Don't under estimate how he dominated the charts in the 70s and early 80s. Had masses of hits.
not in the UK
Hoje é apenas sombra do que foi um dia. Tudo passa, tudo é passageiro, é vaidade.
In NZ he had heaps of fans 😂,I was one still am. ❤
Yup
What is baby giving up?
I met him after a concert in Michigan at a little UP casino in the 90’s. He was so down to earth and super cool. My friends and I ate with him and a couple of his band members.
Wow that must’ve been awesome! 🤩
I miss living in Michigan.
KC and the sunshine band never gets old. I love their songs !
same
I love how he got back in the studio to do this song after a serious car accident. Never give up!
Yessss❤I Loveeeee KC
Yeah they had better drugs back then. 😂
Really?
I don't know how I missed this gem in the 80s. Dudes attitude and confidence is off the charts.
I like that vigorous finger snapping @ 1:55!
Wow, I can't believe you missed this. This was one of those songs that made the 80's the 80's.
Yeah it is.. he was and still is " THE BEST "
It's all about the package.
It was one of my favorites
KC and his music were part of the unprecedented memories of meeting many women at the Disco.
i heard this playing on a car radio in a road rage youtube short . i had to look it up , actually a catchy song .
Me, too!
When film clips were so simple!!! The 80s absolutely were the best!!
I applaud this guy for his confidence. Love this song and the backup vocals of the girls.
Especially since he was still recovering from a pretty serious head-on car accident.
confidence? hes coked to the ceiling
@@stormbreaker4571 I can't blame him
@@stormbreaker4571 it was the 80’s every one was on Coke
By then he had yrs of great succes, why shouldn't he be confident
I love how he still applied the Miami sound that made him popular in the 1970s and incorporated that to the synth textures of the 1980s. Talk about adjusting to the times.
Yes you gotta respect it 100
Yes he did. I’m impressed that he was able to keep the same music style yet tweaked it slightly for the times.
Can you define "Miami sound"? I keep seeing that term, but I don't know what it means!
How can you NOT want to get up and DANCE. Perfect beat with good vocals! Love IT!
That's why I love his music so upbeat and i sure need that
@@jamiejones9335Casey kasem?
Makes we want to battle a psychotic villain bent on world domination.
Vocal perfect❤I loveeeee
I want to get up and dance!
I wish the United States and the world stayed in the carefree KC vibes. Let's go back.
I didn't realise at the time, just how good KC and the Sunshine Band was.
Good times.
Agree, I used to hate this type of music but with the coming of age i now really appreciate KC and realise how good these songs are.😀
Me too. There's alot of things from that time that I wish I would have savored more. I guess you don't know what you have till its gone. KC owned the 80s in this genre
Kc and the sunshine band,one of the greatest rock bands ever
they are not legendary. they are a one hit wonder. don't get his voice mixed up with lead singer of general public and fine young cannibals. they are different or dubbed like milli vanilli
@@davidkimmer not legendary I never meant legendary, just better than I thought at the time.
One of the best songs of all time!!!!!! Nobody beats K.C!!😀
When you find out that less than a year before this song/video, he was in a serious crash and had to learn to walk and everything again! And he musta felt so great making this vid! He’s ooozing greatness!
Didn't know that😮 Quick recovery..and Cool Song❤
Yep, came to this video for just that reason. Just learned this & have mad respect for his determination 🙌🏼 The other driver hit him head on, took major recuperation. Keep on dancing Harry/KC 💕
What’s even crazier is he dances so well in the music video
Amazing, a couple of years before this release he was in a bad car accident, paralyzed, and could not walk! he came back and got right back into the studio and released this classic. Thank You KC!
80's was a decade with fantastic songs with good melodies.
Yeah, they were. So many really good bands.
And so were the 70s, when this song came out.
@@theprojectproject01 If 1983 was in the 70's then yes!
There are a handful of good songs but in general the 80's is one of the worst decades ever. Way to cringe
Just left the memories,but the song never dies.
Scientists says you can go back it history, nice.
Everyone laughing about how he looks like Ace Ventura, but he owned the late 70s and early 80s. Hit after hit after hit.'...lol
You got that right!! Im dancing around the house to his songs. My youngest son is like mom please because I'm all in in face trying to get him to dance with me😂 I love kc and the sunshine band. Sometimes I just gotta get down with my old self😂 ❤❤❤
He should be in Music Hall of Fame...like yesterday!!! He was Amazing!
He was competing with Donna Summer.
Couldn’t care if he was naked, I love this song
maybe for the disco freaks, bell bottom pants, shirts unbuttoned, gold chains, why do you think disco died a quick sudden death
Hey, Beth. I know you’re dancing in heaven! Always think of you when I hear him!!! ❤❤❤❤
One of the coolest dudes to ever walk the face of this Earth!!!! 💖💖💖☺️
You know he was tapping that.
Oh lawd have mercy ! He still has it and knows how to use it!
And I am still in love ❤️
Love it
Absolutely not in this!
@@johnjuarez8005 I'll have to agree with you there! 😆😆😆
If the world ending today, this is my jam
Same. Same.
Hello this is Bevala, we all agree with you. Let's have fun!!

If ????
I made a edit of the world ending in movie and put it to this song it’s on my TikTok @londonmockett_ and my meme page on ig @dankyy.memes69
Same here 🥰😍😍😍
You can feel the passion with each step he takes. True talent.
Hexwss front the drugs more like it.
Came for Dahmer Monster
As I just posted about, this vid was made after he'd been in a terrible car crash and had to work hard just to learn how to do things like walk and play keyboard again. So, yeah .. that's a lot of passion in those steps because he worked hard to be able to take them. And, then he learned how to make them look ever so good!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@arlettasloan6453 passion in that sexy ball sack shaking
This is the best thing to have come out of 1983, and I was born that year ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
Who's listenning to this in 2024?
Every eyear
Right here jamming out to this with those moves.
Yup
Me love this song i always jammed to it when it played on the radio

Re: KC - In January 1981, he survived a serious car accident - another car hit his car head-on. He was left partially paralyzed for six months, and had to re-learn how to walk, dance, and play the piano, but by the end of the year he was back in the recording studio. "Give It Up", was released as a solo hit, shot to Number One in the UK (but his U.S. label, Epic, refused to release it).
true??
Holy smokes that’s absolutely true; BTW “Give it Up” was also a big smash hit in my homeland despite never achieving chart success in the USA 🇺🇸
And FYI by the time this song was released KC had already left the Sunshine Band to try his luck as a solo artist & released 2 solo albums: “The Hunter” & “Space Cadet”👩🎤 🌞 ☀️
That's true this song was popping off in Aus
WOW
Things we forget over the years. I vaguely remember hearing about his car accident and that he had to have a lot of rehab to function like he used to. Here's something no one remembers... I had a huge crush on him in the mid-late 70's. It must've been the pants, lol.
He didn't get the recognition he deserved. He was (and still is) a real star, a huge talent with happy and cool music. It's not too late ...
He is definitely a HUGE star! I've always loved their music, but I really have to ask what has happened to make him gain so much weight? How much, close to 100lbs? It can't be healthy at his age. He needs to see someone about losing some of it.☮✌
Love the smooth moves of the background dancers.
A gente dançávamos dê acordo com elas às dançarinas era tão mágico 😢😊😊
That would be the cocaine causing that smoothness.
before female dancers had brain damage from crack or were replaced with goon men no one wants to look at.
Harry Wayne Casey!!! 😅Hot Hot Hot!!!! Musical Genius!! Ever Grateful for your vision in the music industry HWC!!!!!🙏🙌👍🫶🏻✌️💃💃💃🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻🤩🥳💗💗💗💗👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️
That eye contact is slightly threatening...... and then he dances😂
Drugs?
He just wants to make you his all his.
He's pissed off he's stuck inside a trans-Pacific shipping container 😂
@@lukebuchwald9252 Hilarious!
That's because of that 80scocaine
This is definitely my top KC / Sunshine Band song. Such a fun song.
that these people ever existed and actually danced this way makes me so happy
Sigue bailando y cantando en las vegas
Yesssss!
And they were our stars!
Delícia de música. Anos 80 é tudo de melhor.
One of the great American bands of all time. I love KC and Sunshine Band.
Dam, those pants are soooooooo tight they are about to give it up🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was thinking that! Cant stop looking at that area!
😂😂😂😂 thanks for the laugh!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
he borrowed them from Tom Jones !!!
It how his gotten high notes
I just love this number. It’s a song of all ages. Makes you wanna dance, a feel good track. 💃🏿 🕺🏾 😅
Just heard this on season 6 of Black Mirror, then a car played it while waiting at the lights outside my window. Thank you both for bringing me here!
Never knew he sang this song. See him in a whole new light. That's a good thing
As músicas dos anos 80 são sensacionais, maravilha de música ouço até hoje
Can you please speak English?

Those were fun times! If you were there, you know!
KC, you were my favorite band by far when I was a kid in the 70's and teen in the 80's. Your high energy music is incomparable! We need to see a biographical film of your life on the silver screen sometime soon!
This was Number 1 in the charts on my last holiday with my dad. I was only 7 but remember it vividly. He died 10 years later, and I barely saw him during that period, but this song still means so much to me.
I grew up in this era. Listening to this makes me want to time travel in the era before virtual social media and smartphone. Plus, the artists of this era were passionate with their art, singing to the best of their ability.
it happened with all media industry bro. News, movies, videogames.... alll got destroyed by social politics.
Osama Anwar It’s more than just that. The Internet and digital technology made the entertainment industry more massive than it ever had been before and created a more fragmented consumer market than ever before. Before, you had to have record labels have the money to actually produce actual physical copies of records to sell during the analog days. Now they can make infinite copies of records to stream and to download and that ultimately creates way more competition for performers to sell their music and some resort to cheap publicity stunts like politics to get their foot in the door.
If only we could go back Rick I for one wouldn't come back to the present the world down the sewer 😢😢
I agree with you completely, such good times.
❤️1970s music & k.c & sunshine bands music
Great song, didn’t realize how great KC was back in the 80s great performance 👍
40 years ago this week top of the UK charts during that hot summer of 83.
Whaaaat? 40 years ago? Geez
I have been listening to this on repeat for the last 3 hours, it is currently 2 am, i think i'm gonna sleep now. Good night
DDD..same here, about 1 hour. For some reason I am totally hypnotized by both the music and the video.
Glad I am not alone.
Era criança na época(memória afetiva),mas hj com 42 anos,ouço no volume máximo,o barraco fica tremendo.
Amo essa música 🎶. Ouço no volume máximo, tbm. Não tem com escutar no volume baixo ❤👍Essa música é tudo de bom
Real music, real musicians.... Amazing video, love clothing KC and the way he dances...
Was never a big KC fan but i do believe I use to get down to this tune!
Remembering my mom watching this. It was one of her favorite songs when this came out.
Love always, Gary. 😥
KC and The Sunshine Band are always happening and rocking the funky world. I've fortunately had the recent pleasure of seeing them LIVE in Columbia, SC indoors- and outdoors in Roanoke, Virgina at Elmwood Park. KC and The Sunshine Band are always high energy inspiring fantastic and magnificent.
I look forward to October 15 in Atlantic City where they will team up for the B52's Farewell Tour. Their Hollywood (and Palm) Star(s) are well deserved and earned.
Every KC and The Sunshine Band member is humble down to earth good souls.
Please do not stop touring. KC and The Sunshine Band are welcomed and loved all the time forever in the spirits and hearts of everyone who listens to the funky beat of your awesome music. You ROCK KC and The Sunshine Band!
NaNaNaNaNaNaNa NaNaNaNa baby give it up , must have been brilliant singing this with the band
The B-52's are doing a farewell tour? Why?
This was written by someone who’s being paid to write that
@@StamesJevens What do you mean?
@@princessangel1301can you picture that blurb being promotional copy for the band? It reads like a description of the band on a website selling tickets
Man, my sisters and I couldn't wait for them on American Bandstand. So many others, too, but KC gets a lot of flack. This is great music. Just can't get enough.
🖤🎶
Cheers Sis, Im 65, I loved America Bandstand but couldn't wait cause Soul Train was next. 😳🫣🤣 Hhahah! JK .I was never a big KCSB fan. But now I come across this jem. On repeat lately 💃🕺🎵🎶🎵👍
This song brings back so many happy memories of the 1980s .
The first time I heard this song, was as I was entering I-95 going back to Fort Lauderdale, really liked this song.......I was with my best friend, AL, who passed away later....this song reminds me of him, our friendship....Rest In Peace, AL....
I love this song! I can't believe it didn't shoot to #1 here in the US. I commend him for his resilience after such a traumatic accident!
He's never disappointed me at any of his live shows over the years! I'm going this Sat to see him.
@KC Arh bless you thats such a sweet reply id forgotton until i came across this, amazing xxxxxx
KC you're amazing my dear friend and brother I'm very impressed that you are a survivor and a gentleman indeed XO Rosie from New York City
What happened to KC? I loved him since I was a little girl.
My brother saw him in Fort Lauderdale back in the mid 70's ..said KC was a class act.lots a talent and a nice guy
HOW WAS THE SHOW????
We should call radio stations to bring this music back!!! ❤

Nothing beats the 60's 70's 80' for wonderful gruops & songs. God bless us for being so lucky tio have the chance to sing & dance with them ❤❤❤ xxx
every era has its pioneers and classics. The 90's and early 2000's have some great melodies/songs/lyrics/etc.
Some would disagree.
I always wondered where Jim Carrey got the inspiration for Ace Ventura. Now I know...
Alrighty then!
Never saw it before now....lol

Im a classic rock guy but KC and the Sunshine/Junkaroo band are super.....
KC got over so much serious problems. Thank so much UK to bring him a new #1. As usual UK and Netherlands have the best musical taste. Excelent but sounds like a demo.
2020, estou com 40 anos...me tornei um clássico, só ouço os clássicos...quem tem bom gosto,chega mais...música boa é vida...🇧🇷😍🎵🎤🎶
Falou tudo.. verdadeiro clássico
Nossa, essa é boa demais
Aqui é só Antena 1 e Alpha Fm
Nasci na melhor década de música, filmes e cultura. Anos 80 forever.
🤘
Yseeee ✌️
Late 70's- 80's It was the decade of the Synth, even in this great song. One of the best synth riffs was in Follow You, Follow Me by Genesis.
#1 on the UK Singles Chart in 1983 for 3 weeks.
Crazy, their American label, refused to even release it, even though the songwriter had made so much money for them.
@@spottedliver I think it's #1 of all his songs on Spotify. Just shows what THEY know!
FICO MUITO FELIZ DE OUVIR MÚSICAS COMO ESSAS...❤🇧🇷
This song will never be the same since, 'Ole's at the Wheel'.
I was reminded of this from when I was kid by Black Mirror on Netflix 2nd episode. I miss the 80's so much sometimes. Reminds me of being a little boy going to school. Love it. Wonder what they all do now.
I saw them play in my local record store when I was 14. I knew they would make it.
Excelente banda, bela música!Janeiro 2020!
March 🤩
Coronaaaa
Show amigo!!
Obrigada Beijos ❤❤
We're not allowed to be that happy anymore, I hope you all enjoyed it while it lasted. The younger generations have no idea what I'm talking about.
Forgot those miserable people im 20 and enjoy these songs from back then cuz of my mom
I heard this the movie but my mom be radio'n alla time. Yeah the movie is Kingsman
You are allowed to be happy. Who said you can't? The younger generation are not that bad.
I get what you’re saying, ignorance was bliss for some older generations, but facing reality is necessary
@@arachris2465For what? You gonna change a thing?? By being super conscious ? Nope.Why I live securely in the past either my own or other decades before,through music, film etc
This guy will never get the credit he deserves he dominated and innovated
An absolute banger, combining the Miami Sound with synthpop!
Amazing song, it never ever gets old ❤️ ♥️
a tremendous incredible classic now 42 years old!! one of the classics of the 80's - one of the best disco songs.
Good music never becomes old.❤️👍. Who danced to this during Saturday records night in boarding school entertainment. Records nights were massive 👍
KC... cool it with the crazy eyes, you're freaking me out
matty your money or your life
The man is off his Barnet haha
Everyone still is
4am, it's okay just another few bumps, the shoot isn't until 8am.... 5am, if I go asleep at 6, I'll get an hour sleep and no one will be the wiser, I'm just going to give myself a nice line as a reward for thinking of that.7am. Can't believe I thought I needed sleep, I feel brilliant I could do anything right now. Just a bit more of that as it is now helping me focus on what I need to be a good performer. 8am. Let's fucking do this!
hahahahahahah that was the funniest thing i read good for you ,your so right he does have crazy manson like eyes watch out he may getcha lol
Definitely should have No.1 on the charts back then. A true master piece!
I’m sorry but it could NEVER have been a number one hit back in 1982.
Disco was universally hated back then and KC and the Sunshine Band was definitely a disco band and that means that everyone “hated” them. That is why they were only able to make 18 on the Hot 100, and it was lucky to get that.
I was a fan and own this LP, and like you think it was a true masterpiece. But it was never going to get that kind of love from the mainstream audience.
I was in high school when this came out and in the early 90s I was a Pop DJ and got to meet and have a short chat with KC. I told him that “Give It Up” was my favorite song of his and he was appreciative.
@@josebrown5961The song was definitely a post disco song instead of a disco song, that was popular in the early 80s.
@@quanashiab.9620 Yes it was “post disco” but it was in the most hated time for disco. I was there I know. I bought the album when it came out.
@@josebrown5961yeah I can remember the late '70s and early 80s and what you said was true. I remember when all the "cool" kids were going around saying disco sucks.
@@patcola7335 Saying it? How about the T shirt craze where people had shirts with all kinds of things on them like DISCO SUCKS!
I was young and remember the really interesting time when disco “died.” All kinds of music got airplay, Punk Rock, Heavy Metal, and the beginnings of Hip Hop. As a young teenager it was a great time for music discovery.
Hey, I'm a boomer generation hard rocker, but KC was the bomb. If you love music how could you dismiss this? I love all genres, and the Sunshine Band lit it up. 👌
Na na na na na micky van de ven , van de ven ! Micky van de ven!!
Grande sucesso das antigas. Este embalo é muito legal. Eta sonzeira
Absolutely Beautiful Masterpiece, great music & memories of life from K.C. & Sunshine Band, outstanding music

I love that Tom Tom 🥁
A'm here at 2024!!!
I met KC once he walked into an art gallery I worked for on the Big Island, just a genuine down to earth good guy.
Adoro KC desde moleque. No caminho da escola eu ouvia tocando em todos os rádios pela rua. Devia ter uns 8 ou 9 anos. Lembro que eu pensava tipo: "O mundo deve ser um lugar legal apesar de tudo. Mas onde rola essa festa que não me convidaram? Por que as pessoas que eu conheço são tão chatas, sendo que uma música desse tipo só pode vir de gente realmente feliz?" Música cria universos dentro da tua cabeça. O problema é que a realidade nem sempre corresponde à expectativa...
this melody is unforgettable .....so many beautiful memories brings this song to my mind .....I adore the 80's !
This song IS THE BEST!!
KC's best song. Loved hearing it again!
So, I was talking to Mom about K.C. and she asked a question that led to some Googling, which led to me reading about how he made this video after he was in a terrible car wreck that caused him so much damage he had to relearn how to walk, play the keyboard and I think they said talk and sing, too. I can't remember. it sounded horrendous. But, now I am way more impressed with this video! It's so much more than just a catchy song by a familiar face.
Thank you!! At least SOMEBODY in this comment section did some research!! A lot of them are just concentrating on how much coke they assume he was on! Probably projecting what they were doing themselves!
"Black Mirror" brought me here. First time hearing the song and seeing the video. Remember as a kid singing "Shake your booty".
BEAUTIFUL MUSIC AND LOVE THE LADIES DRESSES!!! NOBODY IS NAKED!!!
Anos 80. Que maravilha. Que época maravilhosa. Só quem viveu sabe como foi. Um abraço a todos .
Música boa atravessa décadas... Qualquer festa hj que tocar essa música, a galera levanta e dança muito! KC é show d+
He was slaying the 🐈 back in the day.
He owns the stage ❤
A man that took such simple lyrics and turned them into solid gold.
Definitely
