Reviews:

All the Hits!!!

I knew Kool and the Gang was an awesome band. I grew up listening to them. But I never realize the impact that they had on modern music until I got this collection. Just hearing the songs (hits) back to back, made me respect their work even more. In a time, where R&B artists actually wrote, produced, and played their own music, what set Kool and the Gang apart from others is they had alot of crossover hits. But they never lost their funkness or koolness. Get this collection and learn to love Kool and the Gang all over again.

Heavy on the funk here! Loads of hits!

If you haven't gotten this album, you need to NOW! Loads of funky songs by Kool & The Gang, from early hits like Jungle Boogie to the classic Celebration to Get Down on It, to Hollywood Swinging, to Fresh, to the rock-inspired Misled, to mellow numbers like Cherish and Joanna to the heavy funk of Victory! They were a consistent group with their memorable singles. Liked the horn sections, the strong live drumming and crash of the cymbals, the smooth bass guitar on many songs! James JT Taylor has one of the best falsettos to back a major band! Two songs sound alike, such as Take it to the Top and Hi-de-Ho. I still love Big Fun and its groove! It's no doubt that many rappers like to sample the band's songs, because Kool had some heavy funk beds, addictive grooves and rhythm sections! The Jason Nevins remix of Celebration is pumping too and updates the album more to today's times. It is so entertaining for much of its 70+ minutes, as if you're hearing the band live! Most impressive is that the band and Eumir Deodato produced many of the songs, an original effort on their part! They are a phenomenal band in the biggest way and this album represents their best music!

You're Right...ALMOST the Greatest Hits

This thumping, soulful collection of one of the greatest pop/dance and R&B/Rock bands that exploded out of Harlem and took the disco craze by storm in the 70s' and 80s' is almost complete. It includes all of their songs from the funk intro era of the late 70s' to the more pop/rock mixed and synthesized dance hits they made in the 80s'...except for 'Stone Love'! How could they leave that out? There are other collections made by tons of companies that feature all of these songs plus 'Stone Love' and others that are missing, plus several remixes and liner notes. If this is your collection though, its perfect sounding and a good edition.
