From Nairobi to Newark, Kool & the Gang has performed continuously longer than any R&B group in history and their bulletproof funk and jazzy arrangements have also made them the most sampled R&B band of all time. A reviewer recently called their incredible performance a “24-karat show.”
Today, the group enjoys worldwide fame and recognition and a following that spans generations due in part to the group’s widely sampled catalogue. Kool & the Gang’s drum beats, bass, guitar, and signature horn lines lace the tracks of numerous artists including the Beastie Boys, Jay-Z, Madonna, Janet Jackson, and Cypress Hill. Their music is also featured on the soundtracks for Rocky, Saturday Night Live, Pulp Fiction, Wreck-It-Ralph and countless others.
