*Yessirreeeee-bob !!!*Today is my first year anniversary here in the Ville o'MOG & I couldn't be happier. I could be healthier, but not happier.

The great Sound of Kool & The Gang. Its odd how our tastes develop & evolve over the years, I hated this track during it's heyday. But I've come to really appreciate Kool & The Gang's first phase. Owing much to brother James Brown's funk & George Clinton's sense of goofy fun, Kool & The Gang nevertheless carved out their own niche on the dance floor in the early seventies.

www.lanier2.imeem.comFormed as a jazz ensemble in the mid-'60s, Kool & the Gang became one of the most inspired and influential funk units during the '70s, and one of the most popular R&B groups of the '80s after their breakout hit "Celebration" in 1979.
