Kool & The Gang - Jones vs. Jones

[MySeltaeb]

Such an under-rated gem of a song.

[MrAndysoul]

Not my genra but one of my favourite records 

[museleila62]

j'adore, je me suis retrouvée dans les meilleures années de la musique, les années 80!

[onlyjaz]

Top Shelf still...1982, my first ever concert. My gone but not forgotten mom gave me the green light to kick it with 2 of my aces as I was a senior in high school we,were 2 weeks off of winning the state championship in hoops and college was on the horizon. Life was a bit more innocent at the time and you could actually see and hear the band. Good music is just that as it transcends time. I would not trade the journey for anything!

[nourdinefunkever]

j'adore Jones vs Jones !! top cool !!! la rythmique...Basse et la voix de James Taylor : excellente ...

[MOSTATROLEUM]

This brings back a lot of good memories.



[planetwiseable]

"luv dis dude''!!,smoothe!

[MrNathan791]

[hammertoebubbaloo]

This is FIRST CLASS. Period.

[CharlyAlberti1000]

"De gustos y colores no han escrito los autores"...para mi la mas extraordinaria canción de los Kool & The Gang...y James, un E.T. que puede hacer graves y agudos increibles con esa increible voz!

[CJjiri1]

[ladieniece1]

[marcelogracas]

[hilly1690]

[DaveWollenberg]

The Gang hit #39 in Billboard, 6-27-81. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!

[TheKenfig]

Gone are the days of me and you ; a song concerning regret about breaking up and the sense of finality - has touched so many who have felt it

[trezlorenz]

It is just life!

[BonChi66]

Great song!



[corinthians100iv]

é verdade mesmo eu tenho 13 anos e curto kool and gang e varios outros como gap ban , jimmy bo horne e varios outros .

[nourdinefunkever]

juste exceptionnelle ! la vérité est là : désormais, il n'existe plus ce type de tube bien malheureusement... KATG était et reste précurseur dans le groove.. La disco et la funk un groupe de légende ! pour toujours dans mes favoris ce groupe !!!!

[wpreyer]

It touched us in places only music could find..

[4Ebsus]

heartbroken song but..groovy

[kasilof5863]

that brotha had one smooth voice

[luchoq77]

marriage is for crazy people glad I´m not and never will.. jones vs jones the best divorcing song ever.

[WingitMan27]

@luchoq77 damn right it is. lol it either makes you or it may break you.

[MyJunior1975]

Random fun fact: Ronald Bell (A.K.A. Khalis Bayyan) produced The Fugees' debut album "Blunted On Reality".

[VintageSoundsNumber1]

See ...?! ... that's what a collaboration with Eumir Deodato would result in : Jones vs. Jones ...

[VintageSoundsNumber1]

...the reason to that being that he was already in an other funk group in the seventies(produced by his brothers,however...); group which split up by the late 1970s : I guess that was the reason why he could join his brothers as a member in Kool and The Gang,during but a few years...then, he left again Kool and The Gang in the early 1980s, to join an other funk group (=around 1982...)

[VintageSoundsNumber1]

At first, I did not know who were the two keyboardists, but now I know : apparently, it seems it is Earl Toon Jr. (left in late 1980/early 1981) , the other (in the background) would be the third Bell brother (Kool's and Ronald's brother); Kevin Bell (later took the name "Amir Bayyan" , while he converted to Islam, along with his siblings...); he -too- never stayed very long in his brother's group, since he also left by late 1981...

[VintageSoundsNumber1]

"it's all over but the memories..."

[VintageSoundsNumber1]

Notice the drum set : two bass drums...

[Domingol22]

esta cancion esta bien buena me relaja k

oooooooooooooooooooooool

[elpajaro21]

This was the time when music was magic and excellent.

Nowdays is only shame

[isleoforkney]

@elpajaro21 Nowdays is only shame? what's wrong? are you depressed?

[nourdinefunkever]

@elpajaro21

I agree with you totally cause k.a.t.g. composed such beautiful songs during the seventies and eighties ! forever in my spirit this band !! so "Kool"

[Scourgeandmephiles93]

@elpajaro21 Songs today are only about sex and prostitution wheras the songs support and encourage prostitution. I really think that rape would've decreased if youth stopped listening to the new shit.

[magicelectro]

pour tous ceux qui s'y reconnaissent ....

[rhylmark]

just love it

[MrSqueezefan]

We had a love so strong xxx

[JoeyJonesIsASexGod]

prob my favourite Kool and The Gang track, alongside Summer Madness and Strong

[patwilliams33]

DIVORCE ended it.

[tamerelaputejelafuck]

I can't believe that James J.T. Taylor was just a schoolteacher...personnally -even though I like Kool and The Gang- I would have prefered to remain a scoolteacher than become a performer; cause even though you could have fun once you became famous (a reality back in the days much more than nowadays...) the music/entertainment business remained a arsh and hasardous job... no way : I would go for the schoolteacher post...!

[tamerelaputejelafuck]

That one two was a promotionnal video for the song; cause it sounds exactly like the album version, in every detail; and you notice some details taht accounts for that, like : when you here the cymbal being hit three times, for instance, you can see that the drummer -in the background- doesn't hit the cymbals at that particular moment, but rather continues playing on the toms...etc... it's like they didn't care much making it real, and they knew that it was just a promotionnal video for the song

[Geostrategic1]

Koll and the Gang is one of the best disco bands ever!

[kusojiji7]

love it

[DJDonJuanCenzo]

awesome song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrTkpbird]

Should have been a bigger hit---its only fault was following a worldwide party smash like "Celebration"---terrible timing by Polygram Records...still a "lost favorite" for KATG fans...

[DaveWollenberg]

Hit #33 soul, #39 pop in Billboard. RIP, Charles Smith. God bless!

[flasch4]

super sa nous rajeuni de la super music

[ssebba2009]

Esta canción es de un tiempo muy hermozo en mi vida , cuando primera vez mi corazon se abrio. y desbordo amor.

This song is very beautiful time in my life when my heart first opened. and love overflowed

Esta canção é muito bonita tempo na minha vida quando o meu coração aberto. eo amor transbordou

[mitchyfender]

I remember this song coming when I was a young 22 yrs old brings back so many memories..

[suedru]

@curmica

[Chelbee]

This will forever be one of my favorite albums... so many memories. I wish I could find "Just Friends" on here.

[Chelbee]

Spoke too soon. Found "Just Friends"

[dsimpson41]

One of the most beautiful melodies I've ever heard... if it was a love song it would've been a #1 hit

[tekenareuben]

one of my fav group and one of my fav songs

[DaveWollenberg]

Should've done better than #39 in Billboard.

[Gehel59]

one of my favourite of my favorite singers! kool = the best all over the world

[roytonmax]

Sublime Guitar playing

[Boogalooonetheone]

Yes, totally agree. You notice it, and it's very rare. At that time it was the late Kool and Gang's master guitarist: Mister Charles Smith. He died in june 2006. he was one of the most gifted and influential musician in jazz-funk history. His ability in several music styles was admitted by many musicians all around the world. R.I.P Mister Charles Smith.

[4oust]

wow the best song in the world
