"That's The way I Like It" "Boogie Shoes" Keep It Comin Love" Do You Wanna Go Party" and my personal favorite. I'm Your Boogie Man". I can remember watching them on tv and seeing that funky horn section tearing it up. And those brothers could dance and play. KC probably made the best roller skating music ever. Thoughts anyone?

Another nice KC song was "Please Don't Go", that I believe came out around 1980. That one is my personal favorite, even though it's more of a song to slow dance to, it wouldn't work well for a roller skating song.

Dansa!!

Oh yeah. I remember that one too. I suppose the only way to make that one work on the roller rink is to play it as a couples only song huh?

ThePunisher said:

There ya go.

Hell yeah! "Get Down Tonight" is one of my all time favorite songs.

Also great:

"I Like to Do It"
"That's the Way I Like It"
"Shake Your Booty"
"Keep It Coming Love" (Don't Stop!)

Another KC song that just came to mind, the 1983 hit, "Give It Up". Does anybody remember that song?

I'm your Boogie Man baby!!

HELL YEAH !!!!! u need their live video from florida 74...HOT !!!!!

psychodelicide said:

Yeah I do. That was KC solo without the Sunshine band. Nice tune but his career was pretty much done by then.

ThePunisher said:

Agreed.

All I need is I Get Lifted.

Stymie said:

Same here.

They used to play that one in the skating rinks all the time in my area at the time of the night when they had a "couples only skate". Another one was "Yes I'm Ready".

Hell yeah. I had forgotten about it until I heard it on either a Target or Old Navy commercial. I had to have it and had a friend make me a copy of his.

Hells yeah!

Of course. I thought everyone who grew up in the 70's HAD to be!

Give It Up is by far my favourite. The song reminds me of something... whatever. Party Up!

I've played Get Down Tonight and That's the Way in cover bands back in the day.
They were always fun tunes.

You can add to the list Rock Your Baby (George McCrae), Rockin' Chair (Gwen McCrae) and Dance Across The Floor (Jimmy "Bo" Horne). These were basically KC tunes with different lead singers.

Blowfly says he wrote "Rockin Chair" in the 60s.

CinisterCee said:

Yes he did.
Probably made the comment as Clarence Reid though if he wanted credibility.

The whole Dance Across the Floor album is fun. Except for the vocal style, it is exactly like a KC & The Sunshine Band album. His presence on the album is obvious through and through. That's not a bad thing at all, just very noticable.

theAudience said:

I like his style....He has a signature sound which came accross in his productions. I think my favorites are "Keep In Coming" and "Give It Up"...I like those a lot better than probably the better known "Shake Your Booty" and "That's The Way I Like It".

I liked Give It Up when I was younger, but skip it over now. The liner notes on my KC greatest hits mentiones that some people mistaken thought the lyrics to the former tune were, "Keep it common law, keep it common law."

I can dig it.

some of my favorite songs by them:

"Sound Your Funky Horn" (1974)
"That's The Way I Like It" (1975)
"Boogie Shoes" (1975)
"Keep It Comin' Love" (1977)
