As One is a polished early-80s album from Kool & The Gang, bridging their classic funk roots with the smoother, radio-friendly R&B sound that defined their later career. Produced by Eumir Deodato, the album delivers tight grooves, crisp horn arrangements, and upbeat dancefloor energy.
While not as commercially dominant as Celebrate! or Something Special, As One is well-liked by collectors for its consistent funk-disco feel and strong ensemble playing.
