    Kool & the Gang is an American band formed in Jersey City, New Jersey, in 1964 by brothers Robert "Kool" Bell and Ronald Bell, with Dennis "D.T." Thomas, Robert "Spike" Mickens, Charles Smith, George Brown, and Ricky West. They have undergone numerous changes in personnel and have explored many musical styles throughout their history, including jazz, soul, funk, rock, and pop music. After settling on their name following several changes, the group signed to De-Lite Records and released their debut album, Kool and the Gang (1970).

    They're not critical darlings, and that's fair, but any album with J.T. Taylor as the singer is worth the spin and they have a metric ton of killer singles.

    Listening to In the Heart and it starts like a house of fire with the title track, "Joanna" and "Tonight" back-to-back-to-back.

    Wild and Peaceful is funky as hell and could dance to that forever.

    They truly are. Their run as a hit machine was also full of albums worth hearing.
