I was a little boy being turned on to this music in 1973, 74 about ten years old (do the math). I'm a drummer. I know why call him "KOOL" That music is so cool and funky. My brother's and I used to have such a good time immitating this group, , zapp, dazz band, Confunkshun, cameo, earth wind and fire, LTD, the barkays, the commodores, ,brick, chic, the list goes on, Rufus, the brothers Johnson, Graham central station . Quincy Jones aww bruh, average white band. I can go all night 😎
Kool and the Gang ist für mich eine Band, die nicht nur in den letzten Jahren gute Songs gemacht hat, nein, sondern auch schon in den 60er Jahren brillanten sond musiziert hat. Und ich wünsche der Band, auch wenn mal Bandmitglieder ausfallen, ein weiteres Fortbestehen. Weil ihre Musik ist einfach toll und unverwechselbar. Regina aus Deutschland , vielen Dank, für eure tolle Musik
Now THIS; is the Kool and the Gang that I remember! Horn line smoking, bassline driving, the funk at its rawest, and newest form! If you think you're funkin', and it don't sound like this; YOU 'AINT DOIN' IT RIGHT! YA' HEARD?!
Use to play this with my band from Philly when i was in college. We always had a helluva good time and never failed to move the crowd. Kool and the Gang was the preeminent instrumental funk band of the late 60's, early 70's and this live version is killer. I said whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa , whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa yeah!
I Lived Nearby Where They Had Practiced & At The Time 'People Knew The Area' As ''The Junction.''I Went To 'Lincoln High School' In 'JC,In The 'Early '60's,Where They Had Their Education When They Were Young.They Are All 'Musically Inclined' & 'Very Well Talented.'Also,'The Greatest Funk Band Alive.'[Just Can't Get Enough Of That 'Funky Stuff.] So,Please ''Keep Those Funky Songs Alive.''
JOHN Luise Please learn how to use your caps lock key. It simply hurts to read you. Having to type a one-hour monologue retranscription of Christopher Walken with all the stupid punctuation would be more pleasant than to read your comment again.
Five boys from Jersey City that changed funk and R'n'B forever. JB said these guys had the best horn section ever and he should know !!!! Bless Khalis, Robert, Funky George and the great DT. RIP Spike and Claydes. "Good show "
Now this is the Kool and the Gang I like. Doing some old school funk. That pop music they do, they can have it. But these guys are very excellent musicians. Very talented kats. And they are well trained in Bebop Jazz. You all don't know that side of there musical talent. They are really jazz musicians. Basskat Detroit MI.
This music keep me alive in australia because the australians did not know any of this music when I arrive here all clubs then was full of migrants and very few anglo australian .I was from Latin America thank Kool and the Gang!!!!
nice openning tribute to the godfather! james brown once said in the late sixties that kool and the kang was the funkiest band next to his own! what a compliment! they damn sure funky
You don't see often such great bands, so many musicians playing together for so many years, so many hits sooo goood! One of my favorite 80's funky disco bands with KC & The Sunshine Band.
@myownservant Shawn Mc Quiler, Kool and The Gang's guitarist, is a truly gifted musician man!! Believe me; i've seen them on stage so many times and even recently in Paris - France. It was phenomenal !!!
the sad thing is they have a huge catalog...... they have over 30 top charting hits.... in a situation like that you just have to hope they play your favorite song.... they had many hits with JT and before him
FUNKY STUFF prvý TOP 10 hit skupiny KOOL AND GANG, ktorý bol v R and B rebríčku 19 týždňov od 11. augusta 1973 a obsadil 5.m. V rebríčku Billboardu skončil na 29.m. Skladba pochádzala z albumu WILD AND PEACEFUL, ktorý bol v rebríčku Billboardu 60 týždňov od 13. oktobra 1973 a skončil na 33.m. a ako prvý album skupiny získal od RIAA zlatú platňu.Skupinu vytvoril v roku 1964 v Jersey City Robert Bell ako jazzové kombo pod názvom The Jazziacs. V zostave boli Ronals Bell saxofon, George Brown bicie, Robert Mickens trubka, Dennis Thomas saxofon Woody Sparrow gitara a Rick Westfield klavesy.V roku 1967 Sparrowa nahradil Claydes Smith a po zistení, že jazzom sa neuživia sa skupina preorientovala na R and B a vystupovala pod názvom The Soul Music Review.V roku 1968 vystupovali pod názvom New Dimensions potom New Flames a napokon Kool And The Flames a aby si ich nezamieňali so skupinou Jamesa Browna Famous Flames zmenili názov na Kool and The Gang podľa prezývky Roberta Bella. Po uzatvorení zmluvy s De-Lite Records v roku 1970 zaznamenali pozornosť inštrumentálnymi skladbami Kool And The Gang a The Gang´s Back. Pieseň Funky Stuff sa stala prvou skladbou, ktorá znamenala pre skupinu komerčný úspech. Žial už traja členovia skupiny nie sú medzi živými a to Rick Westfield, Robert Mickens a Claydes Smith.
Believe or not Kool and the Gang is the current openning act for Van Halen I wonder if they play this song on the Van Halen tour if so Kool and the Gang would out stage VH.
Im a form of energy in this life of planet we didnt choose to live in but music is the only connection.language.and form of freedom for me.which is y i dont ever vote.unless its to make music a manditory language and communication and or the herb....jahbless.stay funky.LOVE PEACE AND HAPPINESS
...great to hear Kool doin' it with players who want to stay in the pocket. The "flash" is 2 & 4 ! Nice touch with the Miles-like trumpet solo. Too bad the drummer's snare is tuned too tight and high.
Agreed. I personally like hiphop sometimes but it would be way better if real music came back into "style". And this isn't the only one that should come back either

I was 20 when first heard it .never gets old.god bless James brown 😊. The godfather of soul for his influences.
