Kool & the Gang will receive the 2019 Marian Anderson Award on November 12, 2019, during the eagerly anticipated Gala and Concert at The Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts. American R&B, jazz, soul, funk and disco group Kool & the Gang has influenced the music of three generations and have become true recording industry legends. The Marian Anderson Award was created to celebrate critically acclaimed artists who have used their talents for personal artistic expression and/or whose body of work has contributed to our society in a positive and singular manner.
American R&B, jazz, soul, funk and disco group Kool & the Gang officially launched in 1969 and have performed continuously longer than any other R&B group in history. Kool & the Gang have earned two Grammy Awards, seven American Music Awards, 25 Top Ten R&B hits, nine Top Ten Pop hits and 31 gold and platinum albums. In 2014, they were honored with the BET Soul Train Lifetime Achievement Award and in 2015, the group took their place as American musical icons with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. This year, Kool & the Gang will be celebrating their 50th anniversary of performing as a group.
