Ricky Koole - Rosie (Dutch)

[mitjalovse]

The 70's did mold many musical types into different shapes and some of them eventually evolved into something distinct later on in the decade. I mean, funk had some of the best eras then, but the genre also paved the way for disco. To be honest, many musicians in the former styles ended up playing in the latter, though that didn't feel like pandering. No, they achieved the natural development of their idioms with Kool & The Gang being one such case. I mean, listen to their early 70's records. While you can trace the crumbs to their later dancefloor anthems, this is funk at one of the greatest times. The groove is so strong as you can hear on the link and one does notice they asked themselves – how to make this even groovier?

[seoyangi]

HELLO HELLO SO UR THOUGHTS ON THE RECENT STAGES..???

ok during the whole episode i was just so so stressed so i didnt watch it till the end but i watched all the performances yesterday, tbh all teams deserved to win😔and the voting was kinda...

so time after time : binghua crying while listening to it is so real cuz i feel so emotional even tho i dont understand the lyrics. and youngseo, binghua and chenyu stood out the most to me. like binghua's soft voice reminds me of ricky so much. and youngseo's angelic voice makes me want to cry everytime like his voice is so sweet😭 and our stable king wu chenyuuu like i loved him since love wins all. but i was worried after seeing they were formed together because i was like oh damn they r all vocalists i just know there is gonna be lot of drama and i was right

merry go round : honestly i was so happy because i literally put seyun, andy, kyoungbae, seungho, kenshin and sungmin into mgr lol lol, rlly rlly happy that my pookie bae seungho got 1st place :3 he looked like a cotton candy in that outfit and his broad ass shoulders *sigh* but andy getting last place is foul thats all i have to say 😔

trigger : i was so happy when i found out they were performing together because i almost formed that team too. lynnlynn and yichen stood out the most for me in that performance, definitely because of their angelic vocals🫶🏻 im rlly hoping that yichen and binghua pulls a ricky and debut because if they dont i will kms. but like they can literally debut as a group ngl

breaking news : this is literally minseo, hyunwoo and jiahn's song. but i dont rlly have much to say abt this song cuz is not rlly my type of song 😔 but it somehow feels like this song was just made for hyunwoo? idk but his voice just suits this song so much

kool-aid : breaking news was made for hyunwoo and koolaid was made for everyone's fav diva atilla. i watched the performance on tv yesterday and i was just focused on atilla. out of all the performance i loved kool aid and trigger the most. the stage was decorated so beautifully and adds a little touch to the performance.

alright im done yapping 😜

George “Funky” Brown (January 15, 1948 - November 16, 2023) along with Robert “Kool” Bell on bass, his brother Ronald Bell on tenor, and lead vocalist James “J.T.” Taylor, was one of the main songwriters in the pop/R&B band Kool & The Gang. Their songs have been featured in films (“Jungle Boogie” was in Pulp Fiction while “Summer Madness” appeared in Rocky) and have been sampled countless times by artists including DJ Kool, Mase, Too Short, DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, Boogie Down Productions, Brand Nubian, De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, Nas, N.W.A., Kris Kross and Jermaine Dupri.

Jersey City native used to bang on things with butter knives when he was a child. He and future Kool & The Gang keyboardist Ricky West lived in the same building, and West introduced him to the band’s saxophonist and musical director Ronald Bell and trumpeter Robert Mickens, and soon they were playing in clubs six nights a week in a jazz band while still in high school.

In 1964, Bell and his brother Ronald Bell (keyboards), Mickens, Dennis “D.T.” Thomas (saxophone), West, he, and Charles Smith (guitar) were performing together in an instrumental jazz and soul group called the Jazziacs. They became Kool & the Gang in 1969, and have since played jazz, soul, funk, rock, and pop music, but struck commercial success in 1973 with their album Wild and Peaceful, which yielded the Top 10 hits “Jungle Boogie” and “Hollywood Swinging.”

After adding vocalist James “J.T.” Taylor, the group struck gold (1979-86) with major, self-written hits like “Ladies’ Night,” “Get Down on It,” “Joanna,” “Cherish” and the chart-topping “Celebration,” with Emergency selling two million copies. “Celebration” was used in national media coverage of the 1980 World Series, the 1981 Super Bowl, the 1981 NBA Championship, and the 1981 return of the Iran hostages.

He, with Kool & the Gang, has been inducted into the New Jersey Hall of Fame and there’s a street in Jersey City named in their honor. The Grammy-winning group has received the Soul Train Legend Award and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. #africanhistory365 #africanexellence

In acting class, we learned about Stainislavski’s Theory, and a big part of that is Objective. So I took my RtC Pokemon AU and analyized it for Objective!

also, feeling obligated to tag @margo-mania, the kool moot who is helping develop this goofy au!

Stainislavski’s Theory as used in my stupid RtC AU

“Objective”

Group objective: To find, study, and befriend (and maybe fight) the mythical Pokémon Deoxys

Singular Objectives:

Ricky: Wants to study the Pokémon that come from a land beyond our own. Spends hours staring up at the sky, looking for something, anything, that proves other life exists. Once he catches wind of Deoxys’s landing, he knows he’s found his evidence

Noel: Wants nothing more than to draw and write about the beauty and magic of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon. He tags along with Ricky because he’s starting to get lonely when it’s just him traveling alone with Absol. 

Ocean: Your stereotypical “wants to be the very best” trainer. She gets caught up with Noel and Ricky after her Vaporeon accidentally attacks them. She has been recently defeated at a Gym, and once the boys tell her about their quest to find Deoxys (Quest for the Other Worlds, as Noel calls it in his journal) she tags along in hopes that defeating Deoxys will make her strong enough to become the Champion.

Constance: She’s lived her entire life cooking at her family’s inn. She loves her family and her home region, but she also longs for adventure. While they’re staying at the Inn, Ricky lets her look through his notes on space Pokémon. She is intrigued, and in the night, knocks on the group’s door. The four of them then run off into the night.

Mischa: A real man of mystery. His objective is entirely unclear. All the group knows is that he’s from a land far away and he’s been training with his Zoroark. It’s later revealed that he used to be a recruit of Team Plasma and feels really bad for it, so he’s distant. It doesn’t help that he and Noel are falling in love throughout this entire story because I am a sucker for Nischa. (Yes the others tease them the entire time)

Penny: Oh, dear sweet Penny…she’s on the run from the cops the entire time. She’s an ex Team Magma member who never quite abandoned her team. She’s mostly with Team Cyclone right now because they’re protecting her from law enforcement!

In a career that has lasted over fifty years, Kool & the Gang have been essential innovators in the sound of funk, soul, disco, and R&B, creating rock & roll’s most danceable anthems.

Kool & the Gang is an American R&B, soul, and funk group formed in Jersey City, New Jersey in 1964. Its founding members include brothers Robert "Kool" Bell and Ronald Bellaka "Khalis Bayyan", Dennis "Dee Tee" Thomas, Robert "Spike" Mickens, Charles Smith, George Brown, Sir Earl Toon, Woodrow "Woody" Sparrow, and Ricky Westfield. They have undergone numerous changes in personnel and have explored many musical styles throughout their history, including jazz, rhythm and blues, soul, funk, disco, rock, and pop music. The group changed their name several times. Settling on Kool & the Gang, the group signed to De-Lite Records and released their debut album, Kool and the Gang (1969).

Kool & the Gang are one of the grooviest and most sampled bands of all time, with a recognizable sound that resonates across generations and has brought joy to millions of fans around the globe.

Kool & the Gang took their funky groove all the way to the top with a mix of pop songwriting, fantastic vocals, and a killer horn section. Formed in Jersey City, New Jersey, in 1964, brothers Robert “Kool” and Ronald Bell got their start in clubs, mastering a repertoire of jazz standards and Motown covers. In 1969, they signed to newly formed De-Lite Records and released the up-tempo instrumental “Kool & the Gang.” They subsequently released two live albums showcasing their ability to produce brilliantly crafted songs and blistering jams over an infectious beat. Their big break came in 1973 with the album Wild and Peaceful, which leaned deep into funky grooves, horn arrangements, and chanted vocals on the songs “Funky Stuff,” “Jungle Boogie,” and “Hollywood Swinging” – three instant dance floor classics. They slid easily into the growing disco scene, with their “Open Sesame” featured on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack.

In the 1980s, Kool & the Gang added lead vocalist James “J.T.” Taylor and released two massive hits, the bumping “Ladies Night” and the smooth “Too Hot.” With this, they accomplished something rare in the music industry – maintaining the fans who loved their funky roots, while reaching an entirely new audience tuned into their growing pop sensibilities. In 1980, they blew the roof off with the international hit “Celebration” and produced nineteen charting singles during the decade.

Kool & the Gang’s impact cannot be understated – from the throwback grooves of Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars to the inclusion of the group’s songs in almost every party playlist. Countless samples of their music laid the foundation for some of hip-hop’s biggest hits by artists including Eric B. & Rakim, Tupac, Lil’ Kim, and JAY-Z.

Hiram Bullock – Way Kool

On the follow-up to his Atlantic debut, guitarist and producer Hiram Bullock pulled out all the stops and dove wholeheartedly onto the “funk” side of jazz-funk and left out the jazz. No, that’s not a bad thing. If anything, Way Kool feels a lot more like a funky rock record than anything else. With a handpicked cast of studio greats, Bullock set out to make a party record and he did it ... (Thom Jurek/AllMusic).

Fez's Tentative List of Favorite Bands/Artists...

1. Prince

2. Michael Jackson

3. Queen

4. Village People

5. Stevie Wonder

6. Milli Vanilli (yes, even after they're outed as frauds)

7. Elton John

8. David Bowie

9. Wham!/George Michael

10. Boyz II Men

11. Bob Marley

12. A Flock of Seagulls/a bunch of gimmicky 80s stuff

13. Ricky Martin/the Macarena/a bunch of gimmicky 90s stuff

14. Enrique Iglesias

15. Whitney Houston

16. The Police

17. KC and the Sunshine Band (and everyone makes fun of him)

18. Kool and the Gang

19. Earth, Wind, and Fire (Eric listens when no one is looking)

20. Gloria Estefan/Miami Sound Machine

21. The Commodores (Eric likes the song "Easy")

Note: From all the inklings of him liking disco/R&B (such as specifically stating he likes Stevie Wonder), I'm like ninety percent sure that he only likes most of the rock stuff the rest like to fit in (or, like the hard rock stuff for Eric, it's just a phase). The only rock I see him actively enjoying is Queen (he really likes Freddie Mercury; it's complicated), David Bowie, and The Police.

Quotes that are jarring if you read them in the voice of Wonka from "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory"

Ken Kesey, The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test: "I smoked pot, drank beer, and stayed out until 3 in the morning."

Dave Eggers, What Is the What: "Martha, my dear Martha, please don't slurp that soup. It is ruining your wig."

Mark Twain, Huckleberry Finn: "I found out I am an Existential Determinist, which means that I am never wrong."

From a lecture on Mark Twain and Huckleberry Finn by Ricki London, someone who apparently really does talk like that
