Kool & The Gang’s George Brown Signs ‘Multi-Million-Dollar’ Music Catalog Deal

Kool & The Gang is known as one of the most influential groups of our time. As previously reported by AfroTech, they have been sampled over 1,800 times.

“I’m very, very honored by colleagues, wherever they may be, when they start sampling,” Brown told AfroTech during an interview. “We are the No. 1 sampled band and because of my beats, I’m the No. 1 sampled drummer and, you know, I didn’t even realize that until interviewers started coming by and saying that. I don’t… my mind doesn’t think like that.”
