I'm a white guy too. 46 now. I love these tunes from Kool and the Gang. Color should have nothing to do with it. This is good music. I love the guitar. Misled was another of my favs. I'm right there with you antonio.
Charlene Johnson. Color ain't nothing but skin. Like MLK said , and I am old enough to have heard it live, " it's not the color of one's skin but the strength of one's character"
That is so cool, its good to experience all genres of music. During the 80's I listened to Whitesnake, Motley Crue, RATT, Def Leppard, and Van Halen. I also listened to Hall & Oates, Kool and the Gang, DeBarge, New Edition. The guitar work on K&TG song Misled is cool too.
@@CMVasquez8812 At my last check of wikipedia he's still alive. I checked because I'm going to their February concert and was curious as to the band makeup.
RIP to the co founder of Kool & The Gang, Ronald Bell. They gave us the best dancing, romantic and rockin’ music. I love the guitar in this one. I miss this music so much, thanks CZcams!

I think George and Kool are the only members of the classic line up left. JT does not perform in the group anymore. I love playing and singing their music at home on my arranger keyboard.
..THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT,the greatest!, in my heart ..."The greatest song Kool and The Gang"...has ever made,composed and sung...This song when u hear it is so fresh when you hear it today, they were so ahead of there time when this song ever came out. God Bless Tonight and God Bless 'Kool and The Gang"...without a f*&kin doubt!,man!!!!!!!!
By far, their best song! I watch it about once a year or more. I think it has one of the best basslines and chord progressions of all of their songs. The whole thing is tight!
I agree. It’s got that tight rock funk sound to it. Michael Jackson and even Gap Band did sounds like this during that period. That’s why they all managed to have crossover appeal.
Because corporations pick what they think will sell. Used to get paid to sit in groups and pick out songs liked best. They would play those songs over and over, till our favorites became hated.
This should be a dance challenge 🤣 Tonight the light is shining bright 😁JT with his headband on awww man...the light from the Lord is shining on so many of us and it's Beautiful...welp stay Strong and know that the Lord is always with and fighting for you.. especially before he's about to Bless you😌 Kool and the Gang🔥 Great Music 🔥
This is an example what the entertainment industry shoul provide you with...pure talent, singing and dancing...to put it short - the whole package. Sad to see that today's industry doesn't provide the whole package.
I remember this song and I loved this song I was 14 and I remember hearing it on the radio and I probably watched it on videos back then LOL but yes one of my favorites I love to Kool & the gang always have always will can't believe it's been so many years I feel so old.
This song is just epic!!! I'm more into rock than dance music but this rocks from start to finish. Everything is tight here, the dance moves, the harmonies, the guitar solo and when you think it can't get any better... 2:10 boom!!! Awesome!!!
Congratulations to Kool and the Gang on 55 years of success and great music. They have sold more than 80 million albums. This is one of my personal favorites Thank you gentlemen
Man, this is my FAVORITE Kool and the Gang song! I just can't stop listening to it. And I love how the boys groove to it, dance to it with so much energy! Go Kool and the Gang Go!!!
This is my favorite song too. The lead singer has a great voice. He could have had a solo career. He started singing as a teenager. I love the dance moves in this video. I watch It a lot.
I just adore this group. So rhythmic. Vocally, musically.' Iadies night' has to be my favourite. Everyone on the dance floor to Kool and the gang. 🎤 🕺 x
Kool & The Gang . Greatest ever!!!!! They are in rhythm in all there songs. James T. Taylor makes Kool & The Gang . Something is wrong if you dislike this great music. Greatest!!!!
This song goes down as the best song ever that people never hear or knew about. I was 15 when I first discovered this song. So much soul and groove. The girl they sing about must be smoking hot! I hope you are enjoying this song tonight. Ooh!
I worked a retail job awhile back and being a Metalhead at heart most of the corporate approved piped in music annoyed me. Then one day this song came on and I was like damn this is a great song. I have been listening ever since then.
Always loved this song. Such amazing performers. JT giving perfect vocals, and everything about it is quintessential 80's. Even the set is so Xanadu, ha
Kool and The Gang is the soundtrack of my life.They ruled the 80's.My entire family loves them.Great feel good music.RIP Ronald Khalis Bell.May peace be upon him..❤
I sure do miss the 70s and 80s. The music today is not even the same. Sometimes I wish I could find a time machine and go back in time. Life was much easier and everyone enjoyed life! Is this your favorite song?
Rataya I am a White 67 Male, grew up on the streets of South Philadelphia and this was and is one of my all time favorites. I served 3 Tours in Vietnam and I have always lived with one belief skin color is just decoration it is an individual's Character that counts. I think some one said that a Loooong Time ago but it is the essance of my beliefs.
I'm not gonna lie - watching JT Taylor hopping around the stage in those red leather pants brings me back to a major high school crush. I love this band.
I remember this song when I was in college when it was released. Boy, this song isn't even played on the radio airwaves that I know of! What fantastic memories here!
I'm a 45 year old white man and if you don't like "Kool" there's something wrong with ya. JT Taylor is bad ass!!!!
👍👍👍👍
Platecrumb,WTF is that suppose to mean? It doesn't matter what race you are, everyone loves Kool and the Gang!!
I'm a white guy too. 46 now. I love these tunes from Kool and the Gang. Color should have nothing to do with it. This is good music. I love the guitar. Misled was another of my favs. I'm right there with you antonio.
Charlene Johnson. Color ain't nothing but skin. Like MLK said , and I am old enough to have heard it live, " it's not the color of one's skin but the strength of one's character"
I'm white too ! and i love it ! my dear white brother !
This is when black guys were real singers. Unlike the garbage rappers today
I hear mostly rappers that I grew up with or good rappers like Eminem who will always be my fave rapper.
This song is one of the reasons I'll never forget the 1980's.
❤❤❤❤❤l the 8o
❤❤❤❤❤l the 80's too,and I grew up in it. 💛💙💞😊😊😊😊
The 70's & 80's the best ever for music!
Kool & the Gang came out in the early seventies
This song could last 20 minutes and it still wouldn't be enough.
I quite agree with you!
Really. I bought it on 45rpm in 83
I've played it back.2.back2....
way over 20 minutes & it still wasn't enough
@@cm37177
Me too!
I am a 80s heavy metal fan at heart. I was also a K&TG fan and this song here rocks. The guitar work is bad ass.
That is so cool, its good to experience all genres of music. During the 80's I listened to Whitesnake, Motley Crue, RATT, Def Leppard, and Van Halen. I also listened to Hall & Oates, Kool and the Gang, DeBarge, New Edition. The guitar work on K&TG song Misled is cool too.
Rockfan here and yes...the guitar is just as good as the best rock guitar.
The BASS is also
That bass always killed it.
Sounds like they took a hint from toto:s playbook back then.
This man has one of the most beautiful voices on earth. And no one can sing these songs like he does. James JT Taylor you are a legend.
sure is...nobody can sing like j.t
@@michaelgustafson2454 I heard he passed...😭is it true???.I love him....his voice since JHS❤🙏😞
J.T was so talented...
He Had A Golden Voice & he never recieved the recognition he deserved
@@CMVasquez8812 At my last check of wikipedia he's still alive. I checked because I'm going to their February concert and was curious as to the band makeup.
So much talent for sure!
NOW THIS IS TALENT

I think George and Kool are the only members of the classic line up left. JT does not perform in the group anymore. I love playing and singing their music at home on my arranger keyboard.
What ????...😭😭😭😭Rip my teen idol
I don't think any group can ever top this music as Kool and the Gang performed. They were a one of a kind!
You are not wrong, but all the great songs and bands have that sound that extends beyond them and us , forever.
WE HAD THE BEST MUSIC IN THE 80'S! WE WERE SO LUCKY!!
We had the best everything in the 80s
@Anita, absofreakin' lutely. Nothing touches it. Heard this on SXM and will admit I had forgotten this one. So good to hear it again.
Very true. Most of the stuff from the 90s was pretty cool too
Hi Anita,hope you’re okay ?
👍🎵🎼
Perfect blend of rock , soul and funk!
This has got to be one of their BEST SONGS from the 80's! You don't hardly ever hear this song on the radio anymore!
Facts, its celebration sometimes ladies night but little else. These guys had tons of hits that all deserve airplay
I remember growing up listening to these guys. Good music. ❤
This song never gets old
This was my group back in the 80s, Congratulations to them being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, long overdue ❤
The 70s
The young music generation needs to watch this and Learn.🤣😂
This performance always puts me in a good mood. They were 🔥
Love the guitar solo.
I saw them for the first time at Disney world bk inlike 78. I was mesmerized by J T he is incredible!!❤🧡💛💙💚💜💖
..THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT,the greatest!, in my heart ..."The greatest song Kool and The Gang"...has ever made,composed and sung...This song when u hear it is so fresh when you hear it today, they were so ahead of there time when this song ever came out. God Bless Tonight and God Bless 'Kool and The Gang"...without a f*&kin doubt!,man!!!!!!!!
One of the best songs from the entire decade. If you don't like that guitar solo, you don't like real music. Jam on.
I like the song. But the dance. On stage kind of silly. My opinion
Oh....so Kool
@@michaelmaricle2432
for once a group of boys is doing a choreography...
You have to be lenient 😄😉
Never gets old, a true classic! 👋👋👋👋
Si gracias
By far, their best song! I watch it about once a year or more. I think it has one of the best basslines and chord progressions of all of their songs. The whole thing is tight!
My favorite is summer madness
I agree. It’s got that tight rock funk sound to it. Michael Jackson and even Gap Band did sounds like this during that period. That’s why they all managed to have crossover appeal.
Not even close to their best song
I agree. "Tonight" i's my favorite song...with "Ladies night", of course 😃❤
Misled definitely still hits in 2023
One of THE best voices 👌 ❤️ EVER
Their music literally had everything!
"The voice" is James JT Taylor. He is simply the best.
I thought the 'Spinners had a good lead , too. and another group "Father was a rolling stone"...."
Why can't music be like this today???
wow, JT was hot!
Because corporations pick what they think will sell. Used to get paid to sit in groups and pick out songs liked best. They would play those songs over and over, till our favorites became hated.
As a 60 something yr old, if you dont like Kool and the Gang, you ain't white🤣👍🔥👏
Okay bro
Just turned 69 on June 4. Gonna see them with En Vogue on Sunday in Lenox, Mass. YEAH BAYBEE🎉🎉
BOL!
This should be a dance challenge 🤣
Tonight the light is shining bright 😁JT with his headband on awww man...the light from the Lord is shining on so many of us and it's Beautiful...welp stay Strong and know that the Lord is always with and fighting for you.. especially before he's about to Bless you😌
Kool and the Gang🔥
Great Music 🔥
I never get tired of listening to this song.
I'm addicted to this song.💝🔥🎵🎶🎼
The driving force of this piece is that great bass line!
Miguel Mory absolutely
Miguel Mory strongly agree. The bass as fantastic.
Kool could tear that thing up.
Plus those power cords from guitar all comes together for one hell of a rock funk track.
He always had that voice that went so well with this band!!! Thanks for all those awesome songs you belted out...Such great memories even till today.
This is an example what the entertainment industry shoul provide you with...pure talent, singing and dancing...to put it short - the whole package. Sad to see that today's industry doesn't provide the whole package.
I fully agree 💯 with you and you never waiting your in this band 🇿🇦
Waisting your money to go to show for this band
I could listen to this all day!!!!!!
Me too
@@rosalesbyron9011 , 🎧🎼🎵🎶🎤🎹🎻 , 📢🎸🎸📢⬆
And all night.
Me too where did real music go
Oohh babyyy y'll see the light I wanna dance all night...
That guitar work is amazing......these guys are heroes in music history. Great work Kool and the Gang and thanks for the musical memories.

The music I grew up upon... How time flies..the silky voice of JT Taylor is ear-candy. Kool& The Gang will live forever. 🙏🌷👋🍀❤️
That's what I call talent! Dance moves, instrument mastering and the voices.
Very true. Those days are over.
Makes you wanna get up and dance......great rhythm and bassline
Hi Angela,hope you’re okay ?
I love this video, the driving bass guitar, the lead guitar solo, the choreography
Congratulations to Kool and the Gang on 55 years of success and great music. They have sold more than 80 million albums. This is one of my personal favorites Thank you gentlemen
Guitar and bass orgasm. The whole band is on fire!!! The guitar solo is incredible and soars to the stratosphere. Great vocals as well!
My favorite song amazing awsome love kool and the gang they rocked 💞💞💞never gets old let's stay in the 80s forever 💞💞💞
Man, this is my FAVORITE Kool and the Gang song! I just can't stop listening to it. And I love how the boys groove to it, dance to it with so much energy! Go Kool and the Gang Go!!!
This is my second favorite by them. My favorite kool and the gang song is Mislead
While Celebration, Joanna and Fresh are great...nobody plays all of these other GREAT SONGS!
This is my favorite song too. The lead singer has a great voice. He could have had a solo career. He started singing as a teenager. I love the dance moves in this video. I watch It a lot.
My favorite is Summer Madness
Totally
Great chemistry and sound
I just adore this group. So rhythmic. Vocally, musically.' Iadies night' has to be my favourite. Everyone on the dance floor to Kool and the gang. 🎤 🕺 x
One of the most rocking funky tracks there was. Brilliant.
Damn, JT was sooo good looking! This song will NEVER get old !
Kool & The Gang . Greatest ever!!!!! They are in rhythm in all there songs. James T. Taylor makes Kool & The Gang .
Something is wrong if you dislike this great music. Greatest!!!!
This song goes down as the best song ever that people never hear or knew about. I was 15 when I first discovered this song. So much soul and groove. The girl they sing about must be smoking hot! I hope you are enjoying this song tonight. Ooh!
I love that falsetto Harmony part " Tonight, you'll finally see the light."
I love it. A danceable song with a real guitar solo in it. Sadly that'll probably never happen again.
Wow...never...
Definitely the "heaviest" Kool & The Gang song; its straight-up rock!
John L yeap
to me it's "misled", but this one is hot too
John L Don’t forget “Emergency”
John L Irie !
has anyone noticed almost all songs back in the day had a guitar solo...and an epic solo at that!
The guitar solo is bad azz..great song too 😎👍
I would give anything to go back to the 80’s. Such an AWESOME decade to be alive.
I worked a retail job awhile back and being a Metalhead at heart most of the corporate approved piped in music annoyed me. Then one day this song came on and I was like damn this is a great song. I have been listening ever since then.
+laudanum669 I don't know if Van Halen is "metal." Never liked them myself but Kool and the Gang has opened for them.
awesome
It’s SOUL.
Ha! what a badass tune, from the year my daughter was born and now she gets to go see them Saturday in Atlantic City.......Lucky kid! You go girl....
Kool and the gang is one of the greatest group of all time.🔥♥️
I loved this man even before I could see him.His voice is just mesmerizing..Thank you for the childhood memories...guys...❤❤❤❤❤❤
They always have a such a great bass line in their songs
Always loved this song. Such amazing performers. JT giving perfect vocals, and everything about it is quintessential 80's. Even the set is so Xanadu, ha

Love the fancy footwork, the music, and the band in general. :)
Always been my jam since 1984.
Actual talent and dedication.
❤ this song !
What a delight of music!!! I just love all the wonderful compositions of this magnificent Kool & The Gang Band!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍🎧🎸🎸🎸🎸
Kool on bass and Claydes Charles Smith (RIP) on guitar = top notch! J.T. vocals real smooth.
One of my favorites!!!

Podem falar o que quiser mas a década de 80 é muito foda, adoro essa música!!!
kkkkkkkkkkkkk
This is black music not circus music

That guitar solo is f’n awesome! 🤘🏼
Real music by awesome band!
damn it!!! that guitar solo is on point!!!!!
🔥🔥🔥👍🏾
This song is a jam, RIP to Ronald Bell, and long live the music of Kool and the Gang!
Kool & The Gang let the pop world listen to this gem of this pop/rock song four decades ago. It never fades!
OMG I just love this! So beautiful to watch and listen to. JT is so handsome.
Loved this song. I think this group was trying to reinvent itself in 84.
This Band and their Music is, and always has been My Happy Place!✨✨✨
That's when katg performed on solid gold in 1984.I watched that show religiously.loved their music still do!
I'm not gonna lie - watching JT Taylor hopping around the stage in those red leather pants brings me back to a major high school crush. I love this band.
Performance espetacular de música com dança!!👏👏👏👏
First band I ever saw live, the same year this was recorded. Heavens. THEY WERE SO DAMN SMOOOOOOOOTH.
**swoons**
+Josephine Thornton All really appealing guys. Kool seems to have run a pretty tight ship.
The best of Kool and the Gang.
Seen them in the 80's at the Arizona State Fair for free, one of the best concerts I've been to!!!!
Love this man, JT he is one of the best vocalist, then and now awesome voice and moves kool and the gang sound awesome with him
Great Music!, Rock and Soul wrapped up into one. Kool & The Gang made the transition from disco to the 80s well. Bring back this style pleaseee.
Thank you 80s, always great.
Exciting to see everybody together for old time sake ! Charles on guitar and Clifford Adams on trombone.
May they rest in peace forever now, these two ! (and Robert ''Spike'' Mickens as well ...)
I been jamming this all week all day.JT is still my eye candy 🥰🥰🥰🥰👑🖤
The black Americans gave America its sounds, yes, plural, sounds.
Oh yeah me and my Dad Russell The Muscles Jam back in 1985 on the way to his softrbal games. Rip to the worlds greatest Dad. ✝️💪🎶🎵
I remember this song when I was in college when it was released. Boy, this song isn't even played on the radio airwaves that I know of! What fantastic memories here!
JT was the coolest guy after Michael in the 80 s!!
Head to head for me
U mean Koolest.. 😏✨
And pooh J.T. was F.I.N.E
Cooler than MJ.
He is best of the best.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love that showin!!.. J.T. always sings and dances!!.. he is so handsome!!
