Spirit of the Boogie

Spirit of the Boogie, the sixth album by Kool & the Gang, was released in August of 1975. Many consider it a follow up to their previous album, Wild and Peaceful, considering how the track “Jungle Jazz” has the same rhythm pattern as their previous smash hit single, “Jungle Boogie”. The album overall is considered to have African and Southern-India inspired styles spread across all the tracks.
