Open sesame

Get down with the genie
Shazam!

Groove with the genie
Open sesame of love
Fly, open up your mind

Get down with the genie
Get down with the genie
Get down with the genie

I am the genie of sound
Everybody get down, huah!

Open sesame of love

Abracadabra
Get on your camel and ride

Open sesame of love

Alakazam

Get down with the genie

Kool & the Gang

Kool & the Gang is an American jazz, R&B, soul, funk, and disco group from Jersey City. They were originally named the Jazziacs when they formed the group in 1964.

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.

The group was becoming prominent in the music industry in the 1970s with hits such as “Holly Wood Swinging”, “Jungle Boogie” and “Summer Madness”. However they cemented their legendary status after the addition of lead vocalist James “J.T.” Taylor. With his help they went on to create classic hits such as “Ladies Night”, “Celebration”, “Get Down On It”, “Cherish” and countless others.
