I was at the Kool Jazz Festival in San Diego in 1981. It was on a Saturday and the lineup included The Temptations, the Isley Brothers and Natalie Cole headlining. There were others but their performances weren't very memorable.
Any setlists available, especially for the Temps and the Isleys?

Firstly, The Kool Jazz Festival was held at Jack Murphy Stadium in San Diego and the Oakland Coliseum in Oakland, not in Los Angeles. There were times when they had tried to get the Jackson 5ive to appear in the festival but for whatever reason it never happened. Neither Michael, The Jackson 5ive or as The Jackson's appeared in any of the Kool Jazz Festival's.
