The voice of James Taylor is unforgettable. He has been the true voice of the band's music. Kool and the gang's music and his voice are one thing. Beautiful musical voice.
I love it when a band performs the song in a way that honors the recording instead of sounding like a cover band playing their song. The saxophone solo and the short guitar solo are just note for note.
Gosh I miss the 80's and 90's.....they just don't make groups like this anymore. From the latest newcomers...Silk Sonic is the one that comes to mind with a true soulful band vibe. That is hard to find. Kool and the Gang is timeless and I so wish JT would perform with again.
He gave them an xtra spark like playmaker made them more successful when he came along they were already good with the Funky styles,JT came along added more from this to Peacemaker blended with everything the Gang did in musical genre makes him and them one of the Great Acts in Pop/Rock history.Hes never listed or mentioned in the greatest list category for Singers mainly Rockers
they almost stole the show I seen them in Buffalo Ny with the Mighty VH It was dave Roths idea to have they open what a great decision It was awsome everybody was groovin to the Gang and Then came the mighty Halen WHAT A SHOW i Have been a lifelong VH deciple since i was 13 in 1979 but I always loved kool and the Gang those 80s were the best . Nobody was sitting down from Gang to the end of the show with VH i have video of the whole show
@@leslielee2454In Tulsa, OK 🇺🇸 David Lee Roth decided the huge sold out indoor stadium, in the middle of summer didn’t need air conditioning & had it shut off after Kools performance. He said it “hurt his vocal chords” such a laugh because he couldn’t sing anymore. Wolfie VH displaced Michael Anthony on bass/vocals & the show was a disaster. We never cooled down afterwards sweating our butts off dancing; & left early. I did see Van Halen on their 1st US tour in ‘78 opening for Ozzy/Sabbath.
@@KittyGrizGriz vh was on fire out of the box in 78 a friend seen them in Niagara falls in 78 said it was awesome I seen them in 80 81 84 an ever since met Ed Al and wolf on 2015 tour got pix and auto went to multiple shows near Buffalo video every show I could .... good story love to hear stories you seen an awesome show
This song came out the week I was left with a sink of dirty dishes, and no where to sit and watch the space where the TV was. But I still have the Revere Ware pots!!!!
I bought this album back when it first came out. I still have it somewhere in my mom's closet. This whole album was hot. JT when joined Kool and The Gang took it to a whole new level. His voice is so smooth and recognizable. What a classic.
Great music!!! Great memories!!! Kool and The Gang is still one of my favorite groups. Their music will be enjoyed for future generations to come. 😊 🎶 🎵
This band is absolutely the BEST OF YHE BEST. J.TAYLOR.WHAT A FANTASTIC VOICE. I HAVE SO MAMY GOOD WORDS FOR THEM,ITS TOO MUCH TO YEXT. I LOVE THIS GROUP. LIVE THE SAX,ETC. J.T U R THE BEST EVER EVER. THERE SHOULD BE MORE MUSIC LIKE THIS. LOVE U ALL. MISS YOUR MUSIC SO VERY MUCH.
Kool and the gang album by the same kool and the gang (1970) and album called open sesame (1976), didn’t have any lead singers but they were jamming to great beats including the famous summer madness song (1976) …. I took a deep dive one day and realized they had more in the bag than just the albums in the late 1970s and early hits of 1980s
Se me salen las lágrimas de saber que tengo un gusto un maravilloso musical, que ya no hay música tan increíblemente preciosa como esta y de que la música basura como el reggaeton no este inundando. Como me hubiera gustado vivir en la de mi madre y disfrutar esta exquisitez. Te amo sobre todas las cosas Kool and the gang 🎺🎸🎧🎶🎶
