Page "KC and the Sunshine Band" Paragraph 3

With the release of the self titled triple platinum second album KC and the Sunshine Band in 1975 came the group's first major U. S. hit with " Get Down Tonight ".

It topped the R & B chart in April and the Billboard Hot 100 in August.

" That's the Way ( I Like It )" also became a number one hit in November 1975 and the group did well at the 1976 Grammy Awards.

The 1976 album Part 3 yielded two number one singles: " I'm Your Boogie Man ", "( Shake, Shake, Shake ) Shake Your Booty " and " Keep It Comin ' Love " peaked at number two.

Their success lasted until the fifth album ; their last chart topping hit was " Please Don't Go " in December 1979, hitting # 1 for one week in January 1980, and becoming the first # 1 hit of the 1980s.

With the explosion of new wave music and the declining popularity of disco, the group explored other styles and changed labels, joining Epic Records in 1980 after TK Records went bankrupt.
