People love to make fun of this music, but you have to admit it's catchy. It's just fun, feel good music. Not a lyrical masterpiece, but great to dance to.
I would classify myself as a rocker, but I was a kid in the 70s and remember many of the Disco hits, I never thought Disco was all that different from most other pop music, it's just really fun dance music, I think most of it was great.
Nobody makes fun of this…. They’re a great band and they had 5 #1 Hits and a #2 Hit in America. That’s hard to beat in the 1970s. KC & the sunshine band sold 100 MILLION RECORDS.
KC is still making people dance. I got see him a few weeks ago. He also survived a bad car accident that left him partially paralyzed. He had to learn to walk and talk again.
Saw them at a free concert in Eisenhower Park on Long Island a bunch of years back in the summer at CBS F.M concert series and they had to close the park as it couldn't handle all the people wanting to see them play ❤🔥💯🎶 Set all time attendance record too...and this was in 2014!!! #thatsthewayuhhuhuhhuhilikeit!!!
Yes yes boogie down Angela😊 I would give this a four also because I would reserve "I'm Your Boogie Man" or "(Shake Shake Shake) Shake Your Booty" both by KC and the Sunshine band as a number five😊👍 Great great reaction and we all love your boogie in your chair😊👍 bye for now 😊👍
Beautiful Angela, this is a great group. They had a bunch of good songs. Henry Casey from Miami, Florida. The trombone player was a judge for my sons' band competition when they were in high school.
I saw KC a few years ago in Vail, CO. Free concert. Thousands of people showed up and the dude ROCKED!!! The best part? Seeing literally thousands of 70 years olds absolutely shaking their feathers! Not just moving. Throwing down! I was impressed!
Awesome review looking forward to the next 2 weeks of music I grew up with! Graduated High School in '75 so this music brings back my life's best memories. The original KC & the Sunshine Band in this clip is the best version of the band that still performs today!
“Shake Your Booty”, “Get Down Tonight”, “I’m Your Boogie Man” are my faves. For some reason I can recall a 1976 Summer Saturday evening where I watched the Summer Olympics, HeeHaw and then KC&TSSB on either a rerun of the “Dolly” or “Midnight Special” show. A little Romanian gymnast named Nadia that kept posting perfect 10’s must have caught my 15 year old eyes.
Boy does this take me back!! So many great memories of dancing to these songs in the clubs!! Check out other great songs by KC and the Sunshine Band, '"Boogie Shoes", Shake Your Booty" and Keep it Coming Love."
This is just the TIP of the 70s Disco/Dance Music Rabbit Hole. Don't know how DEEP you wanna go. 😂🤣 I'm an Old School Chitown Deep Househead and we don't PLAY when it comes down to some Deep Disco. 😂
These horns are kicking it.. as a trumpet player myself..we used to rock the heck out of this song back in high school. Band class..students came out of classrooms and started dancing in the hallways..1/2 teachers yelling at us to get back in class.. the younger teachers were jamming with us..oh the memories..
I saw them live as a teen. They had the crowd form a circle around them and sit down to watch and then they really brang it. I got to be in the first row. They were so powerful in person, extremely talented and fun to watch. I hear they still perform too. They were also very humble and had a great sense of humor and talked to us throughout the whole concert 💃🕺.
KC & The Sunshine Band were incredibly popular and really were a cross-over between pop & disco music. At the time many people absolutely HATED disco music but KC & The Sunshine Band received lots of airplay on radio stations that played very little disco. It was the kind of music almost everyone secretly enjoyed but would never admit.
Growing up in this era I got grief from the Heads from liking it. Girls love to dance, and the more fun they have dancing the better life is. I had the pleasure of learning to square dance in gym (mandatory) but a friend hid a boom box under the bleachers with KC and the Sunshine Band Cassette queued up with this song. He hit the play button at the end of a dance and he and I danced with the girls in our group the 2 "Heads" (potheads) just stood there while we danced and the teacher yelling "Shut that thing off!" Sorry, just a memory now. Great song and reaction.
The best of the 1970's era disco bands. Their songs are always catchy and danceable. Another suggestion by KC and the Sunshine Band: 'Keep It Comin' Love.'
I think you're confusing KC & The Sunshine Band with Kool & The Gang, when you said Get down boogie. Kool & The Gang sing Get down on it & Jungle boogie. KC & The Sunshine Band sing Get down tonight, I'm your boogie man & boogie shoes
Love this one with the Horns and the 'Uh-Huh', a good one to boogie to. I would also give it 4 for boogie , got you moving Angela. 'Shake your Booty' which was suggested is another good one-Colin Ward
Now this got you dancing in your seat, but this was a staple song for a couple of months straight on American Bandstand. And I was just a young kid when this came out, but I remember seeing men and women roller dancing in parks with music blasting from boom boxes with this on. It was a great time for music because there was no sampling or auto tune, but real talent. BTW, you look like you would have fit in with your moves, Angela.
I remember on my first deployment to Iraq ( late 2004 and all of 2005 ) when we'd drive to the nearest town for health and welfare ( our medics would treat the sick and the elderly,give out blankets,soccer balls and MREs ) we'd play Ice Ice Baby and some songs by KC & the Sunshine band. Also-HARD-rock ( we'd play this during prayer time to tick them off-LOL ) Michael Jackson and lots of 90s rap music,the young teens and kids loved the rap songs. Anything with KC & the Sunshine ( also Ice Ice Baby ) and you'd see toes tapping and heads bobbing from everyone in the crowd-EVERYONE. LOL. Playing enjoyable music made people more agreeable,put folks in a much better mood and no one was angry.

67 year old man here. My wife and I danced to songs like this 3 nights a week in the late 1970s before we married. So much fun
Music then was simple and contagious KC and Sunshine band deliver then and now .
' Get Down Tonight ' was his first hit . 1972, remember my father binging that album home.

That’s hard to beat in the 1970s.

Feel good entertainment.
I'm so tired of some people apologizing for disco, and usually the ones they're apologizing to are the elitist rock fans.
I’m 28 and it’s the best.
This song has that good pronounced underlying beat....the rhythm required for one to want to continuously move to!
KC is still making people dance. I got see him a few weeks ago. He also survived a bad car accident that left him partially paralyzed. He had to learn to walk and talk again.
KC and The Sunshine Band were definitely a dance group, lots of dancing
This band was huge when I was growing up and also a huge part of the disco scene. Great reaction video.
Another great performance on the 70's classic show "The Midnight Special"
I worked his 50th anniversary tour a couple weeks ago. He still has the energy and the band to match
Saw them at a free concert in Eisenhower Park on Long Island a bunch of years back in the summer at CBS F.M concert series and they had to close the park as it couldn't handle all the people wanting to see them play ❤🔥💯🎶
Set all time attendance record too...and this was in 2014!!!
#thatsthewayuhhuhuhhuhilikeit!!!
I got so sick of this song, I was 15 when this came out, I got to appreciate it later , and the Musicianship , especially compared to today!!
Yes yes boogie down Angela😊 I would give this a four also because I would reserve "I'm Your Boogie Man" or "(Shake Shake Shake) Shake Your Booty" both by KC and the Sunshine band as a number five😊👍 Great great reaction and we all love your boogie in your chair😊👍 bye for now 😊👍
My first 8 track!
I had just returned from the Mediterranean after 6 months, walked into a new bar for me. The girl behind the bar sang it to me.
KC was your bogey man. Good song that make me feel like dancing.
Back in the day dance clubs in Japan loved them some KC & shake your booty was a favorite. So many great songs, lots from the Bee Gees also.
Beautiful Angela, this is a great group. They had a bunch of good songs. Henry Casey from Miami, Florida. The trombone player was a judge for my sons' band competition when they were in high school.
You Had To Be There!😊😊😊😊😊
I saw KC a few years ago in Vail, CO. Free concert. Thousands of people showed up and the dude ROCKED!!! The best part? Seeing literally thousands of 70 years olds absolutely shaking their feathers! Not just moving. Throwing down! I was impressed!
“ Get down on it” yes good song. “Boogie Shoes” by KC and the Sunshine Band is a banger!!
Get Down On It is Kool and The Gang
Loved the song way back when it first came out❤
Awesome review looking forward to the next 2 weeks of music I grew up with! Graduated High School in '75 so this music brings back my life's best memories. The original KC & the Sunshine Band in this clip is the best version of the band that still performs today!
Good music can be simple .. happy .. and danceable ... what memories at the Loralie dance club ... what a night it was.
Early disco. Miami band. Kool and the gang in there also. Donna Summer as well
Van McCoy.. The Hustle started the line dance craze
“Shake Your Booty”, “Get Down Tonight”, “I’m Your Boogie Man” are my faves. For some reason I can recall a 1976 Summer Saturday evening where I watched the Summer Olympics, HeeHaw and then KC&TSSB on either a rerun of the “Dolly” or “Midnight Special” show. A little Romanian gymnast named Nadia that kept posting perfect 10’s must have caught my 15 year old eyes.
Hi Angela! Congratulations, this was your best chair dance yet! 😂
The Miami sound.!!!
Glad you listened to it. GREAT sound.
Y'all be safe
Get down on it was by Kool and the gang.
Get down tonight was KC and the Sunshine Band.
One of the best horn sections ever.
I was about 10yrs old, but when this jam came on the radio, we all blew up singing and dancing
When this came out it was an instant hit at the school dances they had every couple of months.
This song never gets old 🕺🪩💃🏾❤️🙏🏻
That's right, we old farts were shaking a leg long before you was born
It's so cool to see you dance to music I grew up with. I was four years old when this came out, but I remember hearing it on the radio and singing it.
It’s get down on it. This was the best years of the Miami music scene with KC and The Bee Gees .
Boy does this take me back!! So many great memories of dancing to these songs in the clubs!! Check out other great songs by KC and the Sunshine Band, '"Boogie Shoes", Shake Your Booty" and Keep it Coming Love."

Takes me back to Jr high, I like this more now than I did when I was a teen
Love you kids enjoying the music of my early years. We were just doing the best we could. Sending love to you, all.
These horns are kicking it.. as a trumpet player myself..we used to rock the heck out of this song back in high school. Band class..students came out of classrooms and started dancing in the hallways..1/2 teachers yelling at us to get back in class.. the younger teachers were jamming with us..oh the memories..
Best smile on the internet!
Club Days dancing, awesome music yeah 😀👌🎤
BOTH these classics would ALWAYS fill the dance floor IMMEDIATELY,, AWB "Pick Up The Pieces" & "Cut The Cake" 1974/1975 🔥
Instant Replay by Dan Hartman; Disco Inferno by The Trammps.
Not many have uploaded a reaction to Get Down Tonight. Suprised.
McFadden & Whitehead "Ain't No Stopping Us Now" was a Mega-Dance hit released in 1979..R.I.P. John & Gene 🙏❤️

THE HORNS WILL BLOW THE ROOF OFF THE HOUSE
Those dudes were the SHIT !! Always loved watching them as much as listening to them. Always entertaining.
Huge.fan of KC & the Sunshine Band, they had several good somgs... Good one Angela
The only thing missing is the flashing, multi-colored lighted dance floor! Had to been there!
Adding brass is always awesome!
I think the song she was referring to is "Get Down on It" by Kool & the Gang.
In my opinion they're We're the best dance band in the 70s Probably of all time

Hilarious. I like how your boogie meter is calibrated.
The best of the 1970's era disco bands. Their songs are always catchy and danceable.
Another suggestion by KC and the Sunshine Band: 'Keep It Comin' Love.'
"Get Down Tonight"!!!!!!!
My grandparents would listen to these disco songs KC was one of their favorites
Only people who couldn't dance didn't like disco🎉😊
Nice! "Shake Your Booty" and "Get Down Tonight".
One of the greatest songwriters of our time. LOL! But seriously, who cares about lyrics when the music is this hot.
I was 7 in 75. Everybody watched and listened to the same stuff 😂. Hell yeah 😂. Wonderful decade to grow up 😂😅😅😅.
You'd fit right in dancing 👌😉👍
Pretty funky tune , oh and love the chair moves Angela
Even today you could put together a 70s dance list for a gen z highschool and they would groove out.
Get down on it is Kool and the Gang
She might be thinking of Get Down Tonight.
I've always appreciated the deep lyrics in this particular song.
KC looks like he could be Jim Carry's brother LOL.
I think you're confusing KC & The Sunshine Band with Kool & The Gang, when you said Get down boogie. Kool & The Gang sing Get down on it & Jungle boogie. KC & The Sunshine Band sing Get down tonight, I'm your boogie man & boogie shoes
Love this one with the Horns and the 'Uh-Huh', a good one to boogie to. I would also give it 4 for boogie , got you moving Angela. 'Shake your Booty' which was suggested is another good one-Colin Ward
Ahhh, flares and platform shoes...the good old days.
GET DOWN TONIGHT, BOOGIE MAN, and KEEP IT COMIN', LOVE are some of my faves from KC and the Sunshine Band
GRT DOWN GIRL LOVE THEM MOVES
Hard not to move with this

🔥💯🎉🎶♥️
Now you must watch their song, Boggie Shoes. Just such a good song.

You was dancing to it. Just like women of the past. I wish more bands would play like this in today’s world.

MY THOUGHTS LETS DANCE🤣😎DAD ROCK
Great song
The group Dead or Alive known for " You spin me round" did the best remake of this song to date! We need more fun just get up and dance music again!
KC and the Sunshine Band, you have to go with I'm Your Boogie Man.
Now this got you dancing in your seat, but this was a staple song for a couple of months straight on American Bandstand. And I was just a young kid when this came out, but I remember seeing men and women roller dancing in parks with music blasting from boom boxes with this on.

Always a quick big thumbs-up. A cro×wd pleaser. Young & old. Let's enjoy life. Wait a minute.... I just couldn't let you dance by yourself!!

Get Down Tonight is my favorite of theirs.

I was 8 in 1976. I had bell bottoms
Great review and I love your dancing to the music.
Keep up the amazing vids!🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
