Kool & The Gang ~ Summer Madness The 1974 Monster Mix
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2021
- "Summer Madness" is the song Rocky played when he fed his fish in the hit movie. It was already a jazx funk classic in 1977 with its dramatic and engaging mix of shimmering jazz that makes me think of the visual distortion you see on the roads during heatwaves, they almost look like puddles sometimes and the tension filled ARP synth performance that is couched in a totally funky and sublime drum track. They created magic.
It was the B side to "Higher Plane" and while it has become infinitely more popular even though it never charted. Sampling gave the song new life starting in 1988 with Rodney O And Joe Cooley's single “Give Me the Mic”. Since then, hip hop culture has heavily sampled the R&B classic.Even more popular now than in 1974, "Summer Madness" has been used in the 2000's in movies, video games, soundtracks and even at UFC.
The simple but intricately complex song touches just about everyone who listens to it. Man, is it hot! it is currently 27 Centigrade or 81 degrees and the low will be 21 at 11PM. The heat is driving me crazy so much so I had to put down this remix cos I didn't have the energy after working all day...it is draining! Drink lots of water, it makes a difference. I have been taking cold water baths right from the tap, and refreshing soak in spearmint scented epsom salt. In the last three weeks we will have had two nights that dropped to 57.2 F.
Anyway, I finally finished this hour long Monster Mix, it's not the one song repeated 40 some times back to back but a real remix that lasts a little over an hour. I looped a lot of the hypnotic pulsing to give the song more space to breathe and the next thing I knew I was at an hour and four minutes....and I feel like I am on a journey headphones on and eyes closed.So I present to you, the Monster Mix of Kool & The Gang's "Summer Madness" on this steamy Monday night in the middle of a heatwave that has been going on for nearly three weeks. Its a cool breeze for your ears and brain.
You won't hear another smooth jam like this again anywhere anytime in your lifetime. The year 1974 was a great Era of music. So ENJOY......
You got that right!!!
Graduated from high school in 75. I totally loved this jam then and now.
This track is a taste of life we should all take a moment to inhale - Peace ! ! !
I don't care whats going on in your life thats bad,as soon as this song comes on you're instantly in a good mood.
Wayyyyyyyyy ahead of their time..........
JUST ANSWER THIS QUESTION PEOPLE (FAM)........ CAN YOU STAND IT!??.... THIS IS SO SURREAL..OMG
I grew up on this type of music I was 11 years old when I first listen to Kool & the gang
I was also a 70's kid....great music, colourful crazy decade.
This need to be played at midnight on the radio
It was, the sign -off song almost every nite on the armed Forces network in Germany ,the rock of Frankfort 🎶🎸
@@robertgrider4346 oh ok they were jamming over there too.. And Thank you for your service
It was the midnight sign off every night for the Alan Almond Pillow Talk Show in Detroit in the 80s.
@@nonnobissolum That's the show! I was tryin' my darnedest to remember whose show that was--JBL or WWWW or something like that. I loved that drive from Flint to Ann Arbor or vice versa always hoping I'd get Alan's show--and THIS SONG! I honestly always thought it was HIS song!
send to Radio DJ hahaha, hope it works!!!
This is the Best song from the 70s and it makes me want to get my groove on
What an unbelievable vibe to drive to. Especially when you have a loooong drive.
This takes me back to my middle school summer vacation nights after supper. Back before I started down the slippery slope.
This is an whole other excursion into the land of Trippin' ... Chillin' ... Loungin' ... enjoyin' EVERY minnit of it... Yeah...
If I want a song to last forever I go to you 🥰
Perfect!
This song is really giving me that Higher Vibrational Consciousness .. In the state of Awareness...
When kool and his gang was great
kool and the gang summer madness for an hour? HELL YEAH!!!
I'm in absolute awe, this is the most wonderful surprise I could've gotten on this warm summer morning. This song takes me somewhere spiritually that I can't even describe, flooding my mind with a beautiful array of emotions that almost make me tear up. I like to close my eyes and absorb every note of this masterpiece. The fact that these guys were putting this kinda stuff out in *1974* just blows my mind. This is one of the most timeless pieces of music, and it's aged like the finest bottle of whiskey. Now, excuse me as I transcend to a higher plane.
Go for it transcend and enjoy the beautiful music 👍🏼👍🏼📻😎
Love it also: my warm memoires are the same, just another landschap. We learned Bridge, played Risk, took a ‘biertje’ in the cornershop, a stroll in the park and just Great friendschap🥰
You're excused. Now, excuse me while I join you as we transcend together...
Amen to that. So well put.
Authentic spiritual travel.

This was one of the greatest sign off songs from the Armed Forces Radio Station, out of Frankfort Germany, the "rock of Frankfort" music to get you thru your "your of duty"most guys coming from 'nam that still had some time to do got shipped to Deutschland to finish their military commitment ,& get back to the world 🎶🎸🥁'71- '80 Uncle Sugar's army 👍🇺🇸 ......yep & still listening to Kool & the Gang in 2021 my nigga's ✊
Never stop loving this track and Winter Sadness too. Pure class...timeless.
Anybody here at the end 2023 jamming this loop ❤
High school graduation 1974! Pure soul!
My Thinking & Concentration Song! SHOUT OUT FROM DETROIT!!!❤
Surprising but pleasant from this group cataloged funky whereas at the base it is above all a formation of jazz musicians. I recommend this piece to everyone to have in their musical disco.
I remember this song being used in the movie Rocky , very cool 😎
50 years on and still a masterpiece. I love all kinds of music and summer madness is one for the records. What a beautiful masterpiece way, way ahead of it's time.
I remember when hear that song I was in an 25 cents basement party in 1974 and I never forgotten that song I still listen to Kool and The Gang Summer Madness that my song
This is pure caviar 🙌🏻
Love this Song my God ❤️❤️😍😍😍
Love, love, love, my youth, first or second year of college, those were the days, if we had only appreciated them more than we did at the time. The old final, good friends, learning, growing, being, the good all days

Yes This is a summer classic like no other if you come from the era I come from this is always on the playlist every summer and that’s when you know summer is here and the backyard barbecue to the deck of the pool and of the boats it’s in a white sandy beaches the summer night balcony wine tastings and just good old friends chilling Man when this song is played life was simple and when is played now it takes you back to simplicity this is an all-time favorite for anyone who really understands summertime in the city or summertime anywhere we’re friends and family gather just to be around each other
just the right touch on the hi-hat - the snare - the bass drum, the guitar playing within the gang,, creating a feeling of hope, as the keyboard/synthesizer takes us out of this world, all the while that nasty ass bass guitar keeps us grounded in that funked up groove...Kool and the Gang Summer Madness, tellin the world everythings gunna be ok, IF we get the devil out of our way and let the true Gods lead. THANK YOU God's for giving us this timeless GEM...
❤❤❤❤❤
@blacksilence7968 thank you brother so let it be written so let it be done get up and out baalzebub cause the house of israel be waking up
Woooooaaahh
Cool...Monster Mix..Top!!!
This was and still is one of the smoothest jams ever!
As a teen, I was shocked to discover that this cut was from a group that produced so much funk back in the day. Just goes to show you how versatile (and in my opinion underrated) Kool and the Gang was.
Thanks, Cat for this super extended version. This is great unwinding/relaxation music.
Certainly a masterpiece that will never be surpassed ❤
Let's keep it simple. THE BEST remix. THE BEST extended version of this song 🎵.
I've been listening for two days. I have long commutes and this vibe sets the tone for driving.
Thank you. 🤙😎✌
Yes!!!!
Ici il n'y a pas d'été, c'est ça la madness 🤷🏻♂️

Nothing is greater ,this is and ends and not the beginning forever love 🎉 summer madness but gladness....

Wow. Kool and the Gang, what musicianship, what focus...to have played this song for over an hour without a break or missing a beat or a note. Amazing!
This is very cool, definitely appropriate for the weather we're having. Stay cool but look warm everyone...
I bought a Kool and the Gang album many years ago after DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince released their sampled ode, I bought the double album just for this groove. It was never long enough ha. Thank you
I see somebody else cant get enough of this timeless tune. I just finished listening to and thoroughly enjoying all one hour four minutes and forty seconds of your brilliant rendition of this classic tune. I really like what you did with this song,
Cruisin' ... Chillin' ... Loungin' ...
On Repeat the entire dawn to sunset
A mixture of bliss and nostalgy. Strange feeling. Thanx Cat-
The kool-aid music 🎶 we love the world 🌎 and your beautiful music God bless you so Rip 🙏 ❤ 💙 😢
WTF! One of my top 5 tunes of all time is now here and it's over an hour long?? 😂
Big love DiscoCat!
I can say, a mellowing, instrumental, masterpiece that can take you to a special place with the calming of your mind and spirit. This classical piece of music, is a selection that continues to be a part of your memory. Enjoy the peace and serenity from all the worldly troubles, that many of us are now facing.
Music is medicine! 🎸🎹🕊
I love this song since the very first time I heard it.
It was also played in the documentary "I believe in miracles" about Brian Clough's Nottingham Forest in late 70s.
reminds me all too well of the best time I ever had being alive, early 70's, I died in 75 after I lost my one and only love ,............................................................................................................................................... . I'm lost.
La acabo de descargar en un USB y sonará siempre en mi carro. Me transmite una increíble sensación de paz.Adoro esta melodía.
Incredible
To paraphrase some of the young kids I've heard: "MANE, this ish on fire!" Thank you for taking the time to do this. This music soothes the soul, makes me happy, chilled, relaxed, and thankful to God for the gift of sound, music, life, and love. I hope somebody else can understand the headspace I'm in right now. God is love, and music joins us all. Dila Joaglou Satchi.
just right in time MrDisco Cat ;) love the whole story and description you write for the remix , cheers ! 🥂🌇

It is my conception that this music is so sexy and slow. Thanks for a great stimulating sound.
