A #1 hit for K.C. and The Sunshine Band in August 1975. It also hit #1 on the Rhythm & Blues charts, the Cash Box charts, and the Record World charts. It went to #6 on the Disco charts. Outside the US, it went to #1 in Canada, #5 in The Netherlands, #13 in Belgium, and to #21 in the United Kingdom.
This is my favorite of all the clips on TH-cam. The chirography is wonderful! If you notice at 4:00, they do an homage to the "Keep On Truckin!" man, popular in the 1970s by R. Crumb. And those bell bottoms! They were all the rage!
Speeded up guitar, high treble and thunderous bass and the funky horn. Blew up the charts. Wonder where this concert was? My guess is Atlanta or Philadelphia.
All of the Midnight Special episodes were filmed in "beautiful downtown" Burbank, CA, same as Carson's Tonight Show, which it followed on Friday nights.
@@cooper7931 do you actually know the exact amount of cocaine that was used in the US in 1977? And were you there when KC was using his ‘12%’ that you claim? Did you measure it, weigh it? Keep track of it? I mean, that would be an awful lot to do. It’s a free country (at least for now still) and yeah, you can say anything. But just because you CAN say it doesn’t mean you SHOULD - especially when there’s no way you could possibly know. Besides, it’s just an incredibly shitty thing to say about someone. If you were actually around in 1977 then you’re old enough to know better. So do better. Grow up. 🙄🤦🏼♀️
The crowd didn't have the same COKE-cola as KC and the Sunshine band had. Towards the end, it was obvious that they were all thirsty and needed a good COKE to refresh their minds.....
The 70's were such a good time. 2020 not so much.
Do a little dance
Make a little love
Get down tonight
Baby, babe, I'll meet you,
Same place, same time
Omg two years later this cracked me up!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
**RIP Jerome Smith! (June 18, 1953 - July 28, 2000)**
One bad dude on the Fender Telecaster!! Amen..
Love his solo
I watch this video wishing I could be in the audience in 1977. Take me back to this time.
Jennifer Price thought the sane thing. What a super band!!
Just watched this for the first time-I wish I could be KC. Playing keyboards, singing, dancing-a triple crown of talent!
What a thing to wish for. Pure magical
Same
Jennifer Price Yeah!! I WAS there, NOT at that show, but a different one, and I want to GO BACK SO BAD, it's killing me!
This performance kicks a**. Great work by these guys.
The 70's good times. God i had fun back then.
The guy on the rhythm guitar is pushing, driving that entire band ( especially from about the 2:48 mark on) Best musician in the band!
Jerome Smith

We were all so bad ass in the 70's.....
This music holds the test of time great times

Ohh man I wish I was alive in the 70s
Yes. We had a lot of fun then.

It was an episode of the Midnight Special. I remember watching it as a teenager when it first aired.

@@aquariaaustin2077 thanks for the info. So very much West Coast.

Bass, guitar and drums are seriously kickin b*tt.
LOVE it! LOVE the 1970s!
KC & the sunshine banda .
Woo woo woo woo woo woo wooo! Funk-soul -sound missing it!
Interesting fact: KC accounted for 12% of the United States cocaine consumption in 1977.
Fuckin' A, Greg,.....Whoooo!
Who cares?
Pensa num homem lindo gente, ele foi desenhado não é possível ❤❤❤
@@michelledickerson7052 nothing wrong with saying it

johnnys locker club Alameda ca ΑΩ
Este tema dan ganas de salir se re joda el sábado a la noche y romperla toda
Looks a bit high🤣
KC did some coke in some live performances iirc
MAYBE!! Although KC has said that his heavy "drug daze" were the 1980's. Either way, he put on a "Hell of a LIVE" show back in the day!
@@glitchedblood: Uhhh....NO!! They had to keep their wits about them on stage!! They had time constraints and a sequence of moves to follow!!
Booger sugar express train
coke will make you do strange things..
I didn't see them doing anything "strange" ...whether they were doing coke, or not. Great performance!
