Kool & The Gang es una de las bandas más icónicas de la música funk, soul y R&B. La historia de esta legendaria agrupación comenzó en 1964 en Jersey City, Nueva Jersey, cuando los hermanos Robert "Kool" Bell y Ronald Bell, junto a sus amigos, decidieron formar un grupo musical. Inicialmente, se hacían llamar "The Jazziacs" y se centraban en el jazz. Sin embargo, pronto actualizaron su nombre a "Kool & The Flames" y finalmente a "Kool & The Gang" para evitar confusiones con el famoso grupo de James Brown, The Famous Flames.
Durante sus primeros años, Kool & The Gang navegó por varios géneros, incluyendo el funk y el jazz. Su álbum debut homónimo, lanzado en 1969, no fue un gran éxito comercial, pero estableció las bases de su estilo único. Durante los primeros años de la década de los 70, su popularidad empezó a aumentar, gracias a su enérgico y distintivo sonido. Canciones como "Jungle Boogie" y "Hollywood Swinging" se convirtieron en grandes éxitos en 1973, consolidando a la banda como un talento emergente en la escena musical.
La siguiente década fue clave para Kool & The Gang. En 1979, con la llegada de James "J.T." Taylor como vocalista principal, la banda comenzó a experimentar un mayor éxito comercial. El álbum "Ladies' Night" (1979) se convirtió en un hito, seguido de trabajos exitosos como "Celebrate!" (1980). La canción "Celebration" de este último

Lookin' out a dirty old window
Down below the cars in the city go rushing by
I sit here alone and I wonder why
Friday night and everyone's movin'
I can feel the heat but it's soothing heading down
I search for the beat in this dirty town
Downtown
The young ones are goin'
Downtown
The young ones are growin'
We're the kids in America whoa
We're the kids in America whoa
Everybody live for the music go round
Bright lights the music gets faster
Look girl don't check on your watch not another glance
I'm not leavin' now honey no not a chance
Hot shot shot give me no problems
Much later baby you'll be saying never mind
You know life is cruel life is never kind
Kind hearts
We'll make a new story
Kind hearts
We'll grab it in glory

Come closer honey that's better
Got to get a brand new experience feeling right
Oh don't try to stop baby hold me tight
Outside a new day is dawning
Outside suburbia's sprawling everywhere
I don't want to go baby
