"Keep your spirit high and your heart in love" I love everything that KOOL & the gang have done. Was an 80s kid excited when a new single was out. Still good in 2022 you just gotta dance!🕺💃
une des merveilles de KOOL AND THE GANG, datant de 1983 ou 4, avec la voix reconnaissable entre toutes de James J T Taylor, ce n'était plus la même chose une fois qu'il a voulu faire une carrière solo... Mon groupe préféré, tout simplement, à jamais dans mon coeur, toujours le même plaisir 40 ans après!! The GOAT!!
I hear this and I get such a poignant burst of nostalgia...makes me cry. The superb base player and beautiful melody....just takes me back to when I was aged 20... life was a mix; of dressing to the ' new romantic' nines for all day discos - with no worries in my world - and the promise of a fantastic adventure still ahead of me. I never had a broken heart or gave one, still had all my loved ones round me and I was the happiest I have ever been in my life. Wish I could go back and live every precious moment of those years again. We who were having the time of our young lives in the eighties were surely the luckiest of all.
You and millions more hun cos uk is just grey and boring now. Too many restrictions to have fun and enjoy life as it was. Uk is a grey toilet full of shit now. Back then to me it seemed like the mardi gras and notting hill carnival every day. Even the weather was better
These depressed times today are due the 2030 agenda message,killing all efforts a joys to get everything!! La maldita agenda 2030,que mata toda libertad e ilusión de mejorar.
JT and his voice delivers the greatest message Kool and the Gang have ever delivered "Keep the spirit high and your heart in love" A classic song that deserved so so much more. God Bless
Precioso tema 😉😍 que nostalgia siento de aquellos años, me apasiona la voc de Taylor 😚 En el año 1984 fue cuando la escuché en la discoteca 🕺 era una emoción escuchar las voces de los coros de la banda de Kool & cam, y cómo no.. Taylor!! Cuando estoy un poco depre siempre escucho las canciones de la banda de Taylor, bailo y me sube la moral 🤗🤭
The most talented songs are those that are written in a sad key but still uplifting. It gives depth, resonance, multiple worlds. This song is both tragic and uplifting all at once, it’s omnipresent. My mother showed me this piece and it’s inspired me ever since. I have a huge vinyl collection and musical knowledge and I had no idea of this amazing piece. I adore it.
@@sebastianwelcome2080it’s written in a minor key, those are usually considered sad keys. A lot of MJs was written in Minor too, a lot of Soul like Four Tops etc
Thank you for sharing this song! I used to play "Straight Ahead" multiple times a day, and drove my roommate crazy! Sorry guy, but I loved this song so much! (and still do). It got me through the day, so I'd be able to work and keep paying the rent! haha Love to Kool & the Gang forever! :-D
Kool and the gang,pedazo de grupo .Esto es una pequeña maravilla ,inolvidable y que nunca pasará de moda Hacía tanto que no lo oía,me vienen a mi mente recuerdos de cuando era niño.
KOOL AND "THE BEAUTIFUL" GANG😜!!!!!!! Quel Groupe Magnifique! Excellents Musiciens et une Vraie réfèrence en matière the FUNK!!!! Koole and The Gang et Earth Wind And Fire, mes deux groupes préfèrés...juste aprés Monsieur Stevie Wonder, bien sûre🤗!!!! I Love You James and Get down and it🥰 SandrineDenizot🐾
Good message in these times of message(2030) of discouragement and little effort for everything!! I started to listen to this song since 1983 as a stimulus in my medicine study in Peru. Now I am a surgeon in UK!!
Une de mes préférées avec steppin out et cherish; un des groupes de mon enfance assez lointaine, mais ça c'était de la musique ça vendait du rêve, il y avait une ambiance!!
Omg I danced to this in the disco I'm right back there wearing my short white fringe dress and white fringe cowboy boots and my headband f f f fashion 🤣🤣🤣
I love this song. I heard this for the first time when I was 15 years old. And now it takes me back to that time. When I fell in love with so many girls.
Tube funky boogie une bombe classic de la funky année 80
Très bon morceau d un groupe que j ai beaucoup aime
Best song ever from; Kool & the Gang !!! Every time, i hear this song; i want to dance like crazy !!!
Loving greetings from Belgium !!!
Straight a head. I still dance, let's go. Rip Mr Quincy Jones best music ever. Missed. Xxxxx

Beautifully worded my friend.
Lovely sentiment best times x

La maldita agenda 2030,que mata toda libertad e ilusión de mejorar.
This came on the radio today. I was up and dancing!! Gotta get these 53yr old bones groovin'
You have the same bones since you were born? 😂
Funk, Walkman et bmx, que la vie était douce, merci a dieu d'avoir connu cette période même si ce fut trop court 😥
What a band, great musicians and this was an under rated masterpiece.
This song just makes me happy
What an underrated song. Just brilliant
I love this song❤
Fully agree, but my favourite Kool and the Gang song is 'Take it to the Top'.
I got given this song by a girlfriend in late 83 still play it nearly every day great great memories and life was amazing then!
I just love Kool & the Gang,so easy to listen to,we need more disco/funk these days.
Back then, when music was music!!!! Absolute classic song, so uplifting!!! Thanks for the memories
Hip Hop is not Run DMC or Hammer anymore--its definitely not Classic R &B! Great post.
We were so funky in the 80s!
JT and his voice delivers the greatest message Kool and the Gang have ever delivered
"Keep the spirit high and your heart in love" A classic song that deserved so so much more. God Bless

Best song of the world
やっと見つけた。ありがとう。この曲のタイトルを、何年も何年も思い出せずにいた。
j aime trop cette chanson. Elle me donne la pêche. Elle me donne l envie de bouger de me surpasser juste magique
Bonjour, oui moi aussi tout pareil !! Kool and the gang, James Taylor la CLASSE!!!

Great post. I said the same sort of thing recently but not as well as you have put it.
I always thought of this, cannot agree with you more! Very well put. That’s my favorite genre of songs. I love BeeGees too for the same reason
what do you mean in a sad key
@@sebastianwelcome2080it’s written in a minor key, those are usually considered sad keys. A lot of MJs was written in Minor too, a lot of Soul like Four Tops etc
@@ajs41thank you!
Everything about this song is absolutely perfect. This beautiful composition really touches certain places in ways that are difficult to describe.
Excellent. J adorais ce groupe ! 💖💖💖💖
On of the most uplifting songs ever and definitely one of my favourites

Love it. Always did. Got airplay today on BBC 2 radio. Sang it all the way to my daughter's school drop off 💃💃
2022 et je l'ecouterai toujours. Magnifique
Gorgeous song, and as many others have already said, very uplifting.
The world had a different atmosphere back then , i miss those days !
Me too ❤️
The atmosphere was the threat of nuclear annihilation.
NYC in the 80's that was great
@@osbone0076 so was Scotland sweetie
Absolutely, feel the same
Kool And The Gang
"Straight Ahead"
In The Heart
De-Lite Records, 1984

Pedazo de tema.....por la CSM!!! Lo vine a conocer en los 90's....Wenisimo! Facilmente me voy a la tumba con este tema! Gracias por compartir!
A truly beautiful, uplifting song. This should have been a much bigger hit than it was...
"Keep your head up high
And your heart in love..."
UK number 15 in January 1984,so it didn't fare badly here.
It's my favorite, the best, just love it!
I agree 100%
My favourite song
Listen every day
Cast one television while doing workouts
🎶 Keep the spirit high and your heart in love 🎶
My favorite from them since I was in the 7th grade 1984.
Great tune which you can sing along to. Still better than anything 2019 has to offer in the way of music..
This song makes everyone happy! Love it.
The beautiful JT and the equally beautiful Starleana .. aka Mrs Taylor 💞💞💞
I love this song ❤️
Takes me back to the good times, what a tune 😀
With you there dsrlin
That time the seventies and eighties is made the best music ever. Now 67 then 18.
Well that was 6 decades ago when it WAS the 60's
Excelent song! Love Kool and the Gang ❤❤❤❤
Good message in these times of message(2030) of discouragement and little effort for everything!!
I started to listen to this song since 1983 as a stimulus in my medicine study in Peru.
Now I am a surgeon in UK!!
Nostalgia ! Great music of yesteryears
One of the lesser lnown songs this but along with fresh my favourotes fantastic band all feel food songs

Assez d accord

Love this great nuanced song. Michael Jackson could have learned lessons from this cool guy on how to just enjoy life, and celebrate in music.
Kool & the gang the best!!!
It always lifts me up and makes me feel good when I hear this, love the good old classic music I think it's cool
Always loved this song! Kool and the gangs best song!
