Essential Music: “Outstanding” by The Gap Band

Growing up around music, some tunes just stuck in my head, even if I didn’t know what they were at the time.

One of these songs is “Outstanding” by The Gap Band.

You will hear this song at many a family function and cookout. The hook to this song makes you want to throw your hands in the air and do a two-step.

Just see how people feel about this song from the comments section on YouTube:

“If this track aint played at family function its ain’t right!!!!”

“Feel good music…the way it’s supposed to be.”

“Great song and what I really love is everyone is dancing and don’t have cameras like they do now instead of enjoying the music and dancing to it.”

“An all time high club fave from 1982, that seems to have been around forever, a guaranteed player at soul events like Caister & alldayers, if a Dj is struggling to fill a dancefloor just stick a tune like this on, some great harmony over the top of a sublime groove, Charlie Wilson back in the day before he became a solo act”
