Love the song of course. But what’s amazing to me is the group choreography all going on with the musical performance. One of my absolute favorite videos.
I'm a white guy too. 46 now. I love these tunes from Kool and the Gang. Color should have nothing to do with it. This is good music. I love the guitar. Misled was another of my favs. I'm right there with you antonio.
Charlene Johnson. Color ain't nothing but skin. Like MLK said , and I am old enough to have heard it live, " it's not the color of one's skin but the strength of one's character"
I’m 59 and was more of a AC/DC, Scorpions, Aerosmith heavy metal loving guy. But Kool and the Gang, Earth Wind and Fire, all these songs…… Loved them, they just get your soul humming! I remember soul train and all the disco songs, the best!
@@CMVasquez8812 At my last check of wikipedia he's still alive. I checked because I'm going to their February concert and was curious as to the band makeup.
That is so cool, its good to experience all genres of music. During the 80's I listened to Whitesnake, Motley Crue, RATT, Def Leppard, and Van Halen. I also listened to Hall & Oates, Kool and the Gang, DeBarge, New Edition. The guitar work on K&TG song Misled is cool too.
RIP to the co founder of Kool & The Gang, Ronald Bell. They gave us the best dancing, romantic and rockin’ music. I love the guitar in this one. I miss this music so much, thanks RUclips!

I think George and Kool are the only members of the classic line up left. JT does not perform in the group anymore. I love playing and singing their music at home on my arranger keyboard.
Kool & The Gang . Greatest ever!!!!! They are in rhythm in all there songs. James T. Taylor makes Kool & The Gang . Something is wrong if you dislike this great music. Greatest!!!!
Because corporations pick what they think will sell. Used to get paid to sit in groups and pick out songs liked best. They would play those songs over and over, till our favorites became hated.
By far, their best song! I watch it about once a year or more. I think it has one of the best basslines and chord progressions of all of their songs. The whole thing is tight!
I agree. It’s got that tight rock funk sound to it. Michael Jackson and even Gap Band did sounds like this during that period. That’s why they all managed to have crossover appeal.
Ridiculous how great they were! JT was magic. I’m now a 77 year old ragin caucasian and I would love to have been singing with them instead of being around bigots for 70’years.
Man, this is my FAVORITE Kool and the Gang song! I just can't stop listening to it. And I love how the boys groove to it, dance to it with so much energy! Go Kool and the Gang Go!!!
This is my favorite song too. The lead singer has a great voice. He could have had a solo career. He started singing as a teenager. I love the dance moves in this video. I watch It a lot.
..THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT,the greatest!, in my heart ..."The greatest song Kool and The Gang"...has ever made,composed and sung...This song when u hear it is so fresh when you hear it today, they were so ahead of there time when this song ever came out. God Bless Tonight and God Bless 'Kool and The Gang"...without a f*&kin doubt!,man!!!!!!!!
Congratulations to Kool and the Gang on 55 years of success and great music. They have sold more than 80 million albums. This is one of my personal favorites Thank you gentlemen
This is an example what the entertainment industry shoul provide you with...pure talent, singing and dancing...to put it short - the whole package. Sad to see that today's industry doesn't provide the whole package.
I remember this song and I loved this song I was 14 and I remember hearing it on the radio and I probably watched it on videos back then LOL but yes one of my favorites I love to Kool & the gang always have always will can't believe it's been so many years I feel so old.
This should be a dance challenge 🤣 Tonight the light is shining bright 😁JT with his headband on awww man...the light from the Lord is shining on so many of us and it's Beautiful...welp stay Strong and know that the Lord is always with and fighting for you.. especially before he's about to Bless you😌 Kool and the Gang🔥 Great Music 🔥
I love their dance moves! You don't see that anymore ! The 80s would have been nothing without Kool and the Gang .... I miss it so much ! Take me back ...... ❤
This song is just epic!!! I'm more into rock than dance music but this rocks from start to finish. Everything is tight here, the dance moves, the harmonies, the guitar solo and when you think it can't get any better... 2:10 boom!!! Awesome!!!
This song goes down as the best song ever that people never hear or knew about. I was 15 when I first discovered this song. So much soul and groove. The girl they sing about must be smoking hot! I hope you are enjoying this song tonight. Ooh!
Dont let the brilliance of the song overlook that dance choreography. Nice work, as always, James T & band. Thank you for giving us the best era in music
I just adore this group. So rhythmic. Vocally, musically.' Iadies night' has to be my favourite. Everyone on the dance floor to Kool and the gang. 🎤 🕺 x
I remember growing up listening to these guys. Good music. ❤
James T. Taylor One the best voices of all time 🔝🔝🔝👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Some mighty fine guitar licks in this tune.
This performance always puts me in a good mood. They were 🔥
The young music generation needs to watch this and Learn.🤣😂
Right on
Kool & The Gang let the pop world listen to this gem of this pop/rock song four decades ago. It never fades!
Not one of their bigger hits which it should have been but never the less a banger, the 80s wil never be equaled.
Celebrate seems to me to be their universal hit. but they had so many absolutely great offerings.
What !?!? It was a hit !!! Constantly on the radio when I was kid in the 80's.
@@larryhurley2314 Yes it got alot of air play but wasn't a high chart topper on the Billboard Hot 100..
@@cathleanjohnson675 this reached #13 on the Hot 100, still an impressive feat & one of their big hits.
Love the song of course. But what’s amazing to me is the group choreography all going on with the musical performance. One of my absolute favorite videos.
I'm a 45 year old white man and if you don't like "Kool" there's something wrong with ya. JT Taylor is bad ass!!!!
👍👍👍👍
Platecrumb,WTF is that suppose to mean? It doesn't matter what race you are, everyone loves Kool and the Gang!!
I'm a white guy too. 46 now. I love these tunes from Kool and the Gang. Color should have nothing to do with it. This is good music. I love the guitar. Misled was another of my favs. I'm right there with you antonio.

I'm white too ! and i love it ! my dear white brother !
67 years old and still listen to these guys. They were great artists, not like today's crap
40 years later/1984, this classic still, ROCKS.
I'm a 57 yr old Gen Xer , big bearded Santa Claus looking dude , let me Tell You Kool and the Gang are still on Fire to Me. "Tonight " is my Jam!!!!
I’m 59 and was more of a AC/DC, Scorpions, Aerosmith heavy metal loving guy. But Kool and the Gang, Earth Wind and Fire, all these songs…… Loved them, they just get your soul humming! I remember soul train and all the disco songs, the best!
This song is one of the reasons I'll never forget the 1980's.
❤❤❤❤❤l the 8o
❤❤❤❤❤l the 80's too,and I grew up in it. 💛💙💞😊😊😊😊
The 70's & 80's the best ever for music!
Kool & the Gang came out in the early seventies
WE HAD THE BEST MUSIC IN THE 80'S! WE WERE SO LUCKY!!
We had the best everything in the 80s
@Anita, absofreakin' lutely. Nothing touches it. Heard this on SXM and will admit I had forgotten this one. So good to hear it again.
Very true. Most of the stuff from the 90s was pretty cool too
Hi Anita,hope you’re okay ?
👍🎵🎼
This song never gets old
This man has one of the most beautiful voices on earth. And no one can sing these songs like he does. James JT Taylor you are a legend.
sure is...nobody can sing like j.t
@@michaelgustafson2454 I heard he passed...😭is it true???.I love him....his voice since JHS❤🙏😞
J.T was so talented...
He Had A Golden Voice & he never recieved the recognition he deserved
@@CMVasquez8812 At my last check of wikipedia he's still alive. I checked because I'm going to their February concert and was curious as to the band makeup.
So much talent for sure!
I am a 80s heavy metal fan at heart. I was also a K&TG fan and this song here rocks. The guitar work is bad ass.
That is so cool, its good to experience all genres of music. During the 80's I listened to Whitesnake, Motley Crue, RATT, Def Leppard, and Van Halen. I also listened to Hall & Oates, Kool and the Gang, DeBarge, New Edition. The guitar work on K&TG song Misled is cool too.
Rockfan here and yes...the guitar is just as good as the best rock guitar.
The BASS is also
That bass always killed it.
Sounds like they took a hint from toto:s playbook back then.
This was my group back in the 80s, Congratulations to them being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, long overdue ❤
The 70s
Agreed and yeah I used to listen to them in the 80s
RIP to the co founder of Kool & The Gang, Ronald Bell. They gave us the best dancing, romantic and rockin’ music. I love the guitar in this one. I miss this music so much, thanks RUclips!

What ????...😭😭😭😭Rip my teen idol
This song could last 20 minutes and it still wouldn't be enough.
I quite agree with you!
Really. I bought it on 45rpm in 83
I've played it back.2.back2....
way over 20 minutes & it still wasn't enough
@@cm37177
Me too!
I don't think any group can ever top this music as Kool and the Gang performed. They were a one of a kind!
You are not wrong, but all the great songs and bands have that sound that extends beyond them and us , forever.
Thank you 80s, always great.
Kool & The Gang . Greatest ever!!!!! They are in rhythm in all there songs. James T. Taylor makes Kool & The Gang .
Something is wrong if you dislike this great music. Greatest!!!!
This has got to be one of their BEST SONGS from the 80's! You don't hardly ever hear this song on the radio anymore!
Facts, its celebration sometimes ladies night but little else. These guys had tons of hits that all deserve airplay
One of the best songs from the entire decade. If you don't like that guitar solo, you don't like real music. Jam on.
I like the song. But the dance. On stage kind of silly. My opinion
Oh....so Kool
@@michaelmaricle2432
for once a group of boys is doing a choreography...
You have to be lenient 😄😉
Perfect blend of rock , soul and funk!
NOW THIS GANG IS REALLY KOOL
Killer guitar solo!
I could listen to this all day!!!!!!
Me too
@@rosalesbyron9011 , 🎧🎼🎵🎶🎤🎹🎻 , 📢🎸🎸📢⬆
And all night.
Me too where did real music go
Oohh babyyy y'll see the light I wanna dance all night...
I would have given anything to see them in concert back in the day. I still love them
I got the Delorean gassed up & I'll be right over to pick you up! I saw them twice in Nashville, & they rocked! 😁
Never gets old, a true classic! 👋👋👋👋
Si gracias
Why can't music be like this today???
wow, JT was hot!
Because corporations pick what they think will sell. Used to get paid to sit in groups and pick out songs liked best. They would play those songs over and over, till our favorites became hated.
This is another band that I have in my oldies collection....OH The memories!!!!!!
J T was the man beautiful awesome voice
By far, their best song! I watch it about once a year or more. I think it has one of the best basslines and chord progressions of all of their songs. The whole thing is tight!
My favorite is summer madness
I agree. It’s got that tight rock funk sound to it. Michael Jackson and even Gap Band did sounds like this during that period. That’s why they all managed to have crossover appeal.
Not even close to their best song
I agree. "Tonight" i's my favorite song...with "Ladies night", of course 😃❤
Misled definitely still hits in 2023
One of THE best voices 👌 ❤️ EVER
Their music literally had everything!
"The voice" is James JT Taylor. He is simply the best.
I thought the 'Spinners had a good lead , too. and another group "Father was a rolling stone"...."
NOW THIS IS TALENT
Tonight you will finally see the light ...
Damn, JT was sooo good looking! This song will NEVER get old !
I got to hear them perform this live as a kid. OMG they sound even better live.
Ridiculous how great they were! JT was magic. I’m now a 77 year old ragin caucasian and I would love to have been singing with them instead of being around bigots for 70’years.
I'm 64. And they are the bomb 💣❤
I'm now 65 and still love these guys ❤
Definitely the "heaviest" Kool & The Gang song; its straight-up rock!
John L yeap
to me it's "misled", but this one is hot too
John L Don’t forget “Emergency”
John L Irie !
has anyone noticed almost all songs back in the day had a guitar solo...and an epic solo at that!
The driving force of this piece is that great bass line!
Miguel Mory absolutely
Miguel Mory strongly agree. The bass as fantastic.
Kool could tear that thing up.
Plus those power cords from guitar all comes together for one hell of a rock funk track.
Majestic music and song 💕
The guitar solo is bad azz..great song too 😎👍
Man, this is my FAVORITE Kool and the Gang song! I just can't stop listening to it. And I love how the boys groove to it, dance to it with so much energy! Go Kool and the Gang Go!!!
This is my second favorite by them. My favorite kool and the gang song is Mislead
While Celebration, Joanna and Fresh are great...nobody plays all of these other GREAT SONGS!
This is my favorite song too. The lead singer has a great voice. He could have had a solo career. He started singing as a teenager. I love the dance moves in this video. I watch It a lot.
My favorite is Summer Madness
Totally
Great chemistry and sound
One of the most Supreme singers, of the seventies and eighties, They make me feel young again, great dance music!!😊😊😊❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
I never get tired of listening to this song.
My God! Kool was simply Kool! Wish y’all could have seen it….’tonight you will finally see the light’! Very special youngins.❤❤❤
These guys straight up KILLED it!!!
freshlove1 ....YES ❤❤❤❤
Oh yeah me and my Dad Russell The Muscles Jam back in 1985 on the way to his softrbal games. Rip to the worlds greatest Dad. ✝️💪🎶🎵
I love it. A danceable song with a real guitar solo in it. Sadly that'll probably never happen again.
Wow...never...
Thank you JT and all the guys for excellent music and choreography! Legendary! Musician/Artist USA- ThomMeinert
Podem falar o que quiser mas a década de 80 é muito foda, adoro essa música!!!
kkkkkkkkkkkkk
This is black music not circus music

I love this group ! One of my favorite song is Mislead ❤
He always had that voice that went so well with this band!!! Thanks for all those awesome songs you belted out...Such great memories even till today.
I love that falsetto Harmony part " Tonight, you'll finally see the light."

Waisting your money to go to show for this band
That's what I call talent! Dance moves, instrument mastering and the voices.
Very true. Those days are over.
Makes you wanna get up and dance......great rhythm and bassline

1984 was my fave year in music. Tonight/Misled both contributed alot to that! 🤘
The music I grew up upon... How time flies..the silky voice of JT Taylor is ear-candy. Kool& The Gang will live forever. 🙏🌷👋🍀❤️
O Kool & The Gang já era bom, mas com a chegada do JT Taylor ficou extraordinário. ❤

Des guitares 🎸 bien rock dans le style funk du groupe.
Superbe mélange qu'ils auraient pu développer dans d'autres chansons
Kudos to all the performers, what a killer guitar solo !

Que musica espetácular...
Kool and Gang é o melhor dos melhores é um diamente 💎 no mundo das pedras preciosas!!
Loved this song. I think this group was trying to reinvent itself in 84.
Kool on bass and Claydes Charles Smith (RIP) on guitar = top notch! J.T. vocals real smooth.
Omg. The way JT moves. I’m falling in love with him all over again!!!
Claps your hands 😳😳 monster killer assassin live funk 80's group anthology 😳
This song goes down as the best song ever that people never hear or knew about. I was 15 when I first discovered this song. So much soul and groove. The girl they sing about must be smoking hot! I hope you are enjoying this song tonight. Ooh!
The guitar work is amazing
The greatest funk band ever to me.
Dont let the brilliance of the song overlook that dance choreography. Nice work, as always, James T & band. Thank you for giving us the best era in music
One of the most rocking funky tracks there was. Brilliant.
Esse vocalista faz meu coração bater mais forte❤❤❤lindo lindo lindo
Existe o Kool & The Gang antes e depois do JT Taylor.
Ele é fera demais. ❤
I saw them for the first time at Disney world bk inlike 78. I was mesmerized by J T he is incredible!!❤🧡💛💙💚💜💖
When I first heard this song I was surprised they put a rock edge to it It was outside their comfort zone
As a 60 something yr old, if you dont like Kool and the Gang, you ain't white🤣👍🔥👏
Okay bro
Just turned 69 on June 4. Gonna see them with En Vogue on Sunday in Lenox, Mass. YEAH BAYBEE🎉🎉
BOL!
