One of Kool & the Gang’s biggest hits, “Ladies Night” reached #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 as well as the top 10 in Switzerland and the United Kingdom. B-sides to this song include “Too Hot”, and “If You Feel Like Dancin'”. The song is a play on the popular use of “Ladies Nights” at bars and clubs that were meant to draw in more female patrons in order to draw in even more male clientele.
