Kool & The Gang

After this one, there was no turning back for Kool & The Gang! Bringing their underground funk sound to the masses, with a choppy riffy groove that stands out almost as a public challenge to all the other pretenders that had been cropping up on major labels during the same time. The band are as tight as they ever were and they're rolling like a non-stop locomotive with a horn-heavy groove on classics like ''Jungle Boogie'' and ''Hollywood Swinging'', while also showing hints of their strong mellow future on the cut ''Wild & Peaceful''. The album also includes the massive two part jammer ''Funky Stuff'' and ''More Funky Stuff'', plus ''This Is You, This Is Me'' and ''Life Is What You Make It''.
