How can we not mention their debut album &#8220;Kool And The Gang&#8221; (1969) or &#8220;Let the Music Take Your Mind&#8221; (1970).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Soon their <i>Funk<\/i> ceased to be music exclusively for street kids and became the soundtrack of <b>disco<\/b> dancing. We are in the <b>seventies<\/b>, the era of house parties with the family living room converted into a dance floor, where the special effects were nothing more than simple light bulbs flashing on and off.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In the legendary <b>eighties<\/b>, <b>Kool &#038; The Gang<\/b> are still there, accompanying us to the notes of Celebration, Cherish, Jungle Boogie, and the beautiful Too Hot, also covered by the extraordinary Lisa Stansfield.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">From the <b>&#8217;70s<\/b> to the <b>&#8217;80s<\/b>, things changed. Discos dressed up emulating the style of <i>Studio 54<\/i>, the lights became increasingly sophisticated. Mobile phones were still science fiction, something similar was only seen in the Star Trek series, there was no such thing as saying &#8220;I&#8217;ll call you when I arrive&#8221; but you had to arrange precisely at X o&#8217;clock at the usual place, CDs were unknown, you danced in the evening from ten until 1:30 AM at the latest, or on Saturday afternoon. This wonderful group formed by Ronald Bell, his brother Robert &#8220;Kool&#8221; Bell and friends Robert &#8220;Spike&#8221; Mickens, Dennis &#8220;Tee Dee&#8221; Thomas, Ricky Westfield, George Brown, and finally Charles Smith would give life to one of the most enduring and prolific bands from the <b>&#8217;70s<\/b> to today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The band &#8220;Kool &#038; The Gang&#8220;, with one hundred million records sold, is among the most prestigious in music history.
