That show personally is BIGTIME TO ME! The late Claydes "Charles" Smith was the guitar player for Kool and the Gang. The guitar that he used for that show was built by me. He flew me out to New Jersey where he lived and I delivered the instrument. He was jazzed with the completion and told me he would be using it for the American Music Awards which would be two days later. Of course I was a happy camper and told all my friends and relatives to watch the show. Being 26, it was happening! I miss him dearly , we were close. I know he's in a good place. One other bit of info, the next day after the show Monday, the Challenger exploded. That brought me down! Oh well, the beat goes on.

One of the tightest bands in history. Besides jt and his great vocals the band is off the hook

On this day in 1986 {January 25th} Kool and the Gang performed "Emergency" on the nationally syndicated television program, 'Solid Gold'... At the time "Emergency" was at #56 on Billboard's Top 100 chart, four weeks earlier it had peaked at #18 {for 2 weeks} and it spent sixteen weeks on the Top 100... It reached #7 on Billboard's Hot R&B Singles chart... Between 1969 and 1987 the New Jersey funk band had thirty-two records on the Top 100 chart, eleven made the Top 10 with one* reaching #1, "Celebration", for two weeks on February 1st, 1981... Robert Earl 'Kool' Bell celebrated his 68th birthday three months ago on October 8th {2018}... * They just missed having two more #1 records when both their "Joanna" {1983} and "Cherish" {1985} peaked at #2 on the Top 100 chart...

It's not their fault ! It has always been done (lip-sync) and it's still like that ! In general,groups don't choos it; they are told to do so,when they are going to do a TV performance...For questions of time and money, I guess...It simplifies thing to do it playback...
