Charlie Wilson - You Are
Artist: Charlie Wilson
Producer: Charlie WIlson & Wyl-E
Album: Untitled
Label: RCA
Although the young, casual music fan may know Charlie Wilson more for his guest work with Kanye (today’s Good Friday, See Me Now) or Snoop (Can’t Say Goodbye, SD Is Out), the man has been churning out quality r&b and funk since his days as the frontman for The Gap Band in the ‘70s. Now gearing up to drop his third solo album, via Jive Records, the smooth singing man they call Uncle Charlie is back in the Booth with his new single, the supremely smooth You Are. From the slowly winding bass to the softly walking percussion, co-producers Charlie and Wyl-E build You Are around an archetypal r&b ballad, laced with notes of gospel influence. But, of course, centerstage belongs to Charlie’s voice, which soars over the track with a steadiness and deepness frankly unmatched by any younger voice in the game. With more “grab your lady close and slow dance” records like You Are undoubtedly on the way, delivery rooms worldwide should start preparing now for the influx of babies that will surely be arriving approximately nine months after Wilson’s upcoming, currently untitled and unscheduled album finally drops.
This song first appeared on the

Charlie is a like a fine wine - he only gets better and better with age (and no, I didn't make that one up). This has Urban AC hit single written all over it. Big big fan!

It doesn't matter what era it is, from the 70's to the 2010's, with smooth vocals and soulful production it's a great track. This hits on both counts.

I’m on the fence with this once because I truly enjoyed the song, but as soon as it finished I’d forgotten about it.

Only for the grown and sexy. I'm both. (Plus I'm humble). Charlie Wilson is a man in a kid r&b game, and this is one hell of a record. On repeat.

When a man tells a woman he wants to express his love, and then says lets listen to Uncle Charlie, it is time to think about where the relationship is headed. She listens deeply, maybe once or twice to the lyrics, she listens again, because her man is 3,000 miles away and this love is 30 years old. "You Are" then becomes a moment to make her question her love for him. "You Are" is visceral. The phrases: "You're easy to love, The reason I love ... trust, the reason I come home" are not words she can take lightly. This song, with all its cool, r&b, tells this woman that if someone says you're an angel sent from heaven then its possible, despite what she thinks, this is the one. Uncle Charlie's "You Are" ignites passion, instills hope, inspects the heart, and involves truth.
