Jungle Jazz by Kool & The Gang (1975)



Let's get this straight, Disco is not the worst genre of music(as long as we're being all judgy). I would take disco over today's country or modern pop music any day of the week. That said, disco was not generally a genre that I loved. I suppose that's because it's so close to being funk, yet missing that magic something that makes me love funk so much. Kool & The Gang is a perfect representation illustrating the difference. Early Kool material was super funky(like today's featured track). By the time their massive hit Celebration came out in 1980, the funkiness was much more muted. See if you agree.
