GAP Band Fans

As I said in the other thread, I was floored that there were Gap Band fans here, even fanatics. I admit to stereotyping, just didn't broaden my mind enough, thought there were so many serious rockers, alt-rockers, etc. did not see potential fellow retro soul/R&B fans through the trees.

Besides the Gap Band, who are some of your other favs from the 70's & 80's?

Some of mine:

EWF
Commodores
Jackson 5 & Jackson & Michael
Kool & the Gang
Marvin Gaye
Con Funk Shun
Whispers

 

Gap Band
Commodores
Kool and the Gang
Marvin Gaye
Tina Turner
Chaka Kahn
Smokey
Aretha
Curtis Mayfield
Jackson 5


Prince

 

Any reason Prince is separated?

BTW, I brain farted on him, should have been on my list.

 

I love the Gap Band! Also a fan of Cameo and.....the great, forgotten Midnight Star (No Parking on the Dance Floor, Freakazoid and Operator).

 

For some reason, I wasn't sure if you would include him.

And, he stands alone.

 

".....LA Freaky Dancin", NY Freaky Dancin'.......New Orleans.."

 

Dazz Band
The O’Jays
Isley Brothers
The Spinners
Newcleus
SOS Band

This was just skimming my playlist.

If you love old school soul acts (or what’s left of them) B-list casinos in the Deep South are a gold mine.

 

I've discovered that no matter the age, in my family or wife's family, if I put on Sly and the Family Stone, everyone is pretty happy.

 

The list starts with Earth, Wind & Fire, Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye.

 

Epic 70s one hit wonder. It starts with each member stating their zodiac sign.....

 

EWF, Kool and the Gang, Stevie, Marvin, and there are some classic "one-hit wonders." Rapper's Delight of course,

 

Lakeside had other singles too, including All The Way Live. For a moment in time, Dayton was a music hotspot.
