This is the 70's, we were allowed to be color blind, and we made music that brought us together.

[@BigTroyT]

As it should ALWAYS be. The music was what mattered, and their music was FIRE. That horn section just kills it every time. It's impossible not to move when KC is playing.

[@MrRdh567]

amen

[@tupelohoney622]

I came to make the same comment. I was color-blind. It was a wonderful way to grow up. Thankfully, I've moved back home and have renewed old friendships, both black and white. BTW, I'm in Mississippi, a state with a deserved reputation for racial conflict. Although, I've never witnessed it personally. It's probably because we are a small town. I know everyone and their parents, grandparents, kids, etc. It's hard to be prejudiced when you know someone 's grandmother and she's your neighbor. No segregated living here. Wish I had a time machine but I guess for now music is the best teleporter.

[@cindymccomb4531]

We are still color blind unless you belong to the Democratic Party

[@bobbie1st]

People can say what they want about Disco. Disco had no color. Disco was about the music and dancing. All inclusive. I miss the world of the 70's. And yes i wore bell bottoms, everyone did.

[@SnappingTurtle801]

I love Disco. To this day I don't understand the hate.

[@rosezingleman5007]

Good times. Saw KC and the Sunshine Band in 1976 in Roanoke Virginia. Good stuff. We really were colorblind back then. Too bad younger people think this is bad.

[@ChefBarb58]

SUCH GOOD TIMES BEING 18YRS OLD IN 1974😊😊FOR A WOMAN WE ARE THE DANCING QUEEN 🦋 SO MUCH FUN AND I'LL EVEN TAKE THE DISCO BALL TOO...✨️✨️✨️🕊🕊🕊

[@nighthawkde4522]

Being 15 in 74’, disco was the absolute best. And other comments about not seeing color, absolutely true. Music knew no color, it was just good music.

[@rebeccasimmers3107]

Bell bottoms in the early 70's were a must. It was the fashion! 😊

[@hectorsmommy1717]

They were wide enough that I was able to make little girl dresses for my friends kids after they went out of style. Cut a leg off and add a bodice and sleeves of another fabric.

[@stuckinarkansas1]

Everyone wore bell bottoms at the time. It was a fad.

[@pippilangkous3308]

And do some serious 'bumping'! 😎

[@coachwhitford7315]

My dad was so cheap we never got bell bottoms until the late 70s in the bargain basement at Simpson Sears 😢 we still looked like badasses nonetheless! 😂

[@emillyyelen5169]

🇬🇧 You are correct, KC & TSB did sing "That's The Way I Like It". "Please Don't Go" "Shake Your Booty" & "Get Down Tonight", BANGERS. ❤🎶🎼

[@kpiperjr]

Don't forget Boogie Shoes!

[@pennybrown8083]

Boogie nights?

[@GinMae]

Ha - when I was in HS.. our "dance team" had a routine to "Get Down tonight".. and somebody's MOM (we suspected one of the jealous cheerleaders) convinced the principal that it was "obscene".. so at the last day before the performance, we weren't allowed to dance to that song.. we all freaked... but our cool 20-something coaches said.. "that's okay.. we'll do the routine to 'That's the way I like it'" Which is the exact same song, and nobody had time to object.. only, funny thing is "that's the way" was probably more sexually suggestive that "get down tonight"... hilarious... lol

[@beatleschick1000]

oh, I had such a crush on Casey. Those were my days of having to babysit my cousins on New Year’s Eve, and he was on Dick Clark’s to years eve a lot. I think my favorite was get down tonight of his songs. Boy, I thought he was one handsome dude. Thanks for the reaction.!!

Yeah, they've got Too Many great Hits to list.

[@jvsmith7888]

Other hits from them include "Boogie Shoes", "Get Down Tonight", "That's The Way (I Like It)", "(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty", "Keep It Comin' Love" and "Give It Up."

This!

Queen Of Clubs is another, possibly my favourite!

[@Emilie-one]

What is lacking today is a good horn/ brass section!

[@GigiTheWonderDog]

Oh yes! Like Al Green!!!

[@JaquelineGoodspeed]

Earth, Wind and Fire.

[@maureenwagg5305]

The 70's was big on horn sections. KC, Earth Wind & Fire, Tower of Power, James Brown, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Chicago etc. This is our jam. No high school dance was complete without KC's music blasting. Dance floor filling good time.

[@coachwhitford7315]

British acts were always big on brass, like Joe Jackson for one

[@waynecox5138]

Wow. Tower of Power. They used to play the fairgrounds in the 70s

[@ruthlafler5622]

For a while later in their careers Earth, Wind and Fire and Chicago were touring together, and apparently they still do sometimes. Oh, the horns! Tower of Power was from my home town. Oakland represent!

[@tonkabeanpumpkin-fh4fz]

I was past High School and had joined the Army when KC was constantly on the air. I have happy memories of line dancing to KC and the Sunshine Band in the WAC Barracks lobby with the other girls. Good times at Fort Hamilton, Brooklyn, NYC - 1976!

The 70’s was a decade that gave us the Greatest music of all time…Every Genre was the Best!

Not true. There's a reason why Disco was short lived and quickly died.

1 million percent CORRECT I WAS THERE

​@@allengator1914 I hate to break it to you, every genre (which includes Disco...) is still alive and well! Disco was around for well over a decade, having started in underground clubs in NYC, as early as 1970. However, by all means, please elaborate on the reason why Disco was "short lived" - or, will you conveniently ignore your false claim...?

You need to see some roller skaters dancing to this! Those were the days.

Probably 15 years ago KC and many newer Sunshine Band members played our local fair and it was all still banging. KC and the SB had nothing but happy music, always made you want to dance, even their slow songs.

To hear the young generations this is the most racist country in the world. They WILL NOT believe you if you tell them we had very little racism by the time the 70's and 80's came around. All they have to do is research but they'd rather believe there is a white boogeyman under their beds.

Heck yeah I wore hip higger bell bottoms with platform shoes....danced "The 4 Corners" ( A dance of the times) to Motown music and other R&B, Soul and Funk music. This is,my generation's music. Boogie Man in this song refers to the D.J. playing music to boogie ( dance) to......all night or day, whenever you want to dance.

Actually going to see them next month. My first show was when I was 14, way back in the 70s. Have seen them several times in between. Fun music.

[@Jillyconjem]

Back in the day, I had such a crush on Harry Casey. Great smile. I went with my parents to see them play at the local Six Flags (before it was Six Flags in the mid 70s. The arena was packed, and we sat in the next to top row. My Dad was an old time musician, he was a pianist/band leader of a big band in the 1930s. He loved these guys! He loved the horn section choreography! They were amazing. 💜💜💜

They were all over the radio in the '70s. Big hits were "Get Down Tonight," "That's The Way I Like It," and "Shake Your Booty." Definitely a disco and "Boogie Nights" vibe, all right.

[@chrissiegle1065]

Bell bottoms, silk shirt with big collar... high platform dress shoes... lol... yes, and we thought we looked sooooo good 😅😅

[@randyem6910]

We tore this up in the local disco's back in the 70's.

[@l-bird]

A lot of people used the term boogie to go dancing, like "let's go boogie at the disco tonight". Another fun 70's disco song to check out is Silver Convention "Get Up and Boogie".

[@lotusladylotus6159]

This genre was known was "disco funk," and KC and the Sunshine band were one of the biggest at the time. Other tracks include "Get Down Tonight", "That's the Way (I Like It), "Boogie Shoes" (released in 1975), as well as "Shake Your Booty" and "Keep it Coming Love" (release in 1976), among others. Everyone wore bell bottoms at the time (you couldn't find straight leg pants at the time), but KC and the band were known for their technicolour and bedazzled disco outfits, and the brass sections' coordinated dance moves while playing. During one of their concerts (can't remember which one), one of the band members started busting a move centre stage, it was awesome. Back then, the 'Boogie man'' referred to the DJ, and 'boogie' was also a colloquial expression that meant "getting down" on the dance floor.

[@starburstppl]

See, in the 70s we didn’t see color! Everyone was the same no matter your skin color. There was probably SOME racism but for the most part everyone just came together for great music! The racism in this country today is horrible. Some people just can’t let things go!

Horn section/Brass section common terms. When they left the bands in the late 70s and early 80s was a sad time. That big band sound that was the 70's was completed with horns and other wind instruments.
