We haven't done it in a while so it's kind of full circle. I don't know what this attachment is or what this phobia is with people with disco. Do you feel that vindication as well? After listening to KC and the Sunshine Band’s records all morning, I can safely conclude that all their music sounds the same: Excellent! Just growing up listening to the radio stations and how much interaction the DJs had, not only in my life but everybody's life growing up because they sometimes became the key people who we listened to every day and every night, they're always there. We've done shows with them since then. I write about music and the business of music. Casey: The crazy thing is I'm always kind of writing. The group had six top 10 singles, five number one singles and a number two single on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. They'd want to have fun and it was just one of those songs that said get up off your ass and shake your booty, realize you're as good as anybody else in that room or in your life. The new band has released a large number of compilation albums through Rhino Records, along with some newly recorded material. So they were songs about love or being in love or wanting to be in love. Baltin: After the incredible commercial success you had in the '70s, did you need to take a step back to enjoy and appreciate making music again? It kind of just kept sitting around and sitting around. Looking at the run of success and number of hits, one could argue that outside of the Bee Gees and the queen of disco, Donna Summer, KC And The Sunshine Band were the most successful band of the disco era. So it was exciting. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2010/mar/26/kc-sunshine-band [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".
So I'm just getting into all this stuff. And I feel comfortable with it. You may opt-out by. There's no pressure to do it. Now I've written two more songs and I just keep writing. I was thinking about the DJs being the key point of that.
It's kind of my first collaboration with another artist. They were soon joined by guitarist Jerome Smith (June 18, 1953 – July 28, 2000) and drummer Robert Johnson, both TK studio musicians. So it was off that experience I created that lyric. This is just a selective date, I think we're talking about doing more with them. But physically going into the studio and actually putting things down that lasted from 1984 all the way up to 2013.
I just considered them the boogie man, "I'm your boogie man, that's what I am/I'm here to do whatever I can/Be it early morning, late afternoon or midnight/It's never too soon."
But people are still coming out and having a great time every time they come to one of the shows. When not writing about music I am hanging with my dog, playing basketball and eating sushi in sunny Southern California. Casey: My friend Tony Moran is a very famous DJ, he's known all over the world. Having been synonymous with disco has had its drawbacks though, as KC (real name Harry Wayne Casey) talks about in this utterly fascinating conversation we have over the phone while he is in Miami.

"Shake Your Booty" was a song about not rebellion, but I'd do shows and see people just sitting there. If I sell records I do. I'm gonna make this music and put it out and if the new generation of fans love it that will be great. A revival of interest in disco music in 1991 brought Casey out of retirement. Baltin: What made you decide it was time to make music again? I've known Nile for a long time though, so it's great to do stuff with your contemporaries. I'm not sure why I never did it. These albums generated little success, but in 1982, a hit track called "Give It Up" from the album All in a Night's Work (1982) brought a return to success in the UK, and appeared two years later in the U.S. Top 40. Even in my notes now on my iPhone or recorded snippets of ideas that pop into my head. Harry Wayne Casey: Oh yeah, as a matter of fact, almost 40 something years now the first act I ever opened up for when we first became popular was War in Pittsburgh. He sent me another one and everything flowed again. So it was almost one of those moments where it was like, "Wow, this is what I do and I should just give it a shot.". Casey: There's still a negative attachment to it for some reason, which I don't understand. Baltin: Because you took such a break did it make you more excited to do the old hits again? [1] Another hit, "Keep It Comin' Love", peaked at number two. 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.

[+] Sports Legends Dinner, which raised millions of dollars for the Buoniconti Fund to Cure Paralysis at The New York Hilton Midtown on September 24, 2018 in New York City. I have millions of pieces of paper and napkins and match books and all this stuff with little things on them.
My new single, it's my seventh record in a row on the Billboard Dance Charts. Then coming to accept it and embrace it. It topped the R&B chart in April and hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in August. Reply Notify me Helpful Lavenderbyrd November 26, 2016 Report; Not sure why they never list the 1983 "KC - KC TEN" album, but it is on cd and has been available at heykcsb.com for $10 for quite awhile. So I just got on this roll and kept getting more tracks and more things and then band members gave me some tracks. Baltin: How long did your self-described musical coma last? "That's the Way (I Like It)" also became a number one hit[1] in November 1975 and the group did well at the 1976 Grammy Awards. The album Oh Yeah! Casey: After 10 years it just felt I had used every word there was, I'd used every chord there was. Baltin: I spoke to Donna Summer before she passed. "I'm Your Boogie Man" was written because I would fill in for my friend who was a DJ. It's just something I've been exploring more lately.
So it was very interesting, the stigma that was attached to it. The song was also featured on the band's next album, 1984's KC Ten. was released in 1993 after a ten-year gap between new albums (excluding compilations). © 2020 Forbes Media LLC. I didn't do anything with it. He hooked me up with him in March of 2012, he was here for the Winter Music Conference, and we got to talking.

It's like, "This is what I'm known for, this is what I do." Casey: My manager at the time, Billy Sammeth, hooked me up with a DJ by the name of Lee Dagger in England and Lee sent me this track. KC and the Sunshine Band is an American disco and funk band which was founded in 1973 in Hialeah, Florida. Epic Records, however, refused to issue the song as a single due to its prior failure in the U.S. Because of this, a frustrated Casey formed Meca Records, releasing the single himself on this label in a final attempt to garner the song some success in America. Because here I was kind of moving along and then all of a sudden the creative flow, the same flow that I remember having when I was younger, happened again. I've never really collaborated with too many other artists. 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. So I'm thinking of pulling in some other artists or other people to come and do some guest spots. B. Oliver C. Brown; C. Harry Wayne Casey; F. Fermin Goytisolo; Richard Finch (musician) S.
