"Kool And The Gang" Still Touring After All These Years!

Wow! Can you believe that the band "Kool And The Gang" has been fully active since 1964? That is correct. The original lineup began playing small venues all the way back before we landed on the moon! The bands' popularity grew big time in the mid seventies, and continued to climb through the 80s' with hits like "Ladies Night", "Get Down On It". "Joanna", and of course their biggest hit of the 1980s' "Celebration."

The group's main members over the years included brothers "Robert Bell" (known as "Kool") on bass and "Ronald Bell" on tenor saxophone, lead vocalist "James Taylor", George Brown on drums, Robert Mickens on trumpet, Dennis Thomas on alto saxophone, "Claydes Charles Smith" on guitar, and " Rick Westfield" on keyboards. The Bell brothers' father was an acquaintance of  "Thelomious Monk", and the brothers were friends with " Leon Thomas"

Check out the groups upcoming confirmed tour schedule for 2013! Not bad for, shall we say "Seasoned Veterans". "Kool And The Gang" certified Awesome 80s' Artists!    Tommy Mac
