Biography

The Gap Band were three brothers from Tulsa, Oklahoma, who had a string of R&B hits in the early 80s. Ronnie, Charlie and Robert Wilson had been writing, touring and recording together since 1973, but it wasn't until 1979 when they eventually signed to Mercury Records that they found success. The Gap Band featured a No.4 R&B hit called "Shake", and The Gap Band II (actually their fourth album)… Read more in Amazon's Gap Band Store

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

This expansion of the Gap Band's 12" Collection by two cuts adds up to the Oklahoma funk outfit's definitive statement. Excising drab ballads and pulling together lengthy but consistently exciting mixes of signature tracks such as "You Dropped a Bomb on Me," "Party Train," and "Burn Rubber (on Me)," this album points to the group's best work as some of '80s funk's most audacious and entertaining music. --Rickey Wright

5.0 out of 5 stars Gap Band 12" only way to appreciate them, June 25, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The 12 Inch Collection & More (Audio CD)
The Gap Band bucked the trend of syntho beat and was one of the first bands to use heavey base lines in their music. They have got one of the most wicked grooves of the era, and their rein on the dance floor ruled for 6 yrs solid. The version of Burn rubber on this cd is the only one any true funk/dance fan wants to have

5.0 out of 5 stars great, February 22, 2000
This review is from: The 12 Inch Collection & More (Audio CD)
this disc reflects the grand Grooves of the Gap Band.it adds more layers of funk.the Horns&Bass are dead square in the Pocket.and it takes nothing away from the vocals.they never lost the Groove during the Synth&drum Machine Happy 80's.
