KC & The Sunshine Band
Shake Shake Shake Shake Your Booty

Their music has been featured at EVERY major sporting event in the world from the Super Bowl, World Series, and the NASCAR racing Circuit to The Kentucky Derby; EVERY Holiday Parade including the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade and the Tournament of Roses Parade; Political Conventions and Presidential Campaigns; more than 200 motion picture film soundtracks, and nearly EVERY wedding, confirmation, and bar mitzvah in the world? Called the "Founder of the Dance Revolution," he is Harry Wayne "KC" Casey, better known as the founder and leader of KC and The Sunshine Band. The music that got people out of their seats and onto the dance floor originated with humble beginnings in Hialeah, Florida, and KC's legendary "Sunshine Sound" has flourished continuously for over 37 years. "I remember that I always wanted to do something that would make people forget about their problems and be happy," recalls KC. "I always loved music and I was fortunate enough to grow up in a multi-ethnic area that exposed me to a lot of different cultures and music...from Pop to Reggae to Latin. I experimented at trying to put all three types of music together and the Sunshine Sound was born." Back in 1973,Henry Stone, owner of Tone Distributors and TK Recording Studios took a liking to the energetic and optimistic Harry Casey and decided to give him a chance to make his dream come true with recording deal. That dream would not only bring the world legendary music, but influence a whole generation. From clothing to hairstyles to dance styles. Four Number one Records in a row, Grammy Awards, Peoples Choice Awards, American Music Awards, and the focus of the music world became Miami, Florida. KC & The Sunshine Band became the first act to score four #1 pop singles in one 12-month period since the Beatles in 1964.The group racked up an impressive run of disco hits: "Shake Shake Shake (Shake Your Booty)," "I'm Your Boogieman," "Keep It Comin' Love," "Boogie Shoes" (the latter included on the monster-selling soundtrack to the hit John Travolta film, "Saturday Night Fever"), "Do You Wanna Go Party," and "Please Don't Go." Things have changed drastically since 1973, but the infectious, feel good, happy music of KC and the Sunshine Band is still entertaining audiences around the world after 37 years and in excess of 100 million records, and "That's The Way They Like It" uh-huh uh-huh!
