Summer of 1984. My band, Distant Thunder used to do this cover song. 😀
Kool & The Gang – Tonight
Forget Michael Jackson and Springsteen. To me the 80’s was ALL about Prince, Motley Crue, Van Halen and Kool & the Gang:
— From Wikipedia —-
Kool & the Gang is a highly successful American R&B/soul/funk/disco group. They originally formed in Jersey City, New Jersey in 1964. They went through several musical phases in their career. They started out as practitioners of R&B and funk, eventually went through a phase where they were a smooth disco ensemble, and wound up the successful period of their career recording tunes that were a mixture of pop and R&B.
Kool & the Gang is one of the most sampled artists of all time.
Always loved them. Always will.
