The voice of James Taylor is unforgettable. He has been the true voice of the band's music. Kool and the gang's music and his voice are one thing. Beautiful musical voice.
This song came out the week I was left with a sink of dirty dishes, and no where to sit and watch the space where the TV was. But I still have the Revere Ware pots!!!!
I love it when a band performs the song in a way that honors the recording instead of sounding like a cover band playing their song. The saxophone solo and the short guitar solo are just note for note.
He gave them an xtra spark like playmaker made them more successful when he came along they were already good with the Funky styles,JT came along added more from this to Peacemaker blended with everything the Gang did in musical genre makes him and them one of the Great Acts in Pop/Rock history.Hes never listed or mentioned in the greatest list category for Singers mainly Rockers
Gosh I miss the 80's and 90's.....they just don't make groups like this anymore. From the latest newcomers...Silk Sonic is the one that comes to mind with a true soulful band vibe. That is hard to find. Kool and the Gang is timeless and I so wish JT would perform with again.
they almost stole the show I seen them in Buffalo Ny with the Mighty VH It was dave Roths idea to have they open what a great decision It was awsome everybody was groovin to the Gang and Then came the mighty Halen WHAT A SHOW i Have been a lifelong VH deciple since i was 13 in 1979 but I always loved kool and the Gang those 80s were the best . Nobody was sitting down from Gang to the end of the show with VH i have video of the whole show
@@leslielee2454In Tulsa, OK 🇺🇸 David Lee Roth decided the huge sold out indoor stadium, in the middle of summer didn’t need air conditioning & had it shut off after Kools performance. He said it “hurt his vocal chords” such a laugh because he couldn’t sing anymore. Wolfie VH displaced Michael Anthony on bass/vocals & the show was a disaster. We never cooled down afterwards sweating our butts off dancing; & left early. I did see Van Halen on their 1st US tour in ‘78 opening for Ozzy/Sabbath.
@@KittyGrizGriz vh was on fire out of the box in 78 a friend seen them in Niagara falls in 78 said it was awesome I seen them in 80 81 84 an ever since met Ed Al and wolf on 2015 tour got pix and auto went to multiple shows near Buffalo video every show I could .... good story love to hear stories you seen an awesome show
Kool and the gang album by the same kool and the gang (1970) and album called open sesame (1976), didn’t have any lead singers but they were jamming to great beats including the famous summer madness song (1976) …. I took a deep dive one day and realized they had more in the bag than just the albums in the late 1970s and early hits of 1980s
This band is absolutely the BEST OF YHE BEST. J.TAYLOR.WHAT A FANTASTIC VOICE. I HAVE SO MAMY GOOD WORDS FOR THEM,ITS TOO MUCH TO YEXT. I LOVE THIS GROUP. LIVE THE SAX,ETC. J.T U R THE BEST EVER EVER. THERE SHOULD BE MORE MUSIC LIKE THIS. LOVE U ALL. MISS YOUR MUSIC SO VERY MUCH.
Great music!!! Great memories!!! Kool and The Gang is still one of my favorite groups. Their music will be enjoyed for future generations to come. 😊 🎶 🎵
So smooth and his voice always seems so effortless. I'll be surprised if the kids don't have great voices as his wife is Starleana Young from Slave and Aurra
You know you’re a legend when your live voice sounds the same as the record.
Yes Indeed!🥰
When the whole band sounds the same as the record!
Meine Jugend die 80er Jahre. Tolle Zeit. Grüße aus Berlin Zehlendorf
Absolutely, and without need of autotune software in studio ;).
Indeed! Whitney, Luther, Lionel, Patti, Chaka, Regina, Anita, Billy Ocean, Aretha, Tina, TP, and the list goes on! One marker is that they are ALL OS!
Still listening in 2024
The world needs more saxophone solos
This is what you call REAL MUSIC!!!!
His voice will sound forever
I heard this song on the radio today. It instantly put a smile on my face. ❤
🎉 Kool and the Gang is Too hot to handle. Have loved them since the 70's. Retro music greetings from coastal Mississippi ❤
No question the man can truly sing.😊
Pure talent!
No technological enhancements!!!
The lead singer is gorgeous!
What a Band, with a dance floor discography unsurpassed. And still in 2024 one the very best live bands touring the World.
Just seen live in Munich 5.7.2024
The voice of James Taylor is unforgettable. He has been the true voice of the band's music. Kool and the gang's music and his voice are one thing. Beautiful musical voice.
You need to go and listen to the original singer, when they performed Jungle Boogie, and more of their original songs. Check it out!😊🎉😂❤
@@ayndowney9401 I know, Kool and the Gang's members have been and are all great musicians
He’s so good. Absolutely flawless, with an awesome vibe too
Paradise in earth, he IS an Angel
@@ayndowney9401 Before 1979, Kool & The Gang was a pure band, but during JT's era, it was more identified to a singer and a band.
James Taylor of Kool and the gang vocals were out of this 🌎 world...
Damn! Live performance that sounds this incredible is insane!
Kool and the gang dropped a truth classic here and James jt Taylor brought the goods vocally
That is what is called a song. Not so much left of these.
I'm 25 and I adore old school music !!
Incredible pitch of James J.T. Taylor´s voice. Kool was too hot!
Now that’s a live performance.
Straight up.
Almost the best black vocal like best African-American they have the best talents in and entertaining business they ship make the best time
What a voice, instruments, rythm, I love this music!

JT IS SUCH A SMOOTH VOCALIST. PHENOMENAL
Take notes kids what hit songs are all about
Bravo Bravo Bravo James JT Taylor, incredible vocals!!!!!!
This is just perfection!
Absolutely
This is Kool and the Gangs best song in my opinion. It doesn't have the Ric Flare. Trust me...I'm right on this one.
That was Truly Outstanding.
Wow Foreal !!!
RIP George
Brilliant Masterpiece in the Disco World.
Dude sounds exactly the same in person.
Show me a contemporary singer comparable to him in 2024. I highly doubt it.
C parmi les meilleure groupe des années 80
Not only the music and the voice, but the sweetness of the lyrics, nothing to do with today's trash!!!
Good song 🎵! The lead singer's voice is smooth as silk !
That was vintage Kool and the Gang right there. Those were the good old days.
I wasn't even thought of when this was released, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE this
❤️❤️❤️
For sure, Great Times!
I always think of adding JT as Phase Two.
All days could be good times. I belive?!?!
JT was one sexy dude back in the day
Jt Taylor is a bad boy. Love some kool and the gang. So did my mom RIP Sweetie
Great music always holds up! JT was and still is one of the best male vocals ever!!
*What an amazing song from an amazing greatest band of all time.*
Only J.T. and Kool are still alive now
This knocks me out. Every bit as much as it did when I first heard it! Yeah!
I Miss the oldies real music at that
This is such a smooth groove. Everything on point. The vocals. The guitar. The bass. The sax. Legendary group.
Bravo!!! What a great singer.
Ouuuu weee! Voice like butter, babeeee!!! He will forever be the adlib king too!!!
The best song from Kool & the gang for me !! 👍🏼🎵
Nah. Good but not the best. For me it’s Jones vs Jones.
Cherish ?
