“Kool & The Gang are worldwide generators of good feelings between their soulful jazz and incredible rhythms,” said Cathy Price, vice president of marketing, Niagara Casinos. “We are so excited to welcome them back to enjoy their hit music and groove along with them once more.”
In a career that has lasted over 50 years, Kool & The Gang have been essential innovators in the sound of funk, soul, disco and R&B, creating rock ’n’ roll’s most danceable anthems.
Inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2024 – thanks to iconic songs “Celebration,” “Cherish,” “Jungle Boogie,” “Summer Madness,” “I Want to Take You Higher” and “Open Sesame,” Kool & the Gang have earned two Grammy Awards, seven American Music Awards, 25 top 10 R&B hits, nine top 10 pop hits and 31 Gold and Platinum albums. From Nairobi to Newark, Kool & the Gang has performed continuously – longer than any R&B group in history – and their bulletproof funk and jazzy arrangements have also made them the most sampled R&B band of all time.
