I wish it was Charlie and his brothers, but it sounds otherwise. Regardless, I'll watch; it will be the first and only time I watch that show. I hate it!

The GAP Band Left Tulsa At The Beginning Of Their's Sucess

The GAP Band left Tulsa really before the sucess of their's Second Album and knocked around Los Angeles many times 5 to 7 band members sleeping on the floor of their's apartment. However the GAP really never were sucessful until they reduced the band down to just the brothers.And Left the Leon Russell Group and signed a major recording contract...their's Second Album was a HUGE SUCESS...
Their's first album was recorded at Leon Russell (Church Studio) I forget if it was located on 5th or 6th street between Perioa and Lewis....I was a studio Hang Out , but never saw Leon Russell mainly because I only hung out during the DAY.I could've become a studio Technician by doing a lot of FREE Studio work.....paying My Dues....
The Brothers have recorded a whole string of Gold and Platinum Album...I believe that their's second breakout album was multi-Platinum |
