| Audio CD Description KC and the Sunshine Band, led by Harry Wayne Casey, brought a bit of male bravado to the predominantly diva-led disco scene. KC and company incorporated a Caribbean feel to their music, with swelling--and staccato--horn parts and multilayered vocals. The repetition of the choruses of "Shake Your Booty" and "That's the Way (I Like It)" had every gold-chain wearing male on the dance floor singing along. While these hits, and "Get Down Tonight," are now disco cultural reference points, "Sound Your Funky Horn," a minor hit earlier in the band's career, has more of an island feel to it. The Best of KC and the Sunshine Band provides a fairly broad sampling of the Sunshine Band's music, including "Keep It Comin' Love," "I'm Your Boogie Man," and the tropical funk of "Boogie Shoes." --Steve Gdula |
| Comments From Our Customers
Full length version of KC's greatest songs are missing Full length versions of Get down tonight and That's the way I like it are not in, so I only gave 3 stars to this CD. The full length version of these two songs can be found in the CD "KC & the Sunshine Band and more" (Rhino) and "KC & the Sunshine Band Greatest Hits" (BR Music of Sweden). Furthermore, "I'm your boogie man" and "Keep it coming love" are linked together in "Part 3 and more" CD (Rhino), thus make this "Best of" CD less attractive. Other than the above, KCSB's music is immortal dance music, let's compare KCSB music to the recent dance music, 27 years from 1974, KCSB's music is still popular, I can say that no one will recall what kind of dance music is popular in 2002.
Do A Little Dance! This excellent Rhino compilation does this group proud, long after the Disco Era crashed and burned. The classics are all here: "Get Down Tonight," "That's The Way I Like It," "Shake, Shake, Shake," "I'm Your Boogie Man," and more. It's mostly a non-stop dance party, but the #1 hit "Please Don't Go" is a nice respite from the frenzy. The final track, "All I Want," was recorded in the group's death throes and was a failed hit, although it has an interesting synthesized sound. KC's 1983 comeback hit "Give It Up" is also here, and it's welcomed. Great liner notes and photography--which is the case with nearly all Rhino releases--and a well-chosen look at a real bright spot from the disco years.
Just excellent!!!! KC and The Sunshine Band are represented very well, here. All of the songs are terrific and Rhino does their usual fine job of compiling a hit package. I think KC and The Sunshine Band are underrated and they were an important part of the disco/funk evolution. They are without a doubt, one of the funkiest disco bands, ever. This is highly recommended to anyone who likes good disco, with a funky flavor and R & B. I love it!!! |
