J.T along with the WHOLE of The Gang ....With these two classic elements it made ONE complete sound ... long overdue entry to The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame... I really hope that J.T will perform with the remaining members of The Gang ... just for this ONE SPECIAL OCCASION 🤞🤞

[@Ariyantubegaming]

These were performers..not what we have today

[@johnhenry960]

JTTaylor era of Kool & the Gang was phenomenal..So underrated..

[@TheCory42]

Exciting melody, inspiring words and a fantastic singer in JT Taylor!

[@ronaldlane1597]

This was the last album with JT! It hit hard.

[@michealcolon455]

Song truly motivates you

[@LayDiva-in-the-Zone]

This is why I LOVE this era of music...the entire band performed, they sang, danced, and put on a SHOW. No lip-synching crap like these people now. Kool and the Gang will always be played at ANY party I throw!

[@heatherholyland1338]

party !!!!! :)

[@BilisNegra]

LOL! The 80's were the "golden" era of lip-sync!!!

[@cocoafemme47]

@@BilisNegra: WRONG!!! Doubt that you were even in existence in this era!!!

[@BilisNegra]

@@cocoafemme47 I was, smarty pants, even if as a kid. Granted it was not in the USA, but doubt it was that much different to over here in Europe. You can correct me though if you can give specific examples. Of course, I'm talking about TV shows.

[@ncheriyan]

There was a lot of lipsyncing back in the 80’s... most top of the pops performances were lip synced and instruments were played back. Milli vanilli etc. but regardless, 80’s was great

[@saleemhoosen2236]

The positivity in this song is through the roof!

[@pinkhare4344]

There’s not one KoOl and The Gang song that’s bad! Period! They all was great to sing and dance to,,, still are!

Carla Linton. Victory is one of my favorite songs by Kool And The Gang. This is one of my favorite old school jams back in the day.

[@robwarren6729]

Forgot all about this 80's jam - K & the G really had it in them. Love it.

[@patrickirvin1486]

I saw them last year, not all the original members but , with there substitutions, they were the best “Taste of Colorado” concert I have ever seen. I’ve been going there for forty years!

[@thomaspick4123]

I think the drummer and bass player are the only ones left of the classic lineup. I am sure the replacements they hired still put on an exciting show.

[@helenadair32]

love this song, victory !!!! IT'S THE SAME WAY IN LIFE, ONLY ONE WAY TO THE TOP DON'T STOP PUSHING

[@Globalman43]

Exactly! Truly a inspirational song.

[@csarock1csarock187]

Yeah!! 80s Forever!! Way more musical talent than every decade after.

[@pjangels609]

I love the harmony interlude at 2:25, it adds a lot to the whole persona of the song.

[@happyngulube1871]

One of the best groups ever

[@curtissharpe-gb1mb]

The first time I heard this song was at a High school Basketball game in 1988 brings back so many memories of great music

[@lionelkennedy1394]

Kool & The Gang made great music that you could dance to, and everyone could listen to it. The messages in their songs were always positive and classy.

[@TheLPHome]

Yeah man thanks to my father i grew up on funk and Kool and the gang and I will definetly pass that to my children. Im 24 now, will support the 70s and 80s!! =)

[@spiderman504]

Hey All, hope everyone is safe from the virus effect. Anyway, it makes me feel very good reading the comments about the Victory song. I co-produced and did synthesizer programming for the entire album. We had such a great time recording and producing that record. The band was fantastic and on point. JT was very fast recording his vocals and his lyric writing was effortless. Working with Ronald Bell (Khalis Bayyan) & company in the studio was a such fun! The best part was the total musical freedom and trust bestowed upon as producers/programmers to make this project successful. Merging the Kool And The Gang sound with the 80's digital era was a great time in my career and the experiences I hope to never forget! Boy do I missed those days!😛

[@ivetterodriguez2902]

CONGRATULATIONS Randy! Thanks a lot for sharing your successful experience with the band KOOL & THE GANG!

[@christylewis5701]

I was in this video, as a dancer, with my friends and can just about see myself 😆 Still have the T-shirt, hat and gloves somewhere. Long afternoon and very late night with fun memories. Started doing the upper choreography again while watching this after decades! Good times.. All the best to JT, Kool and the gang

[@oholm09]

Really so what kind of synthesizer you got or drum.machine

[@spiderman504]

@@oholm09 hey guy hope all’s well. If you’re asking what synths/drum machines was used to record that CD, well it’s a long list! But mainly we used a Mini-Moog, Source Moog, Oberhiem OBX, OBXA, Matrix-6, Yamaha DX-1, DX-7, TX802 racks, Roland MKS-80, MKS-70, MKS-20, Wavestation , D-50, EMU and Ensoniq samplers, and even a Fairlight Synth/Sampler! For drums Mainly a modified Linn 9000, Roland drums and pads. We had our own studio in West Orange,NJ and was fortunate to have a next door neighbor who owned a music store. On occasions we would ride over to NY and shop for hours at Sam Ash after the store closed. Man those were great fun times!
