None of today's shit music can compare to the 70's.

[ItsTiedToAStick]

Classic

[bottles0]

I was 12 years old at the time that this was on tv. I still remember watching it!

[Jany1954]

I was 21 then, got to go to clubs and DISCO - loved it and love the fond memories of it all!

[diuga1]

The cool jumpsuit KC wears in this video, makes him look like Elvis!

That´s WAY too cool!

[fuxgood]

Wonder what the trombone player got paid for blowing 4 notes and dancing?

[hipowerz]

ONLY PEOPLE THAT DIDNT LIKE DISCO ,IS THOSE THAT COULDNT DANCE ,LOL THINK ABOUT IT, ALL THE HATERS,I GOT ALOTTA ASS OFF OF THESE DANCE SONGS, HEY BABY WANNA DANCE. ITS ON ALL NIGHT.

[fp1000100]

epic disco song , incredible spirit from kc , it was a fantastic time those crazy days.

miami sound was probably the best sound in the disco era.

[Akamaru110]

Lol. This song was on DDR Max 2! :D

[Luvinthe70s]

What and amazing horn section ~~~~~pure energy~~~~~~~. I don't think there's a person in that crowd that ain't gettin' down tonight! ~Peace and God Bless~.

[micpar2]

Jim Carrey & the Sunshine Band! LOL

[micpar2]

KC needs to either get this band back together. Or get a new band exactly like the original cut a new album/cd. Then do the Super Bowl half time show!

[myroseaccount]

You had to try to not to score at these gigs back in the70s

[2012fairies]

I think the one guy is doing the shuffle!

[EcstaticFeel]

He looks like Jim Carrey!

[617monk]

love this

[SkidRowJosephine]

KC when he started out damn near only hired coloreds.

No other way to get the groove on! Rock it Daddy!

[p1000SWR]

[xzmn61]

Memories. Good Ones.

[harpye312]

[kim123792]

[5337kees]

Does anyone think the tempo is faster than normal? Think they were all on coke?

[barneyronnie]

@5337kees Yes!!

[sixxkitten1969]

@5337kees that made me laugh cause i think he was a big coke head

[passion4posh]

he made more money than anyone else in the 70's.

[wabankik]

One of The Greatest, I love There is so much Ethnicity in this band, But How is it the White Guy is on Bass?!?

[BMoreino]

KC is such a cutie and so talented.

[Pam63videos]

great stuff

[ILGustavo]

Badder than P-funk, right here.

[TheMystercee]

Cocaine is a Hell of a Drug...

[fredonsea]

@TheMystercee Beer too !

[johnnydenali99]

@TheMystercee It'll get yo couch fucked up too...

[Namnarooni]

Poor KC got shot down by the anti-disco movement but this was real cats with real instruments making real music

[JURYJOHMZOMBIE]

@1969captainron isnt he gay ?



[1brewtus1]

test

[majimee324]

coolest . song . ever

[savagehenryification]

god if i had time travel, the miami jai alai fronton where this was recorded would be my first stop. damn!

[flyingrv6]

I wish I was in the Sunshine Band so I could have an excuse to dress like a Pimp Mac Daddy everyday!!!!

[greywolfone1]

Now That's Entertainment!!!

[Pam63videos]

epic. love it. Thank you for this!

[Pivosquash]

Thumb up if your religion is Discomusic 70's

[Namnarooni]

@Pivosquash - Disco sucked - this was real music with real instruments

[Pivosquash]

@Namnarooni This is Discomusic 70's ignorant!

[diuga1]

@Pivosquash Count me in!

[MrFrankutube]

@1969captainron Ok if KC had black women back then thats only because he was in the closet. I dont think he had women. Its a know fact he is gay.

[hork111]

@1969captainron More black women than most white guys? Hell, he had more black women than most BLACK guys ever had, can I get a witness?

[Doveman21]

@hork111 that makes much more sense my brotha...

[54analsex]

Where are the KC and the Sunshine bands of today?...Luv this stuff.All the music of the 70"s is from a time when people were reaching out for one another.You could go out on a Friday night and see couples openly making out and showing affection for each other;...Which is exactly how it's supposed to be.

[acagribilir1]

amazing song :)

[mrspic]

free show with these guys aug 20 at the hatch shell boston

[guydreamr]

That is a terrific performance, matching black platform shoes with silver trim and all :)

[sunnybabydoll90]

3 people have no funk and no musicality. if ever I'm sad or angry, stressed etc anything KC & The Sunshine Band really does put a ray of sunshine into my day and a smile across my face - not to mention it makes me wanna boogie & get down!! woooooo

[Rescue162]

The best integrated pop band in American history. In their heyday, the "golden age of pop music" (1965-1985), KC and the Sunshine Band was second to none.

[savagehenryification]

anyone know where this was recorded, or where i could get a high quality copy of this rendition? so so good.

[CoolasIce2]

If you look carefully, you can see Huggie Bear wearing a turban and playing a trumpet. Give me a, "What you talkin' 'bout Willis?" if you spot the son of a gun.

[MrCagivaman]

@JBJ3327 So fucking what !!!! The music is what the video is about

[dreadtodred]

Kc,s Magic was finding all those great muscians

[frogca]

I don't care what anybody thinks, KC was funky as they get. I would put his horn section up against any funk band and they would take their heads.

[auddenise]

@frogca I agree... totally....

[vbencic100]

@frogca

[vbencic100]

@vbencic100  KC AND THE SUNSHINE BAND ROCK!!!

[stilltokin420]

what a great band.

[SpamZoid]

Bikini Atoll and Enewetak Atoll.

[aknowneemus]

yea, cocaine gave you the energy to rehearse,do a show,stay up late have sex and then wake up the next day and do it again on 2 or 3 hours sleep. Until about 6 months later when it starts to have the reverse effect on you. You can't remember shit, nobody wants to be around you,people are robbing you left and right,sex aint fun and then the hits stop coming and the record company says Adios.

[colonquesidilla]

KC is as queer as a 3 dollar bill. Still love the music though.

[TheCactusFlower57]

@1969captainron YES I AGREE..LOL

[blueberries4ever]

Bring the horn section on down and I will take them all on...(wink)

[MrKirkenstein]

"cocaine's one helluva drug..."

[zamak101]

Excelente!! la coreografia de los musicos es espectcular!!

[jokebooks]

KC is funky.

[WJobsessed]

I still love this.

[zamak101]

Extraordinaria banda de Miami...realmente la rompio en los años setenta!!!!

[AstralPixie]

WOW the horn section... awesome, pure and JOYOUS. Fun show..

and great video.

[yucchhiiowwee]

@AstralPixie KC is still out there kickin today. Though HE is the ONLY original member, he still does the same thing as to having a mix of colors as does the band War. They are still out there too, the lead singer/keyboard player is the only origianal member. Both bands still kick butt!!

[gigqueen1]

@1969captainron, In theory it looks like a white band leader of a predominately black band (in the 70s) would get a lot of black (tail) I thought the same think too until I heard that KC's good friend "Richard Finch" (who played bass with KC and is the co founder of the band) likes to have sex with under aged boys. I think him and KC might like the black GUYS more than the black ladies, you never know...

[hork111]

@gigqueen1 Everybody calls this disco, but to me this is pure hard core funk. They slapped a disco tag on it because the band had a white face and it could get airplay. This works both ways, George Benson, a jazz artist, got major radio play. Jimmy Bo Horne had the same sound as KC (he was produced by KC) yet he got NO popular airplay.

[piedrada]

@hork111 It is FUNK! Great call!

[Jany1954]

This group had a lot of great songs!!! YEPPERS!

[oybeutu]

That is the ultimate v-cut.

[jcjlf]

These horns are absolutely f***ing awesome! Never heard better.

[asd36f]

Some serious moves at 1:23-1:32

[ArmoredSaint63]

@asd36f seriously

[EarleYetter]

@1969captainron Sweet brown sugar!

[EarleYetter]

Love the choreography in the horn section!

[bockybalboa]

 I do the same dance as the Trumpet player whenever I'm beaked..

[tccompaq]

Man I wonder how much Coke was floating around on that stage ...and I don't mean the drink dig it

[bockybalboa]

@tccompaq Backstage, in the bathrooms, and in between every set of tits in that joint, at least a ton..

[childfreeman]

@1969captainron

right on :)

[AquaHarmony]

Dig that CAPE!!! LMAO!!!!!!!!!!! 

[c15art]

Now that´s a performance

[ArdineZakaria48]

Dowwnload the audio from this track at tubepull doht cohm.

[jimmypage444]

@1969captainron not that here is anything wrong with it (Seinfeld!) but KC didn't like the black ladies, or any ladies for that matter...KC likes young boys, just like his former bassist Richard Finch.....who got caught with a teen and is doing 7 years in the pen now

[AYECHISME]

jim c arrey could play KC in a movie!!!

[AYECHISME]

LOOK HOW THE wHITE FOLKS DANCE!! HAHA!!

[frogca]

Hell I'm Black and I've argued with my friends for years. Say what you want, KC had the baddest funk band in the land in the 70s. They could give EWF. Ohio Players, and the Isleys a run for their money on any night.

[StangoDango]

@frogca You are right about KC and folks need to give him credit for his music. When you think of 70s dance music his songs are the ones that come to mind. I miss those crazy outfits that were worn back then. I love coming on YT and looking at videos of all the old funk bands. lol madness but great fun. lol

[PULSEJETVALVE]

ITS NO WAY INSTED OF NOW WAY

[PULSEJETVALVE]

WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME OUT OF SEVENTIES EVER! NOW WAY MAY BE GO BACK TO LATE SIXTIES!!!

[007gewa]

What a energy and funky horns. K.C. and his band are the top of dance music. This music makes me happy and takes me back to the seventies my youth. Great live performance thanks for posting.

[rufus317]

@1969captainron Actually HW Casey is openly gay but he did have lots of soul back in the day

[rufus317]

Actually HW Casey is openly gay but he did have lots of soul back in the day

[Entertainmentwriter]

Just love it even after all this time. In some ways it reminds me of Music Lover by Sly and the Family Stone off the Woodstock soundtrack. If you have never heard it, you must.

[babajohn0]

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOT!!!!

[yonkiss2000]
