LOS ANGELES (KC &
Sunshine Band Official Website) - KC & The
Sunshine Band are still as widely poplar today as they were when they first danced into the music scene 30 years ago. The band developed a unique fusion of R&B and funk with a hint of Latin percussion groove that made them unique in sound and in performance. Throughout the years they have given us an impressive string of hits including "Get Down Tonight," "That's The Way (I Like It)" and "Shake Your Booty" amongst others. With sales of over 100 million records, nine Grammy nominations, three Grammy Awards and an American
Music Award, KC and the
Sunshine Band have been credited with changing the sound of modern pop music.
KC & The
Sunshine Band originated in 1973 when their first record, "Blow Your Whistle," made the top 15 on the R&B charts. Their second album, KC & The
Sunshine Band (released in 1975), went triple platinum and contained the #1 hits "Get Down Tonight," "That's The Way (I Like It)," "Boogie Shoes" and "Rock Your Baby." The third album, entitled Part 3 (released in 1976), also went triple platinum and contained the #1 singles "I'm Your
Boogie Man," "Shake Your Booty" and "Keep It Comin' Love." The band's string of hit singles continued with "Please Don't Go," "Yes, I'm Ready" (recorded with high school friend Teri DeSario), and "Boogie Shoes," which was included on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. KC returned to the pop charts in 1983 with the song "Give It Up," which hit #1 in the U.K. and was in the Top 20 in the U.S.
