THE GAP BAND: (Singing) I gave you my money. NPR's Elizabeth Blair has more.ĮLIZABETH BLAIR, BYLINE: The Gap Band made music that thumped in your heart and made you want to dance. Ronnie Wilson's death this week was announced by his wife on social media. Decades later, the group's music has been sampled by many modern artists. With hits like 'You Dropped A Bomb On Me' and 'Early In The Morning,' The Gap Band dominated the R&B charts in the 1980s.
Now we pay tribute to Ronnie Wilson, a founding member of The Gap Band.
