Video: Dig Of The Day: Kool & The Gang – Celebration (1980)

An all time classic from the legendary New Jersey jazz, R&B, soul, funk and brilliant disco group Kool & The Gang, and their simply amazing tune Celebration. They went through several musical phases during their recording career, starting out with a purist jazz sound, then funk and R&B, progressing to a smooth pop-funk ensemble, and in the post-millennium creating music with a modern, electro-pop sound.

Celebration is off their 14th album Celebrate!, released on De-Lite Records in 1980. They were busy no doubt, considering they were formed in 1964, put out their debut in 1970 and only 10 years later, 14th album came out.

Produced by Kool & The Gang and Eumir Deodato
