Album Notes & Community Reviews

Breaking through to the national mainstream, 'The Gap Band II' perfected the Wilson brothers' devastatingly heavy, synthesizer-driven funk sound. Anchored by the legendary, infectious groove of 'I Don't Believe You Want to Get Up and Dance (Oops!)', the album seamlessly bridges raw P-Funk influences with sleek R&B pop. It established the trio as undeniable titans of the 1980s urban dancefloor.
