Kool and the Gang The Albums Vol. 1: 1970-1978 (CD) Box Set

Description: Further DetailsTitle: The Albums Vol. 1: 1970-1978Condition: NewDescription: With a cannon of more than 20 albums, Kool & The Gang are one of the most sampled bands in music history. From their roots in the mid-late '60s, the band has explored many musical styles from jazz and soul, funk and rock, R&B/Pop, with Gene Redd at the helm for their first handful of albums. Formed by brothers Robert 'Kool' Bell (Muhammad Bayyan) and Ronald Bell (Khalis Bayyan) and five close friends, Kool & The Gang signed to De-Lite Records in 1969, releasing their eponymous debut album, 'Kool and The Gang' worldwide the following year, having reached the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart with the title track. In 1973, Kool & The Gang reached the Billboard Top 30 for the first time with 'Funky Stuff', which was swiftly followed by 'Jungle Boogie' and 'Hollywood Swinging', which both reached the US Top 10. These are two of their most instantly recognisable earlier recordings, due to them being sampled and featured in present day TV commercials. More hits followed, including 1975's 'Summer Madness', again instantly recognisable from DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince's (aka Will Smith) global hit 'Summertime' in 1991. However, it was the inclusion of their 1976 track 'Open Sesame' on the 50 million selling units 'Saturday Night Fever' soundtrack, that they really gained worldwide commercial popularity and recognition. 'The Albums Vol. 1: 1970-1978' is the first of two box sets that cover the band's first 20 years. The set contains 119 tracks across 13 CDs, from the band's 12 studio and live albums, released worldwide from 1970's debut 'Kool & The Gang' and 1978's 'Everybody's Dancin'', as well as a bonus 'Singles Selection' disc, containing singles edits and non-LP tracks.Artist: Kool and the GangFormat: CDEdition: Box SetNo Of Discs: 13Record Label: EdselRelease Date: 07/08/2022Genre: R&B/SoulStyle: FunkEAN: 0740155730239MPN: EDSL0102Release Year: 2022Tracks: Disc 11: Kool & the Gang2: Breeze & Soul3: Chocolate Buttermilk4: Sea of Tranquility5: Give It Up6: Since I Lost My Baby7: Kool's Back Again8: The Gang's Back Again9: Raw HamburgerDisc 21: What Would the World Be Like Without Music/Let the Music Take Your Mind2: Walk On By3: Chocolate Buttermilk4: Trying to Make a Fool of Me5: Who's Gonna Take the Weight Part 1 & 26: Pneumonia7: Wichita Lineman8: I Want to Take You Higher9: Funky Man10: The Touch of YouDisc 31: N.T.2: Ricksonata3: Sombrero Sam4: Ronnie's Groove5: Ike's Mood/You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling6: Lucky for Me7: DujiiDisc 41: Music Is the Message2: Electric Frog (Part 1)3: El Máximo Solar4: Soul Vibrations5: Love the Life You Live (Part 1)/Love the Life You Live (Part 2)6: Stop, Look & Listen7: Blowing With the Wind8: Funky GrannyDisc 51: Good Times2: Country Junky3: Wild Is Love4: North, East, South, West5: Making Merry Music6: I Remember John W.
