This is so impossible not to dance to. I remember so many empty club dance floors in the 80s which were immediately rushed and packed the moment this came on.
I graduated High School in 1982. This Song was played at School Dances and Skating Rinks and Parties. It was also played at my College. It never failed to get people on the Dance floor.
We saw this band in concert back in '81..They put on a wonderful show. I was so saddened when the lead singer (James "J.T." Taylor) left the group. He had a fantastic voice.
I listened to everything they did after he left and the guy they had replacing him sounded just like him. He did return with the "State of Affairs" album (on the premise that the records would say "featuring J.T. Tsylor") however, but they just didn't score on the charts becayse they didn't choose the right records to release.
I remember rollerskating to this back in the day! So many great memories tied to KATG songs. It's crazy how certain songs are the soundtrack to my life.
Soul Train started in Chicago in 1969, hosted by Don Cornelius, (who was formerly a DJ at WVON Radio AM Chicago), on WCIU TV Channel 26. Then went into syndication and moved out to L.A. in the early '70's!!!!
This group really knew how to get your feet, body to move. Love it, love it! My dance music, In my 70's and this was my music to dance too. I still do at many celebrations. I like to surprise everyone with my dancing. I can dance and my friends were mostly black and Hispanic and they had the moves. Thank you so much Your 1 of my favorite reaction people.😃
I KNEW you had to be a great dancer, Twon! It's in the way you move just sitting on your chair, man when the songs play! AGT? Oh, that would've been awesome to see you & your friend doing your thing.
Just loved Kool & the Gang, Get down on it, 80/81. To think it was such a long time ago, it's still groovy for you youngsters. I was 20 yrs old & really LOVED it!!!
Now that I'm sober and watching this it's giving me a headache, I must have been really high back then cause I thought this was the coolest thing I had ever seen.
I would love for you to react to sugarhill Gang "Rapper's Delight" great reaction! Love Kool & The gang! Every Middle School dance one of their songs were playing.
The song I think you were trying to remember maybe was ‘Boogie Oogie Oogie’, by the female guitar & bass duo, Taste of Honey. That one has similar topic about not thinkin you to cool to get on the dance floor, & hit in like ‘78, when disco was still major. Kool & the Gang had a late disco hit called Ladies’ Night. That & this one you played would both be mad popular on the roller skating rinks too. The way you was movin a little bit was how peeped be groovin on skates. Kool & the Gang is a major force of ‘70’s r&b, as well as ‘80’s video era hits. P Diddy & Mase’s 90’s hit ‘Harlem World’, was straight up sample of KATG’s ‘74 hit Hollywood Swingin, Definitely not no one hit wonder, just as popular as other music bands like Earth Wind & Fire, just not as deep. The 1980 KARG hit Celebration, was a no. 1 Billboard hit, which became like an anthem for parties, weddings, & sports teams. They may be the only large soul group to have done that, not even EW&F, or even mixed bands like War, Sly & the Family Stone, Tower of Power, or Average White Band accomplished that. Other KATG hits: 70’s - Jungle Boogie, Summer Madness 80’s - Too Hot, You Can Have It, Joanna, Fresh, Cherish the Life, Emergency.
Soul Train ran from October 2 1971 to March 27 2006. (That's 35 years.) I grew up watching both it and American Bandstand. Back in the day (and I can say that because I was a total of 11 years old when this song was released) if you didn't watch both of those you knew nothing about current music. Thanks for reacting to some "grown folks" music!
Yeah but starting in the late round year 87 and thereafter, the spirit of the good old back in the day Soul Train was gone. Actually left with Don Cornelius. The Soooul Train!!!
I went to Virginia Beach back in the late 90s and Kool and the Gang were playing right on the beach !! It was awesome !! keep those Kool and the Gang reactions coming !!! “celebration”, “cherish”, “too hot”, “Misled” “Fresh” are some of the other hits I think you would enjoy !!
Hollywood swingin used in the film roll bounce. Jungle boogie used in pulp fiction. Great runes. Best known for their sing celebration but they have a lot of very funky music vs.their radio hits in the 80s.
You are right tho... it’s got a 70s disco vibe. Later they did more soul/R&B. Not a disco fan but these guys could make your head bop! Btw... Soul Train started in early 70s. I
Love cool and the gang, check out celebrate, ladies night, my favourite though is summer madness. Plenty of hits, reminds me of going out dancing on the weekends. Check out some earth wind and fire they were also great.
HOW U DONT KNOW WHEN SOUL TRAIN STARTED!!!! DAS WHERE YOU COME FROM YOUNG BUCK!!! Continue your brilliant research. Keep asking questions. Google it! Learn it boo. There’s a WEALTH of Old School!! Love you . Auntie Kim (Philly)
No way, Twon! You? A wallflower? You got too much soul & rhythm for me to imagine you don't dance. You were born in the wrong era, man. So glad you're here, though, doing REACTIONS from hearing what we heard. Makes it all worth it.
The song you're thinking about with the "uhh" sounds is called "War" by Edwin Starr!! I recommend you peep "Cha Cha Cha" by Flip Mode Squad which was inspired by this song!!💪🔥
This CAN'T be your first time hearing THIS joint! This must be your first time hearing it AND knowing what you're listening to - this joint is THE DEFINITION of "groove"...👍😉
Hey Twon! It's Jen! Oh mannnnn have you hit on a great group! This rabbit hole I hope you go down a bit. The trumpets, saxophone, & smooth R&B voices have made them legendary. There's a couple songs you absolutely gotta hit from 70's & 80's. Huge songs - have fun!! 😊 - Ladies Night 🔥 - Celebration 🔥 - Fresh 🔥 - Too Hot ❤ Cherish kinda bores me & Jungle Boogie is really repetitive - IMO!
Bro you need to dive right on in with these guys. You will probably recognize Holly Swinging when you hear it because a lot of hip hop artists have sampled it.
You want to react to all genres of music? How ábout Jazz Rock Fusion. Try Weather Report's song " Black Market" or " Teentown" with the killer bass by the legendary Jaco Pastorius.
This got everyone on the dance floor. KATG had one incredible hit after the next. All killer dance tunes. We gotta see you dance, Twon!
Yesssssss!
This is so impossible not to dance to. I remember so many empty club dance floors in the 80s which were immediately rushed and packed the moment this came on.
Check out Lionel Richie "All Night Long" their song "Celebration" and DeBarge "Rhythm of the night"
I graduated High School in 1982. This Song was played at School Dances and Skating Rinks and Parties. It was also played at my College. It never failed to get people on the Dance floor.
I Graduated in 81. A year before you Graduated. It was great to be a teenager in our day.
Get dancing dude. Girls love guys that dance

@@ujimajame4601 I will check that out. Thanks!
I think "Celebration" was my favorite song of theirs. I hope you'll check it out.
I remember rollerskating to this back in the day! So many great memories tied to KATG songs. It's crazy how certain songs are the soundtrack to my life.
Rollerskating was so the thing, and I think it's time to revisit that, just without the satin pants and headbands 😏
@@cindyd.554 I USE TO 🧊 ⛸️ TO KOOL & THE GANG ❤️ , BACK IN THE DAY 😁
Dude!!!! Even us white kids were jammin’ to Kool & the Gang! Great GREAT MUSIC!!!!
You are just scratching the surface of Kool & the Gang. Keep digging little brother
You need to dance Twon. You'll get older faster when you don't move.
Soul Train came out in the 70s thru the 80s.
Kool and the Gang, Earth Wind and Fire, KC and the Sunshine Band, and The Commodores are all great funky dance music bands!
Soul train premiered in '71 when I was 2, so it is always playing in the background of my music memories!
All of Kool and the Gang's stuff back in the 80's was really great. My favorite is Celebration because it always made you happy.
International hit to launch a dancefloor at a party in the 80's and until now.
One of the best bands of all time!
Pure uncut Funk 🤘🏾
Soul Train started in Chicago in 1969, hosted by Don Cornelius, (who was formerly a DJ at WVON Radio AM Chicago), on WCIU TV Channel 26. Then went into syndication and moved out to L.A. in the early '70's!!!!
Soul Train 1971. That and American Bandstand were Saturday rituals in my household. Kool & the Gang had so many hits. They were iconic!
My all time jam. Love the 70's and 80's. Growing up with this, it's in my heart ❤️. Thanks for viewing this.
Definitely should try SOS Band "Take your time" Same time frame and very fun dance skating song.
Happy music makes your body move!!
Another example of why I miss big bands with brass instruments!
Get down on it!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
The LEGENDARY Iconic Kool and his Gang featuring brother James JT Taylor
They were my concert. 8th grade. So many hits! Jungle boogie, Summertime (redone by will Smith) celebration, ladies night, Joanna...
Lead singer J. T. Taylor -----------------loved these guys !
I was 6 when this came out but I love them!
This was my favorite dance music.
Gap Band, Kool and the Gang, Rick James.
🎵 Get Down on it ... get your back up off that wall. Woo hoo. Got me movin. Lol.
This is my favorite kool & the gang song!
This group really knew how to get your feet, body to move. Love it, love it! My dance music,
In my 70's and this was my music to dance too. I still do at many celebrations. I like to surprise everyone with my dancing. I can dance and my friends were mostly black and Hispanic and they had the moves. Thank you so much

Plus they were so clean in those digs...eye candy for the ladies...lol
the song was " I'm your boogy man " by KC and the Sunshine Band
❤️❤️❤️ KOOL & THE GANG ‼️ , I SAW THEM IN CONCERT IN CALI ❤️ A FEW YEARS AGO , I HAD THE BEST TIME EVER ‼️😁💃
Yesss, this is so much fun to see you enjoying all of the music I grew up on 😊🙏❤✌
Now that I'm sober and watching this it's giving me a headache, I must have been really high back then cause I thought this was the coolest thing I had ever seen.
Classic cut from 1981. May all the members of Kool & the gang who have passed away RIP!
2:52 Talk is cheap Twon, let's see some moves! (3 years later LOL)
One of 1st records I bought! 😎
I love Kool & the Gang.
They had loads of 80s Bangers!
Loved them....DISCO ❤
Some music is only meant for dancing. No big message. Just move your body and have fun!
K&TG is the truth if you want some old school music.
Man these dudes had so many hits.
I would love for you to react to sugarhill Gang "Rapper's Delight" great reaction! Love Kool & The gang! Every Middle School dance one of their songs were playing.
Oh, Yeah, One of my Fav. Clubbin Jams from back in the day...Thanks for the memories, Peace

@@elisageorge1798 Couldn't agree more! Don Cornelius was the heart of Soul Train!
@@anthonywilson1077 Irreplaceable. And as always in parting: I wish you Love ! Peace! And Sooul! My friend 🤗
Check "Ladies Night" use to dance my ass off to K and the Gang
Kool & The Gang was one of my first favourite bands. They are off the charts good.

Another classic groovy song
Great Song, Great Band.. ♠W.G.

70's baby for Soul Train!
Soul Train 🚂 October 1971
I was 13 in 8th grade.
I went to Virginia Beach back in the late 90s and Kool and the Gang were playing right on the beach !! It was awesome !! keep those Kool and the Gang reactions coming !!! “celebration”, “cherish”, “too hot”, “Misled” “Fresh” are some of the other hits I think you would enjoy !!
"Celebration" should be next!
This was the jam... Thanks Twon!!! :-)
🕺🎵🕺🎵🕺🎵💃🎶💃🎶🎤🕺🎤🎵🎶 get dwn on it. Lol.
Ive loved these guys since 1981
I was in elementary maybe 5th grade loved to skate this one we would dance while skating too. Great memories.
Hollywood swingin used in the film roll bounce. Jungle boogie used in pulp fiction. Great runes. Best known for their sing celebration but they have a lot of very funky music vs.their radio hits in the 80s.
All time favorite band. So many great songs all the way back in their jazz days to their hits in the 80's and beyond.
Love this song and your reaction,great song to jam and dance to...
Listen to celebrate by them !!
Kool beans...subscribed ✌♥️
You are right tho... it’s got a 70s disco vibe. Later they did more soul/R&B. Not a disco fan but these guys could make your head bop! Btw... Soul Train started in early 70s. I
This was one of the songs used for the Soul Train line dance🕺🏽
Don't sleep on "Victory" by the same group!! I look at "Get Down On It" as not just a club/dance banger but something that can be applied to life!!
Welcome to the best of the 70/80s
Boogie wonderland with Earth, Wind & Fire I believe you were thinking of
Love it
Love cool and the gang, check out celebrate, ladies night, my favourite though is summer madness. Plenty of hits, reminds me of going out dancing on the weekends. Check out some earth wind and fire they were also great.
HOW U DONT KNOW WHEN SOUL TRAIN STARTED!!!! DAS WHERE YOU COME FROM YOUNG BUCK!!! Continue your brilliant research. Keep asking questions. Google it! Learn it boo. There’s a WEALTH of Old School!! Love you . Auntie Kim (Philly)
Was it EWF"s "Boogie Wonderland", I am pretty smart, Mr. Twon.. ♠W.G.
Love it 🎧❤🇧🇷
🔥 🔥 love it☺😍
Please play more from them (from Portugal )
They had quite a few hits. Check out their song HOLLYWOOD SWINGING.
No way, Twon! You? A wallflower? You got too much soul & rhythm for me to imagine you don't dance. You were born in the wrong era, man. So glad you're here, though, doing REACTIONS from hearing what we heard. Makes it all worth it.

LOVE This song, the video made me dizzy though lol
Ok thank you
They were on Soul Train use to watch 👍👍👍👍
This CAN'T be your first time hearing THIS joint! This must be your first time hearing it AND knowing what you're listening to - this joint is THE DEFINITION of "groove"...👍😉
Gen X here. YO!! They should start the, “GET DOWN ON IT” TicTok challenge!!!! Right????
Hey Twon! It's Jen! Oh mannnnn have you hit on a great group! This rabbit hole I hope you go down a bit. The trumpets, saxophone, & smooth R&B voices have made them legendary. There's a couple songs you absolutely gotta hit from 70's & 80's. Huge songs - have fun!! 😊
- Ladies Night 🔥
- Celebration 🔥
- Fresh 🔥
- Too Hot ❤
Cherish kinda bores me & Jungle Boogie is really repetitive - IMO!
I love this song! Have always loved it! What a feel good song! I always think of school dances and roller rinks when I hear it!
People can mock the 80's all they want. I feel sorry for all the people too young to have been there! The BEST fun!
Bobbing head again.😄
Bro you need to dive right on in with these guys. You will probably recognize Holly Swinging when you hear it because a lot of hip hop artists have sampled it.
Brings back nice memories 😁 Enjoyable reaction, fun. Thank you 💕
You want to react to all genres of music? How ábout Jazz Rock Fusion. Try Weather Report's song " Black Market" or " Teentown" with the killer bass by the legendary Jaco Pastorius.
ThI'll s that Soul Train era 💃
Early 80s
Do Kool and the gang ...too hot ...it's 🔥
