J.T along with the WHOLE of The Gang ....With these two classic elements it made ONE complete sound ... long overdue entry to The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame... I really hope that J.T will perform with the remaining members of The Gang ... just for this ONE SPECIAL OCCASION 🤞🤞
@Buc_Stops_Here
Ай бұрын
I am with you on this one. The Hall of Fame win will only mean something if JT shows up with the remaining members. Otherwise it will be they receive the reward and that is it. All the biggest hits were with JT and they faded badly after he left in 1986. Stone Love was the last top 10 hit from this album called ironically "Forever" as he left after it was completed.
@lapson19

The original members did NOT invite JT to ALL their lifetime achievement awards. JT NEVER chose not to attend. Songwriters hall of fame said if JT isnt here, we wont honor you. Hence JT was there. JT was Kool and the gang, gave them their fame and put them on the map.

Hey All, hope everyone is safe from the virus effect. Anyway, it makes me feel very good reading the comments about the Victory song. I co-produced and did synthesizer programming for the entire album. We had such a great time recording and producing that record. The band was fantastic and on point. JT was very fast recording his vocals and his lyric writing was effortless. Working with Ronald Bell (Khalis Bayyan) & company in the studio was a such fun! The best part was the total musical freedom and trust bestowed upon as producers/programmers to make this project successful. Merging the Kool And The Gang sound with the 80's digital era was a great time in my career and the experiences I hope to never forget! Boy do I missed those days!😛

For drums Mainly a modified Linn 9000, Roland drums and pads. We had our own studio in West Orange,NJ and was fortunate to have a next door neighbor who owned a music store.
