People love to make fun of this music, but you have to admit it's catchy. It's just fun, feel good music. Not a lyrical masterpiece, but great to dance to.
I would classify myself as a rocker, but I was a kid in the 70s and remember many of the Disco hits, I never thought Disco was all that different from most other pop music, it's just really fun dance music, I think most of it was great.
Nobody makes fun of this…. They’re a great band and they had 5 #1 Hits and a #2 Hit in America. That’s hard to beat in the 1970s. KC & the sunshine band sold 100 MILLION RECORDS.
KC is still making people dance. I got see him a few weeks ago. He also survived a bad car accident that left him partially paralyzed. He had to learn to walk and talk again.
Yes yes boogie down Angela😊 I would give this a four also because I would reserve "I'm Your Boogie Man" or "(Shake Shake Shake) Shake Your Booty" both by KC and the Sunshine band as a number five😊👍 Great great reaction and we all love your boogie in your chair😊👍 bye for now 😊👍
Saw them at a free concert in Eisenhower Park on Long Island a bunch of years back in the summer at CBS F.M concert series and they had to close the park as it couldn't handle all the people wanting to see them play ❤🔥💯🎶 Set all time attendance record too...and this was in 2014!!! #thatsthewayuhhuhuhhuhilikeit!!!
Beautiful Angela, this is a great group. They had a bunch of good songs. Henry Casey from Miami, Florida. The trombone player was a judge for my sons' band competition when they were in high school.
I saw KC a few years ago in Vail, CO. Free concert. Thousands of people showed up and the dude ROCKED!!! The best part? Seeing literally thousands of 70 years olds absolutely shaking their feathers! Not just moving. Throwing down! I was impressed!
Awesome review looking forward to the next 2 weeks of music I grew up with! Graduated High School in '75 so this music brings back my life's best memories. The original KC & the Sunshine Band in this clip is the best version of the band that still performs today!
“Shake Your Booty”, “Get Down Tonight”, “I’m Your Boogie Man” are my faves. For some reason I can recall a 1976 Summer Saturday evening where I watched the Summer Olympics, HeeHaw and then KC&TSSB on either a rerun of the “Dolly” or “Midnight Special” show. A little Romanian gymnast named Nadia that kept posting perfect 10’s must have caught my 15 year old eyes.
Boy does this take me back!! So many great memories of dancing to these songs in the clubs!! Check out other great songs by KC and the Sunshine Band, '"Boogie Shoes", Shake Your Booty" and Keep it Coming Love."
These horns are kicking it.. as a trumpet player myself..we used to rock the heck out of this song back in high school. Band class..students came out of classrooms and started dancing in the hallways..1/2 teachers yelling at us to get back in class.. the younger teachers were jamming with us..oh the memories..
This is just the TIP of the 70s Disco/Dance Music Rabbit Hole. Don't know how DEEP you wanna go. 😂🤣 I'm an Old School Chitown Deep Househead and we don't PLAY when it comes down to some Deep Disco. 😂
I saw them live as a teen. They had the crowd form a circle around them and sit down to watch and then they really brang it. I got to be in the first row. They were so powerful in person, extremely talented and fun to watch. I hear they still perform too. They were also very humble and had a great sense of humor and talked to us throughout the whole concert 💃🕺.
KC & The Sunshine Band were incredibly popular and really were a cross-over between pop & disco music. At the time many people absolutely HATED disco music but KC & The Sunshine Band received lots of airplay on radio stations that played very little disco. It was the kind of music almost everyone secretly enjoyed but would never admit.
Growing up in this era I got grief from the Heads from liking it. Girls love to dance, and the more fun they have dancing the better life is. I had the pleasure of learning to square dance in gym (mandatory) but a friend hid a boom box under the bleachers with KC and the Sunshine Band Cassette queued up with this song. He hit the play button at the end of a dance and he and I danced with the girls in our group the 2 "Heads" (potheads) just stood there while we danced and the teacher yelling "Shut that thing off!" Sorry, just a memory now. Great song and reaction.
The best of the 1970's era disco bands. Their songs are always catchy and danceable. Another suggestion by KC and the Sunshine Band: 'Keep It Comin' Love.'
Love this one with the Horns and the 'Uh-Huh', a good one to boogie to. I would also give it 4 for boogie , got you moving Angela. 'Shake your Booty' which was suggested is another good one-Colin Ward
I think you're confusing KC & The Sunshine Band with Kool & The Gang, when you said Get down boogie. Kool & The Gang sing Get down on it & Jungle boogie. KC & The Sunshine Band sing Get down tonight, I'm your boogie man & boogie shoes
Now this got you dancing in your seat, but this was a staple song for a couple of months straight on American Bandstand. And I was just a young kid when this came out, but I remember seeing men and women roller dancing in parks with music blasting from boom boxes with this on. It was a great time for music because there was no sampling or auto tune, but real talent. BTW, you look like you would have fit in with your moves, Angela.
Love it I was 23 when that came out grooving in the Disco. I’m in my 70’s now and still love it. I believe the acronym of KC was for his sister Karen Carpenter who died.
I remember on my first deployment to Iraq ( late 2004 and all of 2005 ) when we'd drive to the nearest town for health and welfare ( our medics would treat the sick and the elderly,give out blankets,soccer balls and MREs ) we'd play Ice Ice Baby and some songs by KC & the Sunshine band. Also-HARD-rock ( we'd play this during prayer time to tick them off-LOL ) Michael Jackson and lots of 90s rap music,the young teens and kids loved the rap songs. Anything with KC & the Sunshine ( also Ice Ice Baby ) and you'd see toes tapping and heads bobbing from everyone in the crowd-EVERYONE. LOL. Playing enjoyable music made people more agreeable,put folks in a much better mood and no one was angry.
