Free Music Notes for The Best of KC & the Sunshine Band
Free Music Review: a solid greatest hits package geared toward the casual fan
Hit: 5 Stars
KC & The Sunshine Band created some really great music during those disco days; and this CD helps to bring back many fond memories. As other reviewers have written, there are more comprehensive retrospective CDs out there; but for the casual fan like me this is really great!
The tracks are five star quality! "Get Down Tonight" sports that funky 1970s disco beat with some great sound effects; the drums, percussion and electric guitars come in to carry the bulk of the melody. The band sings to the funky melody to make this a memorable tune! "I'm Your Boogie Man" has some great percussion and H. W. "KC" Casey sings this straight out of the ballpark! Love that disco beat and the backup chorus on "I'm Your Boogie Man," too!
One of the band's greatest hits comes next, "(Shake Shake Shake) Shake Your Booty." This ode to dancing and having fun for the sake of having fun has a very catchy melody; and they don't leave any doubt that they're encouraging romantic times as well! "That's The Way (I Like It)" has a great female backup chorus; and "KC" Casey sings this to perfection. This is one song that has a rhythm and beat that you just can't fight! SMILE
"Keep It Comin' Love" starts with some really fine electric guitar; and when they start singing this number takes off like a rocket! That infectiously happy disco beat will catch you yet. "Please Don't Go" gives us a song in a whole new genre; this time the band sings a slower paced number. "KC" Casey and the backup vocalists sing so well about wanting their lover not to leave them; and the percussion enhances the natural beauty of this love ballad.
"Wrap Your Arms Around Me" certainly gets back to that disco flavored style of music; the vocalists harmonize to perfection and I love that beat!
The liner notes include some great artwork; and we get a few black and white photos of the artists, too. There's a good essay about the band as well.
Harry Wayne "KC" Casey and the Sunshine Band certainly had more than just a day or two in the sun; and we are better off for their terrific tunes. It's also good to know that we can still enjoy their music on CD today. If you're a diehard fan, I would suggest that you consider a more thorough retrospective than this particular CD gives. For the casual fan, however, this CD is absolutely awesome!
The Best of KC & the Sunshine Band Poster
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 GdulaBudget-priced 1996 compilation on EMI featuring 16 of the funky '70s disco band's best. Contains eight of their top 40hits, including all five of their #1 smashes: 'Get Down Tonight', 'That's The Way (I Like It)', '(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty', 'I'm Your Boogie Man' and 'Please Don't Go', plus the #2 'Keep It Comin' Love'.
Hialeah, Florida's Own K.c. and the Sunshine Band Are the Essence of the Disco Movement. They Enjoyed an Incredible String of Hits During the Seventies and Early Eighties. Many of them ('sound Your Funky Horn', 'that's the Way (I Like It)', 'shake Yourbooty', 'i'm Your Boogie Man', 'boogie Shoes', Etc.) Are Included on this 1996 Release. Also features 'please Don't Go', 'keep it Coming Love', 'get Down Tonight' and More.
