Charlie Wilson teams up with Gracie’s Corner, the popular, animated sing-along series on YouTube, on “Have a Good Time,” a new single released by the family-run channel Friday morning (June 13). The R&B mainstay sings on Gracie’s dance groove and stars in its music video, launching below.
With a little help from Wilson — aka “Uncle Charlie” — Gracie’s latest song inspires young viewers to get up and move along to the music: “Uncle Charlie says clap your hands! Clap, clap! And do your dance! Uncle Charlie says stomp your feet! Stomp, stomp!”
Kids should catch on the Uncle Charlie’s feature fast, as it’s a reference to the classic childhood game Simon Says.
“Working with Charlie Wilson on ‘Have A Good Time’ has been an absolute dream. His energy and passion for music are contagious, and he brings such a joyful spirit to everything he does. This song is all about celebrating movement, fun, and togetherness — something Uncle Charlie embodies effortlessly. Seeing Gracie and Charlie share the mic is a special moment for families everywhere, and we can’t wait for kids to dance along!” Dr. Javoris Hollingsworth, the real-life Gracie’s dad and co-founder of Gracie’s Corner, tells Billboard Family.
“Have a Good Time” is now available on streaming services including YouTube, Spotify and Apple Music.
Gracie’s Corner is known for positive, fun content like 2024’s viral “Veggie Dance,” the “yum, yum, eat ’em up!” dance number reminding children to eat their asparagus (and broccoli and Brussels sprouts and cauliflower, et al.), and the empowering 2020 breakthrough hit “I Love My Hair.”
The creators behind ‘Gracie’s Corner’: Graceyn “Gracie” Hollingsworth and her parents, Dr. Javoris Hollingsworth and Dr. Arlene Gordon-Hollingsworth.
