The Gap Band delivers funk pleasure
The pinnacle of groove is reached in "Gap Band 8."
The Gap Band reached their peak with this album, perfectly embodying the fusion of funk and R&B. The effective use of synthesizers reflects the music scene of the mid-'80s, creating a danceable yet sophisticated sound. This is a key work in the evolution of funk music.
