The only word for this man's voice is smooth. Love Kool & The Gang! This sound came out at the time where funk was peaking, and it was this groovy little bubble in time of "R&B meets disco" dance music. Kool & the Gang, George Benson, Lou Rawls, Earth Wind & Fire, even Michael Jackson was into it with his Off The Wall album! So good!! I swear, you guys keep breaking my record collection! Love you guys! {{{hugs}}}

[@jenniferfoster1692]

All I can say is thank god I grew up in the 70s/80s & got to hear all this music on the radio, as it was released. The whole feeling was so amazing back then, compared to now. We had the best music of so many genres, genuinely talented musicians, good vibes, fun, funky, rock etc..nothing better.

[@OldMusicFan83]

That era is the peak of American culture!

[@aaronbarlow4376]

Born in 72 and grateful. Not just better music and awesome movies but none of the woke nonsense we have now. We knew what a woman was and black people were just people.

[@jodyclark5371]

I'm so glad I grew up as a teen in the 60s,dancing in clubs in 70s & 80s. Growing up with Motown, The Beatles, the British invasion, Beach Boys, Rock from East to West. Funk and Psychedelics,Disco. My generation had it all. At 71, I found you twobyaccident and just love your reactions ! 8:02

[@jenniferfoster1692]

Kool & The Gang were a huge, huge band, they owned the late 70s, early 80s..absolutely owned.

[@gottabeemee]

Their jams are timeless and can't keep from head boppin', feet tappin', finger snappin'... Big KUDOS to you for giving time to MUSIC of the 70's!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎤🎶🎹🎼🔥🔥🔥🎺🎺🎷🎻🎙️🎸🎼

[@eddunn4121]

You nailed it-I was an uptight little white kid growing up in the late 70s and early 80s and I was so lucky that bands like this (and the Gap Band, and the Brothers Johnson, and all the amazing funk/pop bands of that time) told me to just find a groove and dance.

[@amjrpain919]

Gap Band from Tulsa, Ok.!

[@bernie66]

When you have songs like this I watch your reactions over and over. My dance song during the day. At family togetherness me and my niece requested this song to get people moving and dancing. Yeah! We're known for this. What a grove and a faithful watcher.

[@joegreen9987]

You don't have to tell me we had the best music ever in the eighties today music is not the same as ur music you can still take this song to any disco club's and people will get up and dance the night away ❤ 🎶 ♥ ✨ 💕 💖 ❤ 🎶 ♥

Kool & The Gang were one of the best bands back in the 70 's and 80's along with Midnight Star, Rose Royce, One Way and Atlantic Starr. Try Jungle Boogie, Hollywood Swinging, Tonight, Ladies Night, Hangin' Out, Misled and Celebration. 😉

[@bethshadid2087]

Great list.....a must do 🕊️💜

[@brucedillinger9448]

All great songs Kendra! I think my favorite is Hollywood Swinging. ✌

[@vizzini589]

Kool and the Gang were masters of the groove. They had kind of three iterations. Early 70's they had a real jazz/ funk vibe. As they moved through the 70's they became more of a Funk band. Towards the end of the 70's into the 80's when J.T. became their singer (this song) they became more of a groove soul band. They were amazing through it all.

[@kimcutts6153]

This group were fantastic in the 80s. "Cherish" "Joanna" "Celebration" & "Ladies Night" were ALL great songs by Kool & The Gang. ❤🎶🎼

[@IceManTX69]

Don't forget FRESH

[@ericroth9514]

Celebration is a must! A classic, their biggest hit, and a great song. Jungle Boogie and Ladies' Night also great. Saw them live in 2012, and they played them all. Best of all, they were opening for Van Halen.

[@gordonclare2036]

For lovers of funk and the horn section, 70's Kool and the Gang got you with tunes like Hollywood Swinging, Jungle Boogie, and Spirit of the Boogie and the fantastic OPEN SESAME. For a nice vibe, Summer Madness is your gig. When you get to the 80's, the band re organized around a lead singer and released a string of more well known hits like Ladies Night, Cherish, Too Hot and Joanna.

[@ericgude721]

Kool and the Gang were fantastic!!

[@drjaye1962]

I'm glad u guys got to enjoy this group, soooo it was early '80's we lived in Ft Scott 70 miles S of KCMO, on Frid nite you could either spend $5 on a Royals game (cheap seats) or $5 after 5 at Worlds of Fun, and they had a band @ least once a week, we got there and it was Kool and the Gang, they had just got back from Japan and had won some kind of Festival for this very music, there was soooo much great music it was like trying to drink from a fire hose, couldn't be done....it warms my lil heart 2 see you guys love this music so much its great to share...peace

[@donnadubyak6504]

Great dance music in the early 80s I had just turned 21.

[@adublbeatz8656]

Good vibes...good times...you had to dance back in these days....it was hard to leave the dance floor....LOL....

[@Shrykespeare]

Who says the funk era ended in the 70s? Not me. Kool & The Gang (who started groovin' the year I was born, 1969) were making charted hits all through the 80s, and are still going today! "Let's Go Dancing" has always been my favorite of theirs because of its reggae vibe, but I think you'd also love "Joanna", "Misled", "Tonight", or their sweet love ballad, "Cherish". Robert "Kool" Bell was one of the GOATs of 80s R&B!

[@jgsrhythm100]

All floors family owned. Everyone brought their own barbecue pits., the backyard full with them the. fence to the next house open because a cousins own that as well children everywhere... Men and women enjoying each other's company.. Different Music playing in all four apartments. Boomboxes in the back yard... Such a great time to be a child. I miss it a lot..... But I'm grateful to have those Moments... Thank You.....

[@chicagocubs71]

Amber & Jordan, Kool And The Gang have been around since the mid 60's n their still playing in 2021. J. T. Taylor was the lead singer of the band for most of their songs, then he left the group to go solo. Kool & the Gang is an American R&B/funk band formed in Jersey City, New Jersey, in 1964 by brothers Robert "Kool" Bell and Ronald Bell, with Dennis "Dee Tee" Thomas, Robert "Spike" Mickens, Charles Smith, George Brown, and Ricky West. They have a lot of great hits that U guys have to react. Celebration; Ladies Night (Long Version); Jungle Boogie; Hollywood Swinging; Summer Madness(Instrumental); Cherish; Too Hot; Joanna; Emergency; Misled; and many great hits. Hope U guys continue to react to Kool And The Gang.

This group was huge when I was a little kid. My parents used to play their song Celebration at all the birthday parties. I love all of their songs though. Roller skating to their songs was fun too. 🎉

Never a miss with Kool and the Gang. I was a young teen and heavily into Duran Duran but I still loved this band so much. Cherish is a slower vibe but instantly transports me back to those first crush days ❤

Back in the 70’s you would dial your local radio station and hear these guys back to back with CCR and Zz. I have tickets to see them on the 18th and saw the other 2 last fall!

[@KarlKraus1]

This band is SO MUCH FUN to listen to! this song was a great suggestion! the sound and movements that come over you is addicting! Just like "Celebration", this tune has to be a part of any DJ's playlist at a wedding reception! Another song that'll make one feel similar in mood is Sugarhill Gang's "Apache"! In fact, I suggested this way back when you reacted to the song "Stomp" All three of these songs have the suave funkiness that cannot be avoided! I hope you get to it soon! It's been sooo long since it has popped up on this channel We sure need more of it!

[@glenngotling657]

Kool and the Gang songs have such a good groove and then you add in the horns and Kool's voice and it's really Kool!

Aging myself…Graduated from high school in 1980. For the graduating class there was a thing they called "Grad Nite". It took place at Disney World in Orlando. Let's take a nostalgic look back to another time-to “a warmer kind of sunrise” and the Grad Nites at Walt Disney World in the’70s & ‘80s. . . when more than 8,500 students gathered for the largest graduation party ever thrown in the United States. Kool and the Gang was there, along with KC and the Sunshine Band right in front of Cinderella’s Castle. There was another band there called McFadden and Whitehead. Singing there a hit "Ain’t No Stopping Us Now". Fun times!
