Kool & The Gang are a highly successful jazzR&Bsoulfunkdisco group. They originally formed in Jersey City, New Jersey, United States in 1964, playing jazz. They went through several musical phases in their career. Light of the Worlds was, by far, Kool & the Gang's most spiritual and sophisticated work, produced in the wake of the success of their previous album, Wild and Peaceful. While it was their seventh album of new material, the Gang considered Light of the Worlds their ninth LP counting two compilations, and therefore consciously chose nine songs for the album, to represent the nine planets in the solar system. The album contains rock-inspired funk set to jazz-informed playing with afrobeat influences and a tinge of analogue synthesizing. Light of Worlds, Kool & the Gangs fifth album, was released in September of 1974. Light of Worlds was yet another success for the band, falling a year after their previous album, Wild And Peaceful. The album reached the 16 spot on the Billboard R&B Charts, and 63 on the pop charts. Heralded as the groups most sophisticated and spiritual work, the album contains rock-inspired funk, jazz, and a small amount of analog synthesizing. For the 9 tracks on the album, Kool & the Gang decided that they would model each track after the 9 planets in the solar system. Street Corner Symphony, 04:38. Fruitman, 05:24.
