KC & The Sunshine Band is an iconic American disco and funk band, which has been getting people on the dance floor since their formation in Miami, Florida, in 1973. Founded by lead vocalist and songwriter Harry Wayne Casey (KC) and record producer Richard Finch, the ensemble burst onto the music scene with their effervescent fusion of R&B, funk, and a touch of Latin percussion. Their music, characterized by infectious rhythms and feel-good melodies, played a significant role in the disco revolution of the mid-to-late 1970s.

Hit singles like "Get Down Tonight," "That's the Way (I Like It)," and "(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty" didn't just top the charts; they became anthems of the era's nightlife. The group enjoyed immense commercial success, racking up numerous awards, including Grammy and American Music Awards. As disco's popularity waned at the end of the decade, KC & The Sunshine Band adapted, continuing to produce music and perform with a changing lineup. Into the 21st century, the band has maintained a presence on the music scene, delighting new generations with remixes of classic hits and holiday-themed tracks, proving their timeless appeal and enduring legacy in pop music. With a renewed focus on the dance genre, recent releases like "Last Christmas - The Remixes" and "Romantica" along with its numerous remixes, showcase the band's continued ability to evolve while keeping their quintessential sound alive.
