Charlie Wilson with Angie Stone

As one of the most distinguished voices in R&B music, Charlie Wilson needs no introduction. The Tulsa, Oklahoma native and former lead singer of the funkadelic brotherly trio, the GAP Band, is now going two for two with his second solo album on Jive Records, entitled UNCLE CHARLIE. The album was released February 17, 2009 debuting #1 on Billboard R&B/Hip Hop Chart and #2 on the Billboard Pop Chart. This album debut was a career high for Wilson, even charting than any of his previous projects, including the GAP Band albums.
Once dubbed “the de-facto father of new jack swing,” artists like Aaron Hall and R. Kelly have long paid homage to his characteristic vocal style. Labelmate, Kelly, wrote and produced the hit single, “Charlie Last Name Wilson,” from the gold-certified CD of the same name. From classic R&B GAP Band hits like “Yearning for Your Love” and “Outstanding” to collaborations with Justin Timberlake on “Signs” and Snoop Dogg and Pharrell Williams on the Grammy nominated track “Beautiful,” Wilson continues embracing contemporary music with his phenomenal vocal style and unique licks.

Neo-soul singer Angie Stone was in R&B trio Vertical Hold in the early 90s, before trying another group called Devox in 1996. She co-wrote and performed with emerging neo-soul star D’Angelo before striking out on her own with solo debut album Black Diamond in 1999. Mahogany Soul (2001) featured production help from Swizz Beatz and Ali Shaheed Muhammad, and both these albums achieved gold certification for sales of over 500,000. However, Stone Love (2004) and The Art of Love & War (2007) were only modest successes as Stone struggled to maintain her status as an essential artist for neo-soul fans.
