Another year, another hit album but surprisingly not another platinum because unfortunately this seven track album only made gold status.
However this is not to say that it is a less good album perhaps it got close but some fans of the last three albums were for some reason unable to purchase this one.
The album was yet again released in September and again created a number of hits for "Kool & The Gang" and charted #5 R&B/#29 Pop.
However this album is different then it's predecessors as it contains only seven track instead of eight.
All websites I have visited agree on the first four tracks on the album (as listed on the "discography" page) and the fact that it ends on "Think It Over". However they do not agree on tracks five and six beyond the fact that one is "Let's Go Dancin'" and the other is "Pretty Baby" but thanks to the efforts of "JudgeFunky" the mystery is no longer a problem the information at the top and bottom of the page are a result of that work.
