Unsung Shorts- The Gap Band Documentary 

My heart bleeds....my siblings did the same too me

So you mean to tell me that at the time of Ronnie's death and 2021 him in Charlie was not on speaking terms. You know Greek can never be satisfied

That's heartbreaking.....I'm sure your Ronnie is keeping things real in Heaven, you'll see him again. I'm a 67 yr old that not only sold The Gap Band LP;s at the Tulsa Peaches Records & Tapes store, we danced our a$$es off at the discos cuz the Tulsa clubs played them a LOT. We were as proud of them as we were Leon. 🎩 If the Church Studio walls could talk, I hope yo'u've ventured down there to see it. This is one of my fav videos of Leon & the Gap Band.....RIP Ronnie & Robert. Gap Band funk still lives on. 🎵🎶🎵 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0-juchOyWKE.html&ab_channel=MrPappycat

I understand SIS..I can't believe what I heard about them. Heartbreaking because I lived across the street and as I posted here how Robert was my music teacher and I loved the whole family. We were the knight and reed family. Be blessed Queen you loved and not forgotten 💜

One other thing SIS Charlie acts like he doesn't even remember us. That hurt

Really? And your very welcome I try my best. To make this documentary educational for those who dont know about this amazing band.

@@VonTheStampede yes and you said my name wrong 😂

He was a bad bass player I love his jam on Shake your dad and Uncles are my music idols I didn't know you were his daughter I always see Latina Wilson and Ronnie Wilson's sons I never saw Charlie Wilson's kids( if he has any) HUMPIN is what made me ❤️ The Gap Band in 1980 as 8 year old boy your dad was FUNKY on Gash gash gash Gap Band 1V made the iconic peak in 1982 in interviews in the 80s your dad and Charlie had a good sense of humor if I had a voice like your Uncle I have it made back in the day I knew he Idolized Stevie Wonder 👓 and Stevie Wonder admires your Uncle I love the calloboration he did with your uncle Ronnie on I ain't gonna stand for it in 1980 with Stevie Wonder but I didn't see your dad name on the credit but Stevie got with your family on Someday in 1983 on MLK dedication . But the Last album I stopped at was I'm gonna git you Sucka soundtrack in 1988 funny movie I appreciate Keenan ivory Wayans giving your family a slight comeback after their riff with Lonnie Simmons R .I. P Oliver Scott spoke highly of your dad bass playing he's my favorite Member outside your family He wrote ❤️ ballads on 111 my favorite is NOTHING COMES TO SLEEPERS 👌if I'm ever depressed or cleaning 🏠 your family comes first then Stevie Wonder bless you and your family 🙏 TGB years 1974-1988 FUNKY FAMILY

Much love and respect to your dad and the band. Your dad could jam - flights of angels... Much thanks for all the funkin joy and dancin...!

@ Robin...I LOVE your dad and his group! My daddy used to play them when I was a lil girl and unfortunately he left me and my mother when I was 7 y/o, so I’d listen to their music and that’s how I’d connect with my daddy. He died in 2010 and even now I have my days where I’ll play the GB and just cry. My deepest condolences to the lost of your dad...sometimes us fans forget that famous people are real people with real families and real lives, so I am truly sorry for your loss first and foremost.

My apologies for saying the wrong name and you are welcome

@@VonTheStampede 😂😂all my life but again ThankYou!❤

@@itslbabywilson3488 your welcome again 😁🤣

You are gorgeous

@@RTDavis0503 thank You

Yes that's True..Shoud've gotten way more Respect!

Love your comment!! Robert was my favorite ❤ rip

I didnt know until I did the research and they said it will never be a hit lol

Yeah his voice is definitely unmistakable. He killed it

Damn! I thought everybody knew that!! 😲

Yep. That was during his Stevie Wonder imitation days

Oh, yes!! He was featured on Heaven's Girl with R. Kelly, Aaron Hall, and Ron Isley, too.

Then you know my dad

You’re I did the best I could with this video and looking at Tulsa history made me sad and angry

That so hard to believe. Wow

If I dont hear a gap song in a bbq especially a black one I think something wrong

Keenan ivory Wayans directorial debut and giving The Gap Band main title to the soundtrack in 1988 my last favorite Gap Band album is the soundtrack in 1988 funny movie

Wow!!!

I'm glad I wasn't the only one to recognize that. Close your eyes and you hear Aaron Hall and Riley beats.

Your are one of the first to get it right, and Teddy Riley knows it too!!!

I just heard the news wow, he was only 73

Thank you for watching I have more documentaries and videos

@@VonTheStampede I will be checking them out too.

Correction. Ronnie Wilson’s birthday was April 7, 1948.

@@boulwli1 How many brothers are still alive. Back in the day I lived in Lancaster' California I thought it was Charlie Wilson who stayed in Palmdale California♥️

Indeed

Cool maybe I should message them too. To give them some ideas

Thank you very much be sure to watch the rest of my videos

Sure was.

Round Trip didn't get the publicity it should have. 🤨

Thank you!

Right

Shows how stupid this clown is!!!

This jerk needs speech therapy

Y’all need to relax, it’s an honest mistake.

True Aries exactly!

@True Aries and you're just as ignorant for responding SIS

Exactly especially the song all of my love

I miss you and dont be afraid by Aaron hall screams Charlie Wilson

Thatjazzygirl good,yeah. Then i believe R Kelly continued that sound in his music.

Nice documentary 1979 shake your booty at the Disco Gap 2 I can tell by your smile you want to party oops upside your head stepping out on the one good documentary

Thanks more soon

Thanks glad you enjoyed it

Jemia Midget why was it so important that he pronounced it correctly? It’s not like he’s going to do the clip over, it’s not even like you will be able to be in his presence so he can hear the way you sant him to pronounce it. Are you looking for an apology? God mad us all different, if we were same...I’m Just Saying... but you don’t have to respond... It would be like beating a dead horses. I do wish you peace.

@@Daniweb1971 it is important for several reasons. 1. He has done an outstanding job and you never know what exec is watching. This may be a viable career for him and it is important that they know he does things with excellence. 2. Tulsa is the home of Black Wallstreet which was located between Greenwood, Archer and Pine (GAP). That is important history. 3. It would be a shame if he went around for the rest of his life mispronouncing that word. It wasn't about dialect. He just didn't know. And as a Tulsan, I respectfully let him know because I'm sure he is going to continue to excel and be successful. Those are my reasons. I am proud of this young black man. And at my age, it is my duty to encourage him and correct things. I expect that he will one day be in a board room full of investors. Why would I not help the young man be prepared for that. Pronounciation is extremely important in journalism or any form of careers predicated on speaking. It can make or break your career. Believe that. I mean him all good and no harm. I hope this helps you understand 😊

Jemia Midget I do. Thank you. And you did so it respectfully. I get it.

@@Daniweb1971 Awww...thank you😊

Tastefully stated.....in true Jemia fashion!! Miss and love ya!!
