(December 8, 2023) There aren’t many more adjectives available to describe the ageless, legendary Charlie Wilson. “Uncle Charlie” is the most popular adult R&B male vocalist of all time, and, both as the lead singer of The Gap Band and as a solo vocalist, he has been front and center for more than four decades.
For his newest single, “Superman,” Charlie worked with the popular production team The Stereotypes (Jonathan Yip, Ray Romulus, Jeremy Reeves and Ray Charles McCullough II), who’ve scored hits with everyone from Bruno Mars to Mary J. Blige. They help deliver a timeless adult soul love ballad about a man whose woman energized him and made him better through her confidence in him: “Never been good at waiting / ‘Til you showed me patience / How you know me / Yeah, you chose me / I was the one needing saving.”
Charlie Wilson sounds typically fantastic on the number, which has a blue-lights-in-the-basement slow dance groove to it. Check out “Superman” below, and welcome the great Charlie Wilson to your stereo in time for the holidays.
