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
