Release Notes:

Back in the mid 70s, if you wanted commercial, smouldering
multi-racial soul and funk, Howie Casey, Rick Finch and their
boys – KC & the Sunshine Band – were the undisputed
heavyweights. Recording for Henry Stone's TK label, the group
had cut their teeth producing and supporting artists such as
Betty Wright and George and Gwen McCrae. As a result, they
were finely honed by time they started cutting their own sides
for the label.

This two-CD collection makes a rightful claim for their
greatness. Five brief albums are collated on two discs,
beginning with 1974's Do It Good and ending with 1979’s Do You
Wanna Go Party. KC took off in Britain immediately with the
chart successes Sound Your Funky Horn and Queen Of Clubs from
Do It Good. Their self-titled second album is where it all
matures; the hits can't stop coming – That's The Way (I Like
It), Get Down Tonight (their first US No.1) and Boogie Shoes
all tumble forth, one after the other, wrapped in a veneer of
professionalism.

But it's not just that; the album tracks are mini-masterpieces
of highly textured funk; Jerome Smith’s rhythm guitar – the
one that so influenced a young Nile Rodgers – is close to
metronomic perfection. To underline their popularity, Boogie
Shoes was ensconced in disco's canon by its inclusion on the
Saturday Night Fever soundtrack.

Of course, it soon gets formulaic; you'd be amazed if it
didn't. However, the last album here, Do You Wanna Go Party
contained Please Don't Go, an old-fashioned ballad smash; the
sound of teenage love and angst.

KC & the Sunshine Band are a prime example of a phenomenally
successful and influential turn who have subsequently been
wiped off the face of musical history or at best, reduced to
two or three tunes. The TK Years affords the opportunity to
revisit their unmistakable sound again.
