The KayGees - Kilowatt (12" Extended Version) (1978)

[ChowMeinChowdown]

Backbeat sounds like that in Bodyshine.

[tmat1973]

This is dope!



[elvispreseli]

I've got this on 7". Love the horns in this and that fat bass!

[TheRetroWoman80]

I saw this vinyl record in my family collection for years. I see why they still have it sitting there. The 70s bass heavy disco sound drives me crazy!!

[soulglider1]

This was one of the original break beats in the beginnings of hip hop. However "Space Disco" had more recognition off this album 'cuz of its use in Saturday Night Fever. Man, I used to love this album.

[busythinker1]

I have this LP and use to play it alot. I notice this LP had more dance style music.......

I never though of Mandrill influence but as I listen now oh yea. Tango Hustle. Maybe because I'm old school the music back in the days was alot better. I guess my father said the same thing about my the 70's,80, and 90's music. Thanks for having putting it on the tube. Peace.

[SweetLeaf666]

Dope track. Nice diggin'.

The Killowatt Album was the only Album that we produced ourselves without the influence of Kool & the Gang. Every song was pure and original.

[Shivante83]

I used to listen to this album, so much I put it on a old school funk mix tape. I'm just 31 and was listening to this at 17. Good sounds.
