A video of a live performance of my Kool & the Gang favorite, “Summer Madness” edited and dubbed with an extended remix of the track from the album, “Light of Worlds” (1974).
Back in the 70’s, I was stationed in Southeast Asia, U-Tapao Royal Thai Naval Air Base. I was assigned to the Secuitry Police Squadron, had a great private trailer for my quarters. I bought Kool & The Gang album which had Summer Madness for side 1. I would play that song every morning when I would get up and get ready for duty. Will never forget this absolutely beautiful heart piercing classic. Thank you for sharing. 👍🏻😎🎷🎹🥁🎸🎹🥁🎸👍🏻😎🎼🙏🏻✝️🇺🇸🙏🏻✝️🇺🇸
And reply to you Derek I feel so ignorant I use to hear the song every year at the festivals jazz festival to never know who really done it up until a couple years ago and yes brother I’m jammin it because I miss me some jazz music damn pandemic I’m going to start crazy so therefore I’m on TH-cam just jam this over and over and over peace 🎵🎷🎻
Its the Nostalgia....it immediately takes you back to the first few times you remember hearing this song which was more than likely decades ago......and you start to think about all the loved ones who were here at that time...just ENJOYING LIFE...the simple times. Those dearly departed who are no longer with us, but this song just puts you in a nostalgic trance is the best I can describe it. I always feel the same way.
This is my ultimate Jam by Kool & The Gang. I can listen to it over & over again, all day long. Thank You all for the beautiful music that you've all shared with us. R.I.J.M. Dennis Thomas, he was multi-talented as well as the rest of the band members. My Condolence to his Family, Friends.

Probably, so ! But "The Commodores" might think that "they" were the coolest cats ? James Brown always swore that "he" was the coolest cat,... but Rick James would have slapped Rick in his face, if he'd heard him saying that !

My eldest brother, Glynn would buy all these LPs and on a Saturday, while doing our chores, I would be the resident DJ while they done the garden work. Rest in Peace, Hearty, Lips and Strangz. Red Cup 🥤 Approval Tune 🇿🇦 Memories in Music
For I am not the physical body. I am The Immortal spirit within the physical body. I love listening to this song and imagining that I am freeing myself from the physical world.

In 1983, a ten year old boy is playing his dad's Kool & The Gang records and he discovers this masterpiece. Memories!
47 years has had NO effect whatsoever on the tranquil and soothing vibe of the masterpiece.
Absolutely. Couldn’t have summed it up better.
Well said.
They call that "The test of time."
Absolutely no effect!!!
Absolutely🥰
Only two groups could do jazz and r and b with perfection. Kool. And Earth
Try listening to Fela
The band member playing the synthesizer literally experienced temporarily "Summer Madness" 😲
😃Thank you
What is his name?
What type
Real music by real musicians. Long live musicians,
This melody is forever. It's timeless perfection. It makes my soul fly endlessly into the forever. Thank you 🙏
Perfect !
One of the great instrumentals of ALL Time! Just pure sweetness!!

I was in 10th grade when Kool and the Gang bought this gem out. Boy, reminiscing about the good old days! Still going strong!
Man they all had their own Cosmic Rhythm that made a beautiful Beautiful beat Reminiscing on back home good old days
One of the best songs ever. Nothing from today can beat this!
This song was freshly made 50 years ago (1974) and it's still fresh 50 years later (2024)
Most definitely the greatest instrumental ever wow
A Timeless Masterpiece !!!
Still loving the sound of
KOOL and the gang 2022.

I was 15
They are by far the coolest cats ever
Probably, so !
But "The Commodores" might think that "they" were the coolest cats ?
James Brown always swore that "he" was the coolest cat,...
but Rick James would have slapped Rick in his face, if he'd heard him saying that !
Just a killer song over 35plus years and still 🔥
Dude this song will be 50 years old in 2024
Kool & the Gang fully understood the "Assignment" in 1974 when they brought out Summer Madness !
That will be for life for me l love this piece so much set outside on a hot summer night with friends and family looking up to sky with a nice drink
Left Earth Heading to the MOON!😂❤😂❤❤❤❤
I saw Kool&the Gang live back in 1986 in Frankfurt Germany Festhalle.
Love the original Group.
Never change a winning Team😎
Masters at work.
... heavenly music ....
The best!🥰 Loop on forever! Saw Kool & the Gang live💖💖 Thank you Ellis!

@@RichadTheLionHeat Thank You!🥰
P.S...I had that very album..we must have been listening together many many miles apart!💞
kool and the gang on top!!!!! un chef d oeuvre musical (rythme orchestration...tout y est) cela touche notre âme au plus profond de nous!!! merci les gars Dieu vous bénisse.
I never get tired of this fantastic song!
Imagine being right there when they made that song
I adore this song..
What does highlighted mean....?
But what does highlighted mean? Does it mean that the highlight is from one of kool and the gang? I wish, but I scarce hope for that possibility.
This soulful Quiet Storm masterpiece was created back in 1975 but it feels like it was perfected yesterday afternoon. What a soothing sensation.
1974
Great to hear this. Those extreme trebles are distorted on the cassette, and then , digital versions. Amazing to hear this. They played it perfectly.
