Tonight's Entertainment: Charlie Wilson
9:00 p.m.-Midnight
ICCLOS – Sagamore Ballroom

Don't miss a great show featuring Grammy-nominated Charlie Wilson. From his breakout as a member of the Gap Band ("You Dropped A Bomb On Me," "Outstanding") in the ‘80s to his revered solo recordings (2005’s certified gold Charlie, Last Name Wilson, 2009’s Grammy nominated Uncle Charlie) and his latest 2010 release Just Charlie), Charlie Wilson has sold millions of albums, inspired a throng of artists who modeled their vocal styling's after his (most notably Aaron Hall and R. Kelly) and cemented his status as a musical icon with accolades from Billboard and BET, among a host of others.

Wilson was recently honored with two 2012 Grammy nominations for his chart-topping single, "You Are," Best R&B Song and Best R&B Performance. "You Are" was the first single from Wilson’s critically-acclaimed CD, Just Charlie and dominated Billboard’s Urban Adult Contemporary chart remaining at #1 for 13 consecutive weeks. In 2010, Wilson also received two Grammy nominations for Best R&B Album, Uncle Charlie, and Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for his hit single, "There Goes My Baby."
