[amd77j]

[gasly130]

[saints360row]

@gasly130 -I thought it was so-so. It actually got annoying after awhile.

[SergeantDanK]

wish i could have seen this

[maaniyousofi]

one drummer... TWO dummers? ooooh, i need my medication.

[ebalona]

Às vezes, associamos a nomes aquilo que na realidade n são. Os Kool and the Gang são muito mais que aqueles hits foleiros que pesam nos ouvidos. Ora aqui está um bom tema, com bom som, bem tocado e que deverá valer muito bem ser escutado ao vivo.

[MurdaSoundTV]

Claydes Charles Smith (September 6, 1948 – June 20, 2006)

One of the Greatest!! R.I.P

[hevele]

total madness this is real music , OMG from 6:55

spec respekt for the lead guitar guy and of course for the triangle guy too

thx for the upload you made my day

[soapldy01]

As a fan from waaayy back, ie: black pride fairs in ny 1960 something when they were on the same ticket as Black Ivory.... This is the music.. Don't sleep on this band. They played pop in the 80's, but before that? PURE♫♫♪ Jazz & Funk. ♪♫♪

[SergioSimon]

Kimbo Slice on the guitar.

[dwoollery]

@SergioSimon LMAO!!!!!

[afroman655]

i dont see how people can dislike this video. this is real music. i wish more of my generation liked this type of music. 

[canidiate]

Apoteosico 

[fatladsarmy12]

[Floridatillidie]

Can't go wrong when you're playing the Triangle lol, seriously though this is amazing!!!

[exoticasian30]

Thumbs up if the hair on the back of your neck stood up when Rusty Hamilton III hit those keyboards.

[stjames888]

the 16 who don't like this should take a pencil to their ears

[MalcolmXTupacShakur]

Amazing is the word!

[piccinini02]

Real awesome intro.

[Awesomedavid34]

This is not the original electric guitar score, but I guess the baseline defined this song over the years. Can hardly wait for the dog days of summer. Damn the cold just won't go away in Philly this year.

[doc2skate]

When you hear this song, it's one of signs that summer is here.

[masterbate23]

the guitar solo makes me want to smoke!

[MalcolmXTupacShakur]

Charles Claydees Smith must be one of the greatest guitarist of all time, dont you agree!

[PaulPower99]

8:50

[joshvalentino]

RIP Charles Smith. This is a legendary band.

Man truly music has lost it's touch. I have no hope for the youth.

[Laytonia1977]

Pure class. They are Kool :)

[cortez2ful]

ALL HATERS NEED 2GO SIT DOWN CUZ DIS GOES HARD RIGHT CHEA!!! DIS WAT U CALL REAL MUSIC!!!

[emanboogie]

Still one of the baddest bands in the universe

[masterbate23]

[MsOntheverge]
