- KC and the Sunshine Band is an American disco and funk band, founded in 1973 in Hialeah, Florida.[1][2] Their best-known songs include the hits "That's the Way (I Like It)", "(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty", "I'm Your Boogie Man", "Keep It Comin' Love", "Get Down Tonight", "Boogie Shoes", "Please Don't Go" and "Give It Up". The band took its name from lead vocalist Harry Wayne Casey's last name ("KC") and the "Sunshine Band" from KC's home state of Florida, the Sunshine State. The group had six top 10 singles, five number one singles and one number two single on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
The band was formed in 1973 by Harry Wayne Casey (KC), a record store employee and part-timer at TK Records in Hialeah, Florida. KC originally called the band KC & The Sunshine Junkanoo Band, as he used studio musicians from TK and a local Junkanoo band called the Miami Junkanoo Band. He was introduced to Richard Finch, who was engineering records for TK, and the Casey-Finch musical collaboration began. They were soon joined by Jerome Smith (June 18, 1953 - July 28, 2000) and drummer Robert Johnson, both TK studio musicians.
The first few songs, "Blow Your Whistle" (September 1973) and "Sound Your Funky Horn" (February 1974), were released as singles, and did well enough on the U.S. R&B chart and overseas that TK wanted a follow-up single and album. However, while working on demos for KC & the Sunshine Band, the song "Rock Your Baby" (George McCrae) was created, featuring Smith on guitar, and became a number one hit in 51 countries in mid-1974. The band's "Queen of Clubs", which featured uncredited vocals by McCrae, was a hit in the UK, peaking at #7, and they went on a tour there in 1975.
With the release of the self-titled second album KC and the Sunshine Band in 1975 came the group's first major U.S. hit with "Get Down Tonight". It topped the R&B chart in April and hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in August. "That's the Way (I Like It)" also became a number one hit. - wikipedia

Back when funk and color didnt matter. Everybody just boogied down! MIxed band. Funk was funk.
Thank you for saying that....everybody just funked.❤
It’s actually disco. Funk is a different type of music 😊
The 70s were the shit!
Color never mattered in the music industry and among musicians.
That was Discos thing…total inclusion…in the beginning. This is not funk, too structured.
Finally a full concert....That's a lot of SUNSHINE.
If ya like that check out some of The Ike and Tina Turner Review. They put on a badass show too.
Amen ! i was just reminiscing about how much i miss the real good ole days. real people, real music, real fun. YES a Boat load of Coke, but hey. like The "God Father" said Livin in America!
Part of the fabric of our lives if you were born in the eighties, seventies or before. Thanks for posting!
This is the kind of multiracial expressions of joy, peace and love.. That is the way I like it. Awesome.
Same as Prince & The Revolution.
🎸🎹🥁
The bass guitarist handling his business. Three beautiful ladies backing it up. The guy in the turban taking it to another level. And KC--the funkiest white dude on the planet. Love it.
It's not easy to play his parts. There are a lot of unique accents that are difficult to replicate.
I think KC was part Cuban. Great mixed band.
@@elizabethmencia6027: Italian and Irish, I think....
The band is on point.
KC is a people person with a lot of soul and heart!
The vibe, groove, energy is off the charts..Harry Wayne you are Legend man!!!!
Those horn players sure earned their money that night.
Man I so miss the 70's
So do I!
KC and The Sunshine Band is legend!!
Very easy to dismiss KC and the Sunshine Band as disco flash-in-the-pans, but these guys (and ladies!) sound great! No studio trickery here, just a great live band. They could bring it!
They certainly were no disco flash-in-the-pans. He still performs live shows even 45 years later now in 2023. In the UK they had around 15 hits from '74 onwards & even a no 1 in '83 with 'Give It Up'. I know in the US they were absolutely huge & had five no 1's during their string of hits that went well into the 80's. KC was also busy producing George McCrea who himself had a good run of hits for ten years or so, including his no 1 single 'Rock Your Baby' which has been recognised as Disco's first no 1single. He was and still is a forerunner of the Disco explosion & so rightly deserved the phenomenal worldwide success that the band enjoyed. So to say they were flash in the pans is really a bit of an insult considering how much KC & the Sunshine Band contributed to the happy generation of Disco. The guy deserves a freekin' medal.
...and this isn't "disco" anyway.....
Hot damn!! KC and the band always brought it! I'll always love this man. I always wanted to be 15 years older so that I could go to Woodstock and this Miami concert❣️
Totally agree! Hardly a week goes by when KC isn’t on the radio. Def not a flash in the pan. Brilliant stuff!
@@rsmith7912: Harry (KC) wrote that song for George McCrea.
I don't think many thought KCaTSB would be timeless in 1975.
We were overwhelmed with great music from all around. Very pleased that their music has proven to be timeless and still uplifting.
They've persevered and are still touring through 2023; nearly 50 years after this 1975 concert.
This performance is so good. I wish artists today would embrace this!
No one has this kind of talent, anymore.
That horn section is dynamite.
Hel yea....🎷📯🎺🎺🎷🎶🎶 iam all funked up now 🎸🎶....😁
R.i.p. Jerome you were a great guitar player thank you for putting all your hard work into good music,
Left us way too early…
RIP Jerome Smith, funkiest 🎸 player!!!
Ain't NOTHIN' wrong with this band! Love KC & The Sunshine Band! 💙💙
Lots of energy on that stage.
This footage deserves a full restoration !
🙌🏽
This belongs in the National Archives!
@@disco76 hellz yeah!
Geez, I was 17 when this was recorded and never thought of the band as being serious musicians and they are awesome!
KC and The Sunshine Band incombustibles. Su música y espectáculo impresionante. Habrá una banda así en vivo hoy 2024? Con toda seguridad NO.
Was at this concert back in the day. Was really great in person. Great times.
I WISH I had been there!
Nessa época eu estava com 14 anos, hoje com 62 e ainda curto essa banda inesquecível ❤❤❤
I remember being a kid in the 70s and listen to this stuff it was awesome😊
…a mid seventies Fender Jazz Bass coming through an Ampeg SVT bass rig. This is absolute music to my ears. Much of the appeal of this act are the neat and tidy bass figures - and I feel many didn’t even realize it. People react to a easy, funky beat by dancing - not realizing that it’s the bass they’re dancing to! (Well, the drums come first.) That’s the thing with us bass players…we’re secretly in control of the entire operation. All I hear in this film is bass and I love it. It’s so freakin good. Finch exhibits a great amount of discipline in his playing. As I listen here I’m playing all kinds of fills in my head…all the while Richard just keeps to the root. He’s a true pro - and co-wrote their biggest hits!
Amen brother. The bass line is effin tight and so are the drums ! I respect the bass players.
I'm 55 years old...this is my first time watching this.....AWESOME!!!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Oh yes I definitely remember that concert , and that’s when I fell inlove with Mr. Harry Wayne Casey soulful vocal singing style And his sexy persona ❤❤❤❤❤
This is what happens when the Soul/Funk/R&B/Latin sound is fused together! ❤️
Yes, it’s called Disco.

Yo oh voy 2bi
MOS DEF!!!!
A big fan of KC from Holland
The best sound ever !!!
Gorgeous bass playing, great guitar, the drummer is on point and damn the horn players can dance! Wicked show and notice how the crowd slowly shifted from fairly reserved 'seat groovers' to full on 'get down' mode as the concert moved along?....
not often good music comes around and stays awhile, it is so good that it stays etched in memory...then here comes mankind and assigns a genre to it....disco, dance, funk, jazz, ☠👹...just call it great music!
Started out a bit shaky with the bass not working. As they move through the set, they light a fire. Man that back line is smoking hot. Such a great band. Fantastic backing vocals and those horns are incredible. Casey is real solid. Oh to have been there.
The song AIN'T NOTHING WRONG is SO beautiful it makes me want to to cry! Where is that (DeLorean) time machine, I want to go back, NOW!
Hialeah IN DA HOUSE!! I went to high school with KC and he sold me MANY records when he worked at Recordsville (yes, that really was the name of the record store). The UNDISPUTED King of Funky Disco!! And yes, GIVE IT UP FOR THE MUSICIANS - THEY'RE THE BEST!! Nudie made the FABULOUS outfits!!
Nude did a fantastic job, the band looks as exciting as they sound!
Nudie
Came across this by chance . . WOW!
💜 WOW ✨
✨NOW, THAT IS HAVEN A GREAT✨ TIME💜 AND WHAT A BEAUTIFUL✨ SMILE!✨ 💜 KC💜JUST FEEL YOUR LOVE🙏 🎶✨ENERGY ✨🎶
What a show!
Ain't Nobody Like KC & The Sunshine Band what a Great Performance !! I Love Every Song!!!
Look at that crowd. Black White Cuban etc all together grooving to KC. MIAMI !!!!
I just want to know who are the freaking idiots that gave this a thumbs down as a bass player myself the bass player was killing it if you gave this a thumbs down you must be young and like that crap they call music today
You should see the crazy looks I got when I told young people I was going to see KC in August. I blame their parents, I grew up listening to everything from Boston Pops to Lynn Anderson, to Ray Charles and Elvis.
diffrnt strokes for diffrnt folks
Amazing! Awesome! I wish I could go back in time and to be there. Thank you, RUclips, for sharing this with the world
yt is the best.
Talented American band
Till that day.. outstanding! No party without them.
…..classic how I miss those days 🙌🏼🎲🎸🍻💫
No two ways about it, the Sunshine band were a bunch of bad Mothers!!!! whoo !! they all complimented each other so awesomely! Good times in better days!

This must have been before "Que Pasa" and "Queen of Clubs"
Love 😘 the originals.
I saw him in the early 90's
Music track, him in two African American ladies.
He was lip syncing and danced a few vulgar moves.
I left before it was even over.
Wasted time.
Gracias por los nombres de las canciones.
@@emilywickler8871it was after "queen of clubs" was released
Thanks for the break down that’s the way I like it 🎉
this band totally jams... rock it!
I love how the bass is absolutely cranked up! 🔊🙌
Seeing this is happiness to me.
I love KC AND THE SUNSHINE BAND!!!!
A funky bass line,the guitar has a rockabilly blue-grass funk feel to it.The keyboards have a pop-jazz atmosphere sound to it.The Horns are just magic-magnificent.
Can't how many hours of practice to pull this off with precise steps and notes. 😊
This is so cool. I have always loved their music. Miss that great happy music.
Kc was born to boogie with soul
Awesome as always/still doing it today!! 64/remember playing to your songs…great generation back then everything flowers/hippies!❤

Real band, no auto tune, real singing, real funk, 40 years later still get me out to dance whenever i hear "Get Down Tonight" !!
Got the chance to see them perform in Charlotte North Carolina in 1977 I was 17 years old this brings back so many wonderful memories I met a lot of new friends in line waiting to get in the concert I was living in South Carolina so this was a treasured moment for me
Awesome. Priceless
Some of the tightest funk you'll ever hear, rocks my soul
what an awesome piece of footage ... thanks a million
Bell-bottoms and platform shoes and brim hats.. bring back them days🤣
This is all fire.. everyone doing something working hard....classic...
Love that transition from Rock Your Baby to That's the way.
This music today is not more possible , it’s very triste 😭 😭😭
The song @ 16:58 is a deep funky groove with drummer, bass player and the rhythm guitar player in a deep funky pocket. 😎
Good ear to catch that!!!
Don't forget the percussionist too

Dance.
From Japan💓
Them horns was hitting them dance steps
They were unbelievable in the 70s and the dance moves whole playing was incredible especially the trumpet player ! The female singers were soooooooo fiiine !!!!!
Underrated band. Love them.
They pretty much ruled the world between 1975 and 1977. "Underrated" isn't really an accurate description.
@@Modes9 except for the fact that you hardly hear them on the radio anymore.
I NEVER hear them on the radio anymore, you have to go to RUclips to hear them. I DO remember how popular they were in the mid 70's, but I feel they're a little "forgotten".
@@GARose-kt4jc they’ve been overshadowed by The Bee Gees.
@@DanielSchmidt94521 Maybe so, but I STILL like KC & the Sunshine Band BETTER!
I SEE FERMIN, PLAYING THE BONGOS. OMG THIS IS A TREAT. 🤗🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌸🌹🌹❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏. MILAGROS MOGRO FROM FL.
Those ho. Players were fantastic ! Love KC too. !!
Fantastic !! Awesome !! music machine ........
5 Years ago I had the chance to go to their concert. And I tought, Dont create too much expectation. In the youtube old videos theye were young, strong. Than came the surprise. I was wrong.
KC & The Sunshine Band I've been hearing this band perform since their beginings, had the opportunity to see them play after 40 years and they still have the energy to put everybody to dance.
Great band, Great style & Grest music.
Saw these guys live at great adventure in New Jersey at the time I lived in North Miami two blocks from Criteria studios .🌴
39:35 Just found out today the name of the funky dancer (trumpeter), Ronnie Smith.
I've been seeing him do his thing on several videos and just loved his moves! Sadly, he died at 59, being in a coma for a long time after a carjacking went wrong. Love you always, Ronnie!
Awww, that's so sad that he died so young!! Thanks for the info.
wore this VHS out in the early '90's!!
No white man has ever had this much SOUL!!. KC AND THE SUNSHINE BAND had us all in RACIAL HARMONY.
LET'S NOT FORGET BOBBY CALDWELL & BOZ SCAGGS
The guys are charismatic and full of funk and truly passionate about their crafts💙
and the guy in the white turbin...he’s got a bit of Holy Ghost in him! 👍🏼
lets not forget Northern soul
@@marcuscato6614 And Hall & Oates.
Thanks a lot for sharing this, that was a joy to watch!!! 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
Quite a performance
Thanks to whoever uploaded this show. It’s great to see an actual concert from KC and the Sunshine Band from back in the day. So put on your Boogie Shoes and get down tonight. That Horn section is amazing!
Great to see never saw this before
What a great concert i really enjoyed it so much energy ❤🎉
God blessed RUclips for shared show like this 🎸🎼🎵🎶💜
Bang bang boogie true like the desserts miss the tears❤
Incredible
Real Music!!!👍
They killed it....70's Greatest era of all times....When racism were at an all time low....For the most part, everybody got along...50 years later, all gone to hell...So glad I was born to witness such greatness as KC, and many others during this time
Racism only seems greater today because the media makes a big ordeal out of essentially nothing. That is why it is important to get away from such news outlets such as CNN and MSNBC. They are controlled by the globalists that have an agenda. "Racism" is a political tool to control the masses. If anything, there are probably more successful black people who are succeeding and thriving today than ever before.
@@MORCOPOLO0817: Well said - THANK YOU!!!!
💯🙌🏻🎯🔥 couldn’t agree more. I was only a child when this concert happened. Definitely don’t remember as much hate happening back then compared to today’s time. Well, since the late 2000’s, Specifically 2008 till today’s time. A certain president is the cause of such division. 2008-2016.
Thisisagreatuncoveredgemfromthepast,rockonandenjoy!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂❤
They didn't slow down for a second. Damn!
saw all great acts RS, RS, Pink Fl , BS, ELP etc etc, but this once by chance in NJ Six Flags Great Adventures still proud. Grammy got it and worth it, give it up
Happy the kids who grew up with this, EWF Eagles Doobie brothers and all and all ! THAT was music ! THEY knew how to play and instrument !
Love this so much!! Miss those days!
Great performance!
Sweet God. That bass !!!
Rick Finch "killed it"!
Eso no es un recital, es una Fiesta!!!! 🤩👍👍👍
Great cowbell by KC, and beautiful horns!!
I agree!!
