Remembering back to New Year's Eve 1980, and watching Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve, My strongest memory was the 'Celebration' of the new decade with the song, "Celebration" by the group, Kool and the Gang. 33 years later I am seeing this group and hearing this song!
Kool and the Gang played this past Friday at the Snoqualmie Casino near Seattle. The audience made up of mostly women and an over 40 crowd, stayed in their seats mostly during such hit Ballads as Cherish, Joanna, Fresh, and Misled, as well as their older funkier, Jungle Boogie and Hollywood Swinging.
