Living R&B Legend Charlie Wilson

When going through the list of the greatest R&B and funk frontmen of all time, Charlie Wilson will always lead the pack! The charismatic crooner rose to prominence fronting The Gap Band in the 70s and 80s, before embarking on a stellar solo career, releasing hits like There Goes My Baby, Yearning For Your Love and Burn Rubber throughout.

Not one to rest on his considerable laurels, Wilson has embraced reinvention of late, collaborating with the likes of T.I. and Shaggy on his latest material. Combining this fluidity with a sense of showmanship finely honed over the decades, the seasoned performer's soulful vocals bring together flashy costume changes, backup dancers and a tight horn section for a powerhouse show night after night.
