The Gap Band was an American R&B and funk band that rose to fame during the 1970s and 1980s. The band consisted of three brothers: Charlie , Ronnie, and Robert Wilson, along with other members; it was named after streets (Greenwood, Archer, and Pine) [ 1 ] [ 2 ] in the historic Greenwood neighborhood in the brothers' hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma .
The humorous monologues throughout the song by Gap Band lead singer Charlie Wilson were inspired by his cousin Bootsy Collins' own humorous slant in his songs.; Wilson's spoken intro, "this is radio station W-GAP", was a reference to Parliament's opening line in "P. Funk (Wants to Get Funked Up)", "welcome to radio station W-E-F-U-N-K, better known as WE-FUNK."
Since their inception in 1967, the Gap Band has released 16 studio albums, 12 compilation albums and 2 live albums. They released nine self-titled albums (including two of the same name). Each album does not reflect which number they released, only which point it is in the series ( Gap Band IV , for example, is actually their sixth album).
