Charles Kent Wilson, lead singer of the Gap Band and one of the most influential vocalists of his era, turns 60 today. Here are a few of his songs. (Because it is his birthday we will not include the theme to I'm Gonna Git You Sucka, although we could because it really isn't anything to be ashamed of.)

Bassist Robert Wilson, who with brothers Charlie and Ronnie formed the Gap Band, died this Sunday at the age of 53.
