Gap Band V- Jammin' is the seventh album (contrary to the title) by the Gap Band, released in 1983 on Total Experience Records.[3] The album was reissued on CD in 1997 by Mercury Records. In 2009, the album was remastered by PTG Records.
The album reached #2 on the Black Albums chart and #28 on the Pop Albums chart. The album produced the singles "Party Train" (#3 R&B) and "Jam the Motha'" (#16 R&B). Other less successful singles include "Shake A Leg", "I'm Ready (If You're Ready)" (which were both released as remixes); and the UK-only singles "Jammin' In America" and "Someday". To date, it is the Gap Band's last gold album.
