    Re: I LUV DA GAP BAND

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 6, 2001

    Okay, let's break it down for the kids. The Gap Band is funk, Al Green is countrifried gospel soul. They are not even in the same genre. The one thing they both have in common is they make their own music, instead of reconstructing old songs and t...he same synth guitar and syncopated Timbaland drum beats that are killing R&B today. Count your blessings we have the Gap Band and Charlie Wilson's beautiful voice. With classics like "Yearning for your love", "Burn Rubber/Why you wanna hurt me", and the gem, however overplayed, "You dropped a bomb on me", you can't miss. This is what funk is supposed to sound like, The Wilson brothers are a great band that was one of the best the 70's and 80's had to offer. Read more Less

Pro Reviews: Ultimate Collection

  • All Music Guide

    This 19-track collection does come very close to fulfilling its promise of delivering the Ultimate Collection, delivering all the group's big hits -- "Shake," "Burn Rubber (Why You Wanna Hurt Me)," "I Don't Believe You Want to Get up and Dance (Oops up Side Your Head)," "Early in the Morning," "You Dropped a Bomb on Me" -- as it stretches through all of the Gap Band's recordings for Mercury/Total. In some ways, it might stretch a little bit too far, as it extends all the way into two 1990 tracks, but as a relatively comprehensive, far-reaching retrospective of the band at its peak, this fills the bill (plus, it's topped off by nice packaging and good notes by Sean Ross).

Biography

The Gap Band

The first major hit for the Gap Band was a snazzy juke toon called "Shake." Just prior to the completion of their first album, Charlie Wilson cited the song for his brothers thinking they might ridicule the lyric. His brothers loved it though, and the song was a smash number four single on the RB charts, elevating the group to national status.Born and raised in Tulsa, O... Read more
