[seand67]

@kazzels Word ?

[Buckeyecat2002]

This outstanding party train wakes me up, wide, early in the morning and hits me upside my head late at night.

[seand67]

@Buckeyecat2002 Thanks...;~)

[Rodrigolealanabalon]

exelente grupo funk que esta entre los mas grandes sin duda alguna con la inconfundible voz del gran charlie wilson saludos a los fans del funk de hualpen chile

[deanjones99]

this is one greatest band ever for that time love them/charlie is still doing it

[seand67]

@deanjones99 Yep

[Buckeyecat2002]

At 10:00 This epic piece of video really begins to get greasy, lowdown, nasty and oustandingly gapodelic.

[seand67]

@Buckeyecat2002 LOL...Glad you enjoyed it!

[Buckeyecat2002]

@seand67 Yes, the late Ronnie Wilson, unsung bass popper extraodinair, started a little funky praise break groove, beginning at about 10.00 of this piece. About as nasty as a Gap groove gets. I have been playing this again and agaqin for some reason. May God bless his soul and may he rest in piece.

[chapelhill1034]

They don't make good music like that anymore

[chapelhill1034]

Great video!!!!

[HakaCity]

I love these guys, they're still funky as....

[TheMillersTale2001]

R & R from afghanistan and iraq, after this back to killing third world folks for dubbya and obarmy

[TheSuperdarek]

To są Goście  !!! d.

[herkeda]

Now THIS is what I'm talking about right here! Real R&B music, playing their own instruments. Where is this generation's Gap Band? We haven't seen an honest-to-goodness R&B band (not group) chart in the U.S. since the early 1990s. A return is LONG overdue....

[Buckeyecat2002]

12:00 P.M., December 31, 2011: This piece is still stanking. Happy New Year People. God bless everybody around our little planet in a very large galaxy.

[platinump23]

2 people had Uncle Charlie steal thier women Early In The Morning and the he started Humpin day and night she said Ooh Baby.

[jocee3]

Black people can sing. Did ya'll hear that crowd?

[Buckeyecat2002]

Sinbad cut 'em off at the end, just as they were getting ready to have some chu'ch, Greenwood, Archer and Pine style. OMG!!!

[Buckeyecat2002]

From @ 9:47- on This mini show really begans to get stanky and greasy too death. Just turn your youtube speakers up.

[XE1GXG]

Not just black folk. Everybody loves the GAP Band. ¡Recuerdos de LA! Sube la bueeeena música...

[ahrayahthelion]

I remember this show like it was yesterday! Damn, it's great you uploaded the video. Me and my brotha, Darryl Miles (RIP) was there we hung out with Charlie, Robert, Terry, Calhoun and the rest of The Gap Band at the hotel having fun and tripping out laughing. Damn, do I remember this. Thanks for adding it!

[Flair1956]

We need Sinbad to host the Playboy Jazz Festival in Los Angeles; he is quite entertaining. He will bring a spunk and spice that will take this event even more over the top!

[tccgroove]

This video is so hi quality!!

So it's a treasure video!!

The Gap Band Live is passionately and amazing!!

Real Funk is here!!

Robert , Rest in peace.

[seand67]

[samella35]

Charley, still fine as hell.

[mrthundaboots]

Some beautiful women at this affair!I would've killed somebody to play this gig!(-;

[ILoveItKinky]

How cool would it be if Uncle Charlie Wilson really WAS your uncle?

[Hulk2k6]

My post was in reference to Burn Rubber.

[Hulk2k6]

The one person disliking this probably had Charlie Wilson steal his woman and drive off into the night w/ her to this song!

[JonnyLikesPie]

whistling for the changes has never been so badass

[grooveskin]

Paul Jackson On Guitar

[phenbuz]

Thanks seand67 for bring me the great moment of music.  Fantastic GAP BAND blows my mind. Magic festival. Thanks Sinbad.

[seand67]

@phenbuz You're more than welcome. Gotta keep REAL music alive.

[samella35]

Charley havin' Church up in dis shit!!!!! Still got his swag. Time has been kind to him. Bless.

[seand67]

@samella35 Thanks for the comments, but did you have to say "Swag"??? LMAO...

[samella35]

@seand67 Yes, "swag". I'm 49, so i still use ole skool terms.

[seand67]

@samella35 I'm only a few years younger than you. Never heard the "swag" crap until this current less creative generation decided to use it in every song, rap, sentence, response, etc. Use of "Swag" has become nothing but an ignorant fad just like sagging jeans. It's time to bury both! At any rate, long live real music from the old school.

[samella35]

@seand67 Hey King, I majored in English in College. I don't need any lessons on what's ignorant, and what's not. I have no respect for the English language which i was forced to learn, the English man or England, period. I wish i had my original language. English language is racist inherently. The black sheep of family, black balled, little white lie, etc. So, i'll use the bastard English as i see fit, period.

[flamairzah]

Outstanding !!!!!!!!!!

[boulwli1]

This was The older, more seasoned, GAP BAND!!! Just like a fine wine, their sound got better, and sweeter with age!!! R.I.P. Robert Lynn Wilson.

[CombatArmsReview1000]

damn robert really thumped the hell out of the bass  this song....mmmmm....make ya head nod all the time damn that bass..ced

[glenrich84]

Sinbad, plz bring back tha summer jam!!

[seand67]

@glenrich84 Sorry, but it's not gonna happen. HBO killed the Summer Jam, but you may find DVDs on Ebay, etc

[ruthbuilt]

@glenrich84  hbo needs to be gently pressured to plug it back in!!!!

[seand67]

@ruthbuilt I wish they would wake up and renew this series.

[MordazPerro]

temazo !!! ctmreeeee

[BlacksAreBeautiful]

Damn! GAP tore this shit down!!!!!

[TheSweetish1]

CHARLIE LOOKN ALL SWEATY AND SOUNDED ALL GOOD!!!!

HE'S TURNING ME ON!!!!

[BlacksAreBeautiful]

@TheSweetish1 Damn..i hope you're a woman..lol

[mcpagano1963]

Gap Band is the BEST...

[kingofbeast23123]

I'm only 13 and the gap has been my best band ever but i like this version of oops up side ya head better because it has that hard knocking soul that if you bop your head it may fall off just listen to the original version to it and listen to this thumbs up if u think I'm right thumbs down if u just ain't feeling me

[xdennisclawsonx]

one of the last great "REAL BANDS"

[seand67]
