They continued through the 80s with more Platinum albums, including Emergency, which featured four Top 20 singles. The use of “Jungle Boogie” in 1994’s Pulp Fiction brought a new generation of fans to the group, and David Lee Roth invited them to open for Van Halen’s A Different Kind Of Truth tour in 2012, after catching their set at Glastonbury. 2016’s Kool & The Gang And Friends! had them collaborating with artists including Sean Paul, Angie Stone, Redman, Jamiroquai, Lisa Stansfield, and more. Kool & The Gang have won multiple Grammy® and American Music Awards, have been inducted into the Songwriters Hall Of Fame, and "Celebration" was included in the class of 2020 to the Library of Congress National Recording Register and to the Grammy Hall of Fame!
