GRAMMY® Award-winning Rock & Roll Hall of Fame® Inductees and iconic New Jersey R&B group Kool & The Gang unveil their new Greatest Hits collection via Island, Mercury Records, and Universal Music Enterprises (UMe). It notably stands out as the band’s first new vinyl release in decades.

Greatest Hits is pressed on a limited-edition 1LP platinum ice vinyl as a special online exclusive as well as black 1LP vinyl and 1CD.

Assembling a definitive sampling of smashes, the group serve up a “Kool Dozen” of signature staples and generational anthems. The album flaunts everything from funky gems such as “Jungle Boogie,” “Ladies Night,” “Celebration,” and “Get Down On It” to the soulful “Cherish” and more. Greatest Hits features a compelling and extensive historical essay penned by one of the band’s closest confidants.

In July, Kool & The Gang dropped the Kool Summer EP, collecting 6 brand new Official Remixes of various classics from their catalog by the likes of Young Franco, DJ Crazy, Prince Hakim Bell, and more.

1. Hollywood Swinging
2. Jungle Boogie
3. Misled
4. Ladies Night
5. Open Sesame – Pt. 1
6. Summer Madness
7. Celebration
8. Get Down On It
9. Too Hot
10. Fresh
11. Joanna
12. Cherish

Boasting an incomparable discography, the band’s impact remains unprecedented and this newly correlated collection opens on a funky jam that was a born automatic banger Hollywood Swinging and one of the funkiest, most badass songs in the history of funk Jungle Boogie and then we get the 80’s synth and guitar beauty Misled, an anthem for women everywhere within Ladies Night, the R&B and soul combo of Open Sesame – Pt. 1, before we are brought forth on of the greatest instrumentals ever created Summer Madness.

Along next is the timeless, endlessly happy tune Celebration and the smooth jam Get Down On It and they are in turn backed seamlessly by the steamy soulful R&B (complete with wicked sax solo) Too Hot, their tribute to life and happiness within the dancefloor smash Fresh, the set rounding out on the soulfully beautiful Joanna, closing on their eternal love song for living the life we live within Cherish.

Kool & The Gang have continued to make waves throughout culture. Last year, they were officially inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame® as part of the “Class of 2024,” delivering a showstopping performance during the annual ceremony as well. Meanwhile, they dropped their most recent album, People Just Wanna Have Fun, back in 2023 to acclaim from Billboard, Rolling Stone, and many more.

They’re currently in the midst of a global tour, which sees them crisscross Europe and canvas the United States and Canada.
