Kool & the Gang are interesting. First, these Brothers can play! And 70 million albums sold proves that. But there’s a first and second act to Kool and the Gang. Act 1 was definitely more funk driven. Their debut album, “Wild and Peaceful”, dropped in 1973 and was a stone cold winner. Birthed off that album was the thematic “Jungle Boogie,” “Hollywood Swinging” and horn-driven “Funky Stuff.” On following albums they generated hits like the melodic “Summer Madness” and dance-driven “Open Sesame.” Act 2. After disappearing from the scene for a few years, the band came back with a new lead singer and a much mellower R&B sound. That catapulted the group to top R&B and Pop status. From ’79 to ’84, the band blasted out six top 10 hits including “Ladies Night,” “Get Down on It,” “Fresh,” “Joanna” and the still popular, “Celebrate!” With that type of success, how can we not give love to Kool & the Gang!

Who would thought that a bunch of white guys from Scotland would have an impact on Funk during the 70s?! Formed in 1972, the Average White Band (AWB) hit their stride in 1975 with their signature song “Pick Up The Pieces” which reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. They followed that up with “Cut The Cake” off the same album, "AWB."
The print if taken from their signature album, AWB. It’s printed on a soft 4.3 oz. premium tri-blend t-shirt. The shirt runs a little small so if you like a looser fit, order the next larger size.

Bootsy Collins helped define a new sound in the 70s: FUNK! Bootsy got his start working for James Brown in 1970. You can hear him thumpin’ his bass on Brown’s “Sex Machine” and “Super Bad.” After leaving the Godfather, Bootsy hooked up with George Clinton in ’72 and the rest is history. This shirt celebrates his 1978 album “Bootsy? Playa of the Year” which featured the #1 R&B single, “Bootzilla.”

The t-shirt we use to print the designs is from a company call Next Level Apparel. They make some of the best t-shirts in the apparel biz. Our base t-shirt is their premium tri-blend crew neck t-shirt. This t-shirt is a mashup of 50% polyester, 25% combed ring spun and 25% rayon. That mix makes for three things: an extremely soft t-shirt that drapes nicely with a vintage-type look. So you’re getting a cool looking shirt that feels great. The t-shirt weighs 4.3 ounces. So you’re not wearing a bulletproof vest but a mid-weight garment. And since the fabric is mostly polyester and rayon, there is little, if any, shrinkage. Now the t-shirt does run a little small so if you like a roomer fit, please select the next size above what you normally wear.
Also, we don’t believe in offering you a one-style-fits-all or “unisex” t-shirt (whatever that is). We give the fellas and ladies a t-shirt that’s specifically made for them and their unique features. If a particular style of t-shirt isn’t available for a gender then we’ll let you know and recommend a size in that shirt that may accommodate you.
In the future, we’ll rollout different styles of tees like a scoop neck (for that off-the-shoulder Flashdance look), long sleeve, hoody and ¾ sleeve raglan so you’ll have a variety of options to choose from year round.
We recommend turning your t-shirt inside out when washing. Please machine wash in cold water with like colors. It’s best to hang dry but it’s cool if you tumble dry on low setting. Please do not iron on the decoration.
