Former The Gap Band frontman and perpetual source of joy, Charlie Wilson, has had a long and storied career as a singer, blessing audiences both young and old with this velvety voice and timeless swag. Now he’s giving us another reason to celebrate life while giving honor to God. On his new single “I'm Blessed” featuring T.I., Wilson takes us to church, reminding us to take some time out to give honor to God, even while we’re working on our own path to the straight and narrow.

The song starts with Uncle Charlie giving his own testimony, stating that if God would give him one more chance while he’s out here in these streets, he’s gonna give God his due. He makes good on his promise with a laid-back, feel-good inspirational R&B record, singing, “Ain't a day go by that I don’t try to thank the Lord up above / And if you wonder why I’m loving life / Come close and I’ll tell you what’s up,” over T.I. giving us a few well-placed ad libs. Tip gives his own testimony, rapping, “Know the devil working day and night / But I look ‘em in the eye, say you a damn lie.” While T.I. isn’t probably the first person you’d think of when you think inspirational R&B, the raw sincerity of his verse mirror’s Wilson’s own journey.

“I'm Blessed” is far from the first time that Charlie Wilson has lent his voice to praising the Lord or given his own testimony. The singer gave us life during his BET Celebration of Gospel 2014 appearance where he sang “If I Believe,” along with uplifting the audience with the CliffsNotes version of his own trials and tribulations. Anyone interested in fellowshipping with the living legend can catch him on his In It To Win It Tour with Fantasia and Johnny Gill and be on the lookout for the In It To Win It album coming February 17th in the new year. And if you need something to put a little inspirational pep in your step right now, press play right here.
