This song reminds me of inner city life back in the 70s & 80s. Think Chicago or Detroit. Look up the Good Times episode "Cousin Cleatus". When the Evans family are dancing to that new stereo I think of this tune.
Best type of music ever, and shit, they look like their enjoying themselves!! Absolutely no attitude, trying to make themselves look cool, just living the life. I love it!
@peasah2005 I believe you meant lead singer J.T. Taylor - however, in the band there is Dennis "D.T." Thomas on alto sax (0:12)! It's sad J.T. is no longer with the band, but they still have D.T.
Perhaps I figured out why the Germans didn't stand, they wanted K & G to do their song and didn't want to seem disruptive. That's what I think why they aren't standing. I noticed this from other German television shows.
@silentmoviemusicfrk - You are right - the german people have no soul and no feeling their music is like a military march 1 2 3 4 and nothing else can they understand
A lot of TV music programmes prefer that the artists lip sync their performance because of technical issues to do with sound and all that, especially with a large band like Kool and the gang....ie it saves time (and money) to have each artist lip sync their song rather than have to go through endless sound checks when each group is only going to be performing one song. Basically the group can just come in, do the performance and go, ensuring production runs a lot smoother.

Kool & the Gang are the finest ever funk group because they made us feel great about ourselves.
Big up to my man, J.T Thomas(James Thomas).

These guys do not need to lip sync, the got talent and do their own instruments. JTs voice is the same whether he performs live or not.
