When everyone no matter what color you were knew how to have fun.. Best decade

[@therealhousewifeofballtown]

Amen to that sis ! ♥️

[@bubsmeister]

Really was....so glad I came of age in this decade....

[@workingman6681]

Love that I grew up in the 70's. Best music ever. Rock, Disco, R&B. We had everything.

[@pattytyndall1021]

Me too!

[@vickiconley3638]

You bet! 70's are the best!

[@gregheath8106]

Same. Born in '67

[@karencampbell2760]

Yaaasss!!!!!

[@dorarie3167]

The charts were also so mixed with genres. You could find pop, rock, soft rock, R&B, funk, disco all on the charts right into the Eighties.

[@mikefixx7177]

The 1970s was the best time for music, I was so happy to be a part of that era

[@evelynrossetto3143]

you bet cha!! was in my 20s!!

I was a little kid in the 70s and my mom and aunt would move out furniture and have a dance party with 8 of us kids! Love the reaction!! We would dance our little hearts out to this!

[@deelindastimac7359]

Sounds like we lived at the same house so much fun memories ✌

[@KIMBERLEY-Q]

We had 7 kids when this came out.. We danced in our station wagon on the way to the beach! Good days!

[@lisarainbow9703]

No need to move the furniture- we just danced on top of the bed...😂💃💃💃💃💃

[@angelado3]

and I had just graduated from high school "71"

[@keithshelton9537]

That is an awesome story about your mom and aunt with the kids dancing. What family is all about!

[@TheCornishCockney]

Back then in those wonderful happy days,KC & the Sunshine Band were on everyone’s party playlist. The parties,oh the parties,and not a phone in sight,just people enjoying themselves. Damn,I miss the 70’s.

[@marningritaguy]

KC is still performing. He had retired but one of his backup singers convinced him to tour again. He is older and a little heavier but the music holds up to this day and will get your "Bootie " up and dancing.

[@poundcake55]

You must’ve seen us on Unsung. I’m the back up singer you referring to. Beverly Champion Foster in the yellow. Great memories.

[@gxl5892]

This was our Friday night heading to the high school football song!!! The horns are killing it. This is when white and black made amazing music together.

Amen None of today's nonsense.

[@brendatramel5668]

Got to see them in person in 1973 Grad Night. Love them

[@KIMBERLEY-Q]

It says in my diary from when I was 11 that this Is my favorite song!

[@colibri1]

Other big hits (meaning big-sellers that were played on the radio a lot) from KC and the Sunshine Band were "Get Down Tonight" (1975), "Shake Your Booty" (1976), and "I'm Your Boogie Man" (1976). Since y'all liked this, you would probably also like the group Heatwave from this time period; they had big radio hits with "Boogie Nights" (1976) and "The Groove Line" (1977), and Brick would probably also appeal to you, with hits like "Dazz" (1976) and "Dusic" (1977), all with that seventies disco-funk sound that gets you moving.

[@kurterickson9781]

You're the first besides myself to suggest Brick. Great call. The bass line in "Dazz" is still fresh today. And it's been sampled by various hip hop artists.

[@Mamat5kdz]

I'm in heaven just reading the titles...hahahahahaha

[@Mamat5kdz]

Heck yeah!!!

[@now0nline]

Those were the best days of my life. Used to listed to KSOL in the bay area back in the 70's. Most everyone I knew at the time was listening to KFRC though. Won a dance contest to "Groove Line" in 77 maybe a day or two after it debuted. And many dances closed to their other hit in 78, "Always and forever".

[@knoahbody69]

She's a brick....house, She's Mighty Mighty, just letting in all hang out. I didn't exactly know what it meant hearing on the radio on the way to grade school, but it was a good thing apparently.

[@GTLyons]

You two never fail to make me smile... thumbs up for my guilty addiction to Asia and BJ Reactions .... yep and Amen.

[@coolmomjj48]

I love these two. They always make me smile. And put me in a better mood.

[@pholt5419]

Me too, love them!

[@mikecaetano]

Break out the roller skates! And dig that bass line and those horns! When you're ready for more from KC & The Sunshine Band check out some of these -- "Keep It Comin' Love", "Boogie Shoes", "Shake Your Booty", and "Get Down Tonight".

[@donaldlove9195]

Definitely must do Keep it comin Love ..

[@flutesong5527]

A truly happy song that makes everyone smile. When my grandchild opens his mouth real wide for a favorite bite of food I sing this at him, "That's the thing you like it, uh ha, oh ha!" LOL

[@thetattooedvaper4081]

Wow! Memories. I remember this when it aired the first time! Yeah I'm old. Dig it.

15 years old and life was amazing! Large group of friends that all sang this together whenever we heard it!! 1975 and I have GREAT memories. Smiling all the way through this!

Back In The Day,, Many High School Bands Covered This Song With The Dance Moves & Everything..My High School Did & They Did A Great Job.

[@Halloween111]

KC's performance here is on Soul Train. That was a huge endorsement back in the day.

[@Kevin-py7hb]

Thats the way Asia and BJ like it!!!!!!! I grew up on this music from the 70's... Best genre of music in my opinion. I was 7 when this came out. The kind of music that makes you MOVE!!!!! Love your energy in all your reactions. Keep grooving!!!!!!!

[@robycip9715]

"I'm Your Boogie Man" a must!

[@shadowbannedmel]

Oh, yeah! Killer horn section, those sweet backup vocals...I miss this era of music so much. The soundtrack of my youth. Thanks for the listen and reaction!

[@beeseewill2407]

one of the best dance song you can't get out of your head. actually played this song on high school graduation ceremony, everyone in the whole school ground just dance. The teachers, ex (graduating) students, and parents.

[@markkarnish7357]

Gotta listen to "I'm your boogie man" and " Please don't go". They have a lot of great songs

[@jimwagner9522]

Sounds like it might be time for a disco night live.

1975... memorable for me. I was in the military (Air Force) and my first child was born. I was living in Miami,FL then and they were on the radio almost all the time for a few years. Memories! :)

[@tyronebrewer3219]

Class of 1975, jammed hard to this song.

I'm laughing so hard, lol, with your comments. But seriously, this video is amazing to watch for its historical and cultural value...like going back through a time machine. Look how dynamic all the performers are...and the clothes! How much fun did we have back then? What a happy, uplifting song, too.🎵🎶

[@johnnie3Chords]

You can't stand still when you listen to this , I remember watching Soul Train every weekend when I was a kid in the 70's , what a great era for music , all genres were great !

[@josepharnita2748]

Shoooot!! the dancing with the horns and all that you see in marching bands now came from back in the day!! You didn't know Lol!!!

[@kenpaden]

I saw them around 76 at Six Flags in St Louis Mo., they were great!!! everyone was on their feet the whole time. This song was probably their biggest hit and took over like Old Town Road did a couple of years ago.

[@davidelliott6683]

My first concert. I was 15 dancing with girls 18 to 20. Precious memories!!!!

[@davidelliott6683]

I saw them the summer of '75 in Norfolk, Va.

I saw KC in Florida two years ago and he sounded as good as ever. The Sunshine Band was awesome!

[@chrisnicol1644]

Holy Crap... I was 17 when this came out. Still sounds groovy

[@briarpatch720]

ahhh, my first ever concert. I was just a wee lad and our parents took us to the Kansas City Worlds of Fun Amusement Park and KC and the Sunshine Band played at the amphitheater. Suzanne Summers of Threes Company fame and later the Thigh Master spokesperson opened up for them.

[@elizabethklaver7404]

I worked at Disney World after high school (1978) and I was in my costume walking through the tunnels and he and the band walked up beside me and talked with me the whole time. Really nice guys.

I was ten years old when this song came out, and it was really, really popular. A teenage babysitter of ours at the time had a big crush on KC and had seen the group in concert a couple of times.

[@brenthowell8883]

Check out one of their top hits Get Down Tonight. It's FIRE FIRE!✌

[@michaelarrowood4315]

KC was "Casey" - and yes he brought together an amazing band. So much fun - a disco pioneer. I love KC's voice, but it's the drums, congas, backup singers, horn section, guitars... they bring it all together and give it that sound. They called it "disco", but I think it was "funk." But definitions don't really matter - KC & The Sunshine Band (name for Florida, the Sunshine State, where they got together) was so much fun. P.S. Back in the day, I saw them on "Soul Train" (the video here) and also on "American Bandstand." That says a lot right there about how they crossed over genres and racial lines. That was so good for all!

[@willjeffers519]

Asia your voice and song at the beginning is one of the best things I’ve ever heard! So buttery smooth and divine feminine queen 👸🏽 soulful upliftment and melt my soul. Wow! I love it

🤔🤔Um, yes, it would be insane to say "sh!t" being created today stands the test of time due to the simple fact that it's NEW, & hasn't had the time to test how it stands. 😬 However, there is music being created today that's far better than the sunshine band & will w/o a doubt stand up over time. Perhaps your just listening to the wrong "sh!t"🤔
