“Summer Madness” (extended remix) - Kool & the Gang

[@bizdrone]

In 1983, a ten year old boy is playing his dad's Kool & The Gang records and he discovers this masterpiece. Memories!

[@RichadTheLionHeat]

Back in the 70’s, I was stationed in Southeast Asia, U-Tapao Royal Thai Naval Air Base. I was assigned to the Secuitry Police Squadron, had a great private trailer for my quarters. I bought Kool & The Gang album which had Summer Madness for side 1. I would play that song every morning when I would get up and get ready for duty. Will never forget this absolutely beautiful heart piercing classic. Thank you for sharing. 👍🏻😎🎷🎹🥁🎸🎹🥁🎸👍🏻😎🎼🙏🏻✝️🇺🇸🙏🏻✝️🇺🇸

This song was freshly made 50 years ago (1974) and it's still fresh 50 years later (2024)

[@rondohunter8966]

I was eighteen years old when this dropped. And as a young white boy I was amazed at the smooth, cool vibe I felt. A change from the rock I was used to, and I like it.

Only two groups could do jazz and r and b with perfection. Kool. And Earth

HAPPY 50TH YEAR ANNIVERSARY TO SUMMER MADNESS as September 2024 draws to a close. Fifty years have passed and there has not been one single song that comes to mind that can hold a candle to the influence Summer Madness has wielded on other artists who have sampled this song.

No body makes music like this anymore or play instruments it's just computers This is classic

[@davidtirlokhi4954]

Idk why but this song makes you just think calm vibes and just wanna cry.

[@rashadmyers5288]

Its the Nostalgia....it immediately takes you back to the first few times you remember hearing this song which was more than likely decades ago......and you start to think about all the loved ones who were here at that time...just ENJOYING LIFE...the simple times. Those dearly departed who are no longer with us, but this song just puts you in a nostalgic trance is the best I can describe it. I always feel the same way.

Probably, so ! But "The Commodores" might think that "they" were the coolest cats ? James Brown always swore that "he" was the coolest cat,... but Rick James would have slapped Rick in his face, if he'd heard him saying that !
