What Happened to Kool & The Gang?

[@cellpat2686]

Their change of musical direction was one of the most incredible U turns any band has ever made. J.T. showed up at the perfect moment and the band truly stood behind him to become a new sensation as the new decade and their new sound began (1980). Thank you for giving us an insight on a popular band that not much of is known about.

[@shaneberry]

No mention of 'Hollywood Swingin' or 'Jungle Boogie'???

[@docheine]

J.T. definitely took them to the next level! Ladies Night was probably one of the first ten albums I ever owned.

[@thorntonwilliams3851]

JT didn't take them to the next level, but helped them go in a different direction. They were outstanding musicians long before JT appeared.

You skipped Hollywood Swinging and Jungle Boogie. Both of these singles were certified gold cross over top ten pop hits.

[@docheine]

I always associate “Celebration” with the 1980s St. Louis Cardinals.

[@MrGUGO4]

Celebration was released in late 1980 from a newly released album called "Celebration "
