@@anthonytaylor7928 After their appearance here, their career started to fall before signing with Brazilian musician/producerDeodato who produced Ladies Night in 1979 which contained Ladies Night &Too Hot which both made it to #5 on the Disco charts. Next was Celebrate which was described as penthouse suite disco and also charted, so there. 😛
Finally being inducted into the Rock and Roll HOF. It's sad that we've lost all the core members with the exception of Kool. Rest in peace to them all ❤
Love that they are finally being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year 👏🏾👏🏾. Robert is the only living member of the original group. I really hope JT Taylor is with him wjen accepting the award.
I’ve always felt this is maybe the all time greatest “funk” song. Parliament had some classic funk pieces too, but this jam just hits the inter-planetary funksmanship vibe the most for me. 😂
Congrats finally on this band's induction into the Rock and Roll Hame of Fame. Great music that we don't hear nowadays. Will be watching the induction this Saturday!!
Puras obras maestras produjo esta impresionante banda. Cuando la música se interpretaba de manera natural y perfecta, no como el horripilante ruido de hoy en día. Saludos y bendiciones desde el bello Cancún 🇲🇽🌴🐠🌊🌞
First time hearing this was at the roller rink in fort myers Florida. Back then we had one AM pop music and one country radio station, we were not exposed to most of the funk music. Moved to Tallahassee in 1980 and discovered WANM am radio and discovered all that I had missed as a teenager! My skating days are all but behind me now I do on occasion take my grandchildren to the rink but the music is not the same.
Jersey City's best Kool and the Gang, I know the Bell brother's ,from Downtown jersey city Dennis on the sax who just passed away last yr, RIP to those who are no longer with us
Kool was ultimate Cool, and as far as “gangs” go today’s youth could learn a thing or two on how to truly represent. What great vibes, what a great era. Screw Rap, I’ll take funk any day.
I remember my mother giving me the $2 that I worked my butt off for to see them at the Uptown Theater in Philadelphia. I was mesmerized. I still remember Johnny O from WDAS calling Kool to the egde of stage to say hello. They closed with a tune called; Kool & The Gang. 🎉
They are certainly fantastic here, it's kinda like Chicago in the Terry Kath era, they were leaders in their musical style and cashed in, in the 80s. Not a perfect comparison but songs like "Tonight" and "Fresh" seem like walks in the park compared to this sorta funk.
@@JohnSmith-op1tc When I heard The Force album I couldn't believe how bad it was. That's when they lost me. Didn't like any 80's songs except Raindrops because Chucki did it. It would have been a hit but had a terrible mix
One of the best funk/disco bands ever! You can’t stand still listening to them! 🎉 🤩💃😎💜
Shake it, don't break it!
@@brötzmannsax 😂 Will do... I mean, I won't do? 🤣 💃
Name one disco song they made? Name one?
@@anthonytaylor7928 Open Sesame. It's on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack.

Loved it. I can't leave without saying something about Summer Madness being one of the great instrumentals ever.
even back then in the mid 70's. those brothers were MASTER musicians.
REAL MUSIC WITH REAL MUSICIANS AND SINGERS!!!!!

They should have been inducted in the R and R HOF a long time ago!
Early Kool and the Gang is the absolute BOMB!

One of my very favorite songs when it came out. ❤❤
The custom suits👌
Are so cool!!!!!
Yes! Where has all the good music gone.....we have this to remember the golden era of good songs!
So precious few live recordings let alone videos of KOOL from the 70s, thank you!!
I just proved to my daughters that I still know every word to this. Haven't heard it it in 40 years! 😅
LOVE IT!! no play on words. They were definitely cool when I was back in high school.
They sure were!!🙌✌️
Nice rhyming.
Great band from one of the best eras of music!
One of The Best Bands EVER! RIP to those members who have gone.
You may be Gone, But Never Forgotten!!

I couldn't define this song in any other way: EPIC!!! ☺☺☺
KOOL AND THE GANG . BEFORE JAMES TAYLOR. FUNK AND JAZZ. 7 DECADES, STILL TOURING. THANK YOU FOR FUNKIN IT UP. HOLLYWOOD SWANGIN . SWANGIN .🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤.
Great performance. Wild And Peaceful is a really good album. Love the jazzy title track.
I forgot all about this song. Thanks I’m really enjoying it.
I still get down to that tune 😊😊😊😊😊
Me too... At this age i caint get back up😂😂
I remember seeing them in concert with KC and the Sunshine Band, Roger/Zapp, Sister Sledge and One Way. 1980.
6 Minutes of more or less one chord that never gets boring or ever loses tension - so great!
congrats on entering the rock & roll hall of fame much deserving !
I had this tune on 45rpm record as a child back in the day😁Always loved this tune👍🏻ROCK ON!!!!!!!🤘🏻🤙🏻✌🏻
You too? I also had the 45rpm record when I was around 10 years old.
Congrats finally on this band's induction into the Rock and Roll Hame of Fame. Great music that we don't hear nowadays. Will be watching the induction this Saturday!!
Loved Kool & The Gang! ❤
I remember when "Celebration" hit the air waves. Best party song there ever was!! 🍾
Happy Sunday 🕊 Thank you for sharing! 💖
That was our senior prom song 😁 Still love it and get up to dance when it comes on!
@@MedusasFeelinSalty It never gets old! 😊
I think I was in the 6th grade when Celebration came out. I made a tape recording of it off the radio so we could listen to it any time we wanted.

Alright!

every time i hear this song. i think of "roll bounce". underrated film.
What an album
The original masters
Enjoying Pasquale's Pizza and garlic cheese bread while playing this on the jukebox on Panama City Beach.!.!.
How curious! I DJ'd this song last night and a few hours later you publish this. Nice! xD

A picture from this performance was used on the gatefold of their 1974 album, Light of Worlds.
Time was merciful to fellow Kool🤣🤣
That’s music!
I finally know why my mom has been saying HOLLYWOOOOD 😆
Cause she's KOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Dope Solid
On the eve of my fourth birthday. Still have the tux
From the brilliant Wild & peaceful album. Before they drove off a cliff with Ladies Night, Celebration, Too Hot & Joanna.
Love 💕😘❤ this song and the band
Thank you 😊🙏🏾
Great stuff!
No auto tune here!

Grooving and those horns! Glorious!
San Andreas top jam!
The Funktopus and Bounce FM
Funk used to be a four letter word (G. Clinton). Great swinging perfomance from the Gang
Wonderful ❤
Gotta be the best video on the net
Would give anything to have been in that room!
Still the best!!❤❤
Absolutely 👍🏾
Nice. And that, boys and girls, is the way. It's. Done.
K&G's genius era 1969 - 1976
