Just got out of the AirForce and a couple of my friends and I started what was k own back then a garage band. We played Steppenwolf and doors. Outside we had a crowd and that’s where I first met KC. We fizzled, and they bloomed. Interesting fact though was I went to school to become a respiratory therapist. While working at Cedars of Lebonan hospital in Miami I walked into a room to treat a patient, and low and behold there was kc!

Shawn and Mel, I was in Bahrain in the middle east at Tylos Disco dancing this song (with a British Girlfriend that lived there from Birmingham, UK) was played for the first time (the song was released in July79) at Christmas time 1979 I believe and was deep into a romantic kiss and the moment, when I was tapped on the shoulder and informed we Military guys and Self defense force guys were on Alert to get back to the base. I told her that I would see her in a few days. 4 months later I saw her after going on a special op, top secret mission of rescuing civilians and diplomats off the beach in Iran during the Iranian crisis. She said that was the longest few days ever when I showed up after going on that mission. The British DJ, Mike Ocean was the DJ and I had him put that song on when Sharon and I got there to slow dance a proper long dance.LOL KC and the Sunshine Band were jumping on the dance floor back then overseas and had LOTS of dance partners, and lady friends when times were fun and music was great! Keep up the great videos!
