Al Paris & The Heartbreakers

Al Paris, former lead singer of Kool & The Gang, is a performer of rare talent, whose charisma really shines on-stage in front of a live audience. After a decade touring globally as a former member of Kool & The Gang, best known for their hit "Celebration", Al’s “renaissance man” career has spanned acting, singing, songwriting, and producing from his home base in Memphis, TN.
Working with artists like Gladys Knight, Pink, and Joe Walsh exposed Al to a wide range of music and talented performers and studio musicians – many of which he has recruited into The Heartbreakers.
