Wow...after all these years being a solid GAP Band fan...and having this album......and even going to see them in concert....I had no idea there was a video for this.
ANTES HABÍA RITMO, CREATIVIDAD, LETRAS QUE TRANSMITÍAN COSAS....HOY NO EXISTE NADA DE ESO, HAY BURDAS COPIAS, BANDAS QUE HACEN RUIDO EN LUGAR DE MÚSICA, EN FIN....ME QUEDO TODA LA VIDA CON LOS RIDÍCULOS CLÁSICOS DE LOS 60,70,80,90!!!!!
the Bar Kay's kept me company while I was serving in the Army Fort Hood Texas, never forget that sound... they are the bomb, never got the acclaim they should have gotten.
Used to DJ at High School parties back in the late 70's early 80's and usually open the Funk session with this one closely followed by Double Dutch Bus then Rapper's Delight (maybe the first generic Rap song)
1:23 -1:27 Charlie was crip walking, I didn't know Charley could dance like this. He has some major swag! Love this track, and didn't know there was a vid for it, tks for sharing!
First off i would like to extend my condolences to you and your family about Roberts passing away , i knew your dad from back in the day back in Tulsa when we were teenagers mswilson81 im not trying to disrespect anyone or judge anyone , i got info on Gaps problems with lonnie in music business circles and i also heard Charles talk about him too. But as far as the other thing about the recreational extra activity, some names are better left unsaid won't you email me at tradewindzzz @yahoo
What was good about Soul/R&B/Funk music back in the 70's and 80's is that most bands had their distinctive sound. You could tell The Gap Band from Cameo from EWF from Prince from Parliament-Funkadelic.from Zapp.
Nowadays, everyone sounds the same. Especially with that Autotune bullshit.
Its a tripp to think these guys were paid nothing! Charlie Wilson being homeless and hooked on drugs! Greedy MF's in the business who do none of the real work and rip off these talented people! Thank God Charlie defeated drugs, cancer and is back on top again!
Love it! Brings back good memories. I was only 8 when this came out, but I totally remember going skating and to the game room jamming to this. Love this old R&B stuff! Cameo, Earth Wind and Fire, Kool and the Gang, Lionel Richie, Rick James, Dazz Band, Shalamar, Lakeside, DeBarge... Man, they just don't make music like this anymore.
In Lagos,Nigeria,Africa we use to play and replay many times the first ten seconds of this cool funk track.Verry coool!.Better than the rubbish pop drivel played nowadays.
Loved it then, loving it still. Big kiss to the Gap Band. Burn rubber on ME! x
