ARTS Pick: Kool and The Gang

 Wedding crashers

Throughout Kool and The Gang’s long history, one tenet of its sound remains constant: It is a band that demands to be danced to. From its origins as a jazz band through the “Jungle Boogie” days playing R&B and funk, to post-disco in the ’80s (introducing the number one song “Celebration” to the world), there’s been no shortage of groovin’ tunes or weddings to play them at.
