Wild is love
It is everything you feel inside
Like an early spring
That takes away the chill
And leaves a warmth inside

Sitting in my chair
With my head between my hands
Thinking of you and me
How happy we will be
Loving you today
Was all I wanted anyway
We can be happy, girl, together

Wild is love
It is everything you feel inside
Like an early spring
That takes away the chill
And leaves a warmth inside

Sitting in my chair
With my head between my hands
Thinking of you and me
How happy we will be
Loving you today
Was all I wanted anyway
We can be happy, girl, together

Loving you is all that I desire
You in every dream I dream
Loving you is all that I desire
You in every dream I dream, mm-hmm...

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.
