After forming in 1964 and undergoing several iterations of name and line-up, Kool and the Gang was born in 1970 in Jersey City. The band found its first taste of success with its fourth album Wild and Peaceful (1973), which launched the US top-ten singles "Jungle Boogie" and "Hollywood Swinging". After another line-up shuffle, the group enjoyed a resurgence in the late-1970s and early-1980s, releasing three hugely successful albums – Ladies' Night (1979), Celebrate! (1980), and Emergency (1984). Emergency proved to be their highest selling album, with two million copies sold in the US alone, and it produced the hit singles "Ladies' Night", the US number one "Celebration", "Get Down on It", "Joanna", and "Cherish". Over the years, the band has won many awards, including two Grammy Awards, seven American Music Awards, and, in 2006, a Music Business Association Chairman's Award for artistic achievement. In 2018, founding members and brothers Robert "Kool" Bell and Ronald Bell, and vocalist James "J.T." Taylor, were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame for their work in the band.
