About this album

In The Heart shows Kool & The Gang refining their sleek early-1980s crossover sound, balancing funk, R&B and soul with a smoother pop edge. Released in 1983, the album is best known for the hit Joanna, a warm ballad that became one of the group’s biggest mainstream successes and helped extend their reach well beyond the funk charts. Elsewhere, the title track and cuts such as Tonight and You Can Do It underline the band’s gift for tight grooves, polished hooks and accessible arrangements. It captures a period when Kool & The Gang were firmly established as hitmakers with broad radio appeal.
