KC and the Sunshine Band KC and the Sunshine Band: AS 40 Series

KC and the Sunshine Band's 1975 Self-Titled Album Reissued for the AS 40 Series on 180g 45RPM 2LP: Mastered from the Original Master Tape and Pressed at QRP

KC and the Sunshine Band got their start in Hialeah, Florida in 1973, starting out as KC and the Sunshine Junkanoo Band before dropping one of the words in their name, possibly to avoid spending the rest of their career being asked, "What's a Junkanoo?" It was the 1975 release of "Get Down Tonight" from their self-titled album that sent KC and the Sunshine Band into the stratosphere.

It wasn't the only future No. 1 hit to be included in the track listing: also in the mix was "That's the Way (I Like It)." So, for that matter, was the soon-to-be Top-40 hit "Boogie Shoes." Between those three tracks, it became virtually impossible to escape KC and the Sunshine Band during 1975... and that's the way Harry Casey liked it.
