KC & the Sunshine Band! So of course we all know their hits, but recently I've been really in the moood for dancing to some disco-funk. I love all the well know songs, so is it worrth it for me to pick up their albums, and if so which ones?
Also any other suggestions of similar artists would be greatly appreciated  If you will, so will I | |

If you're looking for something that has the KC sound with a better singer...
...consider Jimmy "Bo" Horne. The Best of the T.K. Years, 1975-1985 A couple of other T.K. artists KC was involved with were George & Gwen McCrae. tA  Tribal Disorder

better yet...look for any artist that did stuff under the TK records label (and all of its subsidiary labels). almost everything TK put out was excellent, and they're one of my fave labels. | |

As The Audience said, definately Jimmy "Bo" Horne with jams like "You Make Me Hot" and "Dance Across The Floor" which are very KC sounding. Andy is a four letter word. | |

I don't know that I have a preference for Bo Horne over KC. I like them both. Since KC produced both Bo and George McCrae, they've got very similar sounds. | |

Yeah, KC's voice works for the KC tunes. To me, adding the stronger Jimmy "Bo" Horne vocals is the KC Vibe 2.0.

StarMon said: Henry Stone I was listening to another artist on the tk label the other day Little Beaver " Party Down" http://www.henrystonemusic.com A staple of Henry Stone's TK stable. The late great Jaco Pastorius played on Little Beaver cuts I Can Dig it Baby & Funkadelic Sounds. The thing he's probably most known for (at least among musicians) are the signature guitar parts he plays on Betty Wright's hit Clean Up Woman tA Tribal Disorder

Love this song but amazingly,I prefer the single version instead of the album version.The album version is mostly instrumental with lots of party noises  They must have been high when they recorded it,lol.The single version is more focused,with actual verses and vocals. | |

As kids we would march around the neighborhood singing this, until one day a friends mom decided that "have a funky time" sounded too much like, well..something else. We still sang it. We just waited til she wasnt around.  A happy face, A Thumpin Bass, For A Lovin' Race. PEACE. | |
