A celebratory anthem from the golden age of disco, a timeless party classic.
This album includes the song "Celebration," which is synonymous with Kool & The Gang. It's a celebratory and euphoric album that will heat up the dance floor and your heart at the same time.
Their sound, which crossed soul, funk and disco, was the most sophisticated during this period, and the light brass section, funky groove, and simple, catchy message were fused together, allowing many people to experience the wonderfulness of "celebrating". In particular, "Celebration" is still used in all kinds of celebratory occasions, and is loved throughout the ages as a song that symbolizes the power of music to connect people. The entire album has a positive and consistent mood, and can be said to be a vivid flower that bloomed at the end of the disco era.
