KC & The Sunshine Band - Live in Miami (1975)

KC and the Sunshine Band is an American disco and funk band, founded in 1973 in Hialeah, Florida.[1][2] Their best-known songs include the hits “That's the Way (I Like It)“, “(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty“, “I'm Your Boogie Man“, “Keep It Comin' Love“, “Get Down Tonight“, “Boogie Shoes“, “Please Don't Go“ and “Give It Up“. The band took its name from lead vocalist Harry Wayne Casey's last name (“KC“) and the “Sunshine Band“ from KC's home state of Florida, the Sunshine State. The group had six top 10 singles, five number one singles and one number two single on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The band was formed in 1973 by Harry Wayne Casey (KC), a record store employee and part-timer at TK Records in Hialeah, Florida. KC originally called the band KC & The Sunshine Junkanoo Band, as he used studio musicians from TK and a local Junkanoo band called the Miami Junkanoo Band. He was introduced to Richard Finch, who was engineering records for TK, and the Casey-Finch musical collaboration began. They were soon joined by Jerome Smith (June 18, 1953 - July 28, 2000) and drummer Robert Johnson, both TK studio musicians. The first few songs, “Blow Your Whistle“ (September 1973) and “Sound Your Funky Horn“ (February 1974), were released as singles, and did well enough on the U.S. R&B chart and overseas that TK wanted a follow-up single and album. However, while working on demos for KC & the Sunshine Band, the song “Rock Your Baby“ (George McCrae) was created, featuring Smith on guitar, and became a number one hit in 51 countries in mid-1974. The band's “Queen of Clubs“, which featured uncredited vocals by McCrae, was a hit in the UK, peaking at #7, and they went on a tour there in 1975. With the release of the self-titled second album KC and the Sunshine Band in 1975 came the group's first major U.S. hit with “Get Down Tonight“. It topped the R&B chart in April and hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in August. “That's the Way (I Like It)“ also became a number one hit. - wikipedia Shared for historical purposes.
