JT Taylor's voice was TAILOR MADE for this song! "Too Hot" definitely help pave the way for what we now call "Smooth Jazz"
JT was...is fine & so is his voice. I played the threads offa this album in high school.
I'm 58 and have mostly been listening to new music for the past ten years but I love these reaction videos where young people are knocked out by how great the music of my youth was. This one has always been one of my favorites and I think it's Kool and the Gang's best.
You're right - we did have the best MUSIC!!! I'm so glad I was alive when this went down in real time!!!
I'm with you. Late 60's, 70's and early 80's were golden!!! :)
so am i
We were spoiled. When I was a little kid - I just assumed every song on the radio was good. For example - this song was released in 1979. Google "top 100 r&b songs of 1979"......and just look at that list, in all its glory. That was every day. We heard stuff of that quality........every. damn. day. And that was not EVEN the 80's yet - where you had the dueling superstars....MJ and Prince....just killing it. Also the growth of rap/hip-hop. And the beginning of MTV, and BET. Then the balladeers came with the Quiet Storm in the mid to late 80s. And then the 90s. Man, we had it NICE...
Most of us took these great songs for granted. It was just the popular music. There was another cut just as good coming on the radio right after it. If I knew it was going to end I would have payed closer attention, lol. But it's heartwarming to see young bros like you with an ear for what's real. I'm not too proud to say I get a little choked up sometimes when I think of the time these songs represent and how much of it has passed. Damn.
That’s for real, I agree …
Amen
J T vocals won them grammys..they crossed over to pop and were always on the top 40 list... love to Kool and the gang
That bass and the smooth vocals makes this song so great.The bass definitely grabs your attention immediately.
The producer was a white guy from Rio, Eumir Deodato. He got his first break at age 17 (irony) when he arranged and conducted a 28-piece orchestra. He ultimately became one of the city’s most active arrangers and pianists, recording for Milton Nascimento, Elis Regina and Antonio Carlos Jobim. In 1968, Deodato moved to NYC, working with Luiz Bonfa and scoring the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. His reputation was further strengthened by pop arrangements for Frank Sinatra, Roberta Flack and Kool & The Gang. In a rare talk at the 2005 Red Bull Music Academy, Rio’s legendary arranger underlines the importance of
RUN don’t walk. Search ‘Kool and the Gang Too Hot Extended Live’. 9:29
This band just had that ability to easily transition from Smooth Jazz to Funk on a dime. And that's what I loved about them.
I love that you’re exploring all the great R&B groups. Weren’t they amazing? An embarrassment of riches!!!!
This is one of favorite Kool & the Gang tunes. I was afforded the opportunity to see them perform this live and on top of that I had a backstage pass.
played smooth jazz as a joke for my friends and was humbled by this banger 🔥
my era bro when I was a young boy, amazing funk soul music back then
I agree with you! We were definitely spoiled, when it came to music. When I was a kid, every release, was new and fresh.
The album that first featured JT as their lead singer. It changed the "sound" from FUNK to primarily R & B. Another great group that is still kicking today!! Their horns are legendary along with EWF, Tower of Power, Brass Construction.....acoustic sounds were still BAAAAAD!! 1979.....end of the greatest decade of music! If you want to dwell into their earlier work....that greatest hits pic you have with Hollywood Swinging, Jungle Boogie is where you'd start. But one on there....Open Sesame!! THAT is an all-time FUNK groove with horns like no other!!
thats right, its slammin, I was 21yrs old in the navy when this hit the charts. that young and songs like this, was the best time to be young, so smooth
The extended outro is even better.
Check out the longer version.
I remember this song very well. I was about 8 years old when it came out. My Mother, may she rest in peace, used to always play this song. Between my Mother and Father, I grew up listening to Soul, R n' B, Funk, Jazz and Reggae.
MANY years later, I would use this song to describe the temperature outside when some would ask me how hot it was, stating that it was... "Too hot, too hot, Lady... Gotta run for shelter. Gotta run for shade".
One of their best. I met Taylor and it was a cool meeting, autograph, T shirt and I proceeded to insult Peabo Bryson @ the same time, long story.
You have to listen to the WHOLE song!!! This version had the ending cut off. James Taylor really showed his vocal skills at the end.
JT’s voice mixed with Kool and the band is Crazy. JT’s signature voice is iconic! 🙏🏾❤️💐🎤
Monster hit. They were all over the radio and in the club. Love me some Kool & The Gang.
That bass!!!!!
Kool and the gang,Ewf,Isleys,Commodores and Maze are groups that have stood the test of time.
There is a extended version, J.T snaps at the end with the ad-libs !!!!!
Check out these jams by Kool And The Gang “Cherish”, “Misled”, “Jones vs. Jones”, “Tonight” and “Emergency”
You playing The Very Best of Kool & the Gang. It's all good. 👍
There were plenty of extended versions of songs in the 70s.
And YES there is the extended version of this song on youtube.
Singin like butta. JJ, I saw a free concert from this dude? His voice was perfect. He sang all the hits.
Yup. Such a great song.
My favorite song from Kool and the Gang, along with Summer Madness
Wow great to hear this track again from my school days many decades ago this old sound ouch lovely vocals and the musicians here is so good pleased you liked this
That beat at the start sounds like something george benson would start a song with.
Absolutely !!!
One of my favorites from Kool & The Gang.....this song is Timeless..........................
Kool and the Gang's "Joanna","Get Down on it","Cherish the Love".Celebrate" "Fresh",to mention a few.J.T.Taylor is all that.
One of Kool and the Gang’s best album…jam!
👏🏽👏🏽good on u young buck ur Ears are mature beyond ur years 👏🏽🔥👏🏽🏝🇬🇺
This one my favorite songs of all time u got great taste bro
the music of my life. So enjoy the memories that this evokes.
Just, that sax got you didn't it lmaooooooo, it's an extended version
Smooth bassline. Great lyrics and delivery. I ain't surprised by your reaction one bit. Might be my favorite Kool & the Gang joint. Its sublime.
Haven't heard this in a while. Back in Highschool.
J.T. has an amazing voice and the band is tight . Try “ No Show” that’s a jam too .
That was a sleeper hit 💯💯 a Quiet Storm Classic
Just smooth and relaxing. Used to ChaCha at many a party to this song. Like you, I feel that Cool and the Gang was definitely an unsung group.
Kool & The Gang was THAT group. They dominated the 80s. They crossed over. I really do not get the literal silence about their legacy, or their contribution to music in general. They have more than 2, more than 4, more than 6 classics. Their body of work runs deep.
Their music was so amazing! My favorite funky & R&B band. Such vocals & instrumental sound! Love this band!
There definitely is an extended version, as I bought the 12 inch single back in 1979(!)
I still find it hard to believe that this is the same band that made that abomination "Joanna"
Kool and the Gang started as a jazz band. You can tell in that smoothness in some of their songs. Too Hot, is one of my favorites and is regularly spun on the oldies stations. Oh, and there is an extended version they did live.
I can't think of a soul band from that era with Kool's longevity and hits. Maybe Earth, Wind and Fire.
extended songs started in 70s 12" singles and birth of remix all started in 70s
I'm not a big fan of "Fresh" or "Celebration"; however, THIS SONG... it's an all time classic. Thank you for reacting to this.
That sounds like George Benson on the guitar. You would love “ On Broadway “ , Give Me the Night” and “ Masquerade “ by him.
Hi JJ! There's pre James "JT" Taylor (lead singer) and post JT "Kool And The Gang", some funkateers don't accept post JT, I like both pre and post. Favorite pre JT is "Funky Stuff", favorite post JT is "Get Down On IT" album version. Peace!
The land of the good groove has captured your rhythm buds young bro... Keep it cookin...
Classic Kool and the Gang!!!
CLASSIC SOUL 🔥🔥🔥🔥
❤❤❤❤...
my favorite Kool & the Gang slow song.
Just Jammin listen to the extended version it's got the best ending 👍
Love watching your videos. Get emotional listening to this music
Another great skaters jam, like Give Me the Night, & Ladies Night. The tenor saxophone solo is Ronald Bell, Robert ‘Kool’ Bell’s brother, who was the main producer & eventually he stopped appearing live with the band, while still producing. I think his Muslim name is Khalisse. Woa! Sorry bruh, I’m just finding out that he passed last September, 2020. I hadn’t heard. Wow! Well, great choice of song. That Best Of collection seems to have pretty much all the hits. I know you like Summer Madness, which is the instrumental. You should also check the live version if you can find it. They also had a hit that got a lot of video play called, Emergency.
JJ, Here’s a few more songs from Kool And The Gang that you haven’t done yet
Steppin’ Out
Take My Heart (You Can Have It)
Let’s Go Dancin’ (Ooh La La La)
OMG. I totally forgot about "Stepping Out"...I'm going to listen to that right now!
Such a great classic
JJ-u gotta check out the full version,Funk on my Man!!
Kool and the gang were one of the funk bands who successfully crossed over when the disco era came by adding J.T. Taylor. Their sound changed dramatically from such song as: "Jungle Boogie", "Spirit of the Boogie", "Music is the Message", and their classic "Love the Life you Live"....and one of my favorites "Whisper Softly".
That feel that you speak of is the reason why so many Hip-Hop and R&B songs sampled this song.
This was the second hit on the Ladies Night album. Then came Celebration and they popped out. I'm not mad they went and got the money but the music was never this quality again. The outlier is Take My Heart. For this and Ladies Night, LISTEN TO THE ALBUM VERSIONS!!!!!! It completes the story for this song.
Too hot baby!! We loved it when it came out! Kool and the gang never failed to move us back in our day!!
fabulous song
I think they did an extended version or an instrumental of "Too Hot".
You are right about us oldsters being spoiled with great music.
Back then you could barely get around to it all.
Not enough hours in a day to really get to appreciate everything.
You are the first I've heard to react to "Too Hot."
There is soooooo much to get to.
"Too Hot"" ,Fresh","Get Down On It",and "Cherish are 4 of my all time favorites K.A.T.G songs.
Kool and the Gang was the jam back then. All those songs listed in the picture were huge hits on the all the pop and r & b charts. K&G was always a dance party. Still spun by DJs at wedding receptions all over America. Fun watching us boomers bust a hip on the dance floor.
I love your reaction. You are most definitely an old soul born in the wrong decade.
You missed Summer Madness, one killer instrumental track, part of Rocky I's Soundtrack, you should check it out.
Bands then often were comprised of musicians who also sang. The voice was another instrument of the band. The music video era got everybody focused on people who could dance and look good on camera. Kool and the Gang had hits in the ‘80s so you can find some with extended versions.
One Of My Favorite All Time Favorite Kool & The Gang Songs(1980) James J.T Taylor Vocals Compliment The Trackl So Well 💯 So Many Hip Hop Producers And Sampled Too Hot
For some of us there are two Kool & the Gangs: Before lead singer J.T. Taylor and after him. Those of us from Jersey who remember the band as those dudes from up the Parkway might prefer the before version, when they were more Jazz/Funk.
The 70’s was big in extended versions. They called it 12” versions. They were usually Disco/Dance music 2 keep people on the dance floor longer. Another person who did a lot of 12” versions was Prince. That’s only because that brother had a lot 2 say musically. I’m reverting lol!
Too Hot was a MF cut. Those days was the best musically & otherwise 👍🏽
Love this song so much. Smooth music that has soul and touches the heart.
One of my fav songs growing up and one of those jams that you NEVER get tired of hearing.
Love how much you loved it.
My favorite song from Kool and the gang. If you haven't tried Celebration yet give it a whirl. Anybody that went to a wedding in the seventies and early eighties knows that tune.
Too good! What a groove they were.
Fun and serious music. Production value is crazy on this track.
on the jazzy side of kool and the gang smooth great vocal from j t taylor , now try summer madness
Perfect for dancing the Hustle ( THE disco couples’ dance)!
The longer version ending is sublime. Try to listen to it if you can.
great song, reminds me of my air force basic training days. nice
But your diapers stink, its terrible 🤣🤣🤣
I think this boy liked that song. 😀
Actually Extended versions popped up in the latter half of the 70s along with the popularity of Disco. Around 76 I believe. Thanks for the reaction. Yes Kool & the Gang Ruled the mid 70s into the 80s.
Keith sweat has a version of this song also.
They were frickin amazing in concert.
What year did you see them in concert?
Bless your heart...and your ears.🙏🏾❤️🎧 That’s the short version though.😕
Always been a killer track
Hey man-props for diggin’ into the old school! “Too Hot” came out in my 8th grade year ‘79-80. You might also check out “Take My Heart.”
I heard this song just a few days back for the first time after being directed to it from a best of 80s video...Amazingly my reaction was just like urs esp when the sax kicked in...I mean that just put it over the top imo...and yes you're right abt having such great music handed out to us on a platter..but again it's never too late to catch gud music !!! Hope you catch a few more timeless ones along the way...cheers !!!
That's brother Ronald Kool Bell on bass
AGREED .
I recently subscribed but I'm a big fan already! You get into the songs and react in the perfect way; express exactly as we felt when we heard these kind of songs back in the day!
LL Cool J - You And Me (feat. Kelly Price) sampled "Too Hot"
by Kool & the Gang.
R.I.P. Ronald "Khalis" Bell 💐🌹☮️❤️💯
Robert is still alive. It was his brother Ronald who passed away.
@@monolithic87 my mistake
There were 12" singles in the 70's.
Imagine a verzus with the and earth wind and fire.
"Celebration" and "Ladies Night" were big crossover hits for K&tG. You should check out "Get Down on It", "Let's Go Dancing" (My fave), "Big Fun", "Cherish", "Fresh" and "Victory" as well and for something different "Jungle Boogie".
And "Summer Madness" for somthing real smooth.
No, you didn't even hear the ending.." WE WERE ONCE LOVERS, WE TOOK OUR VOWS , as MAN AND WIFE FOR EVER.. ...." check it out
My Beloved brother you should do no show by Kool and his Gang featuring brother James JT Taylor. Classic jam
