    "comment": "”You Dropped a Bomb on Me”, is regarded as the defining song, and the brightest moment, for the Gap Band.\n\nFor some time now, a rumor has swirled about the real meaning of the song, \"You Dropped a Bomb on Me\". Listeners who know the origin of the band have long suspected the song may have been written to shed a light on the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921.\n\n​The Gap Band's lead singer, Charlie Wilson, said he and his brothers, Ronnie and Robert Wilson, grew up in Tulsa just a few blocks from the Greenwood District, the Black neighborhood that was destroyed in the massacre. Charlie Wilson wrote the song, and said that despite the rumors, the only bomb the song is referring to is one made of love.\n\nRead more here:\nhttps://abcnews.go.com/US/gap-band-leader-discusses-hit-songs-connection-1921/story?id=76886953",
