The story behind
Pass It On, according to DoReSol
The song Pass It On by Kool & the Gang, lasting 4 minutes and 32 seconds, emerged from a period of great creative momentum for the band. This track is part of Something Special, the group’s thirteenth studio album, released in 1981. It was a record that solidified their success, being the third consecutive album to achieve platinum certification. The album resonated strongly, particularly in the United Kingdom, where it became their first successful album and the most notable to date, largely driven by the popularity of the single Get Down on It.
Within Something Special, Pass It On joins other tracks that marked a milestone on the charts. Songs like Steppin' Out, which reached position 12 on the R&B chart and 89 on the Pop chart, and Take My Heart, which peaked at number 1 on R&B and 17 on Pop, showcase Kool & the Gang’s ability to create hits that resonated with audiences. Additionally, the album included Stand Up and Sing, which featured in the 1982 film The Pirate Movie.
