Drummer and founding member of Kool and the Gang, George Brown has passed away from lung cancer in hospital in California. He was 74.

Mr. Brown along with a few of his New Jersey friends formed the group and took the name in the late 1960's.

Their musical peak came during the 1970's with hits like Get Down On It - Ladies Night and the much celebrated Celebration.

The group paid tribute to Mr. Brown's life and career on their Facebook page by calling him the funkiest drummer who ever lived. May he rest in peace.
