Throwback Thursday Playlist: Celebrating Charlie Wilson

 Throwback Thursday: Charlie Wilson Birthday & Funk Legacy

Tonight on Classix at Nite with Donna, we’re celebrating the birthday of Charlie Wilson — better known to many as Uncle Charlie — and honoring the smooth, feel-good funk legacy he helped create with The GAP Band.

From funk-driven classics to grown-man solo hits, Charlie Wilson’s music has soundtracked decades of dance floors, cookouts, late nights, and love stories. Tonight’s Throwback Thursday keeps the energy mid-tempo and soulful, highlighting the softer side of funk that still makes you move.

Here’s the full playlist from tonight’s show.
