This is a catchy tune but you STILL haven’t listened to their best. That’s the Way I Like It and Get Down Tonight! KC was the chief composer of the songs and the band was huge in the disco era, from clubs to roller rinks. I still remember how shocked I was when I found out KC was white. I think their hit at that time was That’s the Way I Like It.

This song and the feeling behind it is nothing but feel good! I was in Mannheim American High School 6-9th grade as a military dependent..we ALL got along! During the 70s, the kids were so different in background and so able to get along. We had friends who aligned with the Afro American Black Power movement…nobody minded…we had kids in the American Indian Movement (AIM)..nobody was offended…the German-American club, the Spanish American club..we all somehow managed to get along on a little piece of American soil overseas. We played sports together, we went on trips together, we sang together in Concert Choir, marched together in band, and we danced together at the AYA (American Youth Activities) club. Fights were rare and they never escalated to one group against the other. This music takes me back to that..wish it could be again!
