The Kay-Gees - Keep On Bumpin' & Masterplan (LP 1974 Gang - CD 1993 De-Lite Expanded Version) - Rare Soul/Funk (FLAC 401MB)

This was the debut LP from the Kay-Gee's who came from Jersey City, New Jersey. Formed in the early 1970s they proved that the band led by Kevin Bell (brother to Kool & the Gang's Ronald) had all the deep, driving grooves, kinetic energy, and street-corner vibes of funk's master outfit. Initially they were Kool And The Gang protégés Produced by Ronald Bell and Kool & the Gang, this album is full of strong lead tracks and plenty more strong material, like "Hustle Wit Every Muscle" (used as the theme song to the television show Party). The Kay-Gee's' horn section was equal to Kool & the Gang's, and if they lacked a few of the awesome hooks that propelled Ronald Bell's group into the R&B charts on a regular basis, alto/soprano Pete Duarte was a superior soloist and female vocal trio `Something Sweet` filled in the gaps on the great jam "Let's Boogie" and "Wondering." The Kay-Gee's were also better at locking into great grooves, while Kool & the Gang spent too much time mixing up their style. In 1976 they moved to De-Lite Records & Disbanded in late 1970s after recording 4 studio albums & 13 x 45,s.
