https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-54098501 please log in to view this image Ronald Bell, one of the founder members of Kool & the Gang, has died at the age of 68. He started the band with his brother Robert "Kool" Bell in 1964. Despite being a card carrying member of the Headbanger's Club I went to see Kool and the Gang at the Hammersmith Odeon. Proper musicians.
Sadly the version of K&TG I saw didn't feature JT Taylor on vocals but the band were solid. Did anyone else sing "Get down on it, suck my helmet"? It was popular round my way.
