Koolzeum, LLC, The Koolzeum Archives, & koolzeum.com (uhuru-sasa.com) will forever be dedicated to Mr. Ronald Bell (Brother Khalis Bayyan.)
My Life’s work has been a clear reflection of Bell’s life’s work since 1969. His friendship, brotherhood, and consistent reference to me as his co-pilot – will continue to define me, as it has for over five decades.
I’ll continue to define him in my writing, and in all of my professional endeavors. I learned, very early, to approach everything with his severely high personal standard.
As a younger brother to Khalis, and as a person who watched him work out so much for so many, I successfully used a personal formula for making decisions. As I became an adult, I noticed that I was not alone in doing this. Many that actually knew Khalis well privately utilized this concept.
The winning acronym I grew up considering before important decisions was WWKD? It simply stood for “What Would Khalis Do?” It led me to some smart moves in life that I still benefit from several decades later.
That level of respect & reverence is not common for me. It is reserved for a contributor of exceptional intelligence, generosity, & integrity.
It’s obviously beyond exclusive. I was smart enough to demonstrate that level of inner reverence & genuine respect for Ronald Bell every day, week, month, year, & decade. He was truly a king among kings.
I’m honored, and so grateful, that Khalis was my teacher, my friend, and my brother. I’ll proceed living that as a guiding light for the rest of my life.

An encomium to African American culture & the untainted history of it. A truthful and unapologetic display of a royal, traumatized culture.
It is an encomium to African American culture and its untainted history. As the Executive Archivist and Historian for Kool & The Gang for over half a century, I designed this space as a truthful, unapologetic tribute to a royal culture and a legendary band. This is my life’s work—a personal mission to spread awareness and long-overdue reverence.

A heart of gold. One of the greatest human beings of my lifetime. One of my best friends ever. A real Brother and a real Brotherman. His sense of style was from within, which powered his sharpness to a real and permanent pitch. His leadership, musicianship, and showmanship was his own brand. He balanced the frontline lead of Kool & The Gang for 57 years. He steadied, and tempered, me through life’s unspeakable losses, while broadening the greatest events and victories of our lifetimes. His wisdom will guide me forever. His light is eternal.

THE KOOLZEUM
THANKS:


The Koolzeum is an encomium to African American culture & the untainted history of it. The Koolzeum Archives, Koolzeum, LLC, and koolzeum.com are each truthful, unapologetic displays of a royal, traumatized culture. In that effort, my passion, knowledge, experience, and loyalty to the culture that I’ve spent my entire life in – is strongly expressed with commitment, honor, accuracy, and grateful, respectful regard.
The Koolzeum Archives also showcases my pride, and my lifetime, as part of Kool & The Gang, the most prolific band in the history of the entertainment industry. They are also the world’s most sampled band ever. My affiliation with them, for over half a century, is proportionately a defining part of who I am. As Kool & The Gang’s Executive Archivist, Band Historian, Exclusive Liner Note Author, and family, I designed the Koolzeum from within – as a respectful tribute to the band, as well as to Black America.
My life’s work is also my personal mission; to spread awareness AND long overdue reverence. We all stand on the shoulders of 30 Million living Americans, and countless ancestors, that built this country on their backs. Those are the real heroes & patriots. We should all be Civil Rights Activists.
KEEPERS OF THE
ZEUM…


Gene and Geoff Erskine played a significant role in helping me create the Koolzeum Archives and Koolzeum, LLC. They are my family, and they’re vital to the Koolzeum — and to me.”
