  • Instrumental version of the George McCrae hit. KC's first album was all instrumental. His label boss suggested McCrae record this, KC's first of many gold records. Recorded at the Miami Jai Alai Fronton in '74.

A rock solid rhythm section, horns to die for, and my first look at women in tight dresses and platforms .. what more could you ask for? the only band that has come close since was tower of power, but nothing will ever beat KC and the boys and that magical groove.

    The man knows no racial barriers. This guy, Harry Wayne Casey, was BORN to funk. And he wakes up each morning READY to funk. I'm fairly sure he never questioned or even played the race card when it came down to crafting these now timeless funk classics. Although I do have to say that next to Boz Scaggs, Daryl Hall, Robert Palmer and the baddest of them all, Rod Temperton, Harry Wayne Casey is hands down the most kick ass, whiteboy funkster in the planet!

One babe looked at me like I was an ice cream cone, and i've never forgotten her, this band, or that moment. so cool.

    In my book, the baddest white boys in R&B/Soul music are 1) Harry Wayne Casey, 2) Rod Temperton (of Heatwave and writer of Michael Jackson's best songs, and 3) Daryl Hall.
