  • Through all the ups and downs, Charlie Wilson has always kept a positive attitude and made things fun. Out promoting his new memoir “I Am Charlie Wilson,” we hear the classic Gap Band front man speak candidly on everything from his incredible friendship with Snoop Dogg to 20 years sober to his take on people glorifying drugs in music.
    Just finishing up playing Essence Festival for the ninth year in a row, Wilson speaks on always keeping things fun as he outlines some of his favorite Gap Band memories. From record executives telling him he was washed up to finding a genuine friendship with Snoop Dogg, Wilson explains how their relationship started and all the things that Snoop has done for him.
    With more hits than most modern day artists, Wilson outlines his experiences working with some of the industries greatest in Pharrell, Kanye and even Pimp C.

    Come on, now! That's my uncle right there. Look at him blow right on the spot with no excuses. How you gon sound like the record 30+ years later? I really appreciate and respect that. The Gap Band's music has been with my family and I on picnics, vacations, Saturday mornings and so much more. And that voice on Charlie.....come on baby! I always credit Johnny Gill and K-Ci for my generation, but for the 70's and 80's, it's all about Stevie Wonder and Charlie Wilson. I just love the way they sing. This man's conquered drugs and homelessness and came out on top. He's gifted. Excellent interview and I learned a few things from it. Thanks, Sway. #anditsstillallgood

      702pow reminiscent of Stevie Wonder is appropriate. The inspiration for his type of riff originates from Stevie, IMO. The order is Stevie -> Charlie -> Aaron Hall -> R. Kelly -> K-Ci Haley

      @@simonsez1787 Your list is correct until R. Kelly & K-Ci - R. Kelly never sounded anything like Aaron - if you really listen to R. Kelly, especially his blue album, his vocal influence is really the Isleys, this why he did some collabos with them and K-Ci' vocals were more gospel.

    • @simonsez1787
      @simonsez1787 2 года назад

      @@rikkidgermano9640 I don’t think Kelly sounds like Aaron, nor K-Ci sounds like Kelly. My arrows at the time were more to indicate their order of stardom since Stevie, and there was a “sound” that trended in the 90s that they followed. But yeah, they don’t sound alike to a deeper fan’s ear. Both K-Ci and Aaron have an Apostolic influence tho.
