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

5.0 out of 5 stars NEED TO RELEASE THIS AND SPIRIT OF THE BOOGIE, October 21, 2010
This review is from: Kool & The Gang (Audio CD)
YOU KNOW I FIND IT TO BE SO DISCOURAGING AND JUST PLAIN AGGRIVATING WHEN YOU HAVE CLASSIC ALBUMS SUCH AS KOOL AND THE GANG'S DEBUT ALBUM AND SPIRIT OF THE BOOGIE AND THEY ARE NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE TO PURCHASE IN STORES OR ONLINE. I'VE BEEN A BIG OF THEIR MUSIC FOR A LONG TIME AND I THINK IT'S A SHAME THAT THESE ALBUMS AND COUNTLESS OTHER ALBUMS AREN'T AVAILABLE TO PUBLIC AS WE MAY WANT THEM TO BE. MAYBE IN TIME AND WITH OTHER PEOPLE SUCH AS MYSELF MAKING ENOUGH REQUESTS, HOPEFULLY THESE "TREASURES" WILL ONE DAY BE AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE. PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING AND RELEASE THESE ALBUMS. WE ARE BEING DEPRIVED SUCH GREAT MUSIC.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Beginning, March 20, 2010
By 
Jarvis Jones Jr. (Richmond, Virginia United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Kool & The Gang (Audio CD)
Great album from start to finish. If you are into jazz, funk, soul, rock, or anything that has real people playing real instruments this is required listening. Unfortunately this cd is out of print, but the wait for a used copy of your own is definitely worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Funkiest Albums Ever!!!, June 15, 2007
This review is from: Kool & The Gang (Audio CD)
Let me cut to the chase. This is one of the funkiest albums EVER!!! I grew up in the 80's listening to Kool and the Gang hits "Joanna", "Cherish" and "Celebrate". I had no clue about their earliest works. When I heard this album, I was quite simply blown away. 9 instrumentals (the CD has an extra song in "Let the Music Take Your Mind"), and all of them are crazy funky. This is a funk and hip hop lovers dream. Just about every song on here has been sampled, and this is a showcase of jazz and funk. If you grew up thinking all Kool and the Gang music was like "Joanna", you have no idea what you're missing. You have to check this album out. If you ever met me, you would definitely thank me for recommending this album.
