Gap Band Ballad Twofer: "Outstanding" and "Yearning..." My two fave slow tunes by them.
Outstanding (been sampled to death) Yearning for Your Love - not sure who the lady in the accompanying vid is, but somebody wants her bad! | |

2 stone cold classics
I always get a chuckle out of how similar "I Found My Baby" is to "Oustanding." Still a good song, but damn! "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

But seriously two of their greatest songs. "Yearning..." is still the shit! | |

I love "Yearning For Your Love". I wouldn't call "Outstanding" a ballad though. More like midtempo in the days before midtempo completely took over everything and became sickening. As for another slow jam by The Gap Band, I love "I Can't Get Over You". Andy is a four letter word. | |

I swear, that is the best "we wrote the lyrics on a napkin and had plenty of space left" song in the history of music! You don't me, and I don't know you, but Let's get together, The night is young and we're so free When I first looked in your eyes, I could tell that you were lonely like me Two people wandering, looking, Searching for a fantasy I could tell you're lonely just like me If you really love me, let me see I could tell you're lonely just like me Two people wandering, looking, Searching for a fantasy "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

No I didn't! I do think it's "could" instead of "can," but who really knows with Charlie? The song still is kick ass though. Charlie's voice: | |

Jeez, it feels like it is uptempo. I'm sweatin' here! Get back to the fly swattin' tempos. I consider it a ballad, but even if somebody gave me definitive evidence that it wasn't, it wouldn't change my opinion that it's a great song. It does feel like that dreaded midtempo that Andy loathes. | |

I never knew they issued this 12 inch on the mercury label.
I had Gap Band IV on Lonnie Simmons Total Exprerience label distributed by polygram. These songs are classics. I liked every track on gap IV. [Edited 7/2/08 19:46pm] Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint | |

Yeah, or more specifically it's like some hybrid that people can choose to groove to it or move a little slower. Another song that comes to mind as one of those hybrids is The System's "Don't Disturb This Groove." | |
