My younger sister lost her fight to cancer this morning. Listening to this reminds me of when were in our 20s and 30 and we would just hit the road 1 or 2 am with this and the song "Riding High". R.I.P little sister.

I'm a 61 yr old white woman (who grew up outside of Baltimore) who grew up in the ’70s. “Cool & the Gang” was yes a black band, but so was every “Motown Hit.” My 1st 45 record was “Diana Ross.” We NEVER once used or heard the N-word or gave a shit if you were black or white. We loved ALL the COOL music the black artist played. And we also listened to Led Zeppelin, Stones, Doors, etc. This world is a mess right now! Our music influenced us then and unfortunately today. The lyrics & garbage they call music today are sinful!

not sure what made this a race thing with you. nobody said anything about race. music is music, we all have ears and a want to tickle them with music no matter where the music comes from. black and white and baltimore... shut up with the race shit. its music, music sees no color... only racist people do, so id take a hard look in the mirror next time you go to say something when youre listening to diana ross again. you think she cares who listens to her music? she made it for all to enjoy. liberals made racebaiting to separate us by colors. stupidest ideology ive ever heard. worked on you apparently. seems to work on the weak minded.

This song came out in 1974. The summer of 1974 was full of summer madness from what I recall. At least for me it was. That was the summer that my family and I moved to another house. We didn't move very far. In fact, we even stayed in the same county where we were living. However, I was just a little kid back then, so that was a big deal to me. This song captures the atmosphere perfectly of what that summer was like for me back in 1974.

My late friend Tommy was a life long L.A. Laker fan, and he sadly missed this week. He and I were backstage at the Kool and the Gang, K.C. and the Sunshine Band at Brown Square Park Rochester Music Festival 1993. In 1984 me and my ex met Kool, the Bassist and the Drummer and the Sax player before a show in OKC. This jam was our favorite, and perfect for how I feel, thinking about the blessings of Freedom. For my friend, and friends, be safe, and remember it ain't "free"...

Then ALL the neighbors bring out BBQ grills, card tables, food, MUSIC 🎵- usually there is a DJ - and a HUGE JUMPING JACK, BOUNCY HOUSE for the kids & games - maybe entertainment, family friendly- clowns, water balloons, food, drinks, music, fun....

I remember going to sleep to this song, riding to this song and watching my parents hand dance off this song. I can say its one of my favorite jazz songs of all time. I know my kids will adopt it as a favorite just like I did as a child. I can agree it don't matter what time of day or the mood you're in just listening to it will put you in a better place mentally.

Remember this jam in 7th grade on 8 track, this is what true jazz is, that's why it never dies or goes away, and it sounds better even 43 years later as I listen and remember all the good times we had back in the day, a good bottle wine

I was born in the late 70s. It is only now I am really digging around in the crates to find the real greats. People say the 60s or the 80s were the best decades of music. I disagree; the 70s was the meat filling to the sandwich....

This is definitely summer madness, crusin with friends in your beat down car, but that was all you guys had to get to the party and back down the highway early Saturday morning hardly any cars on the road coming back from a Friday party or club all nighter, with the sun rising in the distance and some of the guys too doped to speak crashed out on the back seat and you and your co driver just soaking it up. No words are spoken but you both understand the groove. Days you will never get back.. Cherish those precious moments, because the older you get the less friends you have...But music like this keeps the memories alive

This is one of my all time instrumental tracks, just love the early Jazz fused Kool & The Gang material, before they realised what a Ladies Night can do for you lol, this track has hypnotically eerie led melodies along synthesizer lines, which just oozes quality all the way through, i have never played this once on my deck, always requires a rewind, its Winter Sadness but miss the Summer Madness
@Cantbuyathrill9 жыл бұрын
Hypnotically eerie, wistfully entrancing. So deliciously jazzy, bordering on the existential. Can't believe Summer Madness and Ladies' Night came from the same band, they sound so opposite in feeling.

Chillin' early in the spring of 2015. The weather is breakin hot in mid March, St. Patrick's day. Some are drinking green beer, others are drinking 40's. Your choice. Ain't grilling yet but it's coming. Can't wait to explode this endless classic through the speakers later on this summer at a cookout. But for now, I'm enjoying this jazzy run on my balcony and sippin' and looking at God's beauty, and saying "wow."
