Review by Alex Henderson from allmusic.com

When Gap Band III came out in 1980, the Wilson Brothers were widely
regarded as true heavyweights in the funk field. Many funk experts will tell
you that creatively, they were right up there with the likes of Cameo, Rick
James, the Isley Brothers, and the Bar-Kays in the early '80s. Over the years,
The Gap Band III (which was the group's fifth album, not its third) has often
been described as the ultimate Gap Band album -- and it's hard to disagree
with that assertion. Produced by Lonnie Simmons, this exceptional album
boasts three of the Wilson Brothers' biggest radio hits: "Burn Rubber on Me"
(a funk classic), the Parliament-minded "Humpin'," and the quiet storm slow
jam "Yearning for Your Love." But The Gap Band III is also full of gems that
weren't big radio hits, including "Gash Gash Gash" (another funk classic), the
perky, Earth, Wind & Fire-ish "Are You Living" and the ballad "Nothin' Comes
to Sleepers." There isn't a dull moment on The Gap Band III, which is excellent
from start to finish and is essential listening for funk addicts.
