    My younger sister lost her fight to cancer this morning. Listening to this reminds me of when were in our 20s and 30 and we would just hit the road 1 or 2 am with this and the song "Riding High". R.I.P little sister.

    I'm a 61 yr old white woman (who grew up outside of Baltimore) who grew up in the ’70s. “Cool & the Gang” was yes a black band, but so was every “Motown Hit.” My 1st 45 record was “Diana Ross.” We NEVER once used or heard the N-word or gave a shit if you were black or white. We loved ALL the COOL music the black artist played. And we also listened to Led Zeppelin, Stones, Doors, etc.
    This world is a mess right now! Our music influenced us then and unfortunately today. The lyrics & garbage they call music today are sinful!

      not sure what made this a race thing with you. nobody said anything about race. music is music, we all have ears and a want to tickle them with music no matter where the music comes from. black and white and baltimore... shut up with the race shit. its music, music sees no color... only racist people do, so id take a hard look in the mirror next time you go to say something when youre listening to diana ross again. you think she cares who listens to her music? she made it for all to enjoy. liberals made racebaiting to separate us by colors. stupidest ideology ive ever heard. worked on you apparently. seems to work on the weak minded.

      It's not just the music. It was the era a period of time associated with something. You have no idea what this music is really all about and the meaning behind it.....Maybe your age in the era you live in is ignorant. I know music it's not just for the ear. It's for the mind and the soul...........

      You are blind and deaf, young I guess, and naive. I post comments on music videos from around the world. Go to my Blog and read all the comments I make on people's music from every country I know. Sweetie sees I'm a person who listens to music not only with the ear, but the mind and soul because most artists I listen to are not black artists. I don't understand the languages but their music touch, something inside so I leave a comment. Is that simple enough for you? I'm international when it comes to music. I'm Global I love it all............. This is a very fine piece. Why are you listening to it and making comments? You know good music I will give you that much.

    This song came out in 1974. The summer of 1974 was full of summer madness from what I recall. At least for me it was. That was the summer that my family and I moved to another house. We didn't move very far. In fact, we even stayed in the same county where we were living. However, I was just a little kid back then, so that was a big deal to me. This song captures the atmosphere perfectly of what that summer was like for me back in 1974.

Doesn't matter. It's always just so good.

    Funny how a song is so different for so many different people.
    I hear this, I hear myself sitting into a sports car, shutting the door, cranking it up, and coasting down some street lit city streets. Summer at night just going. No destination. Not fast, just cruising. Top down enjoying the warm air outside.
    God I love this song.

      Simeon Banner you must not be from Chi Town!!! It’s where the grown ups get permission by the City to block off the street on both ends so no cars can drive through. Then ALL the neighbors bring out BBQ grills, card tables, food, MUSIC 🎵- usually there is a DJ - and a HUGE JUMPING JACK, BOUNCY HOUSE for the kids & games - maybe entertainment, family friendly- clowns, water balloons, food, drinks, music, fun.... I thought EVERY Neighbrhood had these - Summer parties 🎉 in the street - on your block. Thus the name “Block Party” 😁👍🏽❤️💯

    My all time favorite song in life. No matter the time, day, month or year, it's still all good, period. Family picnics, joyrides with my parents and so many other good memories behind this song. And when they perform it live, they never disappoint. That groove is everything.

    This is one of my all time instrumental tracks, just love the early Jazz fused Kool & The Gang material, before they realised what a Ladies Night can do for you lol, this track has hypnotically eerie led melodies along synthesizer lines, which just oozes quality all the way through, i have never played this once on my deck, always requires a rewind, its Winter Sadness but miss the Summer Madness

    • @Cantbuyathrill
      @Cantbuyathrill 9 лет назад +13

      Hypnotically eerie, wistfully entrancing. So deliciously jazzy, bordering on the existential. Can't believe Summer Madness and Ladies' Night came from the same band, they sound so opposite in feeling.

Ain't grilling yet but it's coming. Can't wait to explode this endless classic through the speakers later on this summer at a cookout.

Kool & the Gang had many hit songs, but they out did themselves with this one here! Just make sure you have 'good speakers' to get the best sound possible. At 0:20 when the bass first falls in, just kills me!!!

Such great memories. Such a timeless masterpiece.
