This is maybe the shortest Kool & The Gang song on record. It says so much in such a short time. It is true "Less is more."

@BridgetR72 I was still in my teens - 15 years old, to be exact. Anyhow, they had a jazz/funk style that we appreciated back then. I really wish that groups would return to including instrumentals in their repertoires, like Kool & the Gang, EWF. We would pay to see these bands perform the non-vocals as much as we would pay to hear the vocals. What has happened over the years?

Wow. Forgot all about this track. I'm 50. I wore this groove out when it came out. This whole album I found fascinating. Use to listen to it alone, headphones, in my room. Musta been 13/14 or so. Living in Germany. Didn't have any friends into funk/Kool. Lookin at all these comments regarding this album makes me feel like cryin. I had no idea others were similarly moved. The internet is amazing. (A blessing AND a curse). Oh,well. Peace to all.

@paulph12002 This album was one of my favorites in college, I wore it out. All the songs are so good, the title cut my favorite. Bought this on CD a few years ago and loved it all over again. When "Celebration" came out, the radio stations played it to death, so much so that I cannot listen to it if it comes on the radio now. Agree this is better than their later commercial songs. Out of those I do like "Fresh" because you hardly ever hear it and have always liked "Ladies Night."

I thought Pete was doing those snare breaks. LOL!!!!!! I shulda read the credits. And I call myself a producer. LOL!

This song shows how they were capable of so much more than their later cheesy commercial songs like Celebrate, Cherish, Ladies Night, etc.
