Kool & the Gang

Tell me what's goin' on
What's poppin', baby?
What's crackin'?
What's happening?
Tell me what's goin' on

What's poppin', baby?
What's crackin', baby?
What's happening?
Tell me what's goin' on

Hey baby, what you no good
I'm just gettin' back, but you knew I would
War is hell, when will it end?
When will people start gettin' together again?

Are things really gettin' better
Like the newspaper say?
What else is new my friend
Besides, what I've read?

Can't find no work
Can't find no job, my friend
Money is tighter than it's ever been
Say man, I just don't understand

What's goin' on?
What's poppin'?
Yeah, what's crackin'?
I wanna know what it is
What's happening?
Yeah, what's happening, brother?

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.
