Kool & The Gang: Bringing Funk To The Folks
John Abbey, Blues & Soul, 18 February 1975
IT WAS sad to stand there at the Rainbow Theatre in London's Finsbury Park area (five minutes from the Arsenal football ground for geography lovers!) and realise that this was to be probably the theatre's final soul concert. And what finer way to bow out than via a 'live' album by the night's stars. Kool & the Gang. The theatre is already a legend in the realms of Rock music and now Kool and the Gang would immortalise it for soul, jazz and funk fans.
