KC & The Sunshine Band is still as widely popular today as they were when they first danced onto the music scene 36 years ago. Harry Wayne Casey – KC, for short – developed a unique fusion of R&B and funk, with a hint of a Latin percussion groove, giving us an impressive string of hits like "Get Down Tonight,” "That’s The Way (I Like It)" and "Shake Your Booty." With sales of over 75 million records, nine Grammy nominations, three Grammy Awards and The American Music Award, KC and the Sunshine Band are one of the seminal forces in pop. The group pioneered an original funk style that continues to delight old fans and attract new ones into the millennium. Along with the Beatles, KC is the only artist to have four number one singles in the span of a year: “Boogie Shoes,” “Get Down Tonight,” “That's the Way I Like It,” and “Rock Your Baby.”
