One of their greatest songs ever! A masterpiece of their talent and genius! I was so fortunate to see them in concert in the 1980's. Gap Band headlined, Roger and Zapp, opened and Midnight Star in the middle. R&B/Funk Heaven!!
My home boys from Tulsa Oklahoma shouting out thanks for real soul music!🎤🎷❤❤💯 remember you grew up on Greenwood Archer and Pine stands for THE GAP band. coldest group ever!!!! love it!
Superb easy-listening composition, (probably influenced by the ascendant Grover Washington-led smooth jazz movement) that helped to make the album it appeared on ( Gap Band 4? Gap Band 5) one of the group’s best outings and solidified their status as stars.Showing off his creativity, lead singer Charlie Wilson seemingly ad-libs the lyrics here, the same way he does at the end of the Zapp Band’s record “Computer Love”.
One of my all time favorites. When I play this song, I find myself in a more reflective and peaceful place. I can almost deal with the loss of a loved one.
A really funny jazzy-soulful nice song by one of the greatest outfits to ever display African American genius. The current generation need to get black to this clean, sweet music that has no confusions. Money and infamy is not all that. Gap Band forever! I am from Afrika, so I know what I am talking about.
The Gap Band III and Gap Band IV were the best albums they ever made. Timeless classics. If I had a pound for every time I've listened to tracks from both since they came out all those years ago, I'd be a very rich man!
Man I forgot all about this song. I only remember Yearning for Your Love, played it to death, forgot all about this one! What a great song. Real music and singers, miss that so much in today’s world. I need to go pull out my Gap Band albums, they one of my favorite band group back in the day! Many many great songs, Drop the Bomb, Outstanding, Burn Rubber, so many more. Thanks for sharing this video, i got here listening to El DeBarge cover this song during one of his live performance here on YT. Beautiful song.
WOW......This one brings back real good memories of East St.Louis Ill,AKA East Boogie,On any givin weekend night at the Mary Brown Center with the lights down low slow dancing/steppin this is when music was music.
The horns open this up and leaves no doubt that the fire is about to come Charlie, CLASSIC.. at 3:48 it takes me back to them good slow dragging days... Charlie Rips It.....
wow! the 80s , when music really meant something, Those was the days...And if you wasn"t here to experience the 80s. You haven't experienced anything..
This is a Great Ballard. I'm from New Orleans and I love that horn. It reminds me of of our great horn player's from The Big Easy. This LP is a MASTERPIECE!
I remember hearing this be played on the radio when I was younger, but didn't remember it being by GB. Besides Outstanding, this is my all time favorite Gap Band song.
This brings back sooo many memories, here in Cleveland Ohio we do a hand dance slow and cool this was the number one dance tune in the early 80s thanks for posting
Just broke up with my girl. Missing the hell out of her right about now. You know those feelings you get. Thought this song is perfect for how I'm feeling. So I got it on Loop......
Incredible that Charlie ended up living on the streets at one time in the 1990's. How the hell that was ever allowed to happen I just don't know. So glad he came storming back with his solo career.
The Devil runs you all... only a select few are still good ... so if it looks as if the select few might hate ... they don’t ... it’s just them fighting off evil like u ... don’t turn it around on the good against evil ...!!!
I met Jimi at a pub in Morro Bay in 2004. I told him, I like your song ride the train. And he sang a little for me damn he was good. I am sad that he died.
it was an under rated to me I was going to a community college and dating a girl in the projects she stole my heart broke up with me I had this cassette and I wore it out she eventually got back with me then we broke up again but that time I had the upper hand laugh out loud non I'm married to a different woman and we've been married for 29 years praise the Lord
This song hypnotizes me back in the day how you slow dance with the girl all the tight and whisper in my ear how much you care about her that is amazing music why we don't make that anymore
I CAN NOT DRINK MY CROWN, and listen to this song while I’m reminiscing in the “ Studio of Luv “ !!! I’ve tried but I just can’t do it!! Fellas it’s always that ONE or maybe that second one 🤔!
...rip Granddaddy, Mother, ManMan, Ms. Doris, Mr. Butchie, KennyDude, and all the other loved ones....y'all are so missed and we love y'all so much... :'(
Música boa nunca será esquecida.... O verdadeiro Soul music, o original funky, R&B.... Só assim para ouvir música de verdade....se uma coisa eu vivo de passado é de músicas e carro !😎✌️
The horns are sick on this track. Love it!
Ronnie Wilson if I'm not mistaken
🎯🎯
Yeah, there is something kind of laid back and lazy about that horn sound - truly unique and brilliant.
@@sherwinfitz Nope you're not mistaken !!!!!!
Saw them in 1994 and they KILLED THIS. Total live instrumentation.
One of their greatest songs ever! A masterpiece of their talent and genius! I was so fortunate to see them in concert in the 1980's. Gap Band headlined, Roger and Zapp, opened and Midnight Star in the middle. R&B/Funk Heaven!!
Intro is crazy! Always loved this one! One of the most under rated songs of the 80's
+ANTHONY PRESTON It was overshadowed by all those bomb hits (Dropped the Bomb, Early in the Morning, and Outstanding). This whole album was smokin'!
Surely Was!
Truth!!!!!
@@sherwinfitz
Gap Band had three albums with all hits III; IV and V.
The dramatic ending was even better than the intro. 👍🏾
One of the most underrated R&B ballads in history!!!! 👊🏾❣️
One of my absolute favorite Gap Band songs!!! Still Loving it and Listen to it in July 2023
This Track is still dope even in 2021. It's basically a Jazz track with a dash of vocals...amazing!
And I agree..no wonder I like it..
A timeless treasure! Wonderful music! I remember listening to this entire album every day! So many wonderful memories.
i used to wear this album out too :)
My home boys from Tulsa Oklahoma shouting out thanks for real soul music!🎤🎷❤❤💯 remember you grew up on Greenwood Archer and Pine stands for THE GAP band. coldest group ever!!!! love it!
This is straight up old school when music was COLD as ICE!
yes
Back in the days when when music was music R&B Eastside to the Westside💯
Twice as Nice the jams back in the day The Gap band Charlie Wilson The originals Uncle Charlie ♥️☝️
And twice as nice!
@@dennissimpson8074 ]p]]]]
his voice is timeless
+Vincent Jones The Gap Band and Charlie in their prime. What a beauty.
Very very , 😍 beautiful.
I remember being very young listening to this with a deep connection... not even experiencing life yet...but felt the emotion
This is one of my all time favorite song from Uncle Charlie. My aunts told me stories about him when they attended Langston University. RIP Aunties.
this lp was loaded with so many jams this gem right here went under the radar
The Gap Band arrives. Superb album!
Superb easy-listening composition, (probably influenced by the ascendant Grover Washington-led smooth jazz movement) that helped to make the album it appeared on ( Gap Band 4?

3:55 is the point where I fell in love with the Gap Band. Thanks for the great music.
This song will always does it for me!
Yesssss!!!
Man oh man!!
One of my all time favorites. When I play this song, I find myself in a more reflective and peaceful place. I can almost deal with the loss of a loved one.

The trumpet lead is one of THE craziest EVER!!!!
Flugelhorn
@Forensic Accountant you AGAIN??? SHUT UP
The Gap Band III and Gap Band IV were the best albums they ever made. Timeless classics. If I had a pound for every time I've listened to tracks from both since they came out all those years ago, I'd be a very rich man!
This is exactly how I feel...sometimes you meet that one person that you cant get over... ❤💋

One of the best song
The horns open this up and leaves no doubt that the fire is about to come Charlie, CLASSIC.. at 3:48 it takes me back to them good slow dragging days... Charlie Rips It.....
wow! the 80s , when music really meant something, Those was the days...And if you wasn"t here to experience the 80s. You haven't experienced anything..
I'm glad my dad was a DJ in the 80's I was schooled with all that good music
Love that break near the end guys were great.

Just broke up with my girl. Missing the hell out of her right about now. You know those feelings you get. Thought this song is perfect for how I'm feeling. So I got it on Loop......
I’m 22.. my pops use to play this song. An underrated classic
Charlie Wilson deserves MUCH more praise than the Industry has shown him and his brothers. Such a damn shame
The Gap Band was the biggest band name in R&B in the early 80s. 2nd only to maybe EWF and Kool & The Gang
Incredible that Charlie ended up living on the streets at one time in the 1990's. How the hell that was ever allowed to happen I just don't know. So glad he came storming back with his solo career.
This is an amazing song. I was a teenager when it came out. I still love it as much as the 1st time I heard it!
1970,1980,&1990s where the decade that had the best music hands down!!!!!!
Charlie Wilson is a musical genius. He stay relevant! I love uncle Charlie 🥰 You still looking good! God Bless you! 😊
Facts ❤️❤️❤️
Underrated classic from a legendary group
I tell my wife all the time "they don't make music like this anymore because the world is loosing its soul to too much hate."
Myron Johnson :I agree with you, its so sad but we have to play this music around those that don't know. 9-11-16
The Devil runs you all... only a select few are still good ... so if it looks as if the select few might hate ... they don’t ... it’s just them fighting off evil like u ... don’t turn it around on the good against evil ...!!!
I agree
🎯
Yes my Lord to to much hate that's why I stay Prayed up n praying fa my ppl n whoever else needs Prayer.
Robert was a classmate and friend.....Love these men
I met Jimi at a pub in Morro Bay in 2004. I told him, I like your song ride the train. And he sang a little for me damn he was good. I am sad that he died.
He also was who he was you can tell you get what you see on tv. Such a happy bubbly person just like in his music videos
Love it
Ive loved this song since it first came out. I love it just the same today 25+ years later!
me too!
I've seen the gap band 2 or 3 times wen i was younger and wow what a performance...🎺
