Charlie Wilson
Black Singers Male: Anyone could see in those early Gap Band videos that Charlie Wilson had charisma. He was indeed like your favorite uncle who was always cutting up at family gatherings making everybody laugh so the nickname Uncle Charlie is fitting. After admitting a bou
t with drug addiction, losing his fortune and dealing with health issues, Wilson reinvented himself climbing from unimaginable depths to reemerge as an artist who has a whole new legion of fans today skyrocketing his most recent music to the top of the charts. A feat almost unheard of for an artist over 40 today. Click Next for Next Singer
Charlie Wilson’s voice is the backbone of RnB music today. His style remains as relevant today as it was decades ago…I am LOVE me some Charlie Wilson…Shabba Dabba twee twee twee !!
I saw Uncle Charlie in Albany, GA on August 3rd the show was awesome. I really enjoyed it. I loved when you acknowledge God as head of your life and then gave him some praise. Keep up the good work and May God continue to Bless you.

Wow. Maxwell, Dr. Dre and Charlie Wilson but no Earth, Wind & Fire? Really? What about The Isley Brothers 50 plus years in the business and still making top 10 albums. I would put them before Dr. Dre and Maxwell.
How about Ronald Isley and Levert. L.L. Cool J. Chaka Khan. Patti Labelle.
I LOVE RHIS MAN’S MUSIC SO MUCH! !!!!!!!!
This piece doesn’t hold much validity. Any act with a fan base is able to tour without a new recording. There are lots of those (Chaka, Earth, Wind and Fire, etc.) That’s not to say Maxwell or Charlie Wilson wouldn’t LIKE to have a new hit. They’re certainly trying.
Sade and Prince, on the other hand, truly transcend the hit record and can do whatever they want. Trying to make the connection between Sade’s longevity and Maxwell simply because he used a member of Sade’s production team for his first record a million years ago, is weak. And the only thing that makes Dre relevant is that he’s rich.
