    Ohhh hells yeah... that's an underrated killer right there, too. Ain't no ways in hell fuckin' with Summer Madness for me, but still a dope ass song.
    After hearing Summer Madness in "Rocky", that was it for me. That's one of my top songs all time, maybe even top 10. I dunno for sure about top 10, all I know is I can never get tired of that one.

    You could almost split this list in two: top 5 KATG funk bomb, and top 5 KTAG slow jams. I always though that "Heaven at Once" off of Wild and Peaceful was a criminially slept on slow jam.

    Heaven At Once, no doubt... I sampled that little quote years ago for some schitt I did. I don't even remember what the whole song sounds like. I gotta pull that schitt out and give it another spin.

    at 17 we fell in love

    high school sweethearts

    love was so brand new

    we took the vows of man & wife

    forever

    for life

    i remember how we made our way

    a little patience

    the times we prayed

    cant imagine that this love is thru

    feeling the pain girl

    when you lose

    You know, that's probably the one song on the cheesy pop JT Taylor side of Kool & The Gang's career that is like to me. Guitar solo =

    Yo Phill could it be that you mixed it up with one of the best rip offs of a original composition that I know of ???
    The track is called "Decision" by Bill Conti. I saw Rocky II the other night on TV and it is used in the scenes where Rocky has to earn money for the new house they bought and because he is not good in reading and doing commercials he is working in the slaughterhouse and cleaning the floor.

    That tune is so dope but was not on the Rocky II OST, they released that the first time on the Rocky III OST.


    Here is a soundclip:

    No, Phill is right. It's not in the second, but the first Rocky. As far as I remember there's a scene in his apartment where it's playing in the background. Kool, not Conti.

  • HawkeyeHawkeye 896 Posts
    OK, than I have to watch Rocky I again, because I dont remeber hearing any other music than Bill Contis in those movies.


    But still "Decision" is a great rip off of "Summer Madness"



    Peace

    KOOL'S BACK.

    (Phill, can't believe you left this one out! Fr***ly F*re!)

    Yeah, I know. Not top 5 for me, though. Bangin' like a mug regardless, just like almost all of the stuff from K&TG's first few albums.
