Love, Charlie

An R&B icon with 45+ years in the game, Charlie Wilson co-founded the '70s funk group The Gap Band with his brothers Ronnie and Robert. Together they released more than 30 albums, plus absolutely classic, genre-defining singles such as "You Dropped a Bomb on Me" and "Outstanding." He's overcome addiction issues and prostate cancer and is still going strong. He's staying fresh as an in-demand collaborator for a gang of younger artists (Snoop Dogg, T-Pain, and Fantasia, among others), racking up various industry awards, doing charity work, and continuing to drop chart-topping hits. Love, Charlie is his sixth solo album since 1992, following up 2010's hugely successful Just Charlie. With an uncanny skill for blending classic soul stylings with modern sonic updates, he serves up a dozen great love songs here; they're perfect for any Uncle Charlie fan, young or old. Check out "My Love Is All I Have," "A Million Ways to Love You," "Ooh Wee," and "Whisper," featuring Keith Sweat.
