Released in August, 1975 (both the official site and 1996 reissue agree on this)and reaching #5 R&B and #48 Pop. As a higher R&B climber then "Wild And Peaceful" I need not mention that it yet again went gold. The tracks released from the album were "Spirit Of The Boogie" which became the bands' third R&B #1 and also reached #35 Pop (the B-side was "Summer Madness" or "Jungle Jazz" - or both - depending on where you look so I am now beginning to believe Kool & The Gang released double singles like most groups do today a fact that won't help anyone find all their singles with B-sides because now their is two at least for all of them however 12" or English alternative are also possibilities) and "Caribbean Festival" which reached #6 R&B and #55 Pop (the B-side was a disco version of the same track).
This was the gang's Afrocentric album apparently but since I am not one hundred percent sure I know exactly what this word means I have decided to call this the natural LP you know how to find out why - wait or mail
Finally the square brackets on the instrumentation section below are there because (apart from the reason on the explanations page) I took them from the "Love & Understanding" in sleeve in case they are on "Cosmic Energy" which I have moved the same applies on "Love & Understanding" except I can guarantee they come from "Sunshine And Love" (However Claydes' vocals are at the end of "Caribbean Festival" and they just weren't mentioned).
