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

4.0 out of 5 stars good stuff overall, October 20, 2011
This review is from: Ultimate Collection (Audio CD)
now the 69-76 Kool and the gang had some serious grooving and playing and they had cuts, but the late 70's to mid 80's era with James JT Taylor got a balance where his voice stood out and they had cuts that worked. too hot is still a cold joint to this day. celebration was played like there was no tommorow,however it helped give them a 2nd career as hit makers. get down on it had a cold bass groove to it. this is a good overview of there late 70's to mid 80's peak and Prime re emerging.

they always had good strong production and catchy songs. "ladies Night" is still cold. very good overview here.
