This is one of the absolute key tracks played in the "Quiet Storm" genre that was popular on late night urban radio stations during the late 1970s thru the 1980s. The genre was soothing contemporary soul/R&B music, often with some jazz overtones. The term "Quiet Storm" comes from a Smokey Robinson song from 1975. Wikipedia has a "List of Quiet Storm songs" entry for those interested.

One of the all time great instrumental’s

[@maarifawalcott5145]

On of the greatest musical pieces of all time.

Summer Madness is one of the best jams of all time. Speaking of hypnotized, Hypnotized by Fleetwood Mac/Bob Welch will take you to the same place.

Kool & the Gang started out as a jazz band before they got into more popular music, a combinations of r&b, funk and disco. Their early albums are heavily jazz influenced.

I was in high school when this album came out. I can't describe the absolute JOY of watching younger folks get turned back on to REAL music. No "scratch", no endless loop samples, just a group of musicians playing actual instruments, and throwin' it down........good work!

[@mikedignum1868]

This is so smooth ive got it on my funeral (cremation) play list as the box goes into the furnace. I kid you not.

[@oceanlover3530]

This song plays on a loop for me. Gorgeous!

[@Gez492]

All you need to appreciate is it was ground breaking back in 1974 guys, 50 years ago! and it sounds as fresh and compelling as it ever did.

[@darrylchambers7801]

There's actually a sequel to this song entitled 'Winter Sadness " on the following album "Spirit of the Boogie "

[@MrDuneedon]

I cannot hear this song without thinking of GTA: Vice City-which is where I heard this song for the first time!

[@talltulip]

Is this the most chill song ever, or what? (OMG, I typed that before I watched much of the video... and then 5 minutes in you said the exact same thing! Hahaha!)

[@deckofcards87]

GTA Vice City. That's the first time I heard this smooth goodness and I knew the band way back in the 80s

[@gailjohnson5950]

I have loved Kool and the Gang since the 70's, but I never heard this song....and WOW...just mesmerizing! Thank you so much for the reaction. Guess us old folks don't know everything, lol...BTW. you 3 are so impressive in that you all seem to appreciate smoother, more complex music rather than the hard rock selections you react to. Considering your youth, it is so very engrossing to watch. Only discovered Views a couple weeks ago, and I've become deeply hooked. Keep it rolling!! Give MisLed a review..one of Kool's great bangers, but it never got much air play.

[@angelajakem366]

I always heard this song as the theme for Detroit radio WNIC's "Pillow Talk " late night program at least 20 years ago! I never knew the band or the title! Thanks for solving the mystery!

[@stanleyrichiii4474]

Please give some love to the guitar player. He killed this

[@lucky4724]

When it was time to meditate while Deployed Overseas we would drop the needle on this joint, Ahhh the memories!! Shoutout to the 86th. Tactical Fighter Wing🇺🇲💪🗣️....hoooah!!💥

[@robertsimms1318]

I saw Kool & The Gang live at Sea World in Orlando, FL and have the single record of "Celebration" including two album cassette tapes. The best years of my life were during the 1980s as a teen.

[@mitziclark7488]

listening to people react to this amazes me it’s not mediocre it’s extraordinary 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@darrelyoung5066]

I seen cool and the gang in 2012, they opened up for Van Halen at the KFC Yum center, they put on a great show .
