At that point did it need to be? Disco practically did EVERYBODY in (creatively speaking) from James Brown to Sly Stone to Curtis Mayfield, etc. A lot of musicians were out of work due the disco drum machines groups were using to replace drummers. …

Not all groups are the same. It takes a few albums for a group to get the formula right sometimes.

And as far as the BET notification goes, I wouldn't have to call you. You'll probably see it as a news bulletin while checking your yahoo,msn, aol, or whatever search engine you use to check your e-mail.
-
That's why I put in parenthesis (better). Read it thoroughly.
-
Not necessarily talking in circles Luscious Fox just stating the facts. Who is to say that EW&F's singles didn't play a part in their induction into the Hall of Fame (along with their albums). Remember, the Dave Clark 5 got in purely on the stre…
-
Well Willie Fraggle, me name dropping Kool and the gang songs was only done to further explain the point I was trying to make as to why I felt Kool & the gang belonged in the Rock & Roll Hall of fame in the 1st place. If making assumptions a…

It's as much Rock and Roll as EW&F's Let's Groove.

Dude, Celebration is KATG's biggest hit. It's become their signature tune. As much as I prefer songs like The Penguin and Who's Gonna Take the Weight, I have to acknowledge Celebration as one of the definite tunes KATG will be known for and will go …
-
I feel where you're coming from, different strokes for different folk I guess. As much as I prefer the old KATG, some of their post JT Taylor material gets me a bit nostalgic whenever I listen to it.
-
Well it definitely won't be for Country Junky (as much as I like that tune)LOL. I'd go for Hollywood Swinging, Jungle Boogie, & Celebration (Because it's their biggest hit to date).
-
Because it was his one and only hit musically. Steve Martin mainly put out comedy albums.
-
Okay, forget the "cross-over" part (even though technically they did "crossover" to american shores from Britain to achieve mainstream success). The Dave Clark 5 basically got in the Hall of Fame on the strength of their pop-single success. Alright,…
-
But they were pop hits nonetheless.
-
No, but I can defend Too Hot, Celebration, Fresh & Get Down On it. It may not be from the same Kool & the Gang period that created Electric Frog, Duji, and Soul Vibrations (my favorite period from them) but they are songs I do remember list…
-
Having pop "cross-over hits" is what got The Dave Clark 5 inducted into the Rock Hall of fame last year didn't it?
-
Well if Caucasoids (as you put it) like his guitar playing, then they must've liked Kool and the gang's pop sounds of the 70's and 80's because they managed to rack up 12 top 10 pop singles.
-
Oh not true at all Luscious Fox, Kool and the Gang's hits are as follows: 1) Jungle Boogie(#4 pop) 1973 2) Holly wood Swinging(#6 pop) 1973 3) Ladies' Night (#8 pop) 1979 4) Too Hot (#5 pop) 1979 5) Celebration (#1 pop) 1980 6) Get down on it (#10…

Well if having some sort of rock background in your music qualifies you for the Rock Hall of fame, how did Curtis Mayfield get in twice as a solo artist and group member of The Impressions? And don't get me wrong, I actually like disco. I guess for …
-
You mentioned it right there, OG Kool & the Gang were too black/funky. They later commercialized their sound and had a string of hits throughout the 70's and early 80's (Just like EW&F did). If anything, Kool and the Gang's commercial succes…
-
Well, what elements of Chic contained rock? They mainly performed R&B dance music. Kool & the gang created a sound that not only made hits/classics for themselves but for other people as well. Not to mention, albums like Lightnin' Rod's "Hus…
-
Wait a minute....who are you? First off nobody came in here disrespecting anyone until you until decided to add your little 2 cents to this discussion. And for the record I care that's why I brought it up in the first place from the way I see it YOU…

How can Chic's "Good Time's" compare to this: Kool and the Gang Kool and the Gang: (De-Lite 1969) * ???Give it Up??? (Drums) A Tribe Called Quest???s ???Scenario??? Beastie Boys???s ???Professor Booty??? Compton's Most Wanted???s ??…

A matter of opinion of course.

No youtube clips needed this time around homie. Peep the scenario. http://www.soulstrut.com/ubbthreads/show...rue#Post1247011

I see we've got an O.G. on here. Wuzzup cuz, what set you claim?

Don't worry controller 7, I caught the individual. He(or she) turned out to be unclesanchez. Rest assured the situation was handled appropriately and accordingly.LOL.

This from someone who described himself as "Little dude to the extreme" in his Soulstrut profile?
