Soul and R&B legend Charlie Wilson delivered a delightful, career-spanning set in the latest installment of NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert series.
Wilson, a host of musicians, and a cadre of backup vocalists squeezed into the NPR offices for the performance, which opened an apt fitting introduction: “Charlie, Last Name Wilson,” the beatific title-track from Wilson’s 2005 album.
After that, Wilson dipped into his deep catalog of classics and performed “Computer Love,” the 1986 single he made with Dayton funk greats Zapp and singer Shirley Murdock. , followed by an emotional rendition of “I’m Blessed” from 2017’s. Leaning into the latter song’s gospel vibes, the tune ended with an extended vamp and Wilson preaching to the “Tiny Desk Church” about about his life and career, his battles with addiction and 28 years of sobriety.
