Kool and the Gang 2024 Rock Hall Induction Ceremony 

Anyone else get chills hearing JT again? His voice is like 1979 all over again. THANK YOU THANK YOU

JT the Voice. Finally

This is way overdue. So glad to see JT again. RIP Ronald Bell, George Brown & Dennis “Dee Tee” Thomas. Wish they were here to get their flowers.

JT in the house!! Wow, this gives a nice warm fuzzy feeling

Sing it Jt Taylor🇺🇸this performance is FIRE

Jt sounded phenomenal, having him there really makes it sound like Kool and the gang

Hearing JT voice warmed my heart. It took me back when music was, well you know. GREAT......

One of my all time favorite bands!! Nothing compares to music of the 70's and 80's. Those were the days when music was great.

A great honor for Kool and the Gang, I really enjoyed their music in the 70s and 80s. ❤

JT, PLEASE tour with Kool & The Gang again!!!

J Taylor my favor male singer of all time beautiful voice

James "J.T." Taylor is THE BEST and his voice is still AMAZING!!!!!

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.

I love hearing JT sing!!!!

I just LOVE this band. Since my youth. Glad to see them get the recognition they deserve.

WELL DESERVED KOOL AND THE GANG NOBODY DOES IT BETTER THAN THEM, THEY STILL GOT IT.💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🎤👍👍👍

They sound amazing! JT 's voice hasn't changed!

Should have been done sooner. So many membets passed before seein this. So good to see JT and the bass player

Bout damn time ✌️

I LL STILL keep dreaming to see EWF and K&GANG sharing the stage some day !! My 2 favorite bands

Thanks so much for sharing this! I was incredibly excited to hear that JT would be performing with them for this. I really miss him!! ❤🥰🔥

The sound is great! Legends!

What the hell took so long to get this group inducted? These guys are legendary!

We miss you Jt you are the best love you

Seen them over 12 yrs ago they were awesome ❤😊

Great then, great now, totally enjoyable. 😍

Legends! Congratulations!! Classic music! I see my fave and fellow inductee, Miss Mary J Blige jammin' in the front row.

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. 👏🏻👍🏻❤️🙏🏼🎷🎺🎸🎹

Finally in! up there with earth wind fire .love kool and the gang.commodores should go in too if not there.

OMG😊 JT 😍

❤❤❤The best music to dance to back in the days when we used to go club dancing!!! Will forever love it!!!

JT Back Awesome!

Love JT!!❤❤❤

Jt’ voice is blessed and annointed. So underrated. He makes Kooland the Gang. Without him in lead is just not the same.

James "JT" Taylor!!! 😍😍😍

Cool and the Gang. One of my all time favorite bands. You guys still got it. Awesome show!!!! You guys need to come back👏👍👏👍👏👍👏

Loved Kool and the Gang since the 70s ❤️🎶

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!!!!!

One of the greatest bands ever omg😊

Boy , JT sounds like it's still the 80s!!!!

Thank you so much!

JT voice is the same 😘🙏🏿

Celebration is great but they have so many great songs. They are an amazing band that deserves to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

I'm so happy to see Kool and the Gang finally get the ultimate recognition that this iconic band deserves.

I was "feeling it" on my couch watching your video!!!!! Thank you!!!!

Mannnnnnn soooo damn gooooood❤

About time they were inducted. Sound track to my high school and college years. Kool's baselines are legendary!!!

I did not know. Congrats to Kool and the Gang!

Phenomenal! My mom and I were on our feet the whole performance love it! ❤❤❤

LONG OVER DUE love Kool and the gang.

JT! ❤❤❤

Solo glad this band received this well deserved recognition!

Bell and Taylor both sound fantastic. Bravo sirs! 🎶 🏆

Nice I saw them in 2008 at The Biltmore Estate, Asheville nc, an awesome show.🥰

The Whispers should be up next

JT still sounds the same. Wow

Congrats, I Love the 1974 Jazz Hit "Summer Madness", More. Feel the Music.

Celebration was my class song in 1981.

You can see the joy in JT's face and hear it in his voice to be on stage with them again. So long overdue.

This had to be the most FUN part of the entire night

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.

GOD'S GIFTED 144OOO 😊❤

Is that Questlove playing drums? Not sure. Sure looks like his style.

🕊🌹To all of the original founding members. 📯🎷🎺🎸🥁🎹🎤

Im in high school again 😊

Hopefully a reunion with JT may happen since he’s the voice of kool and the gang

JUST GET DOWN ON IT, KOOL AND THE GANG FOREVER!

Was Mike Ray on the horns? I remember Mike from the old neighborhood. He was friends with my brother Deak.

Its time to come together.....well said......that's what she said last night.....

1st Ave MPLS Mn all over again… ♥️

THANK YOU !!!

We were in shape back then, dancing up a sweat and didn't care how our hair looked...we some of us🤭

Quest Love and the Roots were hittin on all cylinders

JT VIA PATERSON NJ

WHOO >>>HOOO

👏 🔥

?Why the wait? (Invalidates Rock Hall...)

2025 It's MAZE featuring Frankie Beverly Turn Next, Feel the Music. Induction into Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Can I Get a Witness?

JERSEY CITY VS EVERYBODY

Hollywood Swinging!

What Happened to BET

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.

Can you spot Zendaya and Law Roach dancing in the front row? 😍🥹💃🕺

I like Prince's version,,,,but this is just fine!

Poor Lou isn't in good enough health to pull it off anymore.. Love Kelly Hanson he saved the name.

They should have had more time than seven minutes!

Who else was thinking about Michael Jackson during ladies night 🥲🥲🥲

RRHOF❤

DON'T LIKED THE ANGLE SHOOT!

Kansas, still snubbed. RRHOF is a joke.

oh yes when i think of "Rock & Roll" this gay disco band comes to mind....lmao...fucking sad

Rock N Roll isn't Rock N Roll without having a tuba player in the band!! Oh wait this is disco not Rock N Roll.... My Bad!!

WTF WHY? Not even close to ROCK N ROLL!!
