I was 17 years old in 1977..I saw the original Kool and The Gang..I was 12 years old the 1st time I heard of them The Wild and Peaceful album.. jungle boogie, Hollywood swinging and funky stuff.. I was blown away .. the music was so good that it can’t be described.. though this is not the band from the 70s/80s the fire that I felt from their music is still there.. I love Kool and The Gang.. K&TG along with James Brown JBs & Prince’s Revolution not forgetting EWF and ParliaFunkadelicment are the greatest and influential jazz, blues and funk groups of all time…RIP🎼🎶🎶🎶 Rick West, Spike Mickens, Otha Nash, Clifford Adams, Claydes Smith, George “Funky” Brown, Dennis “DT” Thomas and Ronald Bell.. Kool and The Gang 4ever.. let the music take your mind.. spirit of the boogie

I have partied with the original group back in the 70's when i was in college. My job was bringing groups from the airport back to campus. Spirit of the Boggie and Jungle boggie was hitting hot and heavy. Their brass section was the funkiest during that era and it was crisp and clear. Man these guys here damn sure represent. My sister dated one of their members which i didnt know about. The night before i left for basic training i was picked up at my recruiting station and partied with them before i flew out. All the guys at the recruiting depot was trying to figure out if i was famous or something. No it was a suprise from my sister for me. Boy what a party that was. Good times.!!!
