Kool & the Gang - Tonight • TopPop
Kool & the Gang is an American band formed in Jersey City, New Jersey, in 1964 by brothers Robert "Kool" Bell and Ronald Bell, with Dennis "D.T." Thomas, Robert "Spike" Mickens, Charles Smith, George Brown, and Ricky West. They have undergone numerous changes in personnel and have explored many musical styles throughout their history, including jazz, soul, funk, rock, and pop music. After settling on their name following several changes, the group signed to De-Lite Records and released their debut album, Kool and the Gang (1970).
The band's first taste of success came with the release of their fourth album Wild and Peaceful (1973), which contained the US top-ten singles "Jungle Boogie"[1] and "Hollywood Swinging". Kool & the Gang subsequently entered a period of decline before they reached a second commercial peak between 1979 and 1986 following their partnership with Brazilian musician/producer Eumir Deodato and the addition of singer James "J.T." Taylor to the line-up. Their most successful albums of this period include Ladies' Night (1979), Celebrate! (1980), and Emergency (1984), their highest selling album with two million copies sold in the US. Their hit singles during this period included "Ladies' Night", the US number one "Celebration", "Get Down on It", "Joanna", "Misled", and "Cherish". The band continues to perform worldwide, including as support for Van Halen in 2012 and their fiftieth-anniversary tour in 2014.

I Love Kool and The Gang 80’s 60-‘s + years and Years❤ Greatest Group ever! Your Sound was the Best. ❤❤❤
Misturou bem a levada funk, com o peso da guitarra. Nem vou comentar a voz sensacional
Amazing how they went from Funk to Rock in no time at all. And this song was a big hit on the Rock charts that year. I enjoyed playing them on my boombox whenever the radio played any of their songs at that time. And when my brother bought their Lps it was an even better and truly bombastic sound.
This song & Fresh are my favs. ❤
...peaked at #13 Pop, May 1984, & the (original) Music Video was their FIRST 'Heavy rotation' Video, on MTV! ....their choreography is VERY inspired by MJ (
