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

Unappreciated
"Unappreciated"
[Chorus:]
I'm feeling really unappreciated.
Your takin` my love for granted, babe.
and I don't know how much more,
I can take from you.
You don't do the things you use to do.
You don't even say I love you too.
And lately I've been feeling,
Feeling unappreciated.
[Verse 1:]
Woke up this morning and saw your face
And you didn't look the same as yesterday.
I got the feeling that you can't seem to see,
Where you want to be.
And lately it ain't been the same at all.
When you're here its like I'm invisible
I still can't seem to see where I went wrong.
Cause I'm feeling
[Chorus:]
I'm feeling really unappreciated.
Your takin` my love for granted, babe.
and I don't know how much more,
I can take from you.
You don't do the things you use to do.
You don't even say I love you too.
And lately I've been feeling,
Feeling unappreciated.
[Verse 2:]
Lately our house is not a home
You come in, take a shower and then say I'm gone.
What am I to do
When my heart says leave
But my feet won't move
And today is our anniversary
And you haven't even said two words to me
I'm trying hard to give you another chance
But ooh baby I'm feeling
I'm feeling really unappreciated.
Your takin` my love for granted, babe.
and I don't know how much more,
I can take from you.
You don't do the things you use to do.
You don't even say I love you too.
And lately I've been feeling,
Feeling unappreciated.
[Verse 3:]
Oh when I first met you
I thought you was the most perfect man
That I ever seen
I still don't understand why
You treat me like you do
I use to give into your lies
But now I see the truth
Oh no I don't want to hear it I'm through
Yea I know I'll still be missing you
But it's not worth the pain
That I've gained from you
You make me feel
Unappreciated
[Chorus:]
I'm feeling really unappreciated.
Your takin` my love for granted, babe.
and I don't know how much more,
I can take from you.
You don't do the things you use to do.
You don't even say I love you too.
And lately I've been feeling,
Feeling unappreciated.
Don't love me no more
Heeey wooo hooo
I'm really feeling unappreciated.
I'm feeling unappreciated
