Thank you, my friend SGT (Join to see) for sharing the music video of Kool & The Gang performing the upbeat song "Celebration"
Background: The only Kool & The Gang's USA number-one hit. It was certified "Platinum".
Ronald Bell, Kool & the Gang's sax player, told Billboard , "The initial idea came from reading the Q'uran. I was reading the passage where God was creating Adam, and the angels were celebrating and singing praises. That inspired me to write the basic chords and the line 'Everyone around the world, come on, let's celebrate'."
"Celebration" written by sax player Ronald Nathan Bell and Robert Earl Bell
