Description
The Gap Band enjoyed huge success throughout the 70s and 80s
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.
The group scored many notable hits in the late 1970's and early
1980's including Shake (R&B #4), I Don't Believe You Want To
Get Up And Dance (Oops!, Up Side Your Head) (R&B #4) and
Burn Rubber (Why You Wanna Hurt Me) (R&B #1) before
releasing this, their most successful album, Gap Band IV, in 1982.
Charting at #1 R&B and #14 Pop Gap Band IV achieved platinum
status and provided two #1 R&B hit singles.
