Biography

Self-styled "scientists of sound", Kool & The Gang developed a bit of a bad name later in their career for their move into cheesy disco and mawkish balladry, but in fact they were skilled jazz musicians whose 70's funk was among the very best of the era.

Formed in New Jersey by Robert "Kool" Bell and his saxophonist brother Ronald, their 1970 debut album, also called Kool & The Gang, has since been… Read more in Amazon's Kool & The Gang Store

1.0 out of 5 stars James JT Taylor not on this CD, June 1, 2003

V. Velasco (San Diego, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Kool & the Gang - Greatest Hits Live [Rhino] (Audio CD)

Do not buy this CD. You will be disappointed. Imagine buying a Beatles Live CD with no Paul McCartney. Imagine a Commodores Live cd with no Lionel Ritchie. Imagine any group without their vocal identity and that's what you get from this cd. I would normally commend Rhino records for releasing rare tracks from artist of days gone by. I feel short changed by this release. It is very misleading that they have a picture with JT Taylor on the cover. Talk about false advertising.

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT THE "REAL" THING, June 21, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Kool & the Gang - Greatest Hits Live [Rhino] (Audio CD)

On face value, I was thrilled to see there was an offering of Kool & the Gang live. On face value, it appears JT is the lead signer from the packaging and the like. Much to my dissapointment, it was recorded while he was not with the group.

It's just not the same without JT on lead, and I was greatly dissapointed at the misrepresentation.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for w/ out JT, January 31, 2000

Chris Becker (Reading, PA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Kool & the Gang - Greatest Hits Live [Rhino] (Audio CD)

This cd is good w/ out JT. In the notes, it has look for one w/ JT in the year 2000. The singer for ''Victory'' ; ''Ladies Night'' Fresh'' and then the couple songs sounds like JT. The other singer for the other songs isn't that great, but if A Fan I would Buy. If not, wait for the JT one to be released.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Bad but JT Is Needed!!!
Kool and The Gang was without a doubt one of the best R&B Bands of the late seventies and eighties. It is nice hearing these old classic dance tunes. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Without JT, the songs just aren't the same.
These Kool & the Gang songs are great, but only when they are sung by lead singer, JT Taylor. When he left the group, they were just not the same. Read more
