Query: Without JT, the songs just aren't the same.

These Kool & the Gang songs are great, but only when they are sung by lead singer, JT Taylor. When he left the group, they were just not the same. This CD contains live versions of most of the songs originally sung by him; but he isn't the lead singer on this CD. Therefore, it isn't worth buying. Their old stuff before JT is great, but nobody can replace what he did with the group.
