The group known as The Gap Band would grow up in the big city of Tulsa, Oklahoma and would form their first band in the year of 1967. The group of brothers would form what was then called the Greenwood, Archer, and Pine Street band, which was supposed to honor a former African American district in the city. This area was known to many as one of the most integral parts of civil rights violence that would be known in the history books as the Tulsa Race Riot.
