The festive funk sound of Kool & the Gang
This best-of album, released in 1999, sums up their illustrious career.
Hits like "Celebration" and "Get Down On It" bring back the golden age of funk and disco. Gang's tight rhythm section and brass flourishes showcase party music at its finest, and this compilation captures their evolution from the '70s to the '80s.
