On this day in 1985 {April 13th} the Gap Band performed "I Found My Baby" on the ABC-TV Saturday-afternoon program, 'American Bandstand'...

"I Found My Baby" peaked at #31 {for 5 weeks} on Billboard's Top 100 chart... Between 1977 and 1995 the Tulsa, Oklahoma band had thirty two records on the Hot Soul Singles chart, fifteen made the Top 10 with four* reaching #1, "Burn Rubber on Me (Why You Wanna Hurt Me)" in 1980, "Early In The Morning" in 1982, "Outstanding" in 1982, and "All My Love" in 1989... Sadly, founding member Robert Wilson passed away at the young age of 53 on August 15th, 2010 {heart attack}...

Music back in the day was so full of energy and had soul. If this doesn't make you move I don't know what will. I'm not buying the whole "newer is better" concept. This is Real Music.
Heard this song and had a flashback. We (my husband and I) would drive down the road going somewhere, and this song (in his large CD collection) would come on, and he would reach out for my knee and start playing pretend bass (he was a bass player) and I would mouth the words (I can't keep a tune), but when they sing "I found my Honey" We'd both sing the word "Honey" out at the top of our lungs and look at each other. We did this for some 30 years... Great fun was had by both of us. ❤ I miss having someone to share the music like we did.
This was still during a time when the choreography was just as important if not more important than the song. Back when they would record an album work on dance routines release the album then go on tour.
Carla Linton. I love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ The Gap Band. They are one of my favorite Soul Band of the 70s and the 80s. One of my favorite songs by The Gap Band is called. I Found My Baby. This is one of my favorite Old School Jams back in the day.
Thank you for my brother chuck limbrick I’m not s😮how y’all met but I’ve lilsten to since 1980 I we have listened to y’all for years. I’m glad y’all got to meet alway😊friends
Mark Davenport Indeed, but it's basically Outstanding, Part 2 in terms of the musical score. Although I like 'I Found My Baby' much better than 'Outstanding'.
Outstanding for damn sure. Much love and respect to the Gap Band. Their music brought much spark to my life (past, present and future). Darrin is right GB jacked their own beat lol. For those that don't like this...it's just not for you! This video is cute. This song has been in my head for 3 days now. The kid from them MJ videos (think his name is Brandon), he was an excellent choice. Nostalgia setting in.
God bless you "TgotSoul" for posting this video. I saw this video once when I was 8 years old back in 1985. Because I was so young, I never knew who sang or what it was called. The only thing I could remember from the video was a pretty little girl at the end carrying balloons. All my life every time I heard "Outstanding" it would sort of click something in my memory but never enough. This truly takes me back to being that 8 year old girl. For 25 years I've been trying to figure it out. Tx
@younghog2511 I'm 36 and my father would play music the gap band, kool and the gang and earth wind and fire every saturday too. My father passed in 2000's. You took me back with this post. Growing up in the 80's was the best.
Awwww yeah!!!!!! this is the jam right here brings back alot of memorys didn't have to worry about nothing just peaceful music this new stuff they making these days are garbage i only listen to real old school music this is where i grew up with this new generation dont know the true meaning of real old school music.
I remember seeing this video as a lil girl thinking this lil girl was really missing. And heavy judgment for a little because I was mad that her parents weren’t out there helping her brother look for her🤯🤣 Awwww I was so young ❤️
Here to pay respect to Ronnie Wilson of The Gap Band. Passed away today. One of my favorite groups
The 80s and 90s were the epitome of many genres of music, somehow it’s almost flatlined today
The harmony of the GAP Band is OUTSTANDING!!!
Yup
The Greenwich Archer and Pine Street Band of Tulsa Oklahoma. Thank you. Forever ❤
Rest in Heavenly Peace both Ronald and Robert
I love when I wake up, and an oldie pops in my head. I miss the 80s!
I’m so glad I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s ❤❤❤❤❤
Charlie Wilson's voice is like an antidote for whatever ails you !!!!!!!
a lot of lead vocalist copied his vocal style listen to Aaron Hall of GUY, and R Kelly,
G I R L! Ain't it though? ❤❤❤
Rest In Heaven Ronnie Wilson You Left Us Some Good Music 🎤🎹🎶🎵🎼🎧💯🙏🏽🕊 11/2/2021
That's not how it works
R.I.P. Mr. Robert Wilson!!!🎸🎸🎸🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤🌹🌹🌹🎤🎤🎤🎧🎧🎧🎵🎵🎵
At the age of 50 - I'm so excited to have found this song!! We used to ho nuts over it!!
So happy to have found my all time fave roller skating jam!!
I heard this song for the 1st time today at work. I literally had it on repeat the whole shift. It's something bout that hook.
🤣Yes, I'm about to Replay it again myself..

Simply put, they had it goin' on! Thanks for the history.
Excellent band. Thanks for this background to a song that introduced me to the Gap Band and made me a lifelong fan
Despite sounding like a cousin to the hit "Outstanding", this song is a rare gem...HOT STUFF. Thanks for posting this!
I take the sister 😂 from outstanding 🥳

GoodVibrations facts!
I love this song
I found her!! You Know WHO YOU ARE 'MY QUEEN' 💓and I love you ENDLESSLY MY WIFE and QUEEN!!
The Gap Band jacked their own beat, lol.
+Darrin Billingslea YOU GOT THAT RIGHT! You better say it!!!
bit their own style lol
Only GAP Band can take their own song and remake it so good to the point you don’t want the song to end. This is THE jam!
Well, "Outstanding," Part #2. 💁
Get it Uncle Charlie!!!! One of my FAVORITE GROUPS OF ALL TIME!!!!
this is my jam
Tamara Johnson uncle Charlie

Now this is a jam! 1:47 my favorite part of the song.. this song never gets old!
Best times for real music is the era of the80s and90s baby!!!
THE GAP BAND DID THEIR THING BACK THEN AND CHARLIE STILL DOING IT..YOU GO BOY!!!
THE BEST !!!!! GAP BAND NEVER CAN BE DUPLICATED !!!
This was still during a time when the choreography was just as important if not more important than the song. Back when they would record an album work on dance routines release the album then go on tour.
They shoulda just called this song "Outstanding Part 2"
The gap group will never get old!!! Always sounded good returning from the field hohnfels, west Germany.
My thoughts exactly ‘cuz it sounds similar to that song, but this one’s cool.
That's for damn sure
Same chords but just played in a different order
Actually, this song was supposed to be the original song, they just fleshed it out into Outstanding. Then a few years later, brought this gem out.

nao se faz melodias como antigamente , quebrou tuduuuuuuuuuuuu, d´best,of de best...
Should be called Outstanding 2.0
I agree with you 💯
Sorry, Outstanding came out first on the album Gap Band IV in 1982. I Found My Baby was released in 1985 on the album Gap Band VI.
Mark Davenport Indeed, but it's basically Outstanding, Part 2 in terms of the musical score. Although I like 'I Found My Baby' much better than 'Outstanding'.
Exactly:-)! Exactly what I call it.
I swear bro... seems like it was a g mix
Still love this song. This should be called the remix to Outstanding
Very Underrated!!!!

I found my honey!!! we been together 16 yrs still in luv
Oooooo the days!!!! Ive always wanted to dedicate this to the right person growing up!!! I found the perfect person to do so :-)
