Funk was always better than Disco. 🥰
Would you be my best friend?
Generally yes, but there were a lot of bands that weren't strictly either, but a mix.
lol “disco sucks” lives
Well, remember Disco is really comercial Funk... popified for the masses
It's about skills. If you're a musicians, you have to have chops to play disco. Imagine all the Orchestra's & horn sections that were hired during the era. People got a lot of work and a lot of music was produced. Example, there was a disco version of "Star Wars", then the bass player also played on "I'm Every Woman" by Chaka, which was written by Ashford & Simpson, who wrote "Ain't No Mountain high Enough, which was "soul" from Motown. It's all music. But for the fan, you like what you like.
back when R&B and Funk was real music
Except it didn't last long after first album , they went pop
Nonsense they put out several funk albums to 69 to 75
@@lauraveney1412 some people just talk and don't know facts
That was so amazing to have experienced it in real time while it was being created and played on the radio.
Man what stands for R&B??? Rap and blues ... I'm sorry, im learning english
50 years later, and it is still timeless.
Most of them in this performance are now no longer with us… Kool is the last man standing! Rest In Peace and Power to all fallen heroes in Kool And The Gang ! ✊🏾🙏❤️🎶🎶
JT, the singer, who joined a few years later is alive and well. He catapulted their fame following a lull.
They said in the video... Is JT in the video??
People fail to read heh
Which one is Kool?
@@zoso73 the Bass guitarist! His brother who played the saxophone 🎷 and keyboards 🎹 for the group passed away years ago and both he and Kool were co-founders along with the original drummer George Brown, who also passed away! 🥲
Real musicians, actually playing their instruments and singing live. Absolutely killing it! 👍🏼
They knew how to cover all the parts and still sing and have a good time!
It's all still out there, just not mainstream anymore.
@@-Ricky_Spanish- Right, but I'm sure it's much harder to make a living doing it today.
No in ear monitors for the drummer playing to a click track either!!! Just feeling it and leading the band!
Actual musicians!!!
Kool and the Gang. Commodores. Earth, Wind and Fire. Such soul and power.
I grew up with this! One of my teachers played Earth Wind and Fire one day. It was so cool.😎
Brass Construction, B.T. Express, Switch.
Black music is a shadow of what it used to be, For those of us who grew up in the 70s, this stuff put out nowadays isn’t even close
A-Friggin-Men!
Gran temazo de los inolvidables kool & the gang
💯🎶
Agreed and white music isn’t any better. 😢
That would be any form of music under corporations.
The 70s seem like a fun time to be alive
Seem?? U must have missed out! Sorry kiddo
@@yancyjenkinssr1824 I did 😢
It was!🙂 I was a few days away from my 15th birthday when this originally aired.
Way more freedom back then for sure!
They say if you remember the ‘70’s, then you weren’t really there. I was only 9 when this hit so I remember it vividly. There was an unusually deep freedom of expression in the arts that launched in the ‘60’s but dispersed further from about 1969-79. If you listen to all genres created during that period you’ll be there.
Kool looks like a kid! So young.
he does, doesn't he. 🤣🤣 but what a GREAT musician he was, being so YOUNG.
Looks about 12yrs old 😮
This.🫢
Born in 1950, so about 24 in 1974.
This was 20 years before Pulp Fiction! Koolest!
Oh, yeah! That bass line and trumpet 🔥🔥🔥 One of my favorite songs from this band.
Bobby Womack introducing Kool and the Gang is an amazing alignment of stars.
Dude is high as a kite! But, really brings the energy ;)
To me, the *funky, jazzy* Kool & The Gang, right here, will always be *the best* era of the band. I do like a lot of the later, more pop-oriented music with J.T. too, but from '69 to '76 or so, this band made so many great albums, with some of the *best funk and jazz* , to ever be put on records by anyone! I have all of those classic albums, and my favorite is probably '74's "Light of Worlds."
This was amazing. I grew up listening to them, but with James "JT" Taylor as the lead singer. So sad only Robert "Kool" Bell is the only original band member still alive. I'm so happy to see them inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I hope Kool and JT both are there to accept the award 👍🏾💯.
Friday and everything is Kool & The Gang 😎
The keyboard player's accent vocals totally make this song about 1000x funkier than it already is ❤❤
Robert kool Bell jumped out the window in Mr Cavanaughs algebra class. I was there 1965
Really? Why did he do that?
@@franksmith7247 Him and his friend Bavossa have jumped out together. They had enough of Mr Cavanaughs BS He called everyone Buddyboy and you wanted to smack him High School Hijinks !
@@franksmith7247 Dudes crazy
MOST of those brothers in this phenomenal band, has passed on now...they had a GREAT comeback in LATE 1979. with Ladies Night. and went into the 80's dominated the record sales. and the charts.
Man these guys were so humble and beautiful, such a rare live video from the golden days, much love. STAY KOOL!
Just excellent! I opened for Kool and the Gang In the early 2000s; really nice guys and monster players! The horns here are outrageous sight
Nice, what was the name of the band you played in when you opened for Kool and the Gang?
Damn that felt good to watch and hear, thank God for the 70's music scene
Right On! Thanks.
Sick drums
Cultural history. This should have a million likes by now.
it will my friend, give it a little time. they just posted it.
@@Catalogue2 mick jagger gets millions for every thing that's posted of him
Absolutely fantastic music.
I love this tune. Those guys were so tight together. What a groove.
This hit the radio when I was a teenager, the first time I heard those tight-ass horns I was sold!
Snazzie suits! I love them!❤
Soooooo good! Saw them last year and they are still on point😎👍🏻👍🏻
for young people listening, this is what a human with talent actually playing an instrument sounds like
Not young people's fault. This speaks to how since the 80s, schools across the US gutted music programs, especially in the inner cities. Bands like this formed and learned music as teenagers in school.
@@novacorps2468 Agreed! That's why organizations live the "Save The Music Foundation" are so important.
Bingo!!!
It's a myth this has anything to do with education. Anyone called to music will find their teachers in the previous generation. if you can't find your real teachers you weren't called and didn't look. Only dead music forms obsessed by formalism and technique need to be taught in school.
How can you possibly not love music?
Dig that Guild Stratford X-350~!...
Yeah, I think he was playing through a Sunn Concert Lead amp.
My nephew loved this song, he was only three, he would call me from Ohio to sing this to me.❤🎉🎉
My son just turned 5 and he's obsessed with it as well! The hits are hits for a reason, I guess 🙂
Prime 70s funk from Jersey's own Kool and The Gang!❤✌✊
also known in New Jersey as the Jazziacs. before Kool & the gang.
These guys were my favorite growing up at the skating rink, and still can’t be beat !
They're dancing! Nice.
These guys were absolutely awesome...and this song is badass.
I can't ❤ this enough. Favorite Kool & the Gang song but, more than that, just the slice of time.💯
Kool and the Gang " Wild and Peaceful", with this cut on it, was the first album I ever bought. I was in third grade. LOL!
What a great band! Tight!!!
What a treat to watch this tune performed live. Thank you Thank you!
So glad it wasn't lip synched.
Two for one on the same stage!!🔥 Ricky West era 🙏
These are real musicians. They read music and know how to play a musical instrument. No pre-recorded drum machine, no synthesized samples. People who actually sing instead of talking.
Sadly there are not funk bands anymore. Bands that sang and played their own instruments.
They had to back then - no other way!
This is because since the 80s, schools across the US, especially in the inner cities gutted music programs. Bands like these formed and learned their instruments while teenagers in school.
Funky to the max!! 🎉😎🔥💜
Absolutely groovin performance. Amazing
Solid✊
We used to dance hard back then! wearing striped pant and checkered shirts and polka dot blouses & paisley skirts. The 70s was the coolest and most exciting era of all times!!
Jam on it 🎉❤❤❤❤
What fun we had listening to Hollywood Swinging and all of their music! RIP to all who passed
It was a dance hit at all the parties of the time, I flashed back to big parties my uncle used to through at his house….This song still jams big in October 2024! 💃🏽🕺🏼Straight Funky😁🙏🏽
I've never seen Kool so young. And I never realized how cute he was.
We could use some of this Good Ol' Funk from back in the day! Great dance music! 💃
Happy Friday 🥳 Thank you for sharing! 💖
This reminds me of the time I hit the dance floor every Saturday night at my local disco 😅Happy funky Friday, cheers 🍻💃
@GerardFrenchy59 We did a lot of that back in the day! 💃 Cheers 🥂
@@that70sgirl90Altough I practiced a lot it was soon clearly fast to me, that I never would be John Travolta😂🍻
@GerardFrenchy59 All that matters is you got out there and had a lot of fun!! Besides... there can only be one John Travolta!! 🕺😄
@@that70sgirl90 I had a lot of fun for sure😅I did it to impress the girls, but that also did not really work😢
Such an awesome performance.
And imho, one of the best “Band Names” ever.
They are kids, incredible!! Simply the Best❤
Always happy to see Bobby Womack!
Very talented. Love the mix on this too.
I'm from Youngstown Ohio, ...same place as these legends Robert and Ronnie Bell.
RIP @ Ronnie and some others.
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this SONG!!!
Bobby Womack had to get some of that funk (bongos) before he left the stage! 😂🔥
Definitely in the Top 10 R&B Funk songs of all time!! And look at them! OMG! Kool looks like he's 12.
Can you imagine getting to see this live and in person? I would have been overjoyed.
Great live performances - loved the Tarzan call🏆
I know I always say this in response to their vids,,, 🥳 they were FANTASTIC in concert a few years ago. EVERYONE was dancing along!!! GET DOWN ~ GET IT ON!!! 🎉😻
The root of hip-hop.
One of my all time favorite bands bar none!!!
drummer wuz on fire!
As if this song wasn’t too COOL already, the Tarzan yell toward the end capped it off. Awesome song!
They look like babies! The clothes! But when they play they are the deal...so good!
Never been so excited to see a live performance on this channel since King Crimson and Genesis. Holy smokes!
I'm 68 years old white boy.I get down
music styles are in a constant change, kools style lasted about 3 yrs, kids would break dance to jungle boogie, then disco, then punk rock, rock was still happening, and now rock has tappered off, country died off the airways, a new generation has come in and they seem to enjoy the new trend...aside from 90s, SEALS a kiss from a rose i cant remember a good song...
This is awesome, so amazing that such footage exists, they look so young and that’s Bobby Womack introducing them isn’t it! Love Kool & the gang in those days takes me right back to when I was 16
24/7 Spyz do a cover of this. Love them, too.
Man, they sound good. Drummer is tight. Bassist is funky. One of my favorites.
This is their BEST TIME in the music business in my opinion.
The Jam, taking a beat or theme, and running with it, letting each member of the band express themselves… when was the last time you heard that from a slick and shiny new artist? Or Band? Because there are not bands anymore, only celebrities and personalities. I consider myself so lucky to have grown up in the 60’s and 70’s. Great clip. ❤
Some of the best music ever!
Everything about this is awesome!
An amazing group of musicians at the top of their game. On fire!
The live performance is obviously amazing but the different coloured suits are next level!
Very touching and heartfelt lyrics, so deep!
Amazing that Kool is the only band member alive of this founding lineup. RIP to the other members, you will all live on thru your music.
Happy 50th Anniversary! ✌🧡
Always the musicians;it's out last forevermore.
This is AMAZING 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
So funkin' good!
OUTSTANDING performance!!!!!
Now that’s groovin baby!
Still sounds as good as it did in the 1970s.
I like this song very much.
More cowbell! As a fan of bass guitar I didn’t realize Kool is the bassist.
What a groove!!!
Real music by real cool musicians.
50 years ago, it was a long time ago. But to some who grew up with this fantastic music it doesn’t seem anywhere as ancient to some in their 50s-60s in 1974 watching their favourite band from 1924. Same difference 50 years! Mind boggling to me at least.
Hosted by Bobby Womack
They’re a black Chicago! I love it!
Freaking great song💪💥🎸
ESPETÁCULO SWING DA MELHOR QUALIDADE.
Musicians, artists, and performers! Live!
Thank you HipHop for making me smart enough to appreciate such sounds and styles.
Now this is a serious JAM!!!
Yes dammit!!!! whoo hoo!!! THE REAL KOOL AND THE GANG!!! Not that watered down 80's mess!!!!
