0

Charlie Wilson is a name that stands out as one of the most influential artists in the history of R&B music. Throughout the late ’70s and early ’80s he dominated the charts, wrote and produced four #1 R&B hits and 15 top ten hits including “You Dropped a Bomb on Me,” “Outstanding,” “Yearning for Your Love,” “Oops Upside Your Head” and “Early in the Morning.” Uncle Charlie, as he is fondly known, has also added his trademark voice to many landmark hits of the ’80s, most notably “Computer Love” with his late friend Roger Troutman and Zapp.

Uncle Charlie and The Gap Band have been instrumental in defining modern day urban music. As the most sampled artist in history, The Gap Band has been used by over 150 recording artists including Mary J. Blige, Usher, Ashanti, Will Smith, Madonna and George Michael. As many of you will know in 1997, Uncle Charlie forged a relationship with Snoop Dogg, performing on Snoop’s platinum “Doggfather album”, singing “Snoops Upside Ya Head,” “Tha Doggfather,” “She Was Just a Groupie” and many others. More recently Charlie collaborated with Snoop on tracks including the smash hit “Beautiful” featuring Pharrell and the latest hit “Signs” featuring Justin Timberlake.

Uncle Charlie continues his legacy by enlisting an incredible array of talent including Snoop Dogg, R. Kelly, Justin Timberlake, Will.I.Am, Pharrell, Scott Storch, Kay Gee, Todd Terrill, Dre & Vidal and the Underdogs for his latest album, “Charlie, Last Name Wilson.” There are conflicting tracklists currently however the one i have received is shown below, the album is executive produced by R.
