- 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.
This is too much fun. KC and the Sunshine Band played at my high school grad night. Who that all these [ahem] years later I'd be watching them on my computer? Get down tonight!
STILL watching KC in 2024 - he's 73 years old now, and STILL making music!!!
Too cool
It is a shame that the legendary 70's cannot be repeated, thank God we have youtube and the great memories made during the greatest era in modern music!!
That's right dude!!!you think in the same direction as me!!!
Yep thnx to direction you tube for show us the good old times and thnx to you for The like thank you sir!!!
You aren't kidding. Glad I grew up in the 70s.
Essa foi um show !! Adoro v esse vídeo...tocava muito
This brings me momentary peace in an otherwise insane world.
Harry was only 23 here!! He's now 73 and still making music!!!
I've seen a video of him doing this one! He's still got it
@@emilywickler8871: Yes, he can still move around on-stage pretty good for an 'old guy'!! 😉 To stand up for 2 HOURS (or close to it!) is amazing - he must have great knees!! 😀
Look at my Daddy playing that SAX rip daddy
@@zephaniahdixon1290: Awww, my sincere condolences on the loss of your dear Dad. You must be SO proud of him!!! We all LOVED his music!!!
Fantastic assemblage of musicians presaging the monster era of KC. He was unstoppable!
I was lucky to see these guys live in the mid 70's at a very young age ( snuck in ). Easily one of the best live bands I have ever seen. Tight as hell, funky, entertaining, talented, and wahtever else i can think of. Musicians loved this band in th same way they liked tower of power.
God Bless KC. He has brought such joy through music to so many lives.
I see there are 23 brainless wonders who think otherwise.
bad assed video, thanks!
Disco4ever LOVES this song!
Unbelievable joy.
What a great tune... Its wicked to see the original songwriter (KC) doing a brill version with the Sunshine Band!
Thanks chuckwagon,you're absolutely right. Fermin Goytisolo is the only remaining original. I was the last original vocalist to leave in 1999. The band continues to tour worldwide.
It's so much fun to see the musicians enjoying themselves!!! What a blast from the past.............
Everyone should have this much fun at work. Too cool.
This is the baddest band ever.
Play that funky music!!!
I love how they're all getting down while they play
KC knows how to make you dance
Fantastic!!!! even do I am not from USA I really love and appreciate this kind of music.......Besides he looks so happy and a nice human being Just like the L A POLICE or the mexican police too.
Fantastic Disco Band is K.C. Always Smiling they do not nowadays! old music makes me smile today`s music makes me say "Oh God, not more rubbish!"
my goodness i'm 21 and like this music like i danced on it 20 years ago. Do i have a problem..?
Great Bassline!! Richard Finch
This video certainly brings back disco era memories.
This performance is a masterpiece. I used to think KCSB did simple, fun disco music, but this taught me how wrong I was.
They were
I'll say it again. seeing these dudes in 74/75 when I was snuck into a venue by friend, completely rocked my world. 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.
Will never stop , thanks. You crazxy , ROCKERS❤
I went with them to their American Bandstand performance.I still have pictures from the trip
It's so great to watch a bunch of guys who just love what they're doing.
Talk about a performance these guys could throw down hard live Miami's finest
It's so cool to see a band with brass, wish we had more like this today.
The True Loves?
Chicago..
This oldies will never fade away
wow i didnt know kc wrote that for george but listening to the music i can see it, love it
I will give KC props for writing the song, but George McCrae OWNS this. Amazing song.
I didn’t know that KC wrote this great song for George McCrae.
Yesssss❤
He's an authentic genius.
this song inspired the music group abba to compose the composition dancing queen and also the composition more more more how do you like it by the andrea true connection as well ....
Best instrumental version of this song. Genius
OH YES!!! I AM THERE WITH YOU 💯 %
How many are there?.....😂
you cant fail to dislike this....so much energy and enjoyment
Please invent the time machine so we can all go back to those years when "having fun" had a true meaning !
I had no idea they wrote that song for him. Badass sing
The lovely days of my early childhood, boy do I miss them!
dammit these were the good ole days not the crap that you hear now
Love the song, never knew KC wrote it for George McRae
The trombone player totally kills it! I've been trying to figure out what happened to him. Too bad he's not with KC now!
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!
yeah, you are right man, and now we can see how good and positive things we could do breaking race barriers
The 1970s were so damn cool. From 1970 - 1979. The music, the clothes, the cars, etc. look at KC & his band. Those moves. I have this concert on DVD. If only the quality & camera angles were better. I wish there were more.
Yeah so is Anthony kiedis from the Red Hot Chili peppers not too shabby
@@abelmontalvo4052man that band is white boy funk posturing in the worst way
My uncle, Clay Cropper produced this track at TK records in miami, along with other artists such as bobby caldwell, who my uncle wrote the opening line in "what you wont do for love" he also produced and played guitar and B3 with betty wright.
A man who for some reason turned his back on the industry?
I see my brothers up there funkin, however, lets not forget the hardest funkster up there, KC, and lets not forget his bass player, DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LIVE MUSIC, we miss you 70"s music
these is one of the songs that inspired the iconic swedish quartet ABBA to recording their biggest worldwide hit, the iconic "Dancing Queen" in 1976
I think Harry wrote that song for them, didn't he?
besides this incredibly talented line up, and the unbelievable groove to this tune, the bets thing about a KC show was the chicks. snuck into a show in the70's when i was 14 - 15 cause my cousin was a doorman, and saw the most beautiful, long legged, platform wearing, bust exposing, silk wearing women of my life! 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.
Fabulous !!!,.ktf.
One of The greatest band of 70's
Hey CRJADED----YOU ROCK, MAN! He is the absolute baddass white boy! This guy has soul all through his veins. And not only did he perform these kick ass songs, he effin' wrote them!!!
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.
Being someone who was born in 1980, the clothes look to be from Mars but the music is from Heaven!
The clothes are actually from the Planet Claire
Even in the 80's watch Blondies video Atomic....she was rockin what looked like a trash bag. I think it actually was!😅
I'm addicted to this video, thanks again for posting a classic DISCO WONDERFUL FANTASTIC KC SONG!!!! Long live disco!!
Used to judge these guys too harshly, back in the 70's...now I really love this vibe!!! Amazin what a few years can do!!!!....Johnny red
Back when it use to 'snow' in Miami!
Now this is dance music at its greatest! KC has always been an inspiration.
LIK'A MOVING DISCO JAZZ💟💟💟💝💝👍👍👍👍💪💪💪
Whoever stated death before disco must realize that disco should primarily be played by the sweetest black musicians. KC has the best musicians backing him up. For that reason alone, KC is the only white man that belongs anywhere near disco.
i kove this! my all-time favorite you tube video
Love KC and the Sunshine Band!!!Heaven Disco days... 💕💌💋👅
KC is a genius - his band love him and he loves his band - sound those funky horns - v cool
love the cape!
KC & the Sunshine Band rocked the world with their unique disco funk and dancealicious music!!
This era was the thing!!....Great horn sounding groups back then with a great swing!!!
@label1877
Yeah! It was so cool when a brass section swung with the tempo!
I saw KC and the Sunshine Band in Burlington Iowa at Steamboat Days in 1999. They are still so great to see in person! I wish that I could have told them how much I appreciate them! They were rockin. My favorite music with horns. I want to see you again!!!!!!!!!!!
I Love this version, too
good stuff!
actually what I really dig are those crazy hats and the awesome dance moves and also just the sheer enjoyment vibing off everyone on stage .... LOVE
This is the funkiest tune ever.
I remember a young black teenager - me - who had a serious jones for Harry Casey back in the day...thanks for the memories!
The stage is on F I R E ! Good Music never will die!
Look at the chap on trumpet on the left side... sure enjoyes every sleep he takes :-)
I was born just a bit to late to enjoy this stuff in nightclubs. Just missed out on studio 54 too. Love this song. My mom used to listen to this on her 8 track. :)
It does bring tears its so good! Didn't we have some fun!!!
Una orquesta y cada uno demostrando su talento en lo que eran buenos y en verdad que sí eran muy buenos, y dando un buen espectáculo para su público eso sí que es música qué vale la pena pagar para ver..👏👏👌👍👏👏
This sure stirs up some really great memories! KC & the band were way ahead of their time with music.
yeah they really were the good old days.Loved em.xx
It makes me ROCK ALL NIGHT LONG
Such awesome and upbeat music for that era!!I'm 46 and love it!!!
This video can really get ya charged up!! Fantastic music and showmanship. I wish I was there for this instrumemntal way back when.
KC wrote it, George Mcrae sung it. And from that you got MFN GOLD!
Sang it
That’s a great performance. Never knew KC and The Sunshine Band members were the backing band that performed this. Also never knew KC and Richard Finch wrote it. 👏👏
one of the best bands ever! Got to see these guys live in 2001 and still put on one hell of a show.
Best Band ever❤️love watching these videos ❤️brings back a lot of Great Memories ❤️
One of the first videos I've watched in youtube. A long time ago...
One of the greatest funk bands, hell, one of the greatest bands, EVER!!
Give a big 'thumbs up' if you miss the greatest era in music history..the legendary 70's !!!
disco4ever holds this song dear to his discoheart, a real gem.............
Super gute Version von Rock Your Baby, die kann man sich sehr oft hintereinander anhören.
Die KC waren auch eine geile Band.
oh my god
THISSS is gorgeous
Funky Jazz
KC a.k.a. Casey Harry...is the undisputed king of 'Boogie - Funk' rock....it really gets ya a movin' !!!!
Quel talent quelle ambiance. J'aurais rêvé d'assister au concert.
Love it, love it, love it!!
I remember going to nightclubs dancing all nighters to this stuff. Sweating like anything and nobody gave a shittt. drunk until you could not walk and all the cops did was help you make your wobbly way to the taxi rank. Times have changed. Hope we can get the good times back for our kids.
the 70's looked like the rocked i wish i was alive in those moments 70's rocked i like that decade better than any other
This was 40 years ago? Unreal...still cool!
50
48 years ago now
fabuleux ,scene extraordinaire avec danse à l'appui,que du bonheur ces annees la
Why were the 70s cool? Because back then an artist could sing and dance...and PLAY THEIR MUSIC. Now days they just sing and dance while session musicians play all their music.
Harry said he used session musicians - that's why the band was sometimes completely different.
Muito bom. Obrigado por postar. Eu não tinha visto ainda . Som maravilhoso. Perfeita harmonia. 😍
Awesome performance video & sound !
Thanks Chuckwagen
