Gene began to play the drums from the age of four although his first job was in a music store.

While still at school he met Earl Klugh with whom he formed a group.

By the mid-70's Gene was playing drums for Earl professionally, Earl also helping to secure Gene a solo recording deal with Capitol in the early 80's.

His three albums were 'It's Just The Way I Feel' (1981), including 'Before You Break My Heart' (ably assisted vocally by the Ridgeway Sisters), 'Party In Me' (1982) and 'Tired Of Being A Nice Guy' (1983) including the excellent 'Take Back My Love'.

He also played drums with Roy Ayers on 'Don't Stop The Feeling'.

In 1994, he released 'Groove with You', credited to the Gene Dunlap Band, on Avenue Jazz Records, but shortly after gave up performing to teach inner city youth in Detroit.

In April 2000, he returned with his second Avenue Jazz album, 'Tales of the Phatman'.

My lady and I living on the northside of Chicago at the time were listening to music early one morning. I am a musician as well and have a very eclectic taste in music. We were listening to everything from Gladys Knight, Chick Corea, Miles Davis, Brenda and the Tabulations, Billy Cobham, Chaka Khan and Gene Dunlap. I remember her asking for me to BBQ something early that morning, had to be 1:00am, so I did. We didin't have a grill but they were building something at our complex and had these big house bricks. I got a few of them and took the grill from our oven and there it was. We sat there on the porch of the building listening to music until sunrise and I recall this song which we both loved. The total sound of it the arrangment, the vocal tones, and the musicainship of yourself and the other players. It stood out in those early morning hours and became one of the priceless moments of our life. That song playing in the background. Thank you brother Dunlap your music did and does do a lot for priceless moments like that. Peace

Gene! You are absolutely amazing! You have a gift and you are talented you are winning in every way imaginable please keep your head up. Trust me I know how you feel. I try to break into the music business so many times singing and I used to feel down about it too. But at least you made it in. Sometimes God creates a different path than all of us but I still whenever I get a chance. ❤️

I was still at school when this came out, I was 17 and heard this on Greg Edwards radio show for Capitol Radio in London.

I still treasure this album to this day! thank you for sharing!

Right now this song has almost 472,500 views and I'm pretty sure at least 100 are mine! Can't believe I just discovered this song a couple of weeks ago when my local jazz station (WCLK Atlanta!) played it. Since then I've listened to it at least 4 times a day, and IT NEVER GETS OLD! That's how you can tell a great song...aside from it being perfectly crafted and produced, the vocals from the Ridgeways (especially the lead Gracie?) are simply amazing. It always confounds me that so many great acts from this era simply did not get the recognition they deserved. I mean think about how many acts (The Weather Girls, 52nd Street, Glenn Jones, etc.) that could sing and perform circles around the likes of so many artists over the last 20 years or so but were never even heard by many people. It's a shame that two of the Ridgeway sisters are gone...they make me think of the Jones Girls, another highly underrated act that has lost two of its members. I know the music business is a brutal one, because it is that- a business. The Ridgeways are just another sad example of the 'business' overshadowing art. So if you see this Mr. Dunlap, thank you and I've ordered my copy of "It's Just the Way That I Feel". It's the least I can do in addition to telling everyone I know that has a deep appreciation of good music about you.

I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it on V-103's Sunday night program,"Classic Chicago" hosted by Jim Raggs back in '92 and just had to seek out a copy of "Its Just The Way I Feel" to call my own.....

Gene Dunlap. Don't ever be discouraged. I'm in the UK and discovered this track only about 10 years ago. It's an underground classic played in Rare Groove sections. Your voice is so unique and amazing. I don't know if you are playing piano on this track but it's a beautiful accompaniment to your voice. Love the solo makes me wish I learned to play. It's at times like this in the pandemic that we need your music the most. Thank you 🙏🏾

I love this song it definatley defines the rare groove sound in the UK. I found it thrown in as a random track on a comp. album many years ago. I just love the piano solo near the end, it sends me...

On Sunday evenings throughout the 80s, young and single; I would listen to this, Brenda Russell and other fine tunes whilst tidying-up my room at my parents home. I was always anxious about the future. But in 87 I brought my own home; the future is now here and I am still listening with pleasure and grateful to my parents.

But I didn't see it coming...... She did break my heart!

Whenever things were bad I would get on lake Shore drive out on BMX with Chilli Childs or La donna Tittle and ride those blues away listening to these jams like this.

Just listening to this masterpiece and I have been a soul connoisseur for over 50 years. Number 52 inRichard Searlings electrifying 80's chart but really placement is immaterial
