SEYEBONOMUSIC's video: Summer Madness - Kool The Gang - 1974

Formed as a jazz ensemble in the mid-'60s, Kool & the Gang became one of the most inspired and influential funk units during the '70s, and one of the most popular R&B groups of the '80s after their breakout hit "Celebration" in 1979. Just as funky as James Brown or Parliament (and sampled almost as frequently), Kool & the Gang relied on their jazz backgrounds and long friendship to form a tightly knit group with the interplay and improvisation of a jazz outfit, plus the energy and spark of a band with equal ties to soul, R&B, and funk. Selling over 70 million albums worldwide, influencing the music of three generations, thanks to songs like Celebration, Cherish, Jungle Boogie, Summer Madness and Open Sesame; they've earned two Grammy Awards, seven American Music Awards, 25 Top Ten R&B hits, nine Top Ten Pop hits, and 31 gold and platinum albums. Kool & The Gang has performed continuously for the past 35 years, longer than any R&B group in history. ---- Website: http://koolandthegang.com/ Cocert Dates & Tickets: http://koolandthegang.com/concerts/ Music: http://koolandthegang.com/music/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Simonmoremusic/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/koolnthegnglive/status/896483440748638209 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/koolandthegang/?hl=en ---- Summer Madness Writers: Dennis “D.T.” Thomas, Robert Spike Mickens, Ronald Bell, Alton Taylor, Ricky West, George Brown, Robert Bell, Claydes Smith ---- Licensed by: UMG (on behalf of Island Def Jam); CMRRA, EMI Music Publishing, SOLAR Music Rights Management, Warner Chappell, and 8 Music Rights Societies -------------- Cinemagraph: SANDI POINTE Modifications: AO -------------- Tech Mods: Oki -------------- SEYEBONOMUSIC ♪♫: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-BD...
