NIET MEER LEVERBAAR !

THE GAP BAND enjoyed huge success throughout the 70’s and
80’s with their unique sound and contribution to the Funk
scene. Formed in 1967 in their hometown of Tulsa,
Oklahoma, brothers Charlie, Ronnie and Robert Wilson first
went by the name Greenwood, Archer and Pine Street Band
later shortening the name to THE GAP BAND in 1973.

· LA Producer, Lonnie Simmons, signed them to his label, Total
Experience Records, setting in motion what would be the
start of a long and prosperous relationship between THE GAP
BAND and Simmons. Notable hits include their top ten hit
Shake, the breakthrough single from The Gap Band II, I Don’t
Believe You Want To Get Up And Dance (Oops!) and the
number one R&B hit Early In The Morning taken from their
1982 #1 R&B album The Gap Band IV.

· 1985 brought the release of THE GAP BAND VI and with it the
band soared back to the top of the R&B album chart with the
chosen singles also enjoying impressive chart positions. The
first single BEEP A FREAK, peaked at #2 R&B, their highest
chart spot since Outstanding took the top spot on the R&B
charts in 1982. The albums other two singles followed suit
with I FOUND MY BABY hitting #8 R&B and DISRESPECT earning
a Top 20 R&B position.
