Kool And The Gang - Too Hot (Live)

[@showmethem5ney]

You know you’re a legend when your live voice sounds the same as the record.

[@PNWOlygurl66]

Yes Indeed!🥰

[@Lovejazz01]

When the whole band sounds the same as the record!

[@Khalid15325]

Absolutely, and without need of autotune software in studio ;).

[@deanoclothier8426]

Indeed! Whitney, Luther, Lionel, Patti, Chaka, Regina, Anita, Billy Ocean, Aretha, Tina, TP, and the list goes on! One marker is that they are ALL OS!

[@charlesmccormick3198]

Am so thankful to be apart of this musical era.😊

The world needs more saxophone solos

Ronald Bell/on Sax... Robert' Kool' Bell's brother.

BEST. COMMENT. EVER.

[@HardCold-Alquan]

The hip-hop DJ 'producer' who uses only machines - ruined live instrumentation! DJ's cannot make basslines or horns, which is why they are not in present 'music.' Get rid of them and bring back musicians, then you will get it!

[@pja546]

My 91 year old dad plays saxophone. Reminds me of him.

[@AnointedOne555]

This is what you call REAL MUSIC!!!!

[@ShondraJenkins-hg3lm]

Song came out when I was 17 in Highschool. I had the Biggest crush on him. Now I'm 57. Watched him singing in their induction into the Hall of Fame. I still felt like a teenager. He looks and sounds great. I would still " Get Down On It"😂❤ Can't believe that he's 71. He still looks and sounds so good. He can pass for being in his 40s or early 50's

[@kellywilmer4408]

There was no Kool and the gang without JT ... period ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@clairedelune2173]

The voice of James Taylor is unforgettable. He has been the true voice of the band's music. Kool and the gang's music and his voice are one thing. Beautiful musical voice.

[@ayndowney9401]

You need to go and listen to the original singer, when they performed Jungle Boogie, and more of their original songs. Check it out!😊🎉😂❤

[@clairedelune2173]

​@@ayndowney9401 I know, Kool and the Gang's members have been and are all great musicians

[@backtofacts]

He’s so good. Absolutely flawless, with an awesome vibe too

[@Aziz-dv2lc]

[@LibraJohnny]

@@ayndowney9401 Before 1979, Kool & The Gang was a pure band, but during JT's era, it was more identified to a singer and a band.

[@paultreadaway102]

He gave them an xtra spark like playmaker made them more successful when he came along they were already good with the Funky styles,JT came along added more from this to Peacemaker blended with everything the Gang did in musical genre makes him and them one of the Great Acts in Pop/Rock history.Hes never listed or mentioned in the greatest list category for Singers mainly Rockers

[@mak2nite838]

He voice is amazing!! 🤩

I always think of adding JT as Phase Two.

[@mcalles2518]

[@Misstonyah]

Im here October 2024. I love their music

[@mamabear3764]

Gosh I miss the 80's and 90's.....they just don't make groups like this anymore. From the latest newcomers...Silk Sonic is the one that comes to mind with a true soulful band vibe. That is hard to find. Kool and the Gang is timeless and I so wish JT would perform with again.

[@sgreen90]

[@anacorrea6700]

Que envidia!!!, no haber estado en Berlín el mes pasado😢

[@davehooper6481]

I love it when a band performs the song in a way that honors the recording instead of sounding like a cover band playing their song. The saxophone solo and the short guitar solo are just note for note.

[@MygueCovershits]

The best song from Kool & the gang for me !! 👍🏼🎵

[@jideakinola2398]

Nah. Good but not the best. For me it’s Jones vs Jones.

[@MrNathan791]

I bought this album back when it first came out. I still have it somewhere in my mom's closet. This whole album was hot. JT when joined Kool and The Gang took it to a whole new level. His voice is so smooth and recognizable. What a classic.

[@KittyGrizGriz]

Danced along with them when they opened for Van Halen, Kool and the Gang stole the show! Love their music 💫♥️💫

[@leslielee2454]

they almost stole the show I seen them in Buffalo Ny with the Mighty VH It was dave Roths idea to have they open what a great decision It was awsome everybody was groovin to the Gang and Then came the mighty Halen WHAT A SHOW i Have been a lifelong VH deciple since i was 13 in 1979 but I always loved kool and the Gang those 80s were the best . Nobody was sitting down from Gang to the end of the show with VH i have video of the whole show

[@KittyGrizGriz]

@@leslielee2454In Tulsa, OK 🇺🇸 David Lee Roth decided the huge sold out indoor stadium, in the middle of summer didn’t need air conditioning & had it shut off after Kools performance. He said it “hurt his vocal chords” such a laugh because he couldn’t sing anymore. Wolfie VH displaced Michael Anthony on bass/vocals & the show was a disaster. We never cooled down afterwards sweating our butts off dancing; & left early. I did see Van Halen on their 1st US tour in ‘78 opening for Ozzy/Sabbath.

[@leslielee2454]

@@KittyGrizGriz vh was on fire out of the box in 78 a friend seen them in Niagara falls in 78 said it was awesome I seen them in 80 81 84 an ever since met Ed Al and wolf on 2015 tour got pix and auto went to multiple shows near Buffalo video every show I could .... good story love to hear stories you seen an awesome show

Kool and the gang album by the same kool and the gang (1970) and album called open sesame (1976), didn’t have any lead singers but they were jamming to great beats including the famous summer madness song (1976) …. I took a deep dive one day and realized they had more in the bag than just the albums in the late 1970s and early hits of 1980s
