Kool And The Gang
John Abbey, Blues & Soul, September 1971
CONSIDERING THAT Kool & The Gang have only ever had one British release they have an incredible following. That release well over a year ago now was their first record for Delite and entitled simply, Kool & the Gang and released on London. As every reader of B&S is by now aware, Kool will shortly be launched in this country on Mojo and with a maxi-single.
