Hell yeah, they could throwdown some ass shakers such as:
Do You Wanna Go Party That's The Way I Like It (Shake Shake Shake) Your Booty I'm Your Boogie Man Boogie Shoes Get Down Tonight And even a slow jam or two such as: Please Don't Go Yes I'm Ready Andy is a four letter word. | |

KC's ASS Blew-Up over the years!  Still love their sound - learned how to dance listening to "Get Down Tonight". I remember when that was the hottest song on the radio and at parties. | |

I love this song too,but oddly enough,I prefer the single version.I have the album that it is on,but the album version doesn't have any real lyrics.It's more like an instrumental jam with shouts and party voices,but no verses.The 45 version is more of a real song. | |

Do You Want To Go Party is such an underrated jam by KC and The Sunshine Band. I truly love that one out of all the others they'd made.
The instruments! The vocals! The overall feel is, yeah it's amazing for lack of a better word. | |

80% Jerome Smith (Guitar. Putting the funk in it)
10% Richard Finch (Co-Writer. Co-creator and Bass Player.) 7% Sunshine Band (Those brothas dancing with the horns. Act like you know.) 3% KC [Edited 2/14/08 10:17am] "The first time I saw the cover of Dirty Mind in the early 80s I thought, 'Is this some drag queen ripping on Freddie Prinze?'" - Some guy on The Gear Page | |

You got that right. They've got him on quite a few TK produced artists. Imagine building a funky track around him and Jimmy Nolen...STANK! tA  Tribal Disorder

Thet were very dominant in the 70's. Surprised no one has mentioned the cut "Please Don't Go". That's my fave from them. A ballad of all things! SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."

I think Vainandy mentioned that song speaking of ballads,I like their song "Betcha Didn't Know That".It's on one of their late-70s albums.It's a cover of a song that had been recorded by several other artists. | |

I would also add 'The Queen of Clubs'. And I agree that Jerome Smith's funky guitar was a vital part of their sound. I'm surprised nobody's mentioned the later pop hit 'Give It Up', a glorious slice of early '80s summer pop. It's joy personified, so I don't care if it funks or not. | |

I was going to list it but isn't that KC gone solo without The Sunshine Band? Andy is a four letter word. | |

For all you KC lovers, ya gotsta pick up this one up for dance parties.
The remixes are just enough to make the segues sound bitchin' leaving the original vibe intact. This is the only one I play anymore. | |

I don't like "Give It Up"  I don't like any of KC's 80s work. | |
