Kool and the Gang were known for their funky but radio popular stylings. They have carved themselves a place in music history and reached great commercial heights in the late 70's and early to mid 80's. Their influences of soul, jazz, funk and rock indicated their versatility. Open Sesame was a funky dance tune, not quite disco but really danceable! You could almost see a big rock wall opening and a huge dance party going on inside waiting for you to come in. Special disco version here!
