Now this is what I remember Kool & the Gang as, a funk based band out of Newark, New Jersey that made r&b hip in the pre-disco days. Classic tracks such as "Jungle Boogie", "Hollywood Swingin'" and "Funky Stuff". My personal favorite is the smooth but soulful "Summer Madness". But after this release, the band would go Top 40 and in my mind lose their soulful edge. But this is a great retrospect of their early work. Check it out and discover the pre-JT age!!

Well, let's see... this is the one you should have in your record collection if you love the real disco-funky sound and you want to have the best dance music in your living room. you got eight minutes of "Open Sesame", the magic and spellbounding "Summer Madness", the powerful and movin' "Hollywood Swingin'" and the sweatin' "Spirit Of The Boogie". With these 10 songs, you don't need no more K&TG stuff like "Celebration" and "Joanna".

You get the point? this CD is the One!
