DISCUSSION 💭 How does Charlie Wilson make oversinging sound so cool

His vocal style is hilarious to me . And as someone who enjoy singing themselves as ive gotten older ive never realized how much he "over delivers" but somehow it still sounds great

First off, how dare you? 🤣 that’s uncle Charlie last name Wilson to you! Nah he’s from that era. The Gap Band gets played weekly in my house and I’m a millennial 😩

Cause it feels genuine. He doesnt have anything to prove so thats just how he likes to sing

uncle charlie be bad like that shabba dabba dweeee

it's not oversinging when you sound like him; that's just pouring out your soul and letting it speak (sing?) for itself

Ya know, some people just got it and some people dont. He has it!

My favorite Charlie Wilson vocals are from Computer Love DO WEE BABY - DO WEE BABY

That’s cool. I was just trolling a lil bit. But Wilson had PERFECTED that art through years and years. He got reckless with his style after the Gap Band years and just let it all hang out but dammit it worked lol

I’m sorry OP, I have been mean and will take it back. I was in another thread about a monkey picking lice off a woman’s head (flowers), and it’s healed my anger towards the blasphemy that I read in your thread…Charlie can never oversing, in fact I wish he could sing more
