Alright!

Love the life you live
So you can live the life you love
Let's try to get along
Let's everyone forgive, yeah

Time will not wait
It's not too late
To open the gate

Love your life and live your life

Love the life you live
So you can live the life you love
Let's try to get along
Let's everyone forgive, yeah

Life's not a dream
So it may seem
Wake up and see

Whoo!
Love your life, live your life

Yeah!
Ooh, that funky mama!
Whoo!

Whoo!
Get down!

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.
