What’s
up people? Did you see your shadow the other day? Well for the
people
who actually care winter will be staying around for a few more
weeks.
Sh** i was hoping on putting away the jackets and umbrellas.
Speaking
of staying around nothing has had the staying power as the
career
of Charlie “last name” Wilson. The proverbial redwood tree of
music
is
back with a new album named “Forever Charlie”. I'm starting to
think
he
may just last forever. From “you dropped the ball on me” to
collabs
with
his celeb “nephew” Snoop. Charlie Wilson has been relevant for
decades.The
new album has 12 tracks with features from pop stars Shaggy
and
Snoop Dogg, In addition to Jam & Lewis, Wilson’s “Forever
Charlie”
collaborators
include longtime P Music Group colleagues Gregg Pagani
and
Emile Ghantous. The latter, in tandem with Steve Daly and Keith
Hetrick,
comprise the P Music team “Cartoons,” which produced four tracks
on
the new album. Charlie said “ i wanted to give the album an uptempo
feel
like what the Gap Band did”,and he didn't disappoint the album is a
blend
of love and uptempo reggae r&b collabos. Please don't think the 9
time
grammy nominee is slowing down because he isn't, the voice that is
so
distinctive seems to find its way onto the radio and into your ears.
The
“Forever
Charlie” tour begins Feb. 12 so expect to see Mr. Wilson on the
road
here soon. The album is great I listened to the whole thing and I’m
just
in aw of the fact that the voice from before my time is still
pushing and reaching
people
today. I can't imagine today's singers even around in five years. The
authentic
star power of our legends of the 60’s and 70’s just haven't
trickled
down
yet!! Thats why its important to appreciate Charlie’s talent
because
it
may not happen again. Go check it out Charlie Wilson's new album out
now on the Streetwise Radio Ultra Mix, iTunes, Live365,
