EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW

Kool & the Gang, officially launched in 1969, after performing for five years under various band titles, has influenced the music of three generations and, at the age of 49, the band has become true recording industry legends.

Thanks to iconic songs like Celebration, Cherish, Jungle Boogie, Summer Madness and Open Sesame, they’ve earned two Grammy Awards, seven American Music Awards, 25 Top Ten R&B hits, nine Top Ten Pop hits and 31 gold and platinum albums.

In 1979, Kool & the Gang unveiled a smooth new sound with Ladies Nigh and became their first platinum album. The #1 R&B title track reached #8 at Pop. It was followed by Too Hot (#3 R&B, #5 Pop). The 80’s would see them dominate the mainstream, starting with the double platinum-selling album Celebrate (driven by the international monster hit Celebration, which spent six weeks atop the R&B chart and became a #1 Pop single).

Celebration, which played as the American hostages returned from Iran, remains de rigueur at joyous occasions worldwide. The smashes Get Down On It, Take My Heart, Let’s Go Dancing, Joanna, Tonight, Misled, the #1 R&B, #2 Pop giant Cherish and the #1 R&B anthem Fresh (these last three from the multi- platinum LP Emergency) solidified the group’s international stardom.

In 2014, they were honored with a BET Soul Train Lifetime Achievement Award and in October 2015, in the town they sing about in one of their earliest hits, “Hollywood Swinging,” Kool & the Gang was honored to take their place as American musical icons with a star on The Hollywood Walk of Fame.

In 2016, they released a single, "Sexy (Where’d You Get Yours),” which rose to #15 on the Billboard Adult R& B chart. The song signifies a modernization of Kool & the Gang’s unmistakable sound, down to the dance floor-tailored bass grooves and the perfectly timed horns. It was their first airplay chart hit in a decade.

Kool & the Gang’s 50th Anniversary is just around the corner. Here is how they have begun to celebrate the milestone:

Induction into the New Jersey Hall of Fame.

In a touching tribute, a street they grew up on in Jersey City has been renamed in their honor: “Kool & the Gang Way.”

“Celebration” was inducted into the Grammy Hall Of Fame

Kool’s bass is displayed at the new Smithsonian Institution National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, DC.

Artifacts from the band’s archive have recently gone on display, next to Count Basie, at the newly- opened Grammy Museum Experience in Newark, NJ.

Induction into the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame.

Kool & the Gang continues to delight fans around the globe with their timeless hits and amazing live performances.

DR. TODD FRISCH

Dr. Todd Frisch is a teacher, speaker and author WTF? Why the Face: A Practical Guide to Understanding Health & Personality Through Facial Diagnosis. He is also the founder and technical advisor of the nationally-acclaimed health transformation program SHAPE ReClaimed.

After graduating from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1981, Dr. Todd has never stopped seeking education. He spent endless hours studying the manifestation of illness and took every opportunity to learn something that might help a patient. No book was too technical (or too expensive), no seminar was too far away, no class was too peculiar.

“All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.”

– Arthur Schopenhauer, German philosopher

Dr. Todd’s unquenchable thirst for knowledge led him to receive 2500 hours of post-graduate training in traditional Chinese medicine, 750 hours in nutrition and 80 hours in iridology. He served as president of the American Board of Chiropractic Acupuncture and the Council of Chiropractic Acupuncture and currently teaches for the Missouri state license renewal program and at annual SHAPE ReClaimed symposiums.

Dr. Todd has always practiced out-of-the-box techniques in diagnosis and treatment, all with a simple yet determined focus of helping sick people get well. His specialties include restorative medicine, nutrition, homeopathy, kinesiology, acupuncture, iridology, traditional Chinese medicine and facial diagnosis.

In his private practice, each challenge or difficult patient case ignited a desire to be like his childhood hero, Sherlock Holmes, and see what no one else saw. He obsessed over finding that missing puzzle piece and getting to the underlying cause of what’s not right in each patient. While he may have been seen as a quack by his medical contemporaries, Dr. Todd saw amazing successes and even miracles using an individualized and restorative approach to medicine. Today, these methods are becoming more widely accepted because patients demand and deserve better care.
