It was the BEST time to grow up! It didn't matter what color you were, we went to the clubs, drank, danced til we could hardly breathe and just had a BLAST!! NO bullshit....People need to stop spending so much time being pissed off at every little thing. Life is really short.
Amen. No one said, it is a multicultural band. This race bullshit today is caused by the government. We all hung out together, white, black we had fun.
Yes, everyone in this performance is a band member :) Bands back then had very experienced musician, singers, in other words, they were all talented. No auto-tuning, pyrotechnics were needed, either you had the talent, or you didnt. Also the bands back then were larger groups of talented people. See Earth Wind & Fire, Chicago for example :)
This song was written about a local DJ in Miami that they knew :) " A specific DJ who influenced this song was Robert W. Walker at Y-100 in Miami, Florida, who was the first to give the group's hit single "Get Down Tonight" airplay. So Walker "was the Boogie Man that brought all the funk and the good feeling and the vibes to the people every morning,"
All KC and the Sunshine Band songs are about how much fun it is to dance, make love, and have a good time. If you're wondering what the song is about, that's what it's about, and that's why they're one of the most fun bands ever.
Yes that is everybody. KC had a big band and his live concerts were awesome!! Check out his live concerts right here on you tube! I'm 63 saw this when it came out! KC was great!!
Yep, I saw them with Wild cherry at the Ohio State Fair. Magical night. My mom and grandma were dancing all night. Was amazing. And the sound was crisp, clear.
The Disco Era was probably my favorite music time: 70s. Horns were a big part of the music back then, with the other instruments. It was a special time!
Think this is 1975. Yep, all the band here! He’s still at it, too!What happened to Soul music is right; just good groovin music that everyone loves; impossible to not be movin and and happy with this music. Funk, Disco, best times; everyone together just jamming.
It wouldn't make sense that there's a lot of people in the band from the 70's to someone from this decade, because these days singers use drum machines and DJ's for their music. Back then, you had real bands playing real instruments with real talent playing real music.
Hes talking about a Miami DJ that played their first hit and essentially made them famous. This was a great time to be alive! Race wasnt really an issue. We didnt care what color you were as long as you were cool. I still listen to disco. My kids and grandkids hate it. Lol
Listen, I’m 53 years old from Miami and I actually lived for two years in Hialeah where KC is from. Back in the day growing up when you thought of Miami, you thought of KC I mean that’s it! He was everything, and he’s a brilliant musician.
No Sly and the Family Stone had one of the first bands with white and Black musicians so did the group WAR, a group called the WINSTONS had a song called “Color him Father, and even before all of them Ray Charles had a white guitar player, white and black musicians were playing together back then and before then…..
@@bassblvd3065 Don't forget, Clarence Clemons, with Springsteen, as well as, The Doobie Brothers, who had a brother in the band. And while not an official member of the group, whenever The Beatles needed a piano player they hired, Billy Preston. And the KIng, Elvis, routinely used black female backup singers.
This is mid seventies….this is funk/pop/r&b/soul/disco…..and yes, everybody is in the band…full time…that’s how it was back then. He’s talking to a girl. They are from Florida.
Back in the day, we didn't care about lyrics; it all about whether the music made you get up and *dance!* :D Today, music is a whoooooole lotta words not really talking about anything, and the music is computer samples that are put on repeat. Back then, you had to learn music theory, practice scales on your instrument, learn music composition and how to complement each other in a band when you are *all* creating the music. Today, one guy creates beats. Black folks used to be some of the best instrumentalists out there; now not too many young people have ever picked up an instrument. As an aside, it's the white guy on the bass guitar holding it down lol!
The music we had back then was better than today music no nasty words just clean words we had class not like today music 👎👎👎👎👎👎💃💃💃💃💃💃💃🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼 the seventies was the best music
Yes it was a full band but Harry Wayne Casey was the co writer and singer. It’s weird but we seem more divided by race today than in the 1970s. Disco united everyone.
Have you checked out any of the Rare Earth music very much like this same era ,think they were on a Motown label the song I just want to celebrate another day of living .Love the reaction! KC might still be doing 70s shows on cruses and such. Link ruclips.net/video/QpgcEbaqtVo/видео.html gotta watch wild cherry play the funky music white boy! KC is from Miami
TRY TO ENJOY THE SONG AND THEN TALK AND COMMENT, OF YOU PASUSED ALL THE TIME YOU RUIN THE VIBE OF THE SONG AND YOUR FIRST TIME , BEST REACTIONS ARE SPONTANEUS , FORGET THE CAMERA
hes telling a girl he will be her boogie man.....meaning to be her 'friends with benefits" type of thing....re-listen to lyrics..he saying hes ready at any time to get with her.
KC or Casey is the singer, all the people you see are the whole band, the Sunshine Band the Sunshine State Florida, I think this is 1976, it may be simple but think what it took to produce this song and then a whole album without computers and the awful auto tune, a singer from a very popular soul group in the 70s said rap music has closed the door on soul music
What happened to Soul Music? Rap. Rap was cheaper and faster to produce so the labels pushed Rap. In Rap you get a guy to make some rhymes, steal someone else's music (sampling, another term for not having artistic abilities so you steal) and record it. You can record 5 or 6 songs in a few hours without having to pay musicians to learn and practice the music. You don't have to pay music writers. You just have to pay for studio time. (Oh, and you also have to pay for lawyers when you get sued for stealing (sampling) someone else's music. And don't get me started with Autotune. Anyone that uses Autotune should NEVER get any music awards and should not legally be allowed to call themselves musicians. Producers use Autotune when the person has a pretty face but can't sing for crap.
No one plays instruments anymore. They seem like a spinoff from sly and the family stone.earlier group I'm sure you would enjoy. They are 74 to75.we all had bells,at least us white boys. Not be seen with them today. If leader from Calif.
It's tough to use a blanket grading scale for all songs. The best country song may not earn the same grade as the best rap song. How do you compare a pop song to a classical song? Apples and oranges. Giving out "A" grades can be done if they aren't being compared to songs or videos from other genres. Just a thought...
You should check out "Eric Burdon & War - Spill the wine" Not the studio version, there is a live version that's 100 times better. Search it on RUclips, the version you want is on a channel called Beat-Club. It's like this, instruments, good musicians and just jamming away.
You asked what happened to good music I'm 53 years old and I witnessed what happened to good music and in two words music videos. before the Advent of the music video people didn't care what the musicians look like they just dug the music after the music video the most important thing became the visuals and some of your greatest musicians are not the best looking people in the world they were replaced by models do you really believe every talented musician looks like they just got off a cover of a magazine.
It was the BEST time to grow up! It didn't matter what color you were, we went to the clubs, drank, danced til we could hardly breathe and just had a BLAST!! NO bullshit....People need to stop spending so much time being pissed off at every little thing. Life is really short.
It's the time when I grew up. Best time of my life.
Amen. No one said, it is a multicultural band. This race bullshit today is caused by the government. We all hung out together, white, black we had fun.
Exactly, no hang ups, colorblind, dancing and just having fun. Great times!
I grew up with them too! Awesome time

Back when music was “pure” . From Florida, the Sunshine State. Try “That’s The Way I Like It” next! 🤗
Yes that is everybody. KC had a big band and his live concerts were awesome!! Check out his live concerts right here on you tube! I'm 63 saw this when it came out! KC was great!!
I’m the same age! Didnt we have the best teenage years and music ever!? 🤗
Yep, I saw them with Wild cherry at the Ohio State Fair. Magical night. My mom and grandma were dancing all night. Was amazing. And the sound was crisp, clear.
I’m 62 and I grew up with this too! Love their music 😊
We were all blessed to have witnessed pure talented music in the 70’s🙏👍❤️
The band was formed in '73
This song was from '76
This came out in 70’s! Love this group! I grew up with him
The Disco Era was probably my favorite music time: 70s. Horns were a big part of the music back then, with the other instruments. It was a special time!
Four piece horn section, bass, guitar, drummer, keyboardist/lead singer, percussionist and two backup singers called Fire.
Think this is 1975. Yep, all the band here! He’s still at it, too!What happened to Soul music is right; just good groovin music that everyone loves; impossible to not be movin and and happy with this music. Funk, Disco, best times; everyone together just jamming.
KC and the Sunshine Band had a ton of hits, and I'm sure you've heard other ones too.
Your question about what happened to good soul music is a good one. Young people like you though are going to bring it back. ❤️
I love the fact everyone is really enjoying themselves...
That music breakdown to the rhythm section makes this song an A+. LOVE the 1970s!
In the mud to late 70s EVERYTHING was boogie...blame it on the boogie...boogie nights... boogie shoes...boogie oogie oogie and so on
Lol... pretty much true!
KC had numerous hits. Keep discovering them! ❤️
It wouldn't make sense that there's a lot of people in the band from the 70's to someone from this decade, because these days singers use drum machines and DJ's for their music. Back then, you had real bands playing real instruments with real talent playing real music.
When everyone got along and danced the night away!
Hes talking about a Miami DJ that played their first hit and essentially made them famous. This was a great time to be alive! Race wasnt really an issue. We didnt care what color you were as long as you were cool. I still listen to disco. My kids and grandkids hate it. Lol
Great music from the 70s!
Listen, I’m 53 years old from Miami and I actually lived for two years in Hialeah where KC is from. Back in the day growing up when you thought of Miami, you thought of KC I mean that’s it! He was everything, and he’s a brilliant musician.
Also notice how there are blacks and white together. This was unheard of at that time.
No Sly and the Family Stone had one of the first bands with white and Black musicians so did the group WAR, a group called the WINSTONS had a song called “Color him Father, and even before all of them Ray Charles had a white guitar player, white and black musicians were playing together back then and before then…..

He’s talking to a girl.
They are from Florida.
The HORNS are KILLIN IT!!!!!
He does a even cooler hit called lets get down tonight. Went higher than this on the charts.
The closest thing I can think of to a modern day song with the same soul/dance feeling is 'Uptown Funk'. It's got the vibe, the horns, and the beat.
The group started in 1973, but this song came out in late 1976, and charted well into ‘77
THIS WAS WHEN BLACK AND WHITE GOT ALONG! I MISS THOSE DAYS!!!! So I drink wine instead!!!
KC and the sunshine band get down tonight

Those trumpet players get an A+ in my book. If they don’t make you smile, nothing will.
The song was designed to get you out on the dance floor and moving.
The same band members are touring together to this day. ❤
1973 they were popular when i was in high school. it is all 1 band.
To boogie to dance!
The music we had back then was better than today music no nasty words just clean words we had class not like today music 👎👎👎👎👎👎💃💃💃💃💃💃💃🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼 the seventies was the best music
Holy fuck… the stopping. 🤦🏾♂️
Song is about a DJ being your boogie man
This is all about just fun music.
Yes it was a full band but Harry Wayne Casey was the co writer and singer. It’s weird but we seem more divided by race today than in the 1970s. Disco united everyone.
'boogie' in this song, and boogie shoes, is not about dancing ;) it's about f......
Need to try.... Wild Cherry " play that funky music white boy "
BINGO !!! Excellent point.
ROLL BOUNCE .
kc and the band were from florida
The Miami Disco Sound 😀💕
This was the Disco era
looks like 12 members and 2 dancers of which i don't know if are regulars but may be 14 total
KC was in an accident and had to learn how to walk and his last song was so amazing think it was in 1982 the last song
They were around in the early 70s. Chores done..👍. Thank You
Look up an actual live performance to see how they performed live!
KC and the band are from Florida hence Sunshine band meaning State of Florida Sunshine State!
From the 70’s when there were hardly any music videos.
Kc is from Florida
The best
Listen to Tower of Power. It was also back in that time with lots of horns. I love them.
11 people in his band.
Nope all members of K.C. and the Sunshine band. Had their own horn sec. And back up singers. heck the one guy plays tambourine.😂
🔥🌞🔥🌞🔥🌞🔥
KCBoogieman 1976 that's the band
The closest would be Bruno Mars and maybe the Weekend.
Bogey man-bad/ boogie man- good 1973
The last song was GIVE IT UP sorry 🙃I’m 63 I get a PASS
Have you checked out any of the Rare Earth music very much like this same era ,think they were on a Motown label the song I just want to celebrate another day of living .Love the reaction! KC might still be doing 70s shows on cruses and such. Link ruclips.net/video/QpgcEbaqtVo/видео.html gotta watch wild cherry play the funky music white boy! KC is from Miami
1973 that song in 1976
Holy hell, back then someone had to actually learn how to play a trumpet? LMAOFF!
started in 1973.
When you get a chance check out the song, Jungle Boogie by Kool and the Gang
TRY TO ENJOY THE SONG AND THEN TALK AND COMMENT, OF YOU PASUSED ALL THE TIME YOU RUIN THE VIBE OF THE SONG AND YOUR FIRST TIME , BEST REACTIONS ARE SPONTANEUS , FORGET THE CAMERA
I agree
Mid 70's
hes telling a girl he will be her boogie man.....meaning to be her 'friends with benefits" type of thing....re-listen to lyrics..he saying hes ready at any time to get with her.
But it’s not WAP!😂 Casey’s subtle by comparison!
Another group like this is rose Royce's.. great band.. react to car wash...on soul train
KC or Casey is the singer, all the people you see are the whole band, the Sunshine Band the Sunshine State Florida, I think this is 1976, it may be simple but think what it took to produce this song and then a whole album without computers and the awful auto tune, a singer from a very popular soul group in the 70s said rap music has closed the door on soul music
Please now watch Rob Zombie - I'm your Boogie Man
Ignorance is bless 😂😂😂
Todays music sucks! 60s and 70s music is real music!
They are all the band bro.. I lived thru it.... great memories
1976
talking to a girl he wants to date
What happened to Soul Music? Rap.
Rap was cheaper and faster to produce so the labels pushed Rap.
In Rap you get a guy to make some rhymes, steal someone else's music (sampling, another term for not having artistic abilities so you steal) and record it.

And don't get me started with Autotune. Anyone that uses Autotune should NEVER get any music awards and should not legally be allowed to call themselves musicians. Producers use Autotune when the person has a pretty face but can't sing for crap.
try "I like to Do It" by KC
No one plays instruments anymore. They seem like a spinoff from sly and the family stone.earlier group I'm sure you would enjoy. They are 74 to75.we all had bells,at least us white boys. Not be seen with them today. If leader from Calif.

It was blocked by youtube
i believe he's talking to a girl
Your videos would be way better, if you didn't stop it every few seconds to talk. Just some constructive criticism.
Jeez, you stop the song 20 times to inject your questions? Why not listen in entirety and critique afterwards?
Chato !
The choreography on the horn section needs some work.
Oh STFU, you need some work.
You asked what happened to good music I'm 53 years old and I witnessed what happened to good music and in two words music videos. before the Advent of the music video people didn't care what the musicians look like they just dug the music after the music video the most important thing became the visuals and some of your greatest musicians are not the best looking people in the world they were replaced by models do you really believe every talented musician looks like they just got off a cover of a magazine.
1976
