LineUp

Charlie Wilson, an R&B icon from Oklahoma, rose to fame as The Gap Band's lead singer. Known for hits like "Outstanding," Wilson boasts 11 #1 singles, 13 Grammy nods, and a BET Lifetime Achievement Award. His solo work includes chart-toppers like "Forever Valentine" with Bruno Mars and "I'm Blessed" featuring T.I. Dubbed "Uncle Charlie" by Snoop Dogg, he's collaborated with stars like Pharrell, Kanye West, and Chance the Rapper. His memoir, "I Am Charlie Wilson," is a best-seller.
Cameo, formed by Larry Blackmon in NYC, is known for their funky R&B hits and bold style. Notable songs include "Word Up," "Candy," and "She's Strange." They evolved from a Parliament/Funkadelic comparison to trailblazers themselves, influencing younger R&B and hip-hop artists. Hits like "Rigor Mortis" and "I Just Want to Be" topped the R&B charts. Blackmon's codpiece-wearing stage persona became iconic. They thrived in the '80s with albums like *Word Up!* and *Single Life*. Their music endures through compilations and samples in modern tracks.
