KC & The Sunshine Band - Live in Miami (1975)

[@GrantKloulubak-bf7bm]

Talented American band

[@kunchuzking3527]

Back when funk and color didnt matter. Everybody just boogied down! MIxed band. Funk was funk.

[@Jillian15]

Thank you for saying that....everybody just funked.❤

[@skippy7208]

It’s actually disco. Funk is a different type of music 😊

[@jmcrae825]

The 70s were the shit!

[@flashy5150]

Color never mattered in the music industry and among musicians.

[@11dsw]

That was Discos thing…total inclusion…in the beginning. This is not funk, too structured.

[@rozchristopherson648]

The bass guitarist handling his business. Three beautiful ladies backing it up. The guy in the turban taking it to another level. And KC--the funkiest white dude on the planet. Love it.

[@BassManBobBassCovers]

It's not easy to play his parts. There are a lot of unique accents that are difficult to replicate.

[@elizabethmencia6027]

I think KC was part Cuban. Great mixed band.

[@Caligari...]

That's alright you'll see them all in Hell !

[@BrianMcKnight68]

Very easy to dismiss KC and the Sunshine Band as disco flash-in-the-pans, but these guys (and ladies!) sound great! No studio trickery here, just a great live band. They could bring it!

[@rsmith7912]

They certainly were no disco flash-in-the-pans. He still performs live shows even 45 years later now in 2023. In the UK they had around 15 hits from '74 onwards & even a no 1 in '83 with 'Give It Up'. I know in the US they were absolutely huge & had five no 1's during their string of hits that went well into the 80's. KC was also busy producing George McCrea who himself had a good run of hits for ten years or so, including his no 1 single 'Rock Your Baby' which has been recognised as Disco's first no 1single. He was and still is a forerunner of the Disco explosion & so rightly deserved the phenomenal worldwide success that the band enjoyed. So to say they were flash in the pans is really a bit of an insult considering how much KC & the Sunshine Band contributed to the happy generation of Disco. The guy deserves a freekin' medal.

[@caribman10]

...and this isn't "disco" anyway.....

[@staciasmith5162]

Hot damn!! KC and the band always brought it! I'll always love this man. I always wanted to be 15 years older so that I could go to Woodstock and this Miami concert❣️

Totally agree! Hardly a week goes by when KC isn’t on the radio. Def not a flash in the pan. Brilliant stuff!

[@janishart5128]

[@katewhite2465]

I don't think many thought KCaTSB would be timeless in 1975. We were overwhelmed with great music from all around. Very pleased that their music has proven to be timeless and still uplifting. They've persevered and are still touring through 2023; nearly 50 years after this 1975 concert.

[@luvbasses5487]

…a mid seventies Fender Jazz Bass coming through an Ampeg SVT bass rig. This is absolute music to my ears. Much of the appeal of this act are the neat and tidy bass figures - and I feel many didn’t even realize it. People react to a easy, funky beat by dancing - not realizing that it’s the bass they’re dancing to! (Well, the drums come first.) That’s the thing with us bass players…we’re secretly in control of the entire operation. All I hear in this film is bass and I love it. It’s so freakin good. Finch exhibits a great amount of discipline in his playing. As I listen here I’m playing all kinds of fills in my head…all the while Richard just keeps to the root. He’s a true pro - and co-wrote their biggest hits!

[@kazuyette]

Amen brother. The bass line is effin tight and so are the drums ! I respect the bass players.

[@MORCOPOLO0817]

Racism only seems greater today because the media makes a big ordeal out of essentially nothing. That is why it is important to get away from such news outlets such as CNN and MSNBC. They are controlled by the globalists that have an agenda. "Racism" is a political tool to control the masses. If anything, there are probably more successful black people who are succeeding and thriving today than ever before.

DAMN! How I miss those feckin care free years of the 70s! I was only 14 in '75 lol. I started HS the August of that year. I LOVED all that music had to offer and, Disco was magical back in its infancy. Don't get me wrong, Disco is still great and I love to see young people of today loving and enjoying it. I will tell you this....Disco is so fun, wild, care free and cool, when there are 0 racial barriers getting in the way. Look at KC, he was (probably still is) drenched in funk and coolness and there were NO barriers in this Band. Disco makes the heart happy, it can turn sad to glad and (take it from us oldies) it will make you feel years younger. Whatever you do....do NOT miss getting on the Soul Train!
