I agree!
That's a KILLER cut, no doubt  It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

The Gap Band were great. Like many other funk groups, they could bring on the hard funk and put a great slow jam or two (no adult contemporary shit) on the album also. Andy is a four letter word. | |

I adore them, but I find it hard to get a lot of their albums! I've only got a compilation, III and IV.  Feel free to join in the Prince Album Poll 2018! Let'a celebrate his legacy by counting down the most beloved Prince albums, as decided by you! | |

I just love the Gap band. Just can't get enough of Uncle Charlie's voice and they were really funky. Early in the morning is that shit man.
My fave track from them is "season's no reason to change". GAP BAND IV is perfect from start to finish. I don't have any albums after V. Are they any good? | |

I didn't buy any of their albums after "V - Jammin'". After that, I only bought the 12 Inch "Beep A Freak" and the 45 "Zibble Zibble (Get The Money)". The late 80s had kicked in by then and everyone was getting weaker. Andy is a four letter word. | |

My fave has got to be
..."Outstaaaaandin', girl you knock me out"
They have several good songs, but that one just does it for me everytime. I love "Outstanding". "You Dropped A Bomb On Me" is second, followed closely by "Early In The Morning". "And When The Groove Is Dead And Gone, You Know That Love Survives, So We Can Rock Forever" RIP MJ 
"Baby, that was much too fast"...Goodnight dear sweet Prince. I'll love you always | |

Hey everybody! Thanks for your appreciation for the Wilson brothers. But I just realized I missed a song from my countdown. It's one of the best ever. Humpin' is in my countdown. Sorry for that. I would put this in place of Zibble, Zibble, although I lovw this song as well. Peace and be wild! | |
