  • @lldpro Me too! I wish somebody would post the track entitled "Kool & The Gang."

  • @freddypknight Do you have their 1st LP Kool and the Gang

  • @sp4armyguy, I used to own the 1st LP on vinyl along with probably K & The Gang's first 6 LPs. It's a long story when talking about how my massive LP collection got away from me. For the last 25 years, I've been basically trying to replace my missing, old LPs with CDs. I have three, different, K & The Gang compilation CDs. The track "Kool & The Gang," is on one of them: "K & The G Spin Their Top Hits."

  • @freddypknight I thought that it was posted here already.?

  • @sp4armyguy, I can't find the song entitled, "Kool & The Gang" here on youtube. Lucky for me, though, I own it on CD.

  • This was the flip side of Let The Music Take Your Mind from 69 - and BOTH sides are funky!

  • Aside from Summer Madness , this is one of my all time favortie jams man .. Rock on !!!

  • I was in a little 'basement band' in queens at this time and I played tenor sax at the time - the only female I knew of who did so.

    I loved the sax solo - used it as an intro to

    my music teacher at college. Thank you, thank you for putting this up!!!

  • All kinds of waves of pleasure are rolling thru my body as I listen to these old (Real) Kool & The Gang tunes. I played tenor sax in a basement band, too, back in the very early 70's. It's amazing how I can somehow remember every horn line and solo. I 'm singing them along with the record as it plays! What a feeling. Robert Bell's solo is fantastic. That syncopation is brilliant.

  • Pete Rock...Straightin it out!!

  • watch?v=OEWkKWDwbPw&feature=re­lated

  • Straighten it out horns!! I used to listen to this album when I was little...

  • we're talking '69

  • (rapsmackcrates) these are the very old kool & the gang music that i thought were long gone from the old days! i don't know where you found them, but i'm glad that you did. what are we talking--1972?

  • oooh man, these horns drive me insane!!!! one of the best funk tracks EVER<<< THANK YOU!!!!!!

  • Lovely horns
