      I'm a musician myself grew up in the 80's......Kool and the Gang were not my type of music at the time this song came out BUT I still to this day remember where I was when I heard this song for the first time !....Never heard it much after that day either but it made a BIG impression on me...Right now is probably the 3rd or 4th time in my life I've heard this song since that day but I've caught myself humming the chorus ...Well a part of the chorus because I never heard it enough to know the words ....For the last 30 some years now....An absolutely UNDERRATED song .....I haven't been playing music for a while now and have been thinking about putting a little jam band project together and if /when I do I'm going to insist on covering this song ...I'm sure it's been done many many times by hundreds of bands and singers but I'm SHOCKED no notable artists have covered this and made it into a hit again...The original is classic and it's also a song that has crazy potential for a super POWERFUL remake as well !....Just an AMAZING song all around !
