Yes Charlie Wilson have two amazing women in his life. Thank God for his cousin for helping him to "see himself" and for taking him to the rehab where he met his wife. God Bless them both!!!
@@mrs.berniemadoff3324 Mrs Bernie I think she's trying to convey that black boys and men think they always have to be tough given the environment they come from. This is the plight that black & brown males face. that's not taking away any issues from any other race. She was just commenting on a issue (the inability to cry) that impacts the males in our community
A very inspiring story. I am 3'years older than Charlie. I remember the Gap Band. I loved their music, but I knew nothing about his life until now. I've heard of "management" robbing artists and holding them captive. I've heard of celebrities losing their grip on life due to drug addiction, Few stories end this well. God bless everyone involved in the making of his recovery. I am filled with joy right now. I will buy his book because I want to know all about it.
Wow. The Gap band is one of my favorite groups of all time. I had no idea he went through all of that. I'm glad he made a turn around and a come back. God bless. Now, my story doesn't involve drugs, but still- I'm waiting for my miracle too.
Mr. Wilson, a.k.a. Uncle Charlie (I'm in Hawaii, and calling our elders Uncle and Aunty is a sign of respect here), your music is blessing in my life. Your life is a blessing to me and everyone whose lives you've touched. Your music is a gift from God and it makes me happy and full of life. Thank you for being real, raw and vulnerable. I have so much respect for you and your family. Aloha from Honolulu, Hawaii and God bless. 🙏
Man I love unc even more now. I had no idea he went through that. He came back with a vengeance too. Still singing, still giving us his music. My mother and father loved his music and so do I. Keep dropping bombs!
That's why I love me some Charlie Wilson because he was so vulnerable and honest to let everybody know how and what he went through....powerful truth, thank you uncle Charlie!
I just learned about Charlie Wilson today 12/22/2020 He was on the Breakfast Club this morning talking about numerous things. I really love the story of how he met his wife.
I was tearing up too. I haven't heard his full story before glad to see him doing well an still able to make good music. That's is a comeback. Nobody but the Lord! Deliverance an recovery is available if you want it...
Omg. I LOVE. The Gap Band. I had no idea he went through such struggles after all the band’s prior success. I’m so thankful God was in his life. Love you Charlie Wilson.
I appreciate Uncle Charlie's story because he reminds me of my brothers who was also on drugs in the past. They tried to do better and there were times when they were motivated enough to make some changes that caused them to be better but when things got difficult they would backslide. They went to jail for crimes some petty and some I never knew why. They just like my children and myself did not have the support. What I did thought was tried not to repeat what I saw at that time by remembering and feeling sad for not just my family members who were on crack but other people including my friends who tried it for the first time then got hooked. The truth is that we sat around and seen our family members looking like zombies that I was surprised and felt disheartening when I saw people I grew up with now hanging in spots or same places as the generation before them. I am happy for Charlie that he met himself someone who was willing to just be... a good person to him because of who she was. It works and that is all tha matters. Color is not an issue. Blacks and Whites have had relationships since the begining of time some good some bad and some just (neutral) work it out. 😊
Your life story Uncle Charlie is inspirational so inspiring. You never know what a person been through until they express it and encourages others to keep going shows there is light at end of the tunnel. You and Uncle Steve been through a lot and look at you now showing there is hope. Thanks for encouragement. Love ya both and hope to meet you one day
wow. stories like this about how God destines one's spouse is what I love to hear. Can't anyone tell me stories like this wasn't made in Heaven. Give glory to God!
Uncle Charlie made my tears come too but only bc of Gods mercy, grace & unconditional love towards us. Gods Angel's put people in CW life to help him be better & healthier. Ty Jesus for blessing him w/a wonderful voice, powerful life-changing story to tell. I just found this one 4-1-20. Stay safe & ty all
Walked the same slow path back to the light so hearing an OG like Charlie talking about living rough so honestly brought tears to me. The same tears brother Wilson sheds today. Tears of joy and gratitude. Praise Jesus!
Chris Evans my man was working minimum wage jobs and we were barely getting by between the two of us and he kept saying he wanted a career but school was going to take too long, so i looked into him getting his CDL and he went away to train for it, i supported him a hundred percent, now he's making bank and thanks me at least twice a week for being supportive and pushing him to do better for himself and his family. Couldn't be prouder of him because he stands taller and is proud of himself finally.
markbra yes I agree CHARLIE deserves the Grammy and more. After all these years. Still love you. Thank God he founded the best woman in his life..! God bless you CHARLIE WILSON..!🙏❤️🇺🇸
Charlie is a man who loves to serve. He used let us hear his live shows on reel to reel. He was our engineer at the Total. He was a star and a servant. Yes I can accept him as my uncle. He walks the walk. I am forever affected.
I feel his pain , it's crazy 1 minute life can be everything you want and the next it's everything you hate. Last year I had an awesome job , gf money , nice car chasing my dreams now I'm crippled by anxiety, no job , no car scraping by. Cherish the good times people , they do come and go but if you stick it out it comes back around.
Mr. Wilson is truly an amazing inspiration of a person who gave it all he had to pull himself out of the gutter of the substance abuse life !!! Which is another reason when , whenever he comes to our town to do a show , I make it a habit to get some of the best seats for us . One heck of a performer too , will give you your money’s worth- singing ALL of his songs from the 70’s to the present !!!
To Steve Harvey and uncle charlie I wanted to say thank you if I could ever meet uncle charlie I would be so gratefully and thank you for helping me get thru as I heard your story year ago I was entering rehab and now I have been clean and I'm so gratefull I lost the my mom the day after my birthday and her birthday was three days before mine and wow uncle charlie you helped me believe in me and helped show me the way and now my life has turned around like 3times full with all the people God has placed in my life that I'm so gratefully for so Steve Harvey if you read this I would love to meet up with u and charlie wilson and allow me to fully share my story thanks Steve warmington

Derricottie She aint dumb. She knew she would benefit economically, if she could hook him and keep him clean. He has economic value. She bites the bullet up front, and makes a killing on the tail in. Also she is just his beard to hide his his homosexuality.

Praise God PRAISE GOD!! So much love and respect for this man!!!
Walked the same slow path back to the light so hearing an OG like Charlie talking about living rough so honestly brought tears to me. The same tears brother Wilson sheds today. Tears of joy and gratitude. Praise Jesus!
When a man finds a wife he finds a good thing and obtain favor of the Lord. My God..... True testament of how a woman can be the backbone to a man.
Chris Evans my man was working minimum wage jobs and we were barely getting by between the two of us and he kept saying he wanted a career but school was going to take too long, so i looked into him getting his CDL and he went away to train for it, i supported him a hundred percent, now he's making bank and thanks me at least twice a week for being supportive and pushing him to do better for himself and his family. Couldn't be prouder of him because he stands taller and is proud of himself finally.
Chris Washington but what about the other side of that coin? the thing women say to other women, "you don't need a man to make you happy".
God bless Charlie Wilson. He told the story of how this white woman who was his nurse saw him through.
Chris Washington how right you are my friend, I have not heard a more realistic comment, and thank you for posting it.
What an Amazing Testimony of What god can do.....I love Charlie Wilson i grew up on his music And we are still Big Fans of yours.....
