Kool & the Gang
Believe it or not, Gold is the first compilation with U.S. distribution to provide a fair and rather thorough glance at Kool & the Gang's career from 1969 through 1987. Dozens upon dozens of other sets either focus on one of the group's distinct eras or attempt clumsily to appease those who want "Jungle Boogie" and "Joanna" in one spot. The ...

James "J.T." Taylor
Hip-O's 2001 Greatest Hits collection pulls off a nifty trick by balancing J.T. Taylor's solo hits with duet numbers and sides he fronted with Kool & the Gang. So, while this technically isn't a retrospective of his solo career, this is what people looking for the best of Taylor should turn to, since it has his best performances, whether he's ...

Various Artists
Time Life's Classic 80's is one of the thousands of compilations dedicated to the '80s. This one sticks to mainstream rock singles that were extremely popular during the decade, with the bulk of the inclusions coming from the earlier half. Odds are just about anyone has at least one or two guilty pleasures here, but the selection is very random. ...

Too Hot Live

by
Kool & the Gang
Too Hot Live is a live Kool & the Gang set, presumably from the mid-'80s based on the track selection, when Kool & the Gang were at the height of their popularity. All the hits are here, performed fairly close to their studio counterparts. The only exception is "Too Hot," where they stretch out a bit, showing off some of the jazz chops that were ...

In the Heart
(1983)
more music like this
by
Kool & the Gang
By the time 1983's In the Heart hit the streets, Kool & the Gang had left the fast lanes of funk for the smoother ride of the adult-oriented R&B expressway. Nevertheless, their grasp of 1980s soul sonics ensured that the band continued to top the charts with a verve and style that left their early influences firmly behind. With Ronald Bell ...

by
Kool & the Gang
Since this covers Kool & the Gang's career from the late '70s onward, it can't be considered the Ultimate Collection. It's nothing if not thorough with its period of coverage, though not many will need a three-disc set like it. There's more than enough room to include the big guns -- "Ladies Night," "Too Hot," "Take My Heart (You Can Have It if ...

This budget-line disc is a pleasant mix of ballads (Larry Graham's "One in a Million You," Atlantic Starr's "Always," Shirley Murdock's "As We Lay") and dance lite (Al B. Sure's "Night and Day," Ready for the World's "Oh Sheila," Levert's "Casanova"). The collection is a decent, albeit incomplete, slice of '80s soul hits. Like the rest of this ...

Kool & the Gang fans usually divide along the instrumental finesse of their early-'70s sides or the hit-heavy popularity of their late-'70s and early-'80s material. Titling a disc The Best of Kool & the Gang immediately causes battle lines to be drawn, and the scarcity of material here from their mid-'70s artistic peak -- only "Jungle Boogie" and ...
