The Gap Band II
The Gap Band II is the fourth studio album by the Gap Band, released in 1979 on Mercury Records. It is their second major label release, and produced by Lonnie Simmons.
The album reached No. 3 on the Black Albums chart and No. 42 on the Pop Albums chart. The album produced the singles "Steppin' (Out)" (No. 10 Black Singles), "Party Lights" (No. 36 Black Singles), and "I Don't Believe You Want to Get up and Dance (Oops!)" (No. 4 Black Singles, No. 52 Club Play Singles).
The album established the Gap Band as leaders in the R&B market, becoming their first gold album, selling over 500,000 copies through 1980. The album's most successful track, "I Don't Believe You Want to Get up and Dance (Oops!)", was their first to incorporate aspects of the P-Funk sound. The song also alludes to a well-known corruption of the childhood nursery rhyme, Jack and Jill (a pattern later continued on "Humpin'").
