You Dropped a Bomb on Me by The Gap Band - Songfacts

The Gap Band were originally known as the Greenwood, Archer and Pine Street Band in 1967, in their hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma. They eventually settled on the shorter name, and as a band comprised of three brothers, were marketed as an R&B version of the Bee Gees.

The Wilson brothers' hometown of Tulsa is also the site of the worst race riot in United States history, which happened May 31, 1921. The riot had its flashpoint at the Drexel Building at 319 South Main Street, when a young white girl claimed that a young black man had assaulted her in the elevator. Previous to this time, because it was one of the wealthiest black communities in America, it was known as "the black Wall Street."
