I got all of their 70s albums.Favorite songs: "Boogie Shoes","Keep It Comin' Love","Sound Your Funky Horn" and "That's The Way I Like It"

Loved 'em in the 70s... My friends and I liked to make up "dance routines" while playing their 45s...

they had a few funky catchy joints....but they all sounded too similar...band had a nice little rhythm section...KC was an awful singer though.

That was the main thing that attracted me to their music. Tight rhythm section and great production/arrangments. I wouldn't be surprised to see a documentary in the future talking about the musicians who contributed behind the scene (if there isn't one already).

There was something on the other day that chronicled the early scene down there. I forget the channel and the name of it but I was flipping channels and came upon this compelling saga. It featured songwriter Willie Clarke and Clarence Reid aka Blowfly. Also Betty Wright. The whole TK Records connection. There was tons of R&B brewing up down there in the 60's.

Did the documentary mention Willie Hale aka Little Beaver as well as Gwen and George McCrae?

They were all associated with TK records recording under the subsidiary Cat label. My mom used to

have 45's by all 3 artists.

Man yall ain't right talking bout KC looks like an aerobics instructor.

I don't think they ever stopped performing...I'm glad they are able to get Gigs and do what they are passionate about...A Man going through life and never Following his Passion has a restless Spirit...

Bless his aerobicising heart.

"I'm a Pony! I'm a Pony! I'm a Pony!"

KC And The Sunshine Band=excellent musicianship from a band that is still tight AF. I saw them last year and had a blast.

I sometimes talk to the drummer, David, whose brother I used to date. They are wrapping up some overseas tour dates and still going strong.

I guaranteee you'll be dancing all night at their show.

The first single I ever bought was from this band.

Love them, an essential 70's act.

I'm laughing at whoever said "K.C. had an awful voice!" LOL! He really DID/DOES! Yeah...a lot of their stuff WAS/IS tight, but sounded/sounds very similar. I, on the other hand, kinda dug their first two 80's albums on Epic/CBS: "The Painter" and "All In A Night's Work." From "The Painter," even though it bombed, "Love Me," the first single, was sung in a total falsetto, which would have inclined one 2 believe that it wasn't even K.C. and the Sunshine Band! Tight little joint that I still spin here 'n there.

I just love their upbeat dance music.

Boogie shoes

I'm your boogie man

Shake, shake, your booty

Thats the way I like it.

Give it up

.

Classic 70s and one early 80s dance jams.

Y'all gonna dance, ought to get out on the floor to this one.

I got my boogie shoes.

yeah,the album cover looks absurd now (lol),but their 1979 album Do You Wanna Go Party is one of my favorites.The big hit here was "Please Don't Go".

^^^^

"Boogie Nights" I freakin' love that album cover btw but I agree that album was a solid production.

Weird...this is their only album that hasn't been properly remastered/reissued except by Collectibles and I don't believe the sound is very good. There are also no bonus tracks 2 my knowledge.

Yes, one of the FUNKIEST bands of all time! I love them! I think they are very underrated. You are not human if you don't get up and dance to any of their songs! I love their classic dance and upbeat songs, Thats the Way I Like It, Boogie Shoes, Boogie Man, Get Down Tonight, etc. Its nice they are still out there performing and doing what they love.

One interesting thing about this album: The title track,as it appears on the album,is a mostly intrumental jam with chants and "party noise".However,the single version is a complete song,with verses and chorus.I'm cool with both versions so it's not a problem at all but I'd love a remaster that contains both versions.
