The Gap Band was an American R&B and funk band that rose to fame during the 1970s and 1980s. The band consisted of three brothers Charlie, Ronnie, and Robert Wilson; and it was named after streets (Greenwood, Archer, and Pine) in remembrance of the Tulsa race massacre in the historic Greenwood neighborhood in the brothers' hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma. They retired in 2010; Robert Wilson died in August 2010 and Ronnie Wilson died in November 2021, leaving Charlie Wilson the only living member of the band.
Their best known hits were “I Don't Believe You Want to Get Up and Dance (Oops!)”, “Burn Rubber On Me”, “Outstanding”, “Early In The Morning”, “You Dropped A Bomb On Me” and “I Found My Baby”.
