Biography
The lead singer for Kool & the Gang from 1979 to 1988, James ‘J.T.’ Taylor presided over the group’s commercial — if not artist,ic — peak of the early to mid-’80s, later moving on to a solo career. Born August 16, 1953, Taylor joined Kool & the Gang at a point when the pioneering funk band was beginning to lose steam amidst the rise of disco. Five years after their last hit, the group enlisted both producer Eumir Deodato and Taylor and re-entered the Top Ten in 1979 with the decidedly disco-slanted ‘Ladies Night,’ a track which topped the R&B charts.
