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 Before they "Souled Out", they were the Kings of Funk!, May 14, 2005
By 
smoothjazzandmore (Ogdensburg, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Spin Top Hits (Audio CD)
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!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Kool and The Gang Moment, July 12, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Spin Top Hits (Audio CD)
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!
