soon as I heard this I was doing the dance!!! 😁🎶🎶🎵🎵🎶🎶😎

Check out "There Goes My Baby" by "Uncle" Charlie Wilson. He was nicknamed Uncle by Snoop. Also, check out his song with Snoop and Justin Timberlake called "Signs."

Gotta do, Early in the Morning, Outstanding, and Party Train!💕💕

My favorite skate song back in the day 🔥🔥🔥

Never knew there was anyone that has never heard this before!! Lol

This song got a lot of play at the dance clubs when it came out. We use to do a dance called “The Rock” when this jam came on. Fun times dancing to this one.

This was a hot one at the roller rinks when I was young. Haven’t heard it in years but love it just the same. Thank you. Love seeing all the old vids because now people can see where these dance crazes started like the cross step and slide. Young people these days think they invented every dance when in reality, we’ve been doing them for 40+ years.

😃😍 GAP Band is Great! One of my favorites!

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 KZfaq.

One of my favorites. Thanks. Happy feet come with this song. I love it.

Your going to love this one .We all do Party On !

You need to listen to their hits Outstanding and Yearning For Your Love.

Such a classic...makes me wanna get up and dance

You had to be on the disco floor when this came on! Such a banger for dance!

This was a dance floor flood back in the day

I'd forgotten about how guys rolled up cigarettes in their t-shirt sleeve. 😆

Next....Party Train!"

Best skating rink song!!!!!

There is a video, somewhere in the world of Me, like a year old, walking, and dancing to this song. Mardi Gras 😸

I fell in love with The Gap Band with this song here when I was a teen in the early 80’s! I found a cassette called Gap Gold when I got my first car and wore it completely out! Early In The Morning may be my favorite! 🔥 🔥🔥

That was the dance floor jam! That’s Charlie Wilson (you know him) on lead and his two brothers 👏🏽

This came out when I was in 9th grade and we TORE UP the floor to this. Love it.

Gap Band You Can't Keep Running In and Out Of My Life

The person singing lead is Charlie Wilson. He's the only member of the GAP band that's still living.

Great times in the clubs with these guys...Awesome pick 👏❤

THE SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You were my hope, baby you were my smoke, but you dropped a bomb......

Reminds me of junior varsity basketball in 8th grade. Back in the day.

Dude! I love your B’moreOriole hat:)

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.

I ❤️ this song! The video plays in my head whenever I hear it. I might look silly because at 58 years old, I can't resist cranking the volume knob for certain songs while driving. I also can't listen to it sitting still....so...you know. 😜🤣😂

This reminds me of taking my 3 younger sisters to a nighttime party out of town. Was a blast.

The best dance song! 💃 ✌❤🎶

OK I’m old but not as old as you think but where I heard the song most was at the skating rink! It’s a jam lol

Everybody went to the dance floor!

The Wilson's are from my city. GAP is an acronym for Greenwood, Archer & Pine streets here in Tulsa. 💚 that reaction!

this song reminds me of roller skating at our local rink.

Love the Gap Band!

Incredible Charlie Wilson

We played this cruising the main drag back in high school, lol. Had those 3x9 Pioneer speakers in the back getting it!

This is a rabbit hole worth going down.

The lead singer is Charlie Wilson aka “Uncle Charlie”

*I danced my A$$ off to this one....seriously! I got no A$$ left since those days, four decades ago.*

Man this group was was the get-go man in the seventies man we heard this song about when I was in the military all of that disco Arab music in the 70s I'll tell you man dropped the bomb on you baby

Yeah, shaking along to this happy number

Remember the gap band, And as always you have great reaction keep up the good work. 👍👏👏 💚

The lead singer of The Gap Band is named Charlie Wilson [ AKA UNCLE CHARLIE]. HE has a solo career. That might be why he sounds familiar to you. Listen to Oops Upside Your Head and Burn Rubber on Me. Enjoy!!!!

One of my favorites!!

Party Train is my fav Gap Band tune. You just have to shake it when that comes on

Oh my god!!!! Memories of Friday and Saturday nights at the Skating Rink. My parents owned one in Bend, Oregon and at 16 I was the DJ. Man those were the days. Thanks for the reaction my friends. Y'all should react to No Parking on the Dance Floor.

Rollerskating! 💜💜💜

Charlie Wilson, he was one of the original members of the Gap Band.

The days when we would hit the skating rink🥰

Old school favorite 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

My dad, sister and I used to love this one

The great funk music of the 80’s

From my clubbing days. These guys were awesome 👌

This song proves my generation was the best. 😘 Gen X

There are different versions of this song All by the Gap Band long version and everything. It's one of my favorite. I remember playing this in my car with the trunk open and blasted it for everybody to hear. This is when I got into Funk pretty hard. Take out a song called HUMPING . 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.

Funny you said he sounds like Stevie Wonder. That was Charlie Wilson's idol

An all time favorite. Great music and prefromerance . Excellent live band. Lead singer Charlie Wilson, has a very nice single career.

Such a great voice

such a big inspiration the fly boys was

My house parties back in the day... This always got played like once an hour lol!

This song went number 2 billboard 1982 39 on dance hits. Charlie Wilson is the man and this song is sick they were dropping this in clubs all over America. All through the 80s. They got short changed on this song it should have gone number one on billboard. There is more on this same album.

Might be considered the "Kings" of funk.

Burn Rubber and OPPS up side the head is my favorite

The Ultimate Band that will get you up dancing for sure BOOM!!!🤜🏼🤛🏼👌👌🎤🎼💯💯

Love it!! This was my song back in Jr.High! This played at all of the school dances along with Freak A Zoid-Midnight Starr..Y`all have been hitting some great songs! Keep On Rockin' Love you guys!

Reactions are awrsome

Getting the vynil tonight like it just hit the radio Waves

When I hear this, it reminds me of being on the school bus with somebody playing this on their huge boom box. 😄
