71 yrs old and still do my Saturday chores with the Gap band.
Charlie Wilson is a living icon.
Freaking great idea !!!
Almost 80 and still digging this sound....
I'm sorry I totally disagree there! The WHOLE BAND is a living legend! Cheers!
@@rico8192 the whole band definitely can not be a living legend. Almost every single one of the band has passed on.
A living legend has to be living
To a living legend 😂😂😂😂😂
Is Kobe Bryant a living legend or a legend.
If I make it to be 100 Ima be cutting up the floor on this one!!!😂🎶🎧🎶
60 years old, life is long different now. I just want to cry! Thank God for the 60's, 70's, and 80's!!!!!¡!!!!!!!!!!!😢
No other era like it…
Ditto- music is simply not the same anymore.
Word! I'd give almost anything to go back!
life still good even it become simpler with technology
More complicated I would say @@ethiodude9886
Who else is here because Dave Grohl mentioned to Pharrel Williams that he got the idea for the Smell Like Teen spirit drums from here?
I love both Nirvana/Foo Fighters and Gap Band and I couldn’t believe I never made the connection until Dave mentioned it!!!
Exactly why im here on this very video. And i find the similarities so intense
Never heard of the gap band but im glad I have now cheers Dave Grohl
The disco flams!
same reason
One of the funkiest tunes ever to grace the planet. Killer bass and great vocals.
I agree killer basss

My high school sweetheart and I had our first dance on this song in 1981. We've now been married 38 years! Wow

You mean Dave ripping off the best drum beats
@@jackshafto9123 Why would you call a student of the masters a thief?
@@DangerAmbrose Receiving compensation for stealing a creator's intellectual property. You tell me.
Dave Grohl said he did but it's all good@@DangerAmbrose
The Gap Band always gets people on the dance floor
Love it
Too true!!
On the dancefloor everytime, can't sit still when you hear it
0:11 Dave Grohl's inspiration for Smells like teen spirit. No joke... told Pharrell Williams in an interview.
We lived on the dance floor with the Gap Band and so many others back in the day.

The GAP Band is from my hometown, Tulsa, OK. My loud and proud brothers!
Oh yeah! They were loud enough to ignite the funk in many an Afrikan in the Motherland, including me...💃🏾🇬🇭💃🏾🇬🇭💃🏾🇬🇭💃🏾🇬🇭
shout out T-Town
12 boy in low rider bike in California. Love it
Long live Greenwood, Archer and Pine. Much respect and love from Phoenix, Arizona.
Shame on Sinclair Oil Company and all who participated in destroying the homes, businesses and other buildings in the Greenwood District!!!
Wish we still have bands like this!!! They truly Dropped The Bomb on us!!!!!!
Becca Jackson - totally agree.
Ma petite Andy..made me play the beginning over and over again..he was maybe 3or 4..I miss him terribly...
yes, true 🎉🎶✨
Free. All races
Agree ..!!!
Listening in 2024 ❤,
Me of course 👍
Absolutely 🇬🇧 😅
March 25, 2024 still jamming with The Gap Band. Real music 😊
Charlie Wilson is a legend.
Yes he is a legend that voice will knock a ball out the ballpark!!!!!
Yes he is a legend.This back in my younger days. Ayeeeeee
And a hottie as well!!!
To the sound of Gap Band my BMW was accelerating very fast. It gained at least 50 additional horses..........:-)...................
Ye. He sure is.
This track is pure gold and never gets old. Charlie’s delivery, that driving bass. The build up and the sing-along climax at the end.
Total eargasm
👅🦻🤣
Agreed!
🔥🔥🔥
It’s a trance experience with every listen
Wait a minute, did he moonwalk in them boots? ❤
Yep, several times!
Yep Michael ripped off and he didn't even know it. Michael was probably still in the womb
Still one of the all time classics. Lead singer’s voice is INCREDIBLE.
Classic. 1980, was 10 years old .played it over and over . Saved my allowance for the vinyl. Yes allowance
Do kids even get allowance in 2020?
@@MegensBay No. They get the parents paycheck and give any leftovers back to Mom and Dad.
Nice. Happy new year 💐👍🎉
I was 16 and JAMMIN'!!!
Awe how adorable 😻🥰
60 years old, and I have goose bumps ; thanks for taking me back in time.
Gracias de nada
That moonwalk
26 and same, Pops played this all the time growing up. He'd be 2 years older than you, live a blessed life
Me too! Brings back great memories p dancing with friends!
Just turned 60 and love this just as much as in the 80s
Can't believe it's been 42 years since it came out and still fire!
I can’t believe I’m that old😅😂
Bien gracias
Straight fire! Love these guys.
Yes indeed my friend
😂😂 alllll of the ol school jams still fire !
RIP Ronnie Wilson. Classic artists all the way!! MUSICAL GENIUSES! Have loved them for FOUR DECADES!!!! I was 12 when this came out.
😘
And your still boogying
Who is Ronnie Wilson? That’s Charlie Wilson and he is alive and well.
@@jennifersamuels4394 Ronnie Wilson is Charlie's brother.
@@jennifersamuels4394 Charlie, Robert and Ronnie (all brothers)---all part of the Gap Band
Can't get enough of this music, especially now - the world has gone crazy. The Gap Band and their sound reminds of better days that were absolutely magic!
Sadly so true.
Exactly. So fortunate to have experienced the non internet era
Uncle Charlie is a walking testimony!! He acknowledges his creator often for bringing him out of the wilderness!!😍
I am 62 too I am became 63 this month on 29 I listening Barry music too 🎉❤
Sounds just as good in 2023 as it did in 1981...that decade rocked🎉🔥
👉🏾🎯
No better decade in history.
It was the best! It was our decade!
Real music by true musicians. Black funk!
kiama desmangles oxymoron...
@@patp2690 You're a what?
You better say it!
Hi
The Best!
Skateland Eastside Detroit every Saturday & Sunday those were the Best Days!...i miss with deep passion!💯💙✌🏾
I'm in Roseland right now. Dancing the night away with everybody on that dance floor. Great memories ❤
****55 YEARS OLD... and here I am listening to this song for the number 16 million times.
😎👌🎷🎸🎺🎶🎵🎼
Their drummer does not get the credit and recognition he deserves!! If you have an ear for percussion 🥁 you’ll break your neck to his beats on this and other songs!! That high hat and them snares!!! Whoooo
I never knew anything about percussion but I know what I like and have ALWAYS liked this. The beat, the drums, the funky sound, the vocals. It all works so well together. But you can hear the drum carries the core. Love it!
GAP BAND BROUGHT ME HERE ✊🏾
I will always just LOVE THESE GUYS AND THIS HAPPY MUSIC!!!!
Put me in a time capsule and take me back to 1981. I was 21 years old always loved this song.
GAP Band was badass.
Kamala Harris is absolutely a fan of The Gap Band. 💙 Please vote so the younger generations can dance.
I guess,,,she ain't from old school period,, find out what HER Daddy said,,,OK,,,SMART PEOPLE CHANGE THEIR MIND,,,DUMB PEOPLE DONT,,
The keyboard player is tighter than a submarine door. drums the licks the lot. Bassline has killed me since I was a kid. Im 57 now and still one of my favourite funk songs ever . Energy .
When music was for real!
I’m lucky to be old enough to remember when this first came out. I had the record. It’s was sooo good then and it’s sooo good now. Timeless funk perfection.
So true... 👍🏽
Vale gracias
I don't care what nobody say seventies was the best yes ever
I still have the vinyl album ❤😊
@@stacyslaughter2503 , the 80s was great.
Early 80's at the roller skating rink people would lose their friggin minds when this song came on and The Brothers Johnson - Stomp too. Yeah!!!
The roller rink always played the jams that kept you skating!
I'm here because I have a good taste for music.
Who else is here because you grew up in a black household, and your parents played this kind of music all the time? 😅
I'm white, but these guys were killing it when I was coming up. Funk was King when I was a kid!
Im from Poland, my pops still has the original vinyl he somehow almost-illegaly accquired, as american music was difficult to come across in communist Poland, and to this day; its his single favorite band.
This music bought people from all races together. It didn't matter if you were white, black, Asian, Hispanic or whatever. One nation under a groove baby yeah!
I'm here because I grew up in a pasty white household and my mum played Engelbert Humperdinck.
Why's it gotta be black??
Still listening to all the music in 2024. The 80s R&B was the best.
Let's go continue this another day 🎉😂😢😂😂❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Ein Hit aus meiner Jugend. Unvergesslich und immer wieder gut.
I'm 62 and still in love with them!
58 yo UK 'white boy' and im still creaking to this!!
30 year old Balkan white girl here 👍🏻
You know you have something unique when you can play 4 measures from a band’s catalog and immediately know the artist. These guys had that kind of sound - Very distinctive. And still influential. I love The Gap Band!
I used to listen to this when I was 7 or 8 in 80-81 and recently heard Dave Grohl mention it in an interview and here I am - still sounds great
An old school party just ain’t right without the Gap Band💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾
I love them so much.
I don't even like Funk that much, but The Gap is just perfection!
Them and the magic of early Motown.
PURE ENERGY.
I remember playing this song on my car with my friends, what blast 💥
" WHO , know bout DAT,"??? Burn Rubber on me,!!! Let's go 2024, Likes that😮😮😮😮😮
Who is listening in 2020 🔊🔊🔊👌👍
Yes!
🖐🏾
Burned up alot of dance floors to this song.
I am 64 yrs wild & a member of Funk Nation for LIFE!
Love it all funk lady
@@mikkalinka9781 58 and lovin' it!!!
Charlie's eyes and smile was everything. Feels like a house party to me.Too old to jam like I use to, but I wear a chair out! LOL!
I love the Gap , music you can dance to with a terrific beat without the vulgarity. I am 70 years old and still enjoy dancing to their music. The good old days, the great memories dancing with a group of friends to the Gap band music.
62 and I'm am happy to say I love the old funk, lowriding and weed. ❤
A note about bassist Robert Wilson's hat. Folding up the brim like that makes marching with a rifle easier. Probably also works with a guitar. The whole band is doing it in the video for "You Drop a Bomb on Me." Don't laugh at the hats and the Roy Rogers shirts, they're all from Tulsa!
Listening in 2024 awesome 👍👍💯❤️❤️
Man I tell ya, this is by far, the FUNKIEST Disco Song EVER. I had the time of my life every friday nite when Disco nights came this song was N°1 and the dance floor packed from side to side..🕺
PSA Whoever put a thumbs down DOES NOT and I repeat DOES NOT HAVE THE LOVE FOR A CLASSIC AND DOES NOT APPRECIATES GREAT MUSIC AT ALL.............THAT IS ALL CARRY ON
And they should definitely just go away
2023 and still listening to this ,song.
When my kids were kids, I played nothing but this kind of music. When this came on my youngest son heard it, swear he was riding a motorcycle 😂😂😂
I'm 53 and these guys still rock it for me
Back in the 70s The Gap Band was one of my favorite bands I'll never forget them I'm 60 years old now and I'll still listen to them
Too cool!
Scottish..but went to work in Germany in late 70's and listened to AFN radio station and first heard this on there..totally converted me from punk to funk😊
Me too!
They were great in the 80s as well.
I finally bought earbuds 40 bucks they’re called nor buds I’m dancing around at my work in parking lot too - early in the morning and this song people are laughing with me cuz I have the grooves ❤😂. Also peeps I recommend MINISTRY- “ work for love”
Come on people let's go back to the seventies and eighties when music was great and people were having fun going out to the disco club's and dance the night away I'm 68 years old guy and i love going out to the disco club's back in the seventies and eighties we had the best music ever
Danced to this in early 80's and still do now (when I'm 65) = still as haunting and brilliant as it ever was then!
that voice is so pure whether he sings high or low. what a gift.
Partied hard to this at the skating rink….. then again in my 40’s.
Música de verdad. Gracias por subir está clase de música. Un abrazo desde 🇺🇾 Uruguay. 🎉🎉🎉
Glad I had the chance to live in the 80s... unforgettable sweaty parties all night long!!👏👏
For any one who doesnt know . Dave Grohl has just said in an interview that he used the gap band , cameo and tony thompson in Nirvana Nevermind . Notice how the drums starts out the same like in smells like teen spirit .
Funk ❤is still a Thang !!!
Ding ding dong !!!
Burn 🔥 rubber. Baby !!!
Music like this makes you feel like all is well with the world.
That's a badass song can't stop listening to it it's so good I know I put a comment before but I can't find it but Charlie's got it going on with his white boots and his dancing and the other ones are great too you got a lot of funk to it
Real Music! 😊🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’ve been listening to gap band since I was55 yrs old now I’m 15 yrs old and still love this song Jan. 2024.
Robert's feet never stop moving. He is a natural dancer. I miss this kind of dancing - from your soul and not all this choreography. And choreography is good but ... just dancing is the best.
This song kicks a$$. It hits just as hard in 2021 as it did in 1980.
Uncle Charlie doing his thing!!
Love, Uncle Charlie, he is the funkiest douse, then and now !!!!!🎤🎹🎸📀💿
I got to see this band live in Indiana Holiday inn Hotel concert theater on July 31st, 1987!
The man i married i didnt know was a rude & stupid racist! He kept tell n me i couldny get my pic with 1 of the singers as i was n my handerchif knee hugh wed n dress.
Instead of grab n my hand & kiss n me he walked off as fast as he could 10 feet in front of me leave n a very kind young woman complimenting my wedding dress & how nice i looked.
When i looked back my new hubby was 18 feet away from me.
U white girls never marry a racists white man & never keep date n him for 5 yrs until u know how hes gonna treat u n front of your friends.
Haters got no game up n my caucasision/native cherokee heart!
Uncle Charlie was foxy back in the day ....still very sexy
Right! My man was up there vibing 🤣
I love Gap Band videos because they always look as if they are having an awesomely good time! Solid.
This song just plain rocks!!
I grew up dancing to this in my early clubbing days. Here I am again cause nothing will ever replace this. I'm. 64 in Oct.
I will be 62 in December. This was my song coming out of high school in 1981.
Look I’m 26 yrs old listen old music love it can’t help it so real
I am 9 years old but jam to this
It ain't old you to young
cause it is..for real!!!
I put my kids up on as much as I remember
I lived during these times. It is still the best music
When real talent existed . Love love love
They don't make music like this no more
one of the greatest 3 men band of all time
There will never be music like this again. Everything is so degrading to women now.
I totally agree.
I understand. 👍✨💐
It seems music can't get any worse than it is right now in 2021
One of my favorite. I still dance to all of them. Viva the 80.
Viva #1980 is right!!❤🤘❤🤘
Me too. I still have the album.
NO SPECIAL FX NO NAKED BODIES EVERYWHERE NO FAST CARS NO FAN CLUB JUST THREE MEN HAVING FUN DOING THEIR THING ENJOYING THE MUSIC THEYRE MAKING!!
I used to sing to my niece all of these songs , along with double dutch bus
No for real Charlie Wilson this brothers voice.🎉 Mfing Gap Band! ❤ How can't you? Be it you or me
Back in the day, I was 14, and wore out my turn table’s needle and the record itself played it over and over and over and over...... funk legends never die 🙏👍👍.. I’m still playing it along with : ‘you dropped the bomb on me’ , ‘early in the morning’....etc !
Me too, played it over and over still have original in loft
“ One of the true top dogs of funk, without a doubt”.
YOU ARE VERY BEAUTIFUL.
Love all of there music mr charlie you are the only left from the gap band love you uncle charlie
A Great Inspiration from Dave ❤👏👏🇧🇷 Gap Band 🙌
THE GAP BAND WORKED HARD - EVERYONE COORDINATED EVERY STEP FROM SINGER TO MUSICIANS AND DANCERS ! WISH CAMERAMEN HAD BEEN MORE TALENTED!
what more did you want from the camera man?
I think the cameramen did a great job!
It's not the camera man it's the technology
The music is timeless, the video .......not 😂😂oooh dear lord ! They look like gay Rodeo clowns......... Great song ☝️
Just here because I liked alot of Gap Band songs when I was growing up.
