█ █ comments : █ █
█ █ Formed as a jazz ensemble in the █ █
█ █ mid-'60s, Kool & the Gang became one of █ █
█ █ the most inspired and influential funk █ █
█ █ units during the '70s, and one of the █ █
█ █ most popular R&B groups of the '80s █ █
█ █ after their breakout hit "Celebration" █ █
█ █ in 1979. Just as funky as James Brown or █ █
█ █ Parliament (and sampled almost as █ █
█ █ frequently), Kool & the Gang relied on █ █
█ █ their jazz backgrounds and long █ █
█ █ friendship to form a tightly knit group █ █
█ █ with the interplay and improvisation of █ █
█ █ a jazz outfit, plus the energy and spark █ █
█ █ of a band with equal ties to soul, R&B █ █
█ █ and funk. █ █
█ █ Robert "Kool" Bell and his brother █ █
█ █ Ronald (or Khalis Bayyan) grew up in █ █
█ █ Jersey City, New Jersey, and picked up █ █
█ █ the music bug from their father. A █ █
█ █ professional boxer, he was also a █ █
█ █ serious jazz lover and a close friend of █ █
█ █ Thelonious Monk. With Robert on bass and █ █
█ █ Ronald picking up an array of horns, the █ █
█ █ duo formed the Jazziacs in 1964 with █ █
█ █ several neighborhood friends: trombone █ █
█ █ player Clifford Adams, guitarists █ █
█ █ Charles Smith and Woody Sparrow, █ █
█ █ trumpeter Robert "Spike" Michens, alto █ █
█ █ saxophonist Dennis Thomas, keyboard █ █
█ █ player Ricky West and drummer Funky █ █
█ █ George Brown (all of whom, except █ █
█ █ Michens and West, still remained in the █ █
█ █ group more than 30 years later). █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ The growing earthiness of soul inspired █ █
█ █ the Jazziacs to temper their jazz █ █
█ █ sensibilites with rhythms more akin to █ █
█ █ R&B, and the newly renamed Soul Town █ █
█ █ Band began playing clubs in Greenwich █ █
█ █ Village. After a mix-up with a club █ █
█ █ owner resulted in the group being billed █ █
█ █ Kool & the Flames, they moderated the █ █
█ █ title to Kool & the Gang and found a leg █ █
█ █ up with the tiny De-Lite Records. Three █ █
█ █ singles from their self-titled debut █ █
█ █ album hit the pop charts, and although █ █
█ █ the position wasn't incredibly high, █ █
█ █ Kool & the Gang became a quick success █ █
█ █ on the R&B charts. Always a staple of █ █
█ █ their appeal, the group's live act was █ █
█ █ documented on two 1971 LPs, Live at the █ █
█ █ Sex Machine and Live at P.J.'s, █ █
█ █ including left-field covers of "Walk on █ █
█ █ By" and "Wichita Lineman" (as well as █ █
█ █ the not so unusual "I Want to Take You █ █
█ █ Higher"). █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ Studio albums followed in 1972 and 1973, █ █
█ █ but it was with Kool & the Gang's sixth █ █
█ █ LP, Wild and Peaceful, that they hit the █ █
█ █ big time. "Funky Stuff" became their █ █
█ █ first Top 40 hit at the end of 1973. █ █
█ █ Then both "Jungle Boogie" and "Hollywood █ █
█ █ Swinging" reached the pop Top Ten. █ █
█ █ During the next four years, however, █ █
█ █ Kool & the Gang could only manage an █ █
█ █ occasional Top 40 hit ("Higher Plane," █ █
█ █ "Spirit of the Boogie"), and though they █ █
█ █ did win a Grammy award for "Open Sesame" █ █
█ █ (from the Saturday Night Fever █ █
█ █ soundtrack), the rise of disco ù a █ █
█ █ movement centered around producers and █ █
█ █ vocalists, in direct contrast to the █ █
█ █ group's focus on instrumentalists ù had █ █
█ █ appeared to end their popularity. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ Then, in 1979, the group added two new █ █
█ █ vocalists, Earl Toon, Jr. and, more █ █
█ █ importantly, James "J.T." Taylor, a █ █
█ █ former Jersey nightclub singer. Kool & █ █
█ █ the Gang also began working with jazz █ █
█ █ fusion arranger Eumir Deodato, who █ █
█ █ produced their records from 1979 to █ █
█ █ 1982. The first such album, Ladies █ █
█ █ Night, was their biggest hit yet, the █ █
█ █ first of three consecutive platinum █ █
█ █ albums, with the Top Ten singles "Too █ █
█ █ Hot" and the title track. Celebrate!, █ █
█ █ released in 1980, spawned Kool & the █ █
█ █ Gang's only number one hit, █ █
█ █ "Celebration," an anthem favored by █ █
█ █ innumerable wedding receptions since. █ █
█ █ With Deodato, the group produced several █ █
█ █ more hits, including the singles "Take █ █
█ █ My Heart (You Can Have It If You Want █ █
█ █ It)," "Get Down on It" and "Big Fun," █ █
█ █ and the albums Something Special in 1981 █ █
█ █ and As One a year later. After Deodato █ █
█ █ left the fold in late 1982, Kool & the █ █
█ █ Gang proved their success wasn't solely █ █
█ █ due to him; they had two immense hits █ █
█ █ during 1984-85 ("Joanna" and "Cherish"), █ █
█ █ as well as two more Top Tens, "Misled" █ █
█ █ and "Fresh." The group's string of seven █ █
█ █ gold or platinum records continued until █ █
█ █ 1986's Forever, after which James "J.T." █ █
█ █ Taylor amicably left the group for a █ █
█ █ solo career. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ Although Taylor did reasonably well with █ █
█ █ his solo recordings (many of which were █ █
█ █ produced by Ronald Bell), Kool & the █ █
█ █ Gang quickly sank without him. They █ █
█ █ replaced Taylor with three vocalists, █ █
█ █ Skip Martin (formerly of the Dazz Band), █ █
█ █ Odeen Mays and Gary Brown, but failed to █ █
█ █ chart their albums Sweat (1989) and █ █
█ █ Unite (1993). Taylor finally returned to █ █
█ █ the group in 1995 for the release of a █ █
█ █ new album, State of Affairs. █ █
