Still Kool After All These Years — Kool & The Gang Turns 50

Horn-driven jazz, soul, R&B, funk and disco – since forming as a jazz ensemble in the mid-60s, Kool and the Gang have done it all. Their grooves have endured like few others, sampled by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince (“Summertime”), Nas (“It Ain’t Hard to Tell”) and Janet Jackson (“You Want This”) among countless others, while “Get Down On it” and “Celebration” are peerless as party mix staples.
