Summary: KC You are Great
Comment: I had the opportunity see KC and the Sunshine Band perform over the summer. I waited 28 yrs to see perform and I will say this, his is still great. His energy makes you want to dance, he gave his audience the best show even though he did not feel well. I bought this CD because it has all of his hits and it brings back memories growing up. My favorite is "Please Don't Go", but every KC fan should have this CD.

Summary: KC & the Sunshine Band review
Comment: I purchased this cd as a birthday gift for a special friend who is in the Army and currently deployed to Iraq. This cd is only one of many of his musical preferences, and I wanted to give him something I knew he would like for his birthday. I am extremely pleased with my purchase, and hope to hear first-hand from him when he comes home for R & R how much he enjoys his cd. May God bless and keep each and every one who serves in our armed forces; my prayers are with you all! You are all heroes in my eyes!

Summary: a solid greatest hits package geared toward the casual fan
Comment: 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!

Summary: Great memories
Comment: I gave this to my husband for Father's Day and he thought it was the best. All our family and friends enjoy it when they are over to swim. It brings back a lot of good memories and now my 5 year old grandson is singing along as he also loves the songs especially "shake your booty".
