    "comment": "Founded in 1967 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and comprised of multi-instrumentalist brothers Ronnie, Charlie, and Robert Wilson, the Gap Band surfaced as one of the most popular funk/rhythm-and-blues (R&B) groups of the 1980s. The brothers grew up performing in their father's Pentecostal church in Tulsa. There their mother was the church's pianist, and the boys sang every Sunday before their father's sermon. Ronnie, the oldest, started a group when he was fourteen and eventually recruited his younger brothers to play in the band, which they named after streets in the heart of Tulsa's historic African American business district, Greenwood, Archer, and Pine.\n--\n\"Yearning\" was co-written by Ronnie Wilson and Oliver Scott and remains a master class in songwriting. It was a romantic love song dedicated to Wilson's wife at the time and was performed by Ronnie's brother Charlie Wilson.  It has been sampled multiple times.",
