Lot of people don't know this but, The Gap brothers were really talented and it was a pleasure working with them and seeing it all unfold. Charlie would do all his vocals in one take, unbelievably talented! I laid all of the ground tracks on this one at Capitol Records studio in Hollywood back in 1983. I remember this session like yesterday. R.I.P. Robert and Ronny!

We might've had a couple dozen folks working, but they'd all throw down what they were busy with & invade the postage-stamp-sized dance floor en masse(pardon my inability to effectively use the hybrid Swedish/Japanese/Martian dialective conglomeration in which my pet rats were raised back in the day-) with manic enthusiasm. It could get awkward. It could become most definitely painful. Some of us would fall down, repeatedly, but nobody seemed to mind. Many billion yrs later(+ -👀), those memories help to keep this old shaky-booty-being being one.

Charlie Wilson was extremely talented. He had it all. Cool vocals and sex appeal. He understood the camera

Amazing Talent, Beautiful Spirit filled Brother. Sad that Charlie does not have his Brothers next to him here on Earth, but they live on in each and every song right next to him in Ruach. None the less he carries on Blessed and Very thankful for God's Grace. We Love you Uncle Charles Roll On!

That's when someone has natural talent and music is in their blood. no matter how simple the lyrics, it moves you

Please mention the black cowboy hat 🙋🏻‍♂️😂🥳

200 years from now and this will still be one of the songs that just grabs your soul and makes you happy Perfect from start to end.

The groove in this song is ridiculous .

This song makes work so much more enjoyable while working on a 'Finish' with my Dad. He loves playing The Gap Band on Pandora. Today we were having lunch in the work truck and he says "You go Charlie!".

The first time I heard this is when my late husband was playing it in his truck, back in 1986. Old skool......i loved it then and I still do. Makes me want to get up and dance. I miss you baby....RIP Darrel. 3/25/1965-3/15/2018
