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

5.0 out of 5 stars I love the Gap Band, November 3, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Gap Gold (Audio CD)
The Gap Band is SOOO awesome! I admit that most of the songs on this CD sound pretty similar, but I don't mind that at all. If this CD doesn't make you want to move, there may be something wrong with you...

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Early 80s Industrial Funk, October 6, 2005
By 
Pablo Parks "Pablo" (Bayonet Point, Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gap Gold (Audio CD)
The Houston based "Gap Band" brought the best hard charging funk in the early 80s. All praise the Wilson brothers for their outstanding instrumental and vocal work evident on this bang up CD. Best tracks are "Burn Rubber", "Shake" and "Early in the Morning". "You Dropped the Bomb on Me" and "The Party Train" are club favorites and very popular outside of the funk scene. There are a few slower R&B numbers that work well especially "Outstanding" which also describes this collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars 4 seasons of funk, September 15, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Gap Gold (Audio CD)
summer time bar b-que and on comes you droped the bomb on me or outstanding, this group with the strong pipes of Charlie wilson ask Aaron Hall or R.Kelly about this vocal genius? and those grooves would be the pre-cursor for Teddy Riley and New Jack swing. once you check this disc out you'll see just how influential this group is still. it's lasting funk and joy.
