The Gap Band was an American R&B and funk ensemble that achieved prominence during the 1970s and 1980s. Formed in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the group was led by three brothers—Charlie, Ronnie, and Robert Wilson—along with additional musicians. The band's name derived from three streets in Tulsa's historic Greenwood neighborhood: Greenwood, Archer, and Pine. Operating from their formation in 1967 until 2010, they became known for their contributions to funk and soul music, blending elements of classic pop and rock into their sound.
