Soe's Balls of Steel: Operation Rubble, 147 Willing Volunteers And 25,000 Tons of Ball Bearings by Sophie Jackson

"Light of Worlds" is the 5th studio album, and 7th album of new material by the American R&B group Kool & the Gang. Released in 1974, it was later remastered by Polygram and was a second success for the band, reaching #16 in the R&B Charts and #63 in the Pop Charts. It was a landmark in the funk/jazz fusion genre of the 1970s. "Light of Worlds" is regarded as Kool & the Gang's most spiritual and sophisticated work, produced in the wake of the success of their previous album, Wild and Peaceful. While it was their seventh album of original material, the band considered Light of the Worlds their ninth LP (counting two compilations), and therefore consciously chose nine songs for the album to represent the nine planets in the solar system. The album contains rock-inspired funk set to jazz-informed playing with afrobeat influences and a tinge of analogue synthesizing.
