Usher : Tiny Desk Concert

View: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=up8ODGFWgFg

Usher and his band, all dipped in black, set it off with an introduction over a funky horn-laced instrumental reminiscent of a Blaxploitation flick. They keep that groove going right into a reworked version of his 1997 breakout single, "You Make Me Wanna..." Twenty-five years later, Usher sits arguably as the king of R&B. Between 2000 and 2010, there was no debate whatsoever, with his string of records that included the biggest R&B album of the 21st century, Confessions.

Usher Raymond has entered the chat.
SET LIST
  • "You Make Me Wanna..."

  • "U Don't Have to Call"

Charlie Wilson : Tiny Desk Concert


View: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=J3jUEB7qmt8

Flanked by a host of musicians, Wilson expressed the depth and breadth of his life and career, telling a tale of two Charlies. The Oklahoma native's success with The Gap Band, formed with his brothers Robert and Ronnie, began in the 1970s and stretched throughout the '80s. The group's many hits are classified as old-school funk and R&B, but it's the resurrection and connection with young hip-hop stars that make Charlie's story so compelling to me.


When I asked Uncle Charlie to explain the reason why he's such a draw in hip-hop, he said so much by simply stating: "I can sang!"

SET LIST
  • "Charlie, Last Name Wilson"
  • "Computer Love"
  • "There Goes My Baby"
  • "I'm Blessed"
  • "Yearning For Your Love"
  • "Sweet Yamz""Outstanding"
