Kool & The Gang

Kool & the Gang were an American funk band from New Jersey known for horn-driven, chant-like grooves that bridged jazz, soul, and early proto-disco. Formed in 1964 and led by Robert “Kool” Bell and Ronald Bell, they are associated with crossover hits such as “Jungle Boogie,” “Hollywood Swinging,” “Ladies’ Night,” and “Cherish.”
