R&B legend Ronnie Wilson, a founding member of The Gap Band and "Uncle" Charlie Wilson's older brother, is dead ... TMZ has confirmed.

Ronnie's wife, Linda Boulware-Wilson, tells TMZ ... he died at 10:01 AM Tuesday at his home in Tulsa, OK. We're told he died peacefully and Linda was holding his hand as he took his last breath.

Linda says Ronnie suffered a stroke last week, and it put him into a semi-coma and he never recovered. We're told he suffered several strokes throughout the years.


In a Facebook post, Linda remembered her late husband as a "genius with creating, producing and playing the flugelhorn, trumpet, keyboards and singing music."

Ronnie and his brothers, Charlie and Robert Wilson, formed The Gap Band back in the 1970s in Tulsa, OK ... and their music picked up the baton from huge acts like Stevie Wonder, George Clinton and Earth Wind & Fire.


The Gap Band was huge in the 1980s and they are most famous for their hit song, "You Dropped a Bomb on Me."

Ronnie was 73.

I heard he had a stroke, but damn. I wasn't expecting this.

Prayers for the Wilson family. I hope Charlie doesn't relapse. May he find strength at this time.

R.I.P. to Ronnie.

I read about this yesterday on TMZ. I was saddened to hear this news. I don’t know if Charlie has any other siblings, but it’s sad that he is the sole surviving member of the Gap Band. I believe Robert died in 2010.

Aww... May he rest peacefully!
The GAP band is a family favorite for "outside music."

Thanks for the tag, @Rmodelboy ❤️

RIP !!! I was just listening to Outstanding yesterday.He wrote it about his wife.
That is a cookout anthem. To the mainstream, the Gap Band are best known for “You Dropped a Bomb on Me.” I’ve always had an affinity for their ballads and album cuts like “Sweet Caroline,” “Nothin’ Comes to Sleepers,” and “Season’s No Reason to Change.”

Rest in peace Ronnie. The Gap band was one of my favorite 80s funk bands. So sad to hear Charlie is the lone surviving member now.

The Gap Band had bops! My dad was a huge fan back in the day and that how I got hooked on their music. Their music was such a staple at cookouts and family reunions. Such great memories!

Outstanding

You dropped a bomb on me

Oh no...RIP Ronnie. Outstanding is one of my favorites from The Gap Band. May his transition be smooth.
