Loves, Rosemary

[SpecialFXLady]

Back in my day not only did we have to play our own instruments, but we did it while they were on fire. You call that performing?

[sgtortiz641]

I saw these guys in concert in Tucson, Arizona in 1980 and they rocked! They played with Cameo and Yarborough and peoples. Awesome show!

[averin91]

Fm 92.3 LA the only station in Los Angeles that plays this fantastic music, The Gap Band Early In The Morning, My second best soul funk disco band of all times. That was the best music of the 20th century no doubt about it, everything else after that was and still is just music.

[fifitrooper]

[Cotygeek]

If it has to be explained to you why this is the best music video of all time, then we just need to find you a new brain.

[KEVLY]

@blanco325 My Bad. You're right. I was gettin' my FUNK mixed up. Guess I was referring to Bootsy Collins (EVERYBODY SAY "CINCY" -- HOLLA!) and -- although unrelated -- Parliament and (unrelated) the Ohio Players (I KNOW those Bitches are from Ohio). They all come from the "Old School" -- as the bruthas in the local Justice Center say...We still know how to do it here in the O-HI-O. After all, OH, OK, same diff. We BOTH break it down. (HOLLA OKLAHOMA!) :)

[KEVLY]

@KEVLY P.S. Next time, I'll just say "OH OK". Get it?!

[KEVLY]

OHIO's OWN, Baby. We Bitches in the Midwest CAN Break it Down...

[blanco325]

@KEVLY these guys from OK

[KEVLY]

MORE OR LESS, U WAS A VIRGIN WHEN U LEFT ME. MORE OR LESS...

[richardmbowman]

Old school, new school, whatever! I'm a bit "old school' myself, but I can appreciate anything that's good. As the saying goes, "It's All Good", well it is. But I must admit, this song by The Gap band is THE SHIT! Funk on fellas.

[BLXVISION]

wow havent heard this song for yonkers! I used to have a PA system set up in my room and play guitar along with this song also Cameos "Candy"

[DionKool]

Black music used to have rhythm... Now all these rappers/ r'n'b people don't even know how to play a musical instrument

[AJCTB]

i loved how Jack Knight used the Ride the White Horse sample in Monifah's Touch It

[AJCTB]

6 people have no rhythm

[DionKool]

@AJCTB And they got up late in the morning

[ncg89]

he's getting up early in the morning to find another lover? he should get up early to work and make money. and you old folks wonder why our generation is so messed up. what were ya'll doing when you should have been raising us? chasing after women. shame.

[walk4trot2canter3]

Listening to this is definately an OMG moment!!! Love the flaming drumsticks. I saw 'em do this joint in Kansas City at Kemper Arena in the mid-1980's and heard this on the radio today! I love the Gap Band!!!

[DannyBruiz]

[drjamyma]

[Pirate7X]

Their choreography was tight! You definitely see where Guy got it from.

[JJ13233343]

HIS DRUMSTICKS ARE ON FIRE PEOPLE!

[brokerightfoot1]

i love it!!!

[kjuhas68]

This came out when I was a teen and it was amazing... was my favorite jam back in the day.. these guys and it goin on for sure!!

[mcgmcmullin]

Sorry, young'uns. Your music today just can't compare with the soul and funk of old skool. Soulful, sultry, sexy without being crass.  Ain't no skool like old skool.

[TheEsko]

@mcgmcmullin yeah man i'm tired of hearing everyone say swag like anything today can compare with the 70's

[soulshadow7669]

@mcgmcmullin Tell em'! Skinny Jeans nowadays just don't know!!

[jessicascorpio1]

@mcgmcmullin They know it. That's why they are always remaking old school songs! LOL.

[CHACONBOY209]

@mcgmcmullin dude i agree.. 2days muzik sux!!

[dpkvwells]

@mcgmcmullin you can get an amen for that

[tafficjammer64]

@dpkvwells amen!

[rock962000]

@mcgmcmullin I'm a young'un and I 100% agree with you, lol.

[KatoKid85]

@mcgmcmullin What people dont realize is there is way more music out there than whats on the radio. There's tons of great funky music out there today, you just gotta know where to look. A great example of this is Jamiroquai. Check him out.

[mcgmcmullin]

@KatoKid85 I'm familiar with Jamiroquai and his acid jazz style. I really like what he and the group are doing. Just caught a live performance of them at the Montreaux Jazz Festival through YouTube. Good stuff.

[Juline1221]

@mcgmcmullin but look who charlie wilson is making music with now.....not the "old school" folks the "young'uns".i think older music is better today but it is what it is. whats already old cant get get any newer. but i am on your side the young'uns make all kinds of music but it all mainstream sounds the same and the is what all the older heads here witch gives the younger people bad reps. we aint all the same

[Tj6297]

@mcgmcmullin I know stop rubbin it in LOL i am 14 and wish i was born in the "Good Ol Days"

when u had to have class to get a girlfriend and all of my generation wasn't gettin kill or doing

dirt...............Peace

[Syndromic]

@mcgmcmullin They probably said the same thing about soul and funk when it came out, infact Jazz and the likes were banned in some countries for a long while. *Cough* Kinda getting a bit like a broken record, but I agree to some extent. However, there is a lot of underground music, like the continuation of Neo Soul and RnB that is a lot better then a lot of old school music. HOWEVER, if not for our predecessors where would we be. We only have ourselves to blame.

[mcgmcmullin]

@Syndromic I've been listening to some of the Neo Soul music coming out, and it is really wonderful. It captures a lot of the old skool vibe while putting a contemporary spin on it. I intend to listen to it more closely.

[redsglory805]

@mcgmcmullin quit acting like youre the shit. just because youre the oldest generation to figure out the internet doesnt mean youre true old school. go comment on some graham central station or parliament and talk about real old school. The 80s arent that old.

[wackpdot1]

@redsglory805 lmao be easy!

[mcgmcmullin]

@redsglory805 Wow, what an unbelievably rude reply.

[23imo23]

@mcgmcmullin and i am fockin mastah in iht

[mac609]

LOL. Uncle Charlie is still schooling the youngins today. 

[MrPanchovilla22]

Made me want to buy a white cowboy suit and dance.

[Felicia1083]

If I close my eyes, the lead singer sounds like Andre 3000.

[MizzBrandyB]

@Felicia1083 , I was thinking the SAME thing, the attitude, the move, the feel of him is great like Andre 3000!

[bluntedjester1]

It took this Brad Pitt Movie to remember this Old school.

[biggrip1967]

who the hell got the nerve to dislike this

[Anthony67909]

nobody sounds like Charlie Wilson.....one of a kind talent.!!!

[bikermama33]

they don't make shit like this anymore

[tuffy2342]

Enjoyed the hell out of it!

[faith2xxx]

Ev'ry damn body had dance steps back in the day!

[kesfatih]
