The Tom Joyner Morning Show

Today’s Black Music Month Trivia Clue

The Gap Band, a R&B, funk and soul music group, rose to fame during the 1970s and 1980s. Comprised of brothers Charlie, Ronnie and Robert Wilson, the band was first formed as the Greenwood, Archer and Pine Street Band in 1967 in their hometown of Tulsa, OK. By 1979, the group had changed its name to The Gap Band, and found success with the groundbreaking single "I Don't Believe You Wanna Get Up and Dance (Oops Upside Your Head)". But it was in the 1980s that the group found their biggest success, with songs like "Yearning For Your Love", "Outstanding", "You Dropped a Bomb on Me", "I Found My Baby", "Early In the Morning", and "Party Train" further establishing the group as icons.
