Charlie Wilson
Nov 18, 2012
Timeless. It's something every artist wants to be, but few earn the distinction. Charlie Wilson's name is on that short list.
From his breakout as a member of the Gap Band ("You Dropped A Bomb On Me," "Outstanding") in the '80s to his revered solo recordings (2005's certified gold Charlie, Last Name Wilson, 2009's Grammy nominated Uncle Charlie, and his 2010 release Just Charlie), Wilson has sold millions of albums. He has also inspired a throng of artists who have modeled their vocal styling after his (most notably Aaron Hall and R. Kelly) while cementing his status as a music icon with accolades from Billboard and BET, among a host of others.
His newly released single, "My Love Is All I Have" is currently available on iTunes and his upcoming, highly anticipated CD Love, Charlie is due for release in February, 2013.
Wilson was recently honored with two 2012 Grammy nominations for his chart-topping single, "You Are," for Best R&B Song and Best R&B Performance. "You Are" was the first single from Wilson's critically-acclaimed CD, Just Charlie and dominated Billboard's Urban Adult Contemporary chart remaining at #1 for 13 consecutive weeks.
