i have heard how bad so many times that the people dressed and looked in the 70s I Would love to ware their out fits especially KCs and 2 guys with the bass guitars lol
Since retirement, we have been on a bucket list tour trying to catch up with some of these old greats. We had the pleasure of seeing KC and the Sunshine Band celebrating his 50th year this summer. The only two members playing were KC and the guy on the Bongos. The music was still fabulous to this date....KC (a bit older) can still move on stage. An added bonus were the openers.....Rose Royce band and the Dazz band. All the memories we relived that night! Side note: KC wrote a song called "Rock your Baby" that was performed by George McCrae. It was a big inspiration for ABBA's Dancing Queen. Enjoy!
This song is like a perfect amalgamation of soul, disco, and pop. The horns are killer, and somehow the vocals fit in so perfectly that if this came out now you might think AI constructed it. Absolutely made for radio, back when radio still mattered.
The guys who put the band together were Harry Wayne Casey and Rick Finch. Rick Finch was a bassist/sound engineer who worked for TK Records, a Florida-based record label. KC worked there part time and that’s how they met. They added some musicians and the band was formed. Casey and Finch were the songwriters, and actually wrote songs that were hits for other artists. They wrote the song “Rock Your Baby” by George McCrae, which was one of the huge hits of early disco. The song “I Get Lifted” was originally on a KC & The Sunshine Band album, but McCrae covered that and it’s been sampled plenty of times. They also wrote a lot of things for Jimmy ‘Bo’ Horne. In the 70s they were killing it, but once disco faded their popularity waned. But they do have a lot of really good songs, and they were far more than just a run of the mill disco band.
YES! I just saw KC and the Sunshine Band open for the B-52's about a year ago. Still sounds great and the crowd was UP ON THEIR FEET the entire time he was on stage.
The line "that's the way, uh huh uh huh, I like it" became a thing when this came out. People were saying it everywhere, it was used as a joke punchline all the time, it was huge. Same with Shake your booty, Get down tonight and I'm your boogie man. They were massive in the 70's.
I totally love this band and always have. Grew up, listening to them, dancing to them, rollerskating to them and still listen to them today! I also love shake shake shake shake your booty! Get down tonight!!
Nobody's talking about the theatrics and fabulous dance moves! The horn section was a blast to watch, and KC had some fancy footwork going on while singing and playing the keys. Great song, great band, great energy - and great reaction!
I use to roller skate to this, was born in. 67. Great time to be a kid , when music was changing and disco was king!! Kids today will never experience this !! Not like this, life was free
Prior to the Sunshine Band, KC (Harry Casey) wrote 'Rock Your Baby' which was a big hit. KC was leading figure in the emerging 'Miami Sound'. This movement attracted the Bee Gee's, who moved from England to Miami.
You guys can laugh but as working musicians,we had to play these songs every night and,it was a time when people were dancing more and fighting less.so it was worth it!!!
KC and the Sunshine Band were such a fun group-as fun to watch as to listen to, because they obviously enjoyed what they were doing. Lyrically simple so anyone could sing along while dancing their asses off. And it still gets people moving. An integrated band, a layered sound & cool costumes....some of the best disco out there. Love 'em.
Small miracle you got to do a KC and the Sunshine band song. Very few seem able to do it with the usual reason. Just another era.... and the short-lived disco-era also that still is timeless and their outfits always were colorful with their bells this era.
Listen, I’m from Miami and I grew up during this time KC was everything in Miami back in the day! So of course, I listened to his music all the time growing up my mother was crazy about him, and I freaking love him. By the way, this entire band is nothing short of spectacular, but let’s talk about the horns. These guys in my opinion make the band.
I still have all of my KC and the Sunshine Band albums..They had several number 1 hits but first was Get Down Tonight,followed by That`s The Way I Like It,I`m Your Boogie Man,(Shake,Shake,Shake)Shake Your Booty and Please Don`t Go...Keep It Coming Love came in at #2 ..Boogie Shoes was always a fave of mine...please do more!!!
Casey = KC. A janitor at the studio. George McCrae was there to record Rock Your Baby. The manager was mad because the keyboard player didn't show. George said Casey can play it. That's him on George's hit song. That manager went to see Casey's band. The rest is history.
Love it! "Boogie Shoes" is another favorite along with "I'm Your Boogie Man". People disliked disco, but I enjoyed it then & still like the hits today.
I still have a T-Shirt I bought at their concert a few years ago. He was older but still HAD IT. My shirt is This song. That's the way I like it! LOL I grew up in Miami, I loved hearing them. I didn't have cable or MTV and certainly NO youtube to actually see them back then.
I’m Your Boogie Man You guys have never seen the band?? I used to have pinups of KC’s cuteness all over my bedroom from Teen Beat & Tiger Beat mags…ahh the seventies!
I love you guys. Always open to new experiences in music. Your reactions never fail to bring a smile to my face. Jeep up the giod work, and I'll keep watching.
I remember watching "The Jeffersons" when Florence was vacuuming with headphones on, singing...."that's the way I like it..aha, aha." When George gave her a few quick knocks on the head which disengaged her headphones. She said, "Why, Mr. Jefferson would you want to do a thing like that???" George: "because THAT'S the way I like it!" (and concentrate on your work )
They came to Oaklawn Racing and Casino here in Hot Springs not too long ago. I didnt go. I know thier songs but wasntvmotivated to watch them. Somedays its just like that.
I don't care where you are if you play this song along with Brickhouse , September and Stayin Alive and booty of all ages will be shakin on the dance floor.
the great MIAMI FUNK Sound of the mid 1970's. Casey was brought up in Hialeah (a NW suburb of downtown Miami) and all the band members were from Miami or Ft Lauderdale
They were an excellent act live and had some very memorable tunes. KC ended up as a guest judge on the legendary Gong Show. THIS IS IT should react to the electic dance move of Gene Gene the Dancing Machine.

This Ensemble was Genius! Sooooooo much TALENT! ❤
"Get Down Tonight" was their first hit....🙂
Thats one of my favourites .
My favorite!❤
Wasn't it Queen of Clubs 🤔😎👊🏽
And their best song, by far
I’ve always been concerned for KC’s back. 60’s kid here, loved this whole genre
This song is like a perfect amalgamation of soul, disco, and pop. The horns are killer, and somehow the vocals fit in so perfectly that if this came out now you might think AI constructed it. Absolutely made for radio, back when radio still mattered.
“Back when radio still mattered”
You got THAT right.
Bring me back to 1975 when I was 10, had a birthday party in the basement doing the “BUMP “ !!!!❤😂
Feel you! Same age 💃
yes, in college. this song and the bump!
I was a December 1964 baby! So I'm right there with you! We didn't have a basement, but my party's were LEGENDARY! 😂❤✌️
U got that right,I was 11😅
The Bump! You went way back. 😂
They've cool as f'ing anything - what a horn section, doing the 70s proud!! 👍👍👍
KC is still performing. He’s still tries to generate energy and get people up and dancing. ❤
What a blast from past😂 skating parties, I'm 63 yrs old, man! Memories ❤❤
Oh those were the best. I miss those days.❤
I absolutely lived at the skating ⛸️ rink and KC was the main groove. Keep it Coming Love! ❤
One of my favorites from them is “ I’m Your Boogie Man”, and the ballad, “ Please, don’t go”….so many great songs! Great music, and great times.
“Get Down Tonight” was their first #1 hit earlier in 1975.
The guys who put the band together were Harry Wayne Casey and Rick Finch. Rick Finch was a bassist/sound engineer who worked for TK Records, a Florida-based record label. KC worked there part time and that’s how they met. They added some musicians and the band was formed. Casey and Finch were the songwriters, and actually wrote songs that were hits for other artists.

At 69 I feel we grew up with some outstanding musicians.
Think it was get down tonight. 😮
A great disco song thank you
Kc and Sunshine band was not just a concert it was an a show. Love this band.
A kicking horn section takes things to the next level. And these guys brought this band to life.
YES! I just saw KC and the Sunshine Band open for the B-52's about a year ago. Still sounds great and the crowd was UP ON THEIR FEET the entire time he was on stage.
So jealous!
The line "that's the way, uh huh uh huh, I like it" became a thing when this came out. People were saying it everywhere, it was used as a joke punchline all the time, it was huge.
Same with Shake your booty, Get down tonight and I'm your boogie man.
They were massive in the 70's.
I totally love this band and always have. Grew up, listening to them, dancing to them, rollerskating to them and still listen to them today! I also love shake shake shake shake your booty! Get down tonight!!

I use to roller skate to this, was born in. 67. Great time to be a kid , when music was changing and disco was king!! Kids today will never experience this !! Not like this, life was free
Im a 70 year Old who used to Roller Skate to this in My Younger Day .
LOVE KC and the Sunshine Band!!!! Real musicians, real energy, real showmanship and killer, simple grooves. PERFECT!! “I’m Your Boogie Man” next! ❤😊
You guys had me smiling all thru the video.
Yayyyyy! Party!!! Time to break out The Bump! “ I’m Your Boogie Man” is also fabulous with the whole Sunshine Band on point with soul!!!! ❤❤❤❤
To the older fellow that remembers the song. I'm 64, and love your analysis and you be looking good.

50 yrs later and we're still groovin to this song! I love it!!!
This will always be a favorite rollerskating song by people who hung out at the local rink back in the day.
Love KC! Lots of hits from them when I was a kid.
Either "I'm Your Boogie Man" or "Boogie Shoes" is probably their first number one...they had a few! Great reaction!
I like his smile.
I love the sunshine band.
This son was the TUNE in my Teens.Loved this band.Disco, jazz funk etc, was Colourblind.
Omg i love Corey's reaction and enjoying the tune. He makes it great

LOVE THE AFROS!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼💋💋💋💋💋
We used to sing the title line to cheer on our high school basketball team when someone scored! Class of 1977!

One of my first 8 tracks!!! 😊greatest music! So many more great hits! “I’m Your Boogie Man” performance is fire!
Grand dad remembers! Love me some DISCO!!! I remember too grand dad!
I Iove some KC and the Sunshine Band. My favorite is Get Down Tonight.
1975... I was only in High School when this song hit the airwaves. If was fire. I heard they are still on tour in 2024.
Luv KC and TSB. Man had a head on collision in 1981 and had to teach himself to walk-dance and play piano again
Love it! "Boogie Shoes" is another favorite along with "I'm Your Boogie Man". People disliked disco, but I enjoyed it then & still like the hits today.

Super group ❤
"I'm Your Boogie Man" next please! KC = Harry Wayne Casey. LONG LIVE DISCO!!!
Back in the 70s it didn't matter what you look like what color you were as long as you had some soul
My music! ❤
My favourite is their ballad Baby please don't go. In the nineties in disco club dj playied a disco version. I adore this band ❤
I think Get Down Tonight was their first hit back in 1975,
Get down tonight was their first number one song..
Love you guys!
I’m Your Boogie Man
You guys have never seen the band?? I used to have pinups of KC’s cuteness all over my bedroom from Teen Beat & Tiger Beat mags…ahh the seventies!
YESSSSS!!! Energy!!!
Ok, I can't be the only guy who used to be a solid Rock fan and dismissed Disco as garbage , but secretly admired some of these tunes? C'mon, fess up!
Great roller skating song
That’s the way I like it
Boogie Shoes is another banger by KC and the Sunshine Band worth checking out!
Do You Wanna Go Party is phenomenal! Extended version is so good. 😊
I miss the old days with songs that were fun and represented us not related to gangs and violence.just fun!
Get down tonight. Great song. And boogie man is another
I love the real instruments
It STILL sounds good!!!
I love you guys. Always open to new experiences in music. Your reactions never fail to bring a smile to my face. Jeep up the giod work, and I'll keep watching.
Love them too. Hope they either jeep it up or keep it up :)
This was my time and kc had 6 or 7 # 1's in a row!
"I'M YOUR BOOGIE MAN"❤❤❤❤👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
The highlight to these videos is the horn section. You should see them bring it during the I’m Your Boogie Man video.
I remember watching "The Jeffersons" when Florence was vacuuming with headphones on, singing...."that's the way I like it..aha, aha."
When George gave her a few quick knocks on the head which disengaged her headphones. She said, "Why, Mr. Jefferson would you want to do a thing like that???" George: "because THAT'S the way I like it!" (and concentrate on your work )
Never knew they were from Miami. Makes sense now.
I loved this in 70s & 80s along several other songs but never saw👀 them til recently thru reactors
They came to Oaklawn Racing and Casino here in Hot Springs not too long ago. I didnt go. I know thier songs but wasntvmotivated to watch them. Somedays its just like that.
I remember they were great from the start.
I'm your boogie man is my favorite!!
I saw KC and the Sunshine Band in a club on Beale St in Memphis back in the day.
Ya'll gotta do more KC & the Sunshine Band. They were the 70s.
First number one. "GET DOWN TONIGHT"
I don't care where you are if you play this song along with Brickhouse , September and Stayin Alive and booty of all ages will be shakin on the dance floor.
How I miss the 70's and the ladies with the full-on fros.
Boogie Shoes, I’m Your Boogie Man, Keep It Comin Love, and Shake Shake Shake Your Bootie are all bangers you need to check out
the great MIAMI FUNK Sound of the mid 1970's. Casey was brought up in Hialeah (a NW suburb of downtown Miami) and all the band members were from Miami or Ft Lauderdale
The bobblehead EINSTEINS in "NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM:SMITHSONIAN" ADORABLE HONOR TO KC. & THE SUNSHINEE BAND❤❤❤👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
They were an excellent act live and had some very memorable tunes. KC ended up as a guest judge on the legendary Gong Show. THIS IS IT should react to the electic dance move of Gene Gene the Dancing Machine.
This is the only review channel I started watching these dudes are cool hosts man!
I wanna go bowling!!!!
“Please don’t go” KC and the Sunshine Band please.
The “ Sunshine Horns” need to put out a workout video! 😂
Get it Ollie!😂
Get Down Tonight!!! Boogie Shoes was their best IMO.
