Ronald Bell has died aged 68, a representative for the singer has said. The Kool & The Gang co-founder died on Wednesday at his home in the US Virgin Islands with his wife by his side, his publicist said.

No cause of death was released. Ronald co-founded Kool & The Gang in New Jersey in 1964 and wrote some of the group's best-known songs, including party staple Celebration, Cherish, Jungle Boogie and Summer Madness.
