One of my favourite singers, Charlie Wilson, with his band, The Gap Band. Unfortunately I've never seen him live yet. He has been playing twice at North Sea Jazz Festival I think but I had to perform myself during that weekend.. He is a singer I didn't know who he was in the past because of all his collaborations with other artists, Mint Condition, Snoop Dogg.. So when I heard albums from The Gap Band I finally got to know who he was and where he musically was coming from. His voice is on of the nicest and most recognizable in Funk and R&B. When you hear a really good singer ad-libbing and sounding a bit like Stevie Wonder but a bit more blunt and often using the sounds "owee", it's him :-)
One of the funkiest songs I know. Humpin'
This is one of my favourite tracks of this album. Also don't forget "Burn Rubber On Me"!
