For sure. And other big TK hits.

He's also all over the Blowfly tracks.

I don't know, the tunes are cool for what they are.
KC might seem a bit goofy live but the band is serious.

They had multiple consecutive hits in the mid 70s and were done in by a combination of the record company milking releases (releasing the flip side of singles already released as new singles), KC getting in an accident, by poor quality control on an album (one track skipped on multiple copies I bought and returned), and finally the bizarre disco backlash that I never understood.
