  • Released in 1975 as a single, "That's the Way (I Like It)" achieved significant commercial success. It reached the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States and also became a chart-topper in several other countries. Its popularity was not limited to the United States; the song became an international hit and a staple in discotheques worldwide. The song is characterized by its infectious disco groove, featuring a driving beat with a prominent bassline, funky guitar riffs, and vibrant horns. The rhythm is designed to get people on the dance floor, and the overall sound reflects the upbeat and celebratory vibe of disco music in the 1970s.
    The song is considered one of the quintessential disco tracks, and its success contributed to the rise of KC and the Sunshine Band as a prominent disco act. "That's the Way (I Like It)" remains a symbol of the disco era and is often featured in retrospectives and compilations of 1970s music.
    The lyrics of "That's the Way (I Like It)" are simple and repetitive, contributing to the song's accessibility and danceability. The central theme revolves around expressing satisfaction with a romantic relationship. The singer repeatedly affirms that the way things are in the relationship is exactly how they like it. The straightforward and affirmative nature of the lyrics made the song easy for audiences to sing along to and remember.

      “Get Down Tonight” was their first #1 hit earlier in 1975.

    The guys who put the band together were Harry Wayne Casey and Rick Finch. Rick Finch was a bassist/sound engineer who worked for TK Records, a Florida-based record label. KC worked there part time and that’s how they met. They added some musicians and the band was formed. Casey and Finch were the songwriters, and actually wrote songs that were hits for other artists. They wrote the song “Rock Your Baby” by George McCrae, which was one of the huge hits of early disco. The song “I Get Lifted” was originally on a KC & The Sunshine Band album, but McCrae covered that and it’s been sampled plenty of times. They also wrote a lot of things for Jimmy ‘Bo’ Horne. In the 70s they were killing it, but once disco faded their popularity waned. But they do have a lot of really good songs, and they were far more than just a run of the mill disco band.

    @GodLovesComics 8 місяців тому +53

    This song is like a perfect amalgamation of soul, disco, and pop. The horns are killer, and somehow the vocals fit in so perfectly that if this came out now you might think AI constructed it. Absolutely made for radio, back when radio still mattered.

    The line "that's the way, uh huh uh huh, I like it" became a thing when this came out. People were saying it everywhere, it was used as a joke punchline all the time, it was huge.
    Same with Shake your booty, Get down tonight and I'm your boogie man.
    They were massive in the 70's.

    Listen, I’m from Miami and I grew up during this time KC was everything in Miami back in the day! So of course, I listened to his music all the time growing up my mother was crazy about him, and I freaking love him. By the way, this entire band is nothing short of spectacular, but let’s talk about the horns. These guys in my opinion make the band.

    Casey = KC. A janitor at the studio. George McCrae was there to record Rock Your Baby. The manager was mad because the keyboard player didn't show. George said Casey can play it. That's him on George's hit song. That manager went to see Casey's band. The rest is history.

    KC and the Sunshine Band were such a fun group-as fun to watch as to listen to, because they obviously enjoyed what they were doing. Lyrically simple so anyone could sing along while dancing their asses off. And it still gets people moving. An integrated band, a layered sound & cool costumes....some of the best disco out there. Love 'em.

    I remember watching "The Jeffersons" when Florence was vacuuming with headphones on, singing...."that's the way I like it..aha, aha."
    When George gave her a few quick knocks on the head which disengaged her headphones. She said, "Why, Mr. Jefferson would you want to do a thing like that???" George: "because/THAT'S the way I like it!"

  • @msmuse7483
    @msmuse7483 3 місяці тому

    The hairstyle was called an Afro. Men and women both wore them and many Black performers began to popularize them in the 70's. Some of those Afros were huge! Typically it was a wig (highly stylized) usually worn over a nylon skull cap (actual cut up panty hose were often used!) Different sized wigs were worn depending on preference.They were attached with plenty of bobby pins to the nylon skull cap. Even off stage, everywhere in public the guys wore such wigs. Along with bell bottom pants and wide lapels it made for quite the fashion statement for men. KC started in N. Miami and performed at both the Swinger Lounge at the Marco Polo hotel and the Castaways Wreck Bar - both extremely popular and influential arenas for musical talent in N. Miami Beach. This small area of the N. Miami Beach strip where these nightclubs operated had a huge impact in the 70's and 80's (although its heydey was really the 70's) and was a powerful draw for all the best performers of the era especially soul and disco music. (It later saw Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine skyrocket in the 80's.) It was a very unique period of the ongoing cultural revolution which was convulsing societal norms. Anyway, whenever KC appeared it was a guarantee sellout. Those boys were the epitome of disco along with the Commodores. Check out "Brick House" and other songs by the Commodores which along with KC's hits helped define the disco era.
