I've got massive respect and admiration for these guys. What a legacy. Been a fan since I was a kid. They wrote the book on how to be commercial entertainers while maintaining rock solid artistic integrity simultaneously.
I appreciate how together and close as a group they have been down through the years. Such a wonderful group of positive people. A great example of strength and unity.
Simply Amazing Kool and The Gang you have done more than you set out to do. You are definitely , A roll model to all generations. Love your Music and how Kindhearted to other you are . I am blessed to see This video. I have been aBig Fan from the 70 th until now. Loved every song every albums, and the shows I have seen. I am blessed to see you guys on UTube all over the world . I have gone all the way back to the start then till now 2019. You were Awesome before JT . But with JT Amazing hit a new level of Awesome,I Love JT Voice. You guys were better Together, you had magic and looked like you All had so much FUN together.. I feel you were a big Loving Family and not just a group. I hated when JT left the group, but I understand he wanted to live his dreams. But JT and Kool The Gang came back together 1996 😊 salute to the ladies ! I saw you guys on the Oprah Winfrey show! With JT. On Oprah show you talk about JT Taylor with Kool and the Gang back together!😎 I was so happy. I watched a lot on UTube your Travel with JT in 1996-1999? Over seas and here on BET. It is 2019 Kool your travels has been great . We Love You and The Gang . JT will always be one of The Gang. I was very sad to learn that Charles Smith, Spike Micken and Clifford Adam RIP😢 I see you Robert Kool Bell in every show even when I don’t see the other some time at a show . This group is highly appreciate for all 50 plus years. May God continue to bless each and everyone of you and your families. . It would be A blessing to see you reunite together with JT again . You would sellout all over world to see this! In 2019 , he I have not seen DT pray he is ok . A
Your mission was 1000% accomplished! You are all my youth, unforgettable moments in the discotheques.you are simply exceptional.you have marked the 80's like no one else.when I think of the past,nostalgia sets in thinking of the magnificent moments spent on your tracks! I have been to almost all your concerts in Switzerland for the last 25 years! I even have a George Brown stick that I see every day because it is in front of my computer! I wish you all the best of luck, even though as I write this, many of you are "up there" watching us. Thank you for having and still existing! I love you all!
I Love see Kool with his Base guitar early in the 60 his Base was bigger it looked than Him. This is why this KATG 80’Group were Just Awesome together listening how everyone has a in put. Very Cesco for the 80s and 60s until today. The best group ever!

I’ve been a fan since my uncle played the ”Good times” album as we celebrated his 19th birthday back in -73 , when I was 8. I went elsewhere when they turned disco , but the first 8 studio albums (and 2 live) before is still some of my favourites.
I live in Atlanta. It’s always interesting to learn of the city’s interrelationship with Black music, pre-hip hop. I wonder if any descendants of Color Sounds 12:15 are still around today.

The coolest group ever. Cool, calm and collected. Wish one could go back to the good old times.

Me too Robert Kool Bell is from from my hometown I met him in 03 so cool

Indeed a re-united tour with JT will be sold out world over. I personally will not go and see JT solo or KATG without JT. I simply will not.
Brilliant sound, many brilliant tracks, sign of a good band!
REST IN BEATS Ronald Bell 🙏
I thank God that I have the privilege of being one of the bands photographers in 1986 and 1987!📷
So many childhood memories with these guys and the music lasts!
I like early Kool and the Gang sound better. But i respect why they evolved as they did. There is a lot more to this group than meets the eye ...
Yeah I agree with that. I find my self listening to 70s disco. KOOL&the GANG resonated with me . Almost perfect blend
Got bills like everyone else
Lol I can relate to that!😂
Very interesting interview!!

Kool and Gayn was my favorite band but they all so could dance and sing 🎵🎶🎵🎤 I mean they would show up and show out and J ,T could sing and dance 🕺 they was no joke they was a family and that was beautiful and to that saying love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹👏👍🙏🏾
Fun fact: Dennis 'DT' Thomas is Myra (Michelle Thomas RIP 🙏🏽) Steve Urkel's girlfriend from Family Matters father.
They always put on an exciting show. But what happened to JT? Did he get fired or leave on his own?
Don't worry Be happy JT left on his own . He had dreams of his own . He wanted to playing in movies he did one movie mambo Kings, and sounds track to movie. Wanted A solo career. Following his own dreams .He reunited with Kool and the gang in 1996-1998 they did a CD Salute to the ladies
