THIS WEEK IN MUSIC HISTORY (June 8, 1985) It was twenty-nine years ago this week that American jazz, R&B, soul, funk and disco group Kool & the Gang were peaking at the No. 9 position on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart with their big hit single, Fresh. The song was the groups ninth Top 10 pop hit since 1974, and their seventeenth Top 40 pop hit since their first, Funky Stuff, peaked at No. 29 in 1973. Fresh also spent one week at No. 1 on Billboard magazines Hot Black Singles chart in May of 85 (their eighth No. 1 hit on this chart since Hollywood Swinging hit the top in June 1974). It also went to No. 1 on Billboards Hot Dance/Club Songs chart (their second No. 1 single on this chart since Celebration/Take It to the Top went to the top in December 1980).
