Released on 17th Jan 2020 was a new single from Charlie Wilson targeted at the Chicago steppers scene with a return to a similar vibe to 'There Goes My Baby' from 2009 Uncle Charlie LP, which was only his second single to creep into the US Top 100 at #98. The other being Charlie, Last Name Wilson in 2005 which reached #67.
Former lead singer with The Gap Band, Charlie Wilson was nicknamed Uncle Charlie by Snoop Dogg. The Gap band retired in 2010 after15 albums. Wilson released his first solo album in 1992 and has to date released 9 albums.
'Forever Valentine' is a collaboration with Bruno Mars despite a recent dispute over over Mars's Uptown Funk using parts of The Gap Band's 'Oops Upside Your Head' which was a massive hit in UK (#6) whilst just missing out on the US Top 100 (#102). The matter didn't go to court as Charlie, Ronnie & Robert Wilson and 2 other members of The Gap Band were given writer credits.
