You're amazed? Really? The 70s R&B and Soul music featured some of the best musicians and creators! Music and art should have never been removed from school curriculums and offerings. Outstanding arrangement!
The Horn Arrangement is so wonderful. It's almost beyond comprehension. It's certainly a dream come true if you're in the horn section to get some shine at a concert.
Kool and The Gang are Funk/Rnb/Disco legends . I grew up listening to these cat's and Earth Wind and Fire , Shalamar , Rick James , Ray Parker Jnr with Raydio , Gap Band , Sister Sledge , Geraldine Hunt etc
Yeh I was born in '73 but grew up listening to all those bands and being amazed how funky the brass was. I still love all the old tunes like this. Compared to now these are solid gold
Just watched SNF on chnl 5. Still as good as the first time I watched it all those years ago. I'm 48 on aug 12th and 1977 only seems like 5 years ago to me🥲🕺
got hooked with this song back in 1977, when I got in 1st grade and did not know a word in english but could not forget the name of the band like many others. In time I learned english thanks to the name of the bands I memorized. Thxs Kool &,The Gang.
They were dressed so cool. That was definitely the style back then. I'm 59 and I remember this well. The song is tight. It's really the fire. Love you Kool and the Gang. God bless you always.
Robert Kool &his Gang takes us all on that magic carpet ride, feeling the spirit of the boogie, with this brassy led funky haven of a track, released at the time Kool was cool, constantly throwin down some phat phat beefy joints on a regular basis before commercialism took over
More like (Funk that Disco enjoyed!). Kool & The Gang were primarily a "Funk" band who did danceable music because they like othe Funk bands had a lot of infectious "rhythm", therefore, the Disco lovers enjoyed borrowing some of the more (upbeat, danceable "Funk"). Then many years later, some of the younger generation starts erroneously calling (upbeat/danceable Funk, "Disco". HOWEVER, it "is" true that when Disco became super popular, many Funk groups certainly tried to "cash in" by attempting to make records that would do TWO things: (1. cross-over to capture Disco fans.........2. while maintaining enough R&B/Funk to KEEP their Funk fans). The one that probably had the most success doing that was probably (Earth Wind & Fire with "Boogie Wonderland"). Kool & The Gang changed from Funk to cross-over (R&B/POP) and made a ton of money with songs like "Celebration" - good for their bank accounts, but I enjoy their earlier R&B/Funk such as: (Open Sesame...Jungle Boogie....Hollywood Swinging....and certainly last but not least, "Funky Stuff").🤘
This track is so clever by kool and his gang i would have loved to see and hear them live never had that funky pleasure i ive missed out.luv their groove.
SouffBeac There is an old saying. "what goes around comes around" Check on TH-cam for Ronald Bell's Kool Baby Brotha Band and check out "My Soul in the Breeze" , Poinciana. Or even check out Kool & the gang's newest single (May 8th 2017) "So High"
I will never forgive Will Smith for not sampling this and making a song for the end credits of the "Aladdin" remake. He would have made an awesome song with this.
After catching an interview on SiriusXM Real Jazz with Mr Bell, I was reminded of how much I needed This Wonderful Band in”The Soundtrack of my Life”!Thank you!!!!!❤️🎶💯
nathan900130 Listen to the song "Wild and Peaceful " from the group's 1973 album titled "Wild and Peaceful or the 1974 studio version of "Summer Madness " on the "Light of Worlds" album. Or the 1977 live version of "Summer Madness" from the " Love and Understanding " album.
that Genie was one cool dude! One of the defiining groups of the 70's and involved in the soundtrack for Saturday Night Fever and were re-invented and still big in the 80's. Very under-rated imo.
Increíble, es una de las canciones que más me gustan, escucha los instrumentos de viento, las percusiones, el bajo, los coros, simplemente SENSACIONAL. Mágico 👍♥️🎼🎵
Thanks, Christian Bascunana, for posting this song! While I'm a Kool and the Gang fan; I've never heard this particular song. However, this is in par with all of the Kool and the Gangs songs that I have heard. It's rocking with the 70's groove! I'm dating myself as you can probably guess my age! Thanks sir!

"I Am The Genie Of Sound, Everybody Get Down.... HOOAH!!! Love that bit!! Pure 70's Funk Right Here... Love It!!!
Such a complex and layered song. I’m amazed by how masterful musicians were back then. I love Kool & The Gang so much! Brilliant craftsmanship.
I agree.
Exactly!! From the strings, to the bass, to the horns, just everything!!!
The genie is getting down 🕺 🕺
What he said
You're amazed? Really? The 70s R&B and Soul music featured some of the best musicians and creators! Music and art should have never been removed from school curriculums and offerings. Outstanding arrangement!
Not one band today can even come close to the top notch musicianship of Kool And The Gang.....
no gahdamn way!
Yes this is music with real instruments. Not the fake crap from rap.
A Funk Masterpiece, with the most outstanding horn arrangement! 🎺🎷🎺🎶
This amazing song and the horn section was just amazing. Remember this one 48 years later. Kool was the best.
One of my absolute Top 5 favorite Kool & The Gang Jam’s of ALL TIME!!!
The Horn Arrangement is so wonderful. It's almost beyond comprehension. It's certainly a dream come true if you're in the horn section to get some shine at a concert.
Now that's a horn section....smoke machine for good measure...loving this
Amazing how every Kool and The Gang song is SO different from each other yet SO amazing.. encompassing SO many genres..jazz, funk , RnB, Disco..
This is how the good groove should be played ... Timeless quality
Kool and The Gang are Funk/Rnb/Disco legends . I grew up listening to these cat's and Earth Wind and Fire , Shalamar , Rick James , Ray Parker Jnr with Raydio , Gap Band , Sister Sledge , Geraldine Hunt etc
Teena Marie
One of the most gifted female vocalists, It Must Be Magic is such a great album
Yeh I was born in '73 but grew up listening to all those bands and being amazed how funky the brass was. I still love all the old tunes like this. Compared to now these are solid gold
Danced all night to this music back in the day. Yes ma'am, get on your camel and ride... to the disco!
😂😂😂😂❤
A band that should definitely be up and included into the ROCK N' ROLL HALL OF FAME!!!!
Incluída ahora en el salón de la fama ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
this is the funkiest jam ive ever heard
Kool and The Gang are the coolest Disco music groups I heard in 1970’s. I miss those days bring them back.
Block party music from another era in time 😂❤❤❤❤
The horn section is amazing ! This song was also featured in the movie "Saturday Night Fever" during the dance contest.
This band is so overlooked in what they contributed to the music of my generation! I totally forgot about this one of theirs!
HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH KOOL & DA GANGS props to the ancient black Egyptians..
I loved this song when I was a kid. Brings me back to those days when music was really good.
Congrats to Kool and the Gang for their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Well deserved. 👏🎉
R.I.P. Ronald Khalis Bell thank you for giving us the best music of our lives
This track is a masterpiece all around. The composition, arangement, production and performance. Amazing!
RIP Spike Mickens & Charles Smith & Clifford Adams and Ricky West... May your souls rest in eternal tranquility and funkiness...
And now we sadly add Ronald “Khalis” Bell. 9/9/2020
And now Dennis "DT" Thomas....RIP
@@reg7000SIP Funky George 🌹🙏
This song will always remind me of the black couple in the dance contest on Saturday night Fever that lost to Tony & Stephanie. 🎉💃🌐🕺🎵🎶🎵🎶😅
Outrageous horns!!!🤯😆👍
👍🏾🎷🎺🎷
I choreographed to this in the mid to late 80's. An absolute blast. We captivated audiences and had standing ovations. So much fun! Kool and the gang!
I AM THE GENIE OF SOUND
EVERYBODY GET DOWN HWAH!
Allakaszam!
when I was a kid I thought "I am the genie of funk"
The "HWAHHHH" really sells it
It was quality, talent, masterpiece.
One of the best songs of all time🎉
Real instrument Real musicians No Drum Machine
Saturday Night Fever Anniversary today (november 15th) it was 1977, and this was on the soundtrack! We need more of this today!

Pure complexity and richness. I love the brass section. Amazing song and band.
Just think these cats were in their 20s playing real instruments. My Generation was truly BAD ASS BABY

got hooked with this song back in 1977, when I got in 1st grade and did not know a word in english but could not forget the name of the band like many others. In time I learned english thanks to the name of the bands I memorized. Thxs Kool &,The Gang.
Some of the most funkiest horn players of all time!
Earth Wind & Fire?
Fabulous song! The horns are so good!
They were dressed so cool. That was definitely the style back then. I'm 59 and I remember this well. The song is tight. It's really the fire. Love you Kool and the Gang. God bless you always.
Might I add the women of the 70s !;; ❤️ 🔥 💯!!!!
You sound like Don Cornelius lol
Less inhibited times.
I am the genie of sound, everybody get down hooah!!!
Robert Kool &his Gang takes us all on that magic carpet ride, feeling the spirit of the boogie, with this brassy led funky haven of a track, released at the time Kool was cool, constantly throwin down some phat phat beefy joints on a regular basis before commercialism took over
my favorite track from the saturday night fever album 🧞♀️
Masters of funk. wha wha gtr, horns, kool-on bass , drummer george.
For those of us who lived through the 1970s, we had some of the most incredibly AWESOME & EXCITING MUSIC ever made.
Those chromatic music arrangements are brilliant!!! 🤩🎶💯👍🏼
Yes, " Kool and The Gang " even FUNKED up Disco

My Middle School marched to this song, I played xylophone. We got down, everybody was dancing.
*SOUNDS AS FRESH TODAY, AS IT DID THEN!. LOVE THIS!. **#BLESSINGS*
The best song from Saturday Night Fever, and one of the greatest hits of the 1970s.
Also 'kjee' by MFSB. th-cam.com/video/M_R6u1Cd1Us/w-d-xo.html
Just a terrific song. Brings back some sweet memories of laying pipe.
LMAO!!!!!!!
This track is so clever by kool and his gang i would have loved to see and hear them live never had that funky pleasure i ive missed out.luv their groove.
Wish they made music like this now!!!
Never heard of the band Incognito ----give them a blast!
SouffBeac There is an old saying. "what goes around comes around" Check on TH-cam for Ronald Bell's Kool Baby Brotha Band and check out "My Soul in the Breeze" , Poinciana. Or even check out Kool & the gang's newest single (May 8th 2017) "So High"
Yes I agree.
Horns going foolio. Takes me back 2 being a very young kid. My earliest memories of soul music.✊🏾💪🏾
🎤🔊📣📢📺 I was only 10yrs old when this came out, KSOL used to jammed it on the radio!
Revolutionary for the 70s! ❤❤❤❤❤ it! Thank you! Been hearing this 🎵 in my head this week! ❤💃🏽🎼
Disco stupendo grandiosa storica Band!!!!. Fortissimo "unisono" di fiati Miti!!!!!... W. Disco 70's. Ragazzi, però che nostalgia....
Saw them yesterday and was like "whatever." Then they broke this shit out. MIND BLOWN
I remember this song in 1976 when I was 16 years old.
One of the greatest ever tunes finally got every version of this
3:30 best break in music history 🔥
One of the best parts of the song.
I will never forgive Will Smith for not sampling this and making a song for the end credits of the "Aladdin" remake. He would have made an awesome song with this.
I had the Saturday Night Fever double album and this songs brings back the memories! Funkadelic baby!
After catching an interview on SiriusXM Real Jazz with Mr Bell, I was reminded of how much I needed This Wonderful Band in”The Soundtrack of my Life”!Thank you!!!!!❤️🎶💯
One of the best lineups of this wonderful band and incredible songs and excellent vocals
Rest In Power DT
Yeah. This Is Still The Shit. Kool & The Gang Had A Sickkk! Horne Section! Brings Back Good Memories. There Will Never Be Another Band Like Them.😎💕
This was a great song in the 70s
The Best Funk track ever. 🎷🎺🎶
This joint turn's the dance floor out, Kool & the Gang is straight track masters of all time 70s..... for Damn sure.😎
Nothing can touch this
let us not forget the jazz of kool and the gang.
this song is more funk than jazz.
nathan900130 Listen to the song "Wild and Peaceful " from the group's 1973 album titled "Wild and Peaceful or the 1974 studio version of "Summer Madness " on the "Light of Worlds" album. Or the 1977 live version of "Summer Madness" from the " Love and Understanding " album.
I don't have time to check those yet since i'm working on my school project, but are those you mentioned their jazz hits?
Legendary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Never gets old! Those horn charts though...
Funkiest horn section ever!
One of my favorite songs by Kool and the gang used to tear up the Dance floor
Disco was a good era.
Serious nostalgia. I still remember when this song came on during pool scene in the movie Shazam. Hands down Sinbad's best movie from the 90's.
You can have the Bee Gees. As far as I'm concerned, this masterpiece is the REAL star of the "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack! 🕺⭐🔥
Saw these Guys in Concert in 1980!
I remember this song, but just found out KG made this. I'm 51 years old.
The Kool & the Gang Horns can go with the best of them! Open Sesame! FUNKY!!
Never knew there was a video for this song!! I love it!! Man, they are straight JAMMING!!!
Thank you for uploading!! ❤️
Neither did I... the horn section is magnificent!☺
@@briangarrett9820 It sure is!!
real music played by real artist
Fabulous classic
Sax
Gotta be crazy not to groove with the Genie!
Thanks for posting. I have never seen the actual live video. Back when talent/lyrics were meaningful!
when i was little i loved the shit out this song! all horns and instruments blow my mine.
First got to see this amazing band at their first U.K. concert at the Rainbow Finsbury Park 1975.
So tight, love everything about this groove
I thank god for the funk he gave me!!!
SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER DANCE CONTEST - THE MEXICAN COUPLE WAS CUTTING IT UP ON THE DANCE FLOOR!!
If I had to explain funk to an alien, I'd just give him a Kool and the Gang album.
that Genie was one cool dude! One of the defiining groups of the 70's and involved in the soundtrack for Saturday Night Fever and were re-invented and still big in the 80's. Very under-rated imo.
Increíble, es una de las canciones que más me gustan, escucha los instrumentos de viento, las percusiones, el bajo, los coros, simplemente SENSACIONAL. Mágico 👍♥️🎼🎵
This song and video are epic
When life was so much more enjoyable!❤❤❤❤

DElain Washington You're welcome mister. Check my other Kool and the Gang videos on my channel!
You should watch Saturday Night Fever...thats when I first heard this song. The dance number whowhooowee!
Damn I love this man!! Hell's yeah!!!
My favorite song from Kool and the Gang
Saw live summer 1974 Hampton Roads Colosseum damn what memories
I completely wore that record out when I was 17 😊😊
