The Gap Band was an American R&B and funk band which rose to fame during the 1970s and 1980s. With the nucleus consisting of brothers Charlie, Ronnie, and Robert Wilson, the band first formed as the Greenwood, Archer and Pine Street Band in 1967, in their hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma. The group shortened its name to The Gap Band in 1973. After 43 years together, they retired in 2010.
After having grown up with a Pentecostal minister father, Ronnie Wilson formed the Greenwood, Archer, and Pine Street Band in 1967 with Tuck Andress (later of Tuck and Patti), Roscoe "Toast" Smith, and Chris Clayton. In 1972, Ronnie's younger brother Charlie joined the band, and in 1973, their younger brother Robert became the band's bassist. The band received its first big break by being the back up band for, fellow Oklahoman, Leon Russell's Stop All That Jazz album released in 1974.
Early on, the group took on a funk sound reminiscent of the early 70s. This style failed to catch on, and their first two LP's, 1974's Magician's Holiday and 1977's The Gap Band (not to be confused with their 1979 album) failed to chart or produce any charting singles. Afterwards, they were introduced to LA producer Lonnie Simmons, who signed them to his production company Total Experience Productions (named after his successful Crenshaw Boulevard nightclub), and managed to get them a record deal with Mercury Records.
"Outstanding" is a song originally performed by The Gap Band and written by member Raymond Calhoun. The song originally appeared on the group's platinum-selling 1982 album Gap Band IV. It is one of their signature songs and biggest hits, reaching the number one spot on the U.S. R&B Singles Chart in February 1983. "Outstanding" peaked at number fifty-one on the Billboard Hot 100.
The song has been sampled frequently in hip hop and R&B songs over the years, including:

The Gap Band au Festival Sinbad's Summer Jam Music à St Thomas (Iles Vierges Américaine). The Gap Band, formé par les frères Wilson, a vu le jour en 1967 à Tulsa, Oklahoma. Ils se sont spécialisés dans la Funk en imposant leurs multiples tubes dont "Outstanding" fait parti ("I don"t believe you want to get up and dance (oops!)", "Yearnig for your love"...). Tous leurs plus grands tubes ont été repris, samplés et remixés par les grands noms du Hip Hop des années 90. "Outstanding est donc ce titre qui a été réutilisé par plus de 150 artistes depuis sa création en 1982 ; c'est dire à quel point le groupe Gap Band a pu influencé la culture musicale noire Américaine.

This tribute mix features the great work of the Gap Band. They started in 1967 out of Tulsa OK. The were originally known as the Greenwood, Archer and Pine Street Band and later shorten their name to the GAP Band. I got see them perform in the 80s and it was a great performance. About a year ago I went to see Charlie Wilson and it was also a great performance. If you have not seen Uncle Charlie, don't miss it if he comes to you city. Tracklist 1.
