Mate I'm a white Geezer in London 'England' Myself and my friends were big fans of the Gap Band back in the day, this still gets played at our parties & get togethers 😎👌
This song was more popular in the black community than "Early In The Morning" and "You Dropped The Bomb On Me". This is one of my all time favorites....you should also check out "Yearning For Your Love".
@@Skeezer66 that song reminds me of my friend high school! I can't hear it without laughing and thinking her! I said, Oops, up-side side your head, said Oops upside your head!!!
******** Front Man CHARLIE WILSON [often called Uncle Charlie] is Still Here, having done Collabs with Boyz II Men & Smokey Robinson. They named their Band after their TULSA Streets of Greenwood, Archer & Pine.
@odellsumter805 I am looking for the win today. I don't like playing y'all 'cause I really like Mike Tomlin and Russell Wilson. I know it's going to be epic. Might also be a Super Bowl preview. May the best team win. 💚🩶💚
The GAP BAnd is always good. Yearning for Your Love, Humpin’, Early in the Morning, Shake your Booty etc. Plenty of funk. Plenty of soul. Plenty of fire!
“Outstanding “ is the quintessential must have on repeat play . It’s just the best groove and it’s a appropriate anytime of the year for all occasions. I would recommend “ Yearning For Your Love”… enjoy
The Gap Band had a string of funky soul hits in the late seventies/early eighties! The lead singer, Charlie Wilson, is still making amazing new music and touring!❤❤
Taking me back to the days I would spin this tune during those Sunday afternoon BBQ's . Nothing like a slow jam to get you into a peaceful state of mind.
YES!!!!! You just reacted to their best song, in my opinion!!!! The PERFECT jam skate song 🛼 The runner up that you may want to react to is “OOPS UPSIDE YOUR HEAD” 🔥🔥🔥
Funny, Rob got into it as soon as the drums started in the intro and Amber did as soon as she heard the voice! lol Ya'll are too cute! Love the GAP band!!!
The GAP Band is the ABSOLUTE truth! So wonderful for you to give the beautiful tribute of this timeless classic to your beautiful wife. This song is more proof that I grew up in the best musical era there will EVER be. What a blessing. May anyone reading this ALWAYS be blessed with good health, happiness, love, peace, and prosperity. ✨️😊💛
My siblings and I were playing cards the other night; my brother in law is the DJ on card night; this came on and my brother and I were singing this full tilt 😂❤️
Miss these times, going out and everyone getting along all night long. Dancing till sunrise like vampires. Eating at Dennys and sleeping half the day. Yearning for your love another great jam.
This song is always in my playlist. Back in the 90's, when we all had answering machines hooked up to our landline phones, the beginning of this song was the background of my outgoing message.
Charlie Wilson of the GAP Band has a successful solo career. Some of his recordings are, Charlie Last Name Wilson, There Goes My Baby, ( Might be Jays new song to Amber after he hears it. I'm sure t thats what he was thinking when he first saw her.) My Love Is All I Have and All My Love, featuring Smokey Robinson. (Didn't get much air play. But it deserves a reaction, simply because it's Charlie and Smokey)
One group that you guys need to react to is Shalamar, from the eighties. They are an R&B/pop group who have many great, great songs. Trust me you will like and even love their music once you start listening to their catalogue. Start with 'I can make you feel good, A night to remember, make that move, there it is, The second time around. I'm telling you they are awesome and you will love them. A couple of side notes. Jeffrey Daniel of Shalamar is the one who taught Michael Jackson how to do the 'Moonwalk and Jody Watley had a great solo career of her own after leaving Shalamar with hits like Looking for a New Love and Don't You Want Me, which are great songs as well. This music never gets old and it would be great for you guys to bring some additional exposure to them so that the younger folks can also appreciate more great music of the past that they haven't heard before.
R. Kelly, Aaron Hall, KC from Jodeci all got their vocal influence for Charlie Wilson. Gotta react to "Yearnin For Your Love" and "You Dropped A Bomb On Me"
Y'all gotta do Oops Upside Your Head. They are on some serious Parliament funk with that one and then try Yearning For Your Love for their smooth R&B side.
This is my favorite Gap Band song! And it really epitomizes the ‘80s R&B that I LOVED. Hail WKYS radio out of D.C. back in the day! Renee and Angela, Midnight Star, Kashif, Confunkshun, etc. So many great songs. ❤ P.S. Yearning for Your Love should be next!
This is one of my favorites! Another underrated but very popular one by them is Yearning For Your Love. The GAP Band consists of 3 brothers - Charlie, Robert and Ronnie, and all 3 are talented multi instrumentalists. Someone referred to Robert Wilson as the Godfather of the Bass Guitar. He kills it in every song. Charlie Wilson's lead vocals remain unparalleled to this day. "Uncle" Charlie Wilson and Ron Isley of The Isley Brothers are supposed to be doing a record together soon. Ron's vocals on the The Isley Brothers' popular song Voyage to Atlantis is hauntingly beautiful, so these 2 old school powerhouses on one new record will be outstanding! Love your reactions!
Charlie Wilson from the Gap Band has a Contemporary Christian song called I'm Blessed that is soooo Wonderful that I recommend watching &/or listening to!
Man, this is one of my favorite songs of all time, and when you both broke down all the things I love about this song, it damn near brought tears to my eyes.
Amber & Jordan, The Gap Band 1970's & 1980's Funk Band n their lead singer is Charlie Wilson with his 2 brothers Ronnie & Robert. Rip Ronnie & Robert!!! U guys r gonna be have a great treat, these guys have great music n videos of their group/. I'm gonna give u all their great hits that U guys need to react. 1)Party Train (My Favorite); 3)Burn Rubber On Me (Why U Wanna Hurt Me); 4)Who Do You Call; 5)Beep A Freak; 7)Oops Upside Your Head; 8)Humpin; 9)I Found My Baby; 10)Shake; 11)Yearning For Your Love. Amber & Jordan Check them out, u guys will not be disappointed.
Please, Jay, as for Tulsa guys, the man who IS The Tulsa Sound, JJ Cale, and never forget Jim Keltner (Buster Sidebury) the best session drummer ever. Always loved The G.A.P. Band, thanks bud
Love their slow jam. You Dropped A Bomb on Me, Oops Upside Yo Head. Sometimes you just gotta dance. This was big at the roller rink. Thanks again for the smile.
Y'all really need to listen to some Bar-Kays. They were around in the '60s, but I know them best by their '70s & '80s songs: Freakshow On The Dance Floor ('84), Too Hot To Stop ('76), Shake Your Rump To The Funk ('76). Love the R&B from this era. I'll throw in Prince's Thieves in The Temple ('90) for your next Prince reaction. A bit later than your most recent song (You've Got the Look '87) so a totally different sound and look.
Well, if you talk about country music we have Garth Brooks, Reba , Vince gill, Toby keith, Ronnie Dunn from Brooks and Dunn,not to mention Carrie Underwood and many more.
Definitely a GAP band classic! This song got sampled in 1995 for the song "Every Little Thing I Do" by Soul For Real, which you should also check out. Going back to '80s funk/R&B songs, take a listen to "Don't stop the Music" by Yarbrough and Peoples.
As a DJ, this is one of those "must play" songs. This will rock every black cookout and wedding. Guaranteed.
Us Latinos as well. Gap Band is La Vida
It was definitely on all our cookout and block party playlists growing up ❤
Mate I'm a white Geezer in London 'England' Myself and my friends were big fans of the Gap Band back in the day, this still gets played at our parties & get togethers 😎👌
yessssssssssssssssssssssss!
It was massive in London too. Still is.
This song was more popular in the black community than "Early In The Morning" and "You Dropped The Bomb On Me". This is one of my all time favorites....you should also check out "Yearning For Your Love".
YES, TOTALLY!
I don’t know about you guys, but in my neighborhood “Party Train” was pretty popular too. Guaranteed to be played at house and yard parties.
I LOVE Yearning for Your Love!!
Yearning is one of the most sublime love songs ever recorded
Fact's
Jay & Amber, you'll love their "Oops Up Side Your Head" and "Party Train"!!
Oooh, "Oops Upside Your Head" is great!!!
Shake and Stay With Me too.
Yeah Party Train is a big wow. Especially the action video.
Yes! “Oops Upside Your Head”!
@@Skeezer66 that song reminds me of my friend high school! I can't hear it without laughing and thinking her! I said, Oops, up-side side your head, said Oops upside your head!!!
******** Front Man CHARLIE WILSON [often called Uncle Charlie] is Still Here, having done Collabs with Boyz II Men & Smokey Robinson. They named their Band after their TULSA Streets of Greenwood, Archer & Pine.
This is the jam! Y'all are going to love this! Charlie Wilson the lead singer is a vocal beast! This will be Jay's anthem to Amber! 😁🔥🔥🔥🔥
That's UNCLE Charlie!
@@bergiefbaby That's right Uncle Charlie! 😁
3 months late but I have known this song for years and I never knew that was Charlie Wilson. WOW!
Yearning For Your Love is my favorite.
Early in The Morning and You Dropped A Bomb On Me are two great Gap Band songs to rock out to!
My fav "Seasons No Reason To Change"😊
R.I.P to my father Robert Wilson Godfather of Bass and Uncle Ronnie Wilson of The Gap Band ❤❤❤
Real cool dudes. I met them once back when they were on tour and stopped through SC.
They are woven into the fabric of my musical childhood. May they continue to Rest in Paradise. ✨️🙏🏾💛
@odellsumter805 I am looking for the win today. I don't like playing y'all 'cause I really like Mike Tomlin and Russell Wilson. I know it's going to be epic. Might also be a Super Bowl preview. May the best team win. 💚🩶💚
A lesser known but super funky Gap Band song is “Humpin’”
The GAP BAnd is always good. Yearning for Your Love, Humpin’, Early in the Morning, Shake your Booty etc. Plenty of funk. Plenty of soul. Plenty of fire!
The gap band - yearning for your love . Has to be next amazing song by them
Agreed.
Yearning for you're love. The ultimate slow jam from the gap band. Basslines 🔥

All you need is "Party Train" to wrap up your Gap Band listening. It's funky.
“Outstanding “ is the quintessential must have on repeat play . It’s just the best groove and it’s a appropriate anytime of the year for all occasions. I would recommend “ Yearning For Your Love”… enjoy
The Gap Band had a string of funky soul hits in the late seventies/early eighties! The lead singer, Charlie Wilson, is still making amazing new music and touring!❤❤
8:16 Someone took their time and phonically isolated every single drum individually.
damm that was some OUTSTANDING engineering.
Good call out! This song is just so dynamic from top to bottom.
Got me up and steppin…….love this song……brings back some good times
One of the best bands ever! RIP Robert and Ronnie! Ronnie had a smile that shone bright!

Another jam from my childhood. My mom and aunties loved the Gap Band.💃🏾
When a song is 41 years old and is still a jam, you just know it's too good!
This is by far my fav Gap band song!!
Taking me back to the days I would spin this tune during those Sunday afternoon BBQ's . Nothing like a slow jam to get you into a peaceful state of mind.
YES!!!!! You just reacted to their best song, in my opinion!!!! The PERFECT jam skate song 🛼 The runner up that you may want to react to is “OOPS UPSIDE YOUR HEAD” 🔥🔥🔥

If this isn't played at the cookout something is terribly wrong
Nothing to see here. Just facts!!!
When ever you hear this song, there's a 95.837% chance you are at somebody's cookout somewhere.
This song make anybody potato salad taste better!
What woman wouldn't want to hear these words from her man. Great choice for Valentine's Week. Love it!
The GAP Band is the ABSOLUTE truth! So wonderful for you to give the beautiful tribute of this timeless classic to your beautiful wife. This song is more proof that I grew up in the best musical era there will EVER be. What a blessing.

The Gap Band hit Mtv hard, great music, party time videos made a fan out of me. Love just jammin' to the line. Great Party Music Always.
This was massive in the UK, my friend Kenny Thomas did a great version which needs checking out
My siblings and I were playing cards the other night; my brother in law is the DJ on card night; this came on and my brother and I were singing this full tilt 😂❤️
Yeah….a song you want to bogey to it’ll blow your mind! Thanks for the memories! React! React!
Miss these times, going out and everyone getting along all night long. Dancing till sunrise like vampires. Eating at Dennys and sleeping half the day. Yearning for your love another great jam.
used to come out of the club and it would be daylight
Love the Gap Band …listening from London ❤️
This song is always in my playlist. Back in the 90's, when we all had answering machines hooked up to our landline phones, the beginning of this song was the background of my outgoing message.
You may have heard Kenny Thomas's version in the 90,s ..another great artist with many cover versions
My wife was a disco queen ! I can still see her dancing to this song
Charlie Wilson of the GAP Band has a successful solo career. Some of his recordings are, Charlie Last Name Wilson, There Goes My Baby, ( Might be Jays new song to Amber after he hears it. I'm sure t thats what he was thinking when he first saw her.) My Love Is All I Have and All My Love, featuring Smokey Robinson. (Didn't get much air play. But it deserves a reaction, simply because it's Charlie and Smokey)
Outstanding! Indeed! Lol😂😂
"YEARNIN' FOR YOUR LOVE" for another smooth song, and "HUMPIN" for some more of that Wilson Brothers FUNK!! 🔥
I used to listen that album each morning before getting up, whilst on holidays from work. They always have a summer vibe
One group that you guys need to react to is Shalamar, from the eighties. They are an R&B/pop group who have many great, great songs. Trust me you will like and even love their music once you start listening to their catalogue. Start with 'I can make you feel good, A night to remember, make that move, there it is, The second time around. I'm telling you they are awesome and you will love them. A couple of side notes.

R. Kelly, Aaron Hall, KC from Jodeci all got their vocal influence for Charlie Wilson.
Gotta react to "Yearnin For Your Love" and "You Dropped A Bomb On Me"
Love all their music, let's funk it up!!
I love your faces❤ and reaction. Killer❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Y'all gotta do Oops Upside Your Head. They are on some serious Parliament funk with that one and then try Yearning For Your Love for their smooth R&B side.
Party Train is one of the most entertaining old school videos. Those guys were pure entertainment!!!
Nobody better than the GAP Band! Been listening to them since 1980!
💖 Love for them forever!
Merci beaucoup from France ! One of my best group with SOS BAND.
Love the Gap Band. I have this album, so glad I kept my collection.
You will really like the smooth sound of the song Yearning For Your Love
This is my favorite Gap Band song! And it really epitomizes the ‘80s R&B that I LOVED. Hail WKYS radio out of D.C. back in the day! Renee and Angela, Midnight Star, Kashif, Confunkshun, etc. So many great songs. ❤
P.S. Yearning for Your Love should be next!
I listened to WKYS back in the day. I moved to the DMV in 1981. I believe Donnie Simpson was on KYS then.
Wait till you hear “Early in the Morning” talk about Vibe
This is one of my favorites! Another underrated but very popular one by them is Yearning For Your Love. The GAP Band consists of 3 brothers - Charlie, Robert and Ronnie, and all 3 are talented multi instrumentalists. Someone referred to Robert Wilson as the Godfather of the Bass Guitar. He kills it in every song. Charlie Wilson's lead vocals remain unparalleled to this day. "Uncle" Charlie Wilson and Ron Isley of The Isley Brothers are supposed to be doing a record together soon. Ron's vocals on the The Isley Brothers' popular song Voyage to Atlantis is hauntingly beautiful, so these 2 old school powerhouses on one new record will be outstanding!
Love your reactions!
When music was outstanding ! Peace and love to you and yours...always,,,peace !
yall have to hear "YEARNING"... they slow it down even more on that one. its an all time classic
You gotta do," Yearning for your Love"! You guys will love that one!
Charlie Wilson from the Gap Band has a Contemporary Christian song called I'm Blessed that is soooo Wonderful that I recommend watching &/or listening to!
Man, this is one of my favorite songs of all time, and when you both broke down all the things I love about this song, it damn near brought tears to my eyes.

OMG Charlie Wilson's voice is incredible. Love this track..can't sit still when I hear it.
Keb Mo "Dirty Lowdown and Bad ", "Am I Wrong ", "She Just Wants to Dance ".
This is the jam !!!
Right now, I'm about 19years old , it's 1983 I'm in my 79 black olds tornado 2door cruzin down Woodward ave. Detroit.
One of the greatest songs ever made.
I was on the dance floor with the girl dem... I loved to dance to certain music. This is it...
Nice and slowwwww. Dim the lights, lie back, light one up (oops)🤣, and get into the groove!!! Gotta love The Gap Band!!!!✌❤
Love their slow jam. You Dropped A Bomb on Me, Oops Upside Yo Head. Sometimes you just gotta dance. This was big at the roller rink. Thanks again for the smile.
Are those bongos? IDK! Lol😂😂
Outstanding is the voice of Charlie Wilson ❤. I used to dance my feet bloody when they played Oops, Uups .... 😅
Gap Band’s my JAM!!! I’m so glad y’all appreciate them! 🎉🎉
I love to dance and my hubby was not a dancer AT ALL, but when “Outstanding” would come on, he would hit the dance floor with me.
I had a cassette tape of The Gap Band with this and all their songs. I played that tape so much, I wore it out!
R&B band Soul for Real sampled this, and I had no idea of the gap bands version until about 10 years ago. Such a good one! 👍
Y'all really need to listen to some Bar-Kays. They were around in the '60s, but I know them best by their '70s & '80s songs: Freakshow On The Dance Floor ('84), Too Hot To Stop ('76), Shake Your Rump To The Funk ('76). Love the R&B from this era. I'll throw in Prince's Thieves in The Temple ('90) for your next Prince reaction. A bit later than your most recent song (You've Got the Look '87) so a totally different sound and look.
My favorite Gap Band track. Every man wants a woman that he feels this way about. Thanks, guys.
Yall do know that's Charlie Wilson (Uncle Charlie) singing the lead for the Gap Band. Those are his brothers Robert & Ronald with him.
Well, if you talk about country music we have Garth Brooks, Reba , Vince gill, Toby keith, Ronnie Dunn from Brooks and Dunn,not to mention Carrie Underwood and many more.
Definitely a GAP band classic! This song got sampled in 1995 for the song "Every Little Thing I Do" by Soul For Real, which you should also check out.
Going back to '80s funk/R&B songs, take a listen to "Don't stop the Music" by Yarbrough and Peoples.
One of my favorites from the gap band. Great song, and was great to see you two react to it.
Nothing like hearing Uncle Charlie singing to get the body moving.
This IS a great change of pace song for them, a little slower but the funk is still heavy. Not for a slow dance, but for dancing close!
The GAP band has a lot of great stuff. Outstanding is their crowning achievement. In my top ten all time. It’s completely amazing.
