@@bsquared4604 NO JT= No hall of Fame, Period. Jungle boogie and hollywood swinging are 2 good songs, but EVERYTHING JT SINGS IS GOLD. He gave them their fame and popularity.
No body was talking about them entering the Rock & Roll HOF but they killed it. 70's, 80's 90's and 20's. I was a teenager in Brooklyn,NY. Congratulations to my NYC band. Well deserve. So happy for them.
When I heard Kool & the Gang were on the ballot this year, I made sure I voted every day & told friends & family to vote too. So many great songs. For my 18th birthday, I went to FL to visit my Aunt & Uncle; they took me out to Smugglers Inn, bought me my first legal drink & had the DJ play Celebration for me. They sound fantastic! Congratulations Kool & the Gang. Long overdue & deserving of this induction. I know members of the band who have earned their wings were singing, playing & dancing in heaven. 👏🏻👍🏻❤️🙏🏼🎷🎺🎸🎹
I'm watching this fighting back tears, so many of the band members are no longer hear, they didn't sale 70 million records 20 years ago, they've been around for 60 years. This is well overdue. BRAVO!!!!!
How in the hell is Michael Ray (trumpet) not part of this induction and performance group??!! He joined in 1979 and still performs with them! I met and played with Michael in the late 1990s during his hiatus but he was with Kool from ‘79-‘91 and then ‘07- to present. He deserves to be honored!!
Great to see JT back with the Gang. Saw Kool & The Gang Live in Nottingham (UK) back in 1989 but JT wasn't the vocalist at that time, which was a bit disappointing, so hoping for a series of dates now that features JT! Will definitely go to one or two of the shows! Legendary group.
@@LJ2000Phen1 they are going to tour which includes JT; search for the interview that was on GMA last week. I live in CT & they are going to be at one of the casinos on 12/27; guess where I’m going….
4:17. I'm hearing bass line and Robert is waving to the crowd. As a bassist myself, this disappoints me. He clearly wasn't playing. Congratulations to them for getting this honor, (and great to see JT), but c'mon Kool, , you weren't playing, and that's ok bruh, I'm not mad at you, but don't be faking it.
