Next year they will be celebrating their 60th anniversary.That's right 60 years in music and only The Rolling Stones are matching them.Do I have to count their hits?How big and iconic they are?Yesterday they released their brand new album "People Just Wanna Have Fun" and the lead single is this one "Let's Party". The band is led by founding members Robert “Kool” Bell (bassist) and George “Funky” Brown (keyboardist, drummer & producer of this album) although vocalist James Taylor is no longer with the band and some have passed away.But the fact they are still releasing music that makes the good times better and the bad times more bearable is the only thing that matters.Since their start in 1964, the group has amassed two Grammy Awards, seven American Music Awards, a BET Soul Train Lifetime Achievement Award and star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.Kool & the Gang have performed continuously longer than any R&B group in history and are the most sampled R&B band of all time, including by Madonna, Jay-Z, Beastie Boys, Janet Jackson, Cypress Hill and P. Diddy. Not to mention their music on soundtracks from Rocky, Saturday Night Fever and Pulp Fiction to Wreck-It Ralph and many more.Kool & The Gang has remained true to their roots while pushing into the future that's why they deserve respect love and the term ICONS.
