Amazon.com The acid-jazzers of the '90s could learn a thing or five from the pre-"Ladies Night" Kool and the Gang. They were one of the tightest funk acts around, and this best-of finds them leaping from highlight to highlight. While their lyrics are sometimes just (admittedly sage) chants like "Love the Life You Live," the Gang also earn A-plusses for brashness ("Jungle Boogie," "Spirit of the Boogie"), tongue-in-cheek self-aggrandizement ("Hollywood Swinging"), and surreal antiheroin ranting ("Rhyme Tyme People"). --Rickey Wright
Ok, growin up in the nation's capital I remember going to the "Friday night" dance at the local community center and the dj put on "Kool & The Gang" (the first single). All of us were dancing. (jr high shcool dayz). Kool & The gang was puttin out some FONKAY Stuff man. I mean, "Who's gonna take the weight", "Chocolate Buttermilk" "Let the Music take Your Mind". And the drummer George was not bull crappin on those drums man. This is my favorite era of Kool & The Gang. I did not care from them after "Ladies night". Not hating "Celebrate" or the other songs but in my opinion they sounded like that thier funk card had been revoked. Of course "Get Down On It" was a great record, but nothing like the early days. My favorite is "Love The Life You Live". I love the entire song with it's jazz horn line and plusating beat. Those were the days.
