Mrs Penguin also went with KCatSB. I clammed because I thought there was a chance she was right. On a DD I'd have gone with K&tG. But I'd have worried it was KC. I think KC and the Sunshine Band is a creditable guess or brainfart. They occupy a similar musical, historical, and cultural space to Kool & the Gang.

I just noticed looking it up that KC use the word "and" in their name, but Kool use the & symbol. Won't come up on Jeopardy! in a million years, but still nugatorily interesting.

Unsure. They might accept it from Wilfred Brimley on Celebrity Jeopardy!, but from an ordinary contestant it might be a bit iffy.
