3.0 out of 5 starsNot quite the best compilation by an underrated band...
By L.A. Scene on April 28, 2005
Format: Audio CD
Ok, when some folks who know me see that I have a review up on KC and the Sunshine Band, they probably would say "you have got to be kidding me??!!". However I think it's that kind of reaction that has actually become sort of an unfair rap for KC and the Sunshine Band. This is a band that really emerged in the 1970s. While many consider KC and the Sunshine Band a part of the Disco era, they really were one of the bands that came up on the early end of the Disco era (I consider the early era to be Pre-Saturday Night Fever). I do think it is unfair that they are lumped with the artists of the Disco era. When KC and the Sunshine Band began to gain popularity in the 1970s, they did it with a very unique style. This style is a fusion of many different genres of music. However, whether you like them or not, one cannot deny they were a major part of the 1970s music scene. "The Best of KC and the Sunshine Band" provides a single collection of 16 of the band's hits from 1973 through the early 1980s. However it is worth noting that this isn't the best compilation by this band that is out there.

There were two things that set KC and the Sunshine Band apart from the other bands of the Disco era. It are these two things that really helped them having the staying power for over 30 years. The first are the elements of the band themselves. While lead singer Harry Wayne Casey (better known as "KC") didn't have the greatest lead vocals - he did have the vocals that worked perfectly in his band. This band was made up of a potpourri of instruments: guitar, drums, bass, keyboards, percussion, trumpets, trombones, and saxophones. In particular, I think it is the use of the Brass Section and Percussion that gave KC and the Sunshine Band their sound.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsUn-huh Un-huh! I Like It Un-huh un-huh!
By A Customer on March 23, 2001
Format: Audio CD
Put the CD on, and you'll find your toe tapping in seconds. After listening to this CD for about two weeks, I have to say that Harry Wayne Casey and Richard Finch are geniuses. If you want songs about politics, religion, or so on, this isn't your music. If you want fun music, and well-written, well-arranged, and unbelievably catchy music, this is for you. Every one of these tracks is a real prize. I was just a little kid when this came out, and today find this music amazingly sophisticated. Lots of poliphony, a very astute understanding of the power of rhythm. But since we're led to believe by the musical snobs that music has to be about something "important" to be important, most people probably brushed off KC and the Sunshine Band long, long ago. Take a second listen today. As you find yourself shaking your bootie or putting on your boogie shoes, you'll be ready to give it up! This music is something. And you'll probably find your eyes watering up when you listen to "Please Don't Go." In all, this album shows that people knew what they were doing when they were buying these songs on 45s 25 years ago.

3.0 out of 5 starsFull length version of KC's greatest songs are missing
By Long Distance Voyager on July 24, 2002
Format: Audio CD
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 now be found in the two CDs compilation "TK Years - KC & the Sunshine Band"(Imported) released in 2009, which included the 5 albums released between 1974 and 1979.
Furthermore, "I'm your boogie man" and "Keep it coming love" are linked together in "Part 3" album, 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, 35 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 2009.

4.0 out of 5 starsI like it
By Johnny Heering on March 21, 2004
Format: Audio CD
KC and the Sunshine Band were the most successful disco group of the 1970s. They produced a lot of fun records. The songs didn't have any serious messages, but they had a lot of charm. This is just good time, get up, shake your booty and dance music. This CD contains all their big hits and some songs that weren't big hits, but should have been. I would recommend this CD to anybody who is a fan of disco.

5.0 out of 5 starsLightweight funky seventies soul music
By Peter Durward Harris HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWER on March 14, 2005
Format: Audio CD
KC and the Sunshine Band are remembered for their very catchy songs that appealed equally to radio stations, record buyers and disco dancers. They were extremely popular in America, where they had four number one hits in the seventies. In Britain, they had just three top ten hits in the seventies but they eventually had a British number one (Give it up - not included here) on a different record label in the eighties.

Their first major hit, Queen of clubs, made the top ten on both sides of the Atlantic. After another transatlantic hit, Sound your funky horn, they had three consecutive number one hits in America (Get down tonight, That's the way I like it, Shake your booty) but two of these just missed the UK top twenty while That's the way I like it made the UK top five. More hits followed including I'm your boogie man (their fourth American number one but only a minor UK hit).

KC and the Sunshine Band surprised everybody by releasing a ballad in 1979, Please don't go. It made the top ten on both sides of the Atlantic. It was their first UK top three hit. Not long after that, their record label collapsed and their subsequent music is outside the scope of this compilation.

This contains all the significant tracks that the group recorded in the seventies. If you enjoy seventies disco music, you'll love this collection.
