Get down on it live - Kool & the Gang

[kUnit90]

THIS IS MUSIC NOT THE TRASH FROM TODAY!!!!!!!!

[eiscreme11]

Singer reminds me of Carlton from the fresh prince of Bel Air

[536974]

curto esse som todos os dias, é uma canção que transforma tristeza em alegria..... o ritimo é contagiante, os caras tão de parabéns.

[VangelisPatilas]

That was great!!

[sijfdin]

love it when the sax come in ...

[KillerQueen586]

JT Taylor is needed! :)

[dixiejewell]

@KillerQueen586 seems like ur the only one, beside's me that caught that!!!!! J.T. Taylor is Kool and the Gang!!

[MrMneves]

Nem tenho palavras grande show verdadeiras profissionais e grandes musicos pelos menos tocam porque agora é o que se sabe. LOVE YOU KOOL & GANG.

[schoschie]

Oh, it was in 2000, so only 20 years old then. But still.

[schoschie]

That's a pretty good and fresh performance considering the track is 30 years old.

[qatadah3]

This is f*cking wonderful!  Brings back so many memories

[536974]

é uma música que marcou época, e não tem como ficar sem ouvir......

[pacatrue]

5 of the original band members are on the stage (Kool on bass, Khalim on sax; DT on sax; Charles on guitar; George on drums, percussion on this tune; look for the ones over 50); otherwise, they've hired people to fill the slots. Piano player and trumpet have died (guitarist has also died since this video; RIP, Charles). JT, the singer from the 80s, is still alive, but he left the band a decade ago.

[Dutil35]

i dont think its the original singer of the group, why did they replace him? was he dead?

[brankozab2]

How can one stand on a wall?

[crnogor]

This is dezastor , not an old bend I use to lowe !

[danbo1984]

Anyone remembered that Fresh Prince episode when Carlton painted his head for Halloween? Lol that's the first thing that came to mind, they look so similar. But great performance though.

[thnks4thecrml]

[rebiyamorte]

[askbob77]

[TheAnunnakiknowledge]

This still my jam and its 2011 LOL !!

[MrSmbass1]

This type of music brings people together. Need more funk these days. You can't be in a bad mood and listen to this stuff. It smacks you and says look bitch.... just smile and have a good time. Cheers

[4985alan]

@MrSmbass1

[4985alan]

I agree

[MrSmbass1]

@4985alan Thanks for replying. Haha don't get too many of those. My first thumbs up too. Damn nice people for being on youtube. Music is one of the most beautiful things on earth. Moves you like the winds move the oceans ya know? Its gives us energy and hope at times. Such a great power.

[dricaboy12]

Who is the guy which is singing?

[mitrekasatata1987]

cool..let's dance..fantastic..superb !!

[fabsr242]

the sound, style, and class, just not the same! i saw them live in the late 70's, they were awesome! this just can't compare.

[razvistancutz]

the sax player is a god

[masterbate23]

@razvistancutz my favorite part

[prem73]

The lead singer sounds different but melodious in this clip.

[JayByrd53]

@prem73 The original singer and man that was "the voice" for Kool and the Gang was my "homeboy" James Warren Taylor (a.k.a., "JT"). This guy is ok for the moment but there was only one "J. T."..............

[joycejazzy2008]

This Real Fukking Music!!! Get'cha Back up Off the Wall......Yeaaaaa

[mondeost2202008]

OOOOOOOooohhhhh YEEEEAAAHHHHHHHYYYYYY!!!!!!

[wapsyed]

they came to ribeirão preto, brazil but i didn't go there -.-

[hevele]

okay spend one hour with this i think i am going to ebay to buy this dvd :))

[coritiba1909]

They played tonight here in Curitiba,PR, Brazil.

Superb!

[MsCassie2323]

Who is the lead singer with the blond hair, I know this is not James Taylor and are those the original Kool and the Gang members?

[horacioligeiro]

Gostei muito deste show os caras são demais.

Vai ter show deles em Ribeirão Preto dia 30 de abril de 2011.

Vamos aproveitar para ver o que ainda resta de bom na música.

[romangeveler]

Saw them two times in germany! Great! The best are earth wind & fire, but i love Katg too!! Great video!

[moeve9]

Look At 1:43, White Person Tryin' Tah Be black

[vasek1UK]

so where is our James Taylor's not a voice that is missing in there but otherwise great

[cjs33139]

Where is the lead singer I am familiar with, that sang this song with the group back then? I hate when 80s groups try to recoup their glory but its not the same without the vocalists that made the group famous. Why bother. I could understand replacing drummers but not the singers. Just my opinion. I grew up on K and the G.

[Tas0r]

I listen to this while quickscoping.

[PMOREANOV]

really good music

[munchkette]

HELLLL YEAH!!! ;D

[lance1jcubsfan]

Has anyone noticed if this in fact James Taylor or JF singing, I'd say a big, negatory, and whomever it is, does not have the rich base voice, but a mousey lousey voice, and whomever these other imposters are, it's weak all around.

[robbosps]

@lance1jcubsfan - have a quick loo into theor history. JT left in 1975, and this ws written afterwards. I had a quick read, and it seems they have been mixed up lots over the years.

[SAXYRIC359]

@robbosps JT DID NOT LEAVE IN 75, HE WAS NOT EVEN IN THE GROUP IN 75

[SAXYRIC359]

@lance1jcubsfan THERE ARE AT LEAST 6 ORIGINAL MEMBERS ON THE STAGE HERE, I MEAN ORIGINAL!!

[1964happygolucky]

high energy to the max. 

[herexpressions2]

Keeley says WOW!!!!!

From:HOUSEWIVES OF MISSISSIPPI( video)

[fabor360]

[avinstallations]

[bcarls347]

[SethVandenberg]

@psychoticmondays You wish to be black ? Okay, Hummm, First ya gotta get a White girl friend . If you're a RICH black guy, then ya marry a BEAUTIFUL White blond bimbo. It ain't the whole deal but a damn good start :)

[David200k]

@psychoticmondays

You don't have to be black to be "bro", yu no.... ;)

[suckmypupil]

@psychoticmondays Well then, you're fucking pathetic.

[trufflesrheaven]

They sound great, but the original singer sounds better:)

[ozzieblink]

Do the other ladies in the house find it rather erotic all those yummy men dancing --- god I wish I was there !!!!!

[secorneli1202]

looks like one hella party...can't sit still to this funk

[edukusunoki]

Could somebody upload "Ladies night" from this concert? It´s been removed and I can´t find it!

[MRSAXMICKVASTA]

THIS IS WHAT I CALL MUSIC FROM THE HEART... THAT WILL NEVER EVER DIE.. MUSIC FROM THE SOUL ..

MR SAX MICK VASTA

[cmMerlin]

Wow! That's a different look.. respect to the Bell Brothers. You know! ;-)

[Riplay4]

[liziyoru]

@Riplay4 Qué danonde? Qué danone? Qué danone? /o/

[Mingman100]

This is the phattest shit Eva from any artist yeeeaaahhh!!!!

[nazarbandi]

funk religon....

[catchdaweasel]

how i wish i couldve been there to see them

[jhonnyflea]

Now this is MUSIC ! GET DOWN ON IT !

[CharlesNigro]

I didn't know Sisqo had time to sing with Kool and the Gang....

[BON2754]

BlueのGet down on it しか知らなかったけど、聞いた感じではこちらの方が原曲みたいで­すね。

何れにしてもノリの良い曲です。

[RoderickBorst]

i grew up with Rap and hip-hop (im 23), but i love listening to music like this and music like Earth Wind And Fire, Frank Sinatra, Bill Withers, Marving Gaye, Queen etc.

A qoute i love from Steve Harvey "If you aint old school, you dont really know whats happening" if it wasnt for music like this. We wouldnt have most of the music we have today.

[305MiamiDave]

OMFG that was some of the sickest, baddest, mofo shit Ive heard in a long time. Talent at its best. I truly believe these guys are legend.

[WowLock18]

This is REAL MUSIC.

[drowndeep1]

@WowLock18 ....agree 100%!!!!

[apakukin]

hahaha!!! Out of 1.2 million views there are 42 DISLIKES!!! .. I wonder if they are goths? And if they are, why would they be watching this?? (no offence to goths :-p) I say bring back the funk!

[1980Triumph]

@apakukin

43 dislikes because JT isn't singing

[JakeJax]

@1980Triumph

Not a good reason to dislike it. JT rocks. So does Shawny Mac. Kool and the Gang was great with JT, and is still great.

[erand16]

very ketchy easy to get stuck in your head but this song is awsome

[87DiscoGirl]

Funk still lives on.

[TheBOOM909]

JT, PUT THE KOOL IN THE GANG.

[TheBOOM909]

NO JT, NO KOOL AND THE GANG ITS JUST THE GANG.

[JakeJax]

@TheBOOM909

Well since Kool is still in the group, I think they can still say it's Kool and the Gang.

[cjs33139]

@TheBOOM909 agreed. no JT, not K and the G. Just some no name singing along, as if doing Karoke. Bring back JT!!!!

[frazierjac1]

This whole video in incredible. How did music get where it is today?? Nothing like this is around anymore. It's all packaged and electronically enhanced. I feel sorry for the kids today. Everyone sounds the same!! We need to go back to good raw dance music with people that know how to sing.

[julhomerda1]

SON: MOM GIVE ME MY PISTOL

MOM: WHY SON?

SON: IM GOING TO KILL 41 PEOPLES, THEY DONT LIKE THIS SONG
