Such a humble human being. Just listening to the Gap Band and his voice is unreal.
Charlie should write a book. He gave me some great advice about the industry back in 1980. In a previous interview he was on point when he said " The Music Industry Will Chew You Up And Spit You Out."
People need to stop talking about the mans wife. The pretty girls were only around when he had money. This woman stuck with him thru his addiction and the hardest parts of his life. She took his hand and walked all the way thru the bullshit with him. THIS IS REAL TRUE LOVE. And no amount of beauty could ever compare to it.
His wife isn't ugly and has a beautiful soul...
BIG ONE 251!!! AMEN!!! BEAUTY AND KINDNESS,A FAITHFULL HEART COMES FROM WITHIN!! SHE WAS THERE AT HIS WORSE!!! THERE WHEN HES ON TOP!!! WHERE SHE BELONGS!! 15 YEARS!!!
MAXMAJ. 1Q!! YES!! AMEN!!! THATS WHAT I NEED IN MY LIFE!! THERE AT YOUR LOWEST!!! THERE IN THE BEST OF TIMES!!! ALL THE HATERS!! CAN KEEP THEIR MOUTHS CLOSED!!! AMEN!
Congrats to you and your Higher Power for surviving the War On Drugs.... God is truly Good.....
i really love this guy's singing and i am so glad he got his life back and with a woman who stood by him. it's not easy. i am 62 and i have struggled for a long time with addiction. my husband has stood by me through it all and i would not be alive and clean and sober today if he hadn't stood by me. i am inspired by charlie and so happy for him! thanks for posting!!!!
I am so proud of Uncle Charlie. He is truly one of the best out there singing R&B right now!
i just love this man! May God continue to bless you and your wife ....
Mr.Charlie Wilson Behind every Great Man There is a Phonemenal Woman. Your Story is Very Heartfelt and Godly Inspiring. No Matter How Deep you Fell like the Prodigal Son you came back to your father.And God restored you back with his great riches and blessing and gave you a Loving Wife. God bless her Forever and Please Stay Setfree and keep Reading The Word of God and you both keep praying together.So many I believe will see your testimony and Fight. Our Nationis is full of Drugs and Homelessness.I believe with unity we can help eradicate all of this unity is the best policy.Yes there is lot of buildings that could be brought up renovated and make a fordable rents
charlie wilson i am from enid,okla my name is craig owens.back in the day you guys came to enid to have service at cogic, elder hart, and your father who was a minister, your mother was the organ player. your bother was robert, he use to day leona mitchell, now a renowed, retired Oper Singer. I have been where you been i am struggleing now trying to reach back again, somthing i love, I am a mortican, lost everything behind my partner grandchildren. So now i am trying to go at it again. Your songs have inspired with courage, im in it to win it. so its rought right now, im bless song reminds me. ask god for a second chance. I all good. So i hope you get time to read my comment.
finally he's getting the recognition he deserves. he started off sounding like Stevie but then developed his signature sound. one of my favorite singers, I got all his stuff
Oh no question He had a lot of STEVIE WONDERism in his voice in THE GAP BAND days 1974-1988 he said Fingertips is what made him do records as a kid mixture of Stevie and Parliament style funk 1. THE GAP BAND 2.STEVIE WONDER 3. GEORGE CLINTON , PARLIAMENT top three people. But CHARLIE WILSON is my favorite person and idol
what a shame, you made my 70's great, Blessings to you and yours Charlie..
How Can Two People Dislike Charlie Wilson Journey
Lonnie Simmons how dare you treat someone like that... Charlie nothing but good will come to you from this day forward, Thank you Mahin for helping Charlie see that there is a bright side, God knew him before he knew himself, so Blessings to you and your brothers.
I love his eyes:)
It just goes to show you that what God has for you is undeniable and I am so glad for Charlie. He is a blessed man because of his Humility and the fact that he persevered through it all. Now look at him. There is only one "Uncle Charlie". "Goodie" needs to see your success. He, too, made it through.
God Bless You Charlie Wilson. True about the saying: " Behind every successful man is a good woman" Please treasure her.
This is one amazing story, about Charlie Wilson. How he went from rages to riches, God had his hand on him the whole time.God had his life already arranged. He went from rages, to richest. God has favored him, all thing's are possible with God, on your side. God blessed you, Mr Charlie Wilson now and forever more.
It's a damn good thing he was able to turn his life around and get back to doing what he did best. Charlie still had tons of music and good times to give everyone, his life didn't deserve to go the way it did once The Gap Band fell apart from business bullshit, and it would've been a horrible shame if he just faded away from that point on.
Real happy to hear you found your soulmate! Love to hear your music! cant wait to see you in Detroit!
A very inspiring story. I am 3'years older than Charlie. I remember the Gap Band. I loved their music, but I knew nothing about his life until now. I've heard of "management" robbing artists and holding them captive. I've heard of celebrities losing their grip on life due to drug addiction, Few stories end this well. God bless everyone involved in the making of his recovery. I am filled with joy right now. I will buy his book because I want to know all about.
A amazing talent. Congratulations on the grammy nominations Charlie !!!
Behind every MAN there is a GOOD WOMAN! POWERHOUSE🙏❤️😉
Most people don't even know where that line came from lol.
What a beautiful testament to just how great God is. There is nothing to hard for God. so often when a person has a call upon their life, the enemy will try to steal their life away from them , but then God steps in brings he brings the purpose back . I look at the journey that led me to preach his word and it all helped me to be more determined!
i love this man he been through alot but he still made out of all that nd still standing im so proud of him he is very blessed god bless. his heart
God bless you with so much more everything that the emeny stole you have been given back so much more than some your story is nothing but grace mercy you are a inspiration to us all God bless you Mr Wilson keep us in your prayers
This is a wonderful story. I wish him all the
luck and love.
Love U Uncle C Fam Fa'Life One Love Fa'Sho...
You've got a singing voice of an Angel....I'd love to have a singing voice like yours!!
God bless u charlie
Charlie Wilson...my BOY
i was homeless and deep into my addiction and i realize that, the latter rain is so much better., We go threw so that we can come out and then into new beinging a fresh new start. As we arrive at our new chellenge's we are humbled and our cup is full , with the seeds of humility. Now the road to victor becomes, "i can see clearly now the rain is gone".lv-u-Charlie
Awesome Testimony Charlie.
blessings to you looking blessed
tears filled my eyes to hear u sleepn on a brick an box no one shud have to go thru this!!! no matter where u come from if u see someone on the street help them or get them help an dont let anyone spend xmas alone !
This talented man's story is a condemnation of the music industry which I myself have seen take advantage of and cheat the talent that sells the music. I'm so happy to see that Charlie was able to survive his hard times and find a wonderful mate to make his life happy. He has given so much happiness to so many people, he deserves all he has and the love and respect of his fan. Thank you Charlie for many, many happy hours of dancing!
.Love you uncle Charlie I'm so happy for you and your lovely wife."True love endures many trials and tribulations. I speak what I know, I'm 50 yrs s and I am,also 29 yrs clean and sober and my Husband stood by me through it all. Yes uncle Charlie "we are blessed ".
love this man and his music
I love you and your brothers since the Party Train. Thank God for your beautiful wife..! You guys were ( are ) the best singers and dancers.
I'm so glad Charlie that you came back because we didn't have any good music like yours anymore there was so much garbage I could not stand it.
He is so great....
God bless you, Charlie!
The thing that was really messed up is that the house that Charlie was talking about at 0:27, the Total Experience people originally gave that house to Yarbrough & Peoples. After 6 months of staying there, they were put out by the label to move Charlie in...
I'm so happy for you Charlie and your loving wife, be strong and the lord God will always be with you.
Your right about Berry Gordy Motown was about to shut down until Rick James came along and saved the company...
Uncle Charlie ♡
God bless you and your wife 💕
This makes me so sad for Charlie & what happened to him & his brothers. They were one of the first bands out of Oklahoma to make it really big, and with them being Black it was an extra source of pride to see them do so well. Now I see that in truth they weren't doing so well really. I hope the people who stole from them got/are getting their comeuppance, & I congratulate Charlie for being a survivor. I'm sad for the loss of brother Robert today as well.
It's always good too see a strong MAN stay focused and have a good woman in his corner
Hear, hear, well done & Much love to ya Charlie!
You have the gift of a Great voice, can't wait to hear more!
From your fans across the seas in New Zealand
Charlie is the Man! Much respect.
God bless.him !
I jus love storys of succes....
Don't care Charlie....back is back❤
To God Be The Glory!!!
God bless you and your,s. 🙏🏽🌷🌻🌟💕🙂

Hey Charlie you have done well for yourself. May God Bless you and your beautiful wife. My cousin and i love your music bro. Dont listen to what people say just keep doing what your doing and he will show you the way. Stay blessed!!!!!
Welcome Back to the world Ms. Wilson....
He was a great singer and I am happy for him and his wife. I Know this is possible bit it has to ne a choice that two people choose not the world. That's the problem in the world today to many people focused on other people stuff, issues that don't belong to them. We were taught to judge, debate and speak on stuff that we all need to deal with bit somehow think that we are better for questioning everything instead of seeing self and trying to live and do better for self and other people which is a life time task and needs no outside influences unless it is good for us. Charlie remains consistent with his story.
A Truly UNBELIEVABLE story. I never knew about the drama CHarlie & his Brothers went through.
Real partners know your heart.
Do a documentary
The main thing for an artist is for them to own there own catalog if not the record company owns the artist. It's that simple...
I love you honey God bless you peace ✌️ 🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎
💕 u Uncle Kent Wilson's❤u
I'd go see it opening night!!! I would also like to see a Zapp/Roger movie.
Aaron Hall of the group Guy sounds a lot like Charlie when he sings.
Damn. Reality can be scary.
save the music
yes being homeless is no fun. i am currently so glad someone is no longer in thatt life. i pray to someday have home again.
NO MATTER WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN THROUGH!!! I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOUR MUSIC.....HANG IN THERE WITH YOUR WIFE,BECAUSE YOU NEVER FIND LOVE THAT DEEP........ALL SMILES AND NO WORRIES........TO YOU......
Charlie wilson you been through a lot
how ever other celebrities probably
was in the same situation as you or
worse i'm sure sooner or later someone
else will come forward I was wondering
if you could be a spokesman for people
and warn everyone who's new or want
to become a celebrity so they won't
take advantage of no more people
to save people from these monsters
He has some really nice eyes. I am not attracted to him but I like when males have really huge eyes, him, Michael Jackson, Idris Elba, Larenz Tate, Omar Epps etc. :)
Thumbs up if you think it should be a movie about the 'Gap' Band.
WELL SAID MICHAEL......I NEEDED TO HEAR THOSE WORDS. I HAVE A STRONG FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST AND A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM. I HAD TO BURY MY SON 9 MONTHS AGO AND ITS BEEN HELL WALKING THROUGH THE PROCESS OF GRIEF. I TRY TO REMIND MY MYSELF THAT MY LATER WILL BE GREATER. THANK U FOR THE ENCOURAGING WORDS. GOD BLESS YOU !!!
POWERFUL 🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈AMAZIN😊G CHARLIE WILSON💯 NICE. ● BROWN FAMILY DAPHNE COTTON💜

@CHARLIE WILSON WIFE ... VERY INTENSE SALUTE .. 🫡👍🏾💯❤️
Yeah... Signing a record deal ain't necessarily the key to anything. The more I look at it, the more it seems to be the key to being absolutely miserable.
Charlie Wilson is one of the finest talents in popular music today, bar none.
Peace
