Kool & The Gang – Fresh

Once in a while, a song will offer a “new” definition to a word that is then used in pop culture.

Kool & The Gang did just that with “Fresh” in 1984.

Released as a single from the album, ‘Emergency’, it was a “fresh” take on the word, describing something or someone that’s “new and exciting”.

It peaked at #9 on the U.S. Hot 100 and topped both U.S. R&B and Dance charts!
