KC and the Sunshine Band are still as widely popular today as they were when they first danced
into the music scene 50 years ago. Harry Wayne Casey—KC for short—developed a unique
fusion of R&B and funk, with a hint of a Latin percussion groove, giving us an impressive string
of hits like “Get Down Tonight,” “That’s The Way (I Like It)” and “Shake Your Booty.” With
sales of over 100 million records, nine Grammy nominations, three Grammy Awards and an
American Music Award, KC and the Sunshine Band was one of the most progressive bands of
the 70s and is credited with changing the sound of modern pop music. Today, KC and the
Sunshine Band play over 100 live shows annually, circling the country and playing dates
regularly throughout Europe, Australia and South America. This year KC will celebrate 50 years
of entertaining us, writing songs, and performing around the world and has no intention of
stopping.
In the last decade KC has continued to influence the dance and disco scene by releasing new
music, most recently his single, “Unconditional Love featuring Bimbo Jones.” In March of 2015
KC and the Sunshine Band released, “Feeling You! The 60s.” The album was a tribute to the era
that shaped KC into the revolutionary artist he became in the 70s. Covers on the album include
songs by sixties legends Bob Dylan, Ben E. King, The Kinks, The Righteous Brothers, Jackie
DeShannon, Aaron Neville and many more. Just like the rest of America during that time he was
inspired by the music, innocence, sex, social and political movements and counterculture of the
era, which led to him founding the Dance Revolution and teaching the world how to boogie.
“The widespread social and political issues of the 1960s was, in part, the inspiration to do
something that would make people forget about their problems and be happy,” said Casey.
“People were looking for something that would divert their attention from the negative aspects of
everyday life surrounding them.”
KC started working in the music business at age 17, performing menial tasks around the T.K.
Records/Studio complex in his hometown of Miami. The Sunshine Band originated in 1973.
Their first record, Blow Your Whistle, made the top 15 on the R&B chart. Their second album,
KC and the Sunshine Band, was released in 1975, went triple platinum and contained the #1 hits
“Get Down Tonight,” “That’s the Way (I Like It),” “Boogie Shoes” and “Rock Your Baby.” KC
and the Sunshine Band became the first act to score four #1 pop singles in one 12-month period
since the Beatles in 1964. Three of those singles also crossed over to become #1 R&B tracks.
KC’s third album, Part 3, released in 1976, also went triple platinum and contained the #1
singles “I’m Your Boogie Man,” “Shake Your Booty” and “Keep It Comin’ Love.” The band’s
string of hit singles continued with “Boogie Shoes,” which was included on the Saturday Night
Fever soundtrack, “Please Don’t Go” and “Yes, I’m Ready,” a duet with high school friend Teri
DeSario. KC returned to the charts in 1983 with “Give It Up,” which also hit #1 in the UK.
KC’s success in music has earned him an extensive list of accolades including an American
Music Award for Best R&B Artist in 1975 and a songwriting Grammy for Best R&B song for
“Where Is The Love,” which was recorded by Betty Wright. He also received a Grammy Award
for Album of the Year, as well as Producer of the Year in 1978 for his work on the Saturday
Night Fever soundtrack. In 2001, KC was honored with the NARAS Governor’s Award, the
highest honor given by a chapter of the Academy. He received a coveted Star on the Hollywood
Walk of Fame in 2002, where Dick Clark and music producer Michael Lloyd turned out to honor
him. This particular recognition represents the passion that KC has in writing music,
implementing elements of various eras in his songs, proving him to be a passionate, veteran
craftsman. All of these career highlights are chronicled in his book, That’s The Way I Like It –
The Harry Wayne Casey Story, which was published that same year.
KC’s music continues to be a favorite today. His songs have appeared in ads for companies like
General Motors, Burger King, Payless Shoes, Papa John’s Pizza, Old Navy and Nick at Nite. His
music has also been featured in over 200 commercials and movies such as Forrest Gump (“Get
Down Tonight”), Boogie Nights (“Boogie Shoes”), Boys Don’t Cry (“Rock Your Baby”), Rush
Hour (“Get Down Tonight”), Carlito’s Way (“Rock Your Baby,” “Shake Your Booty” and
“That’s The Way I Like It”) and Austin Powers in Goldmember (“Shake Your Booty”). In the
summer of 2003, KC also had a cameo in the feature film The In-Laws starring Michael Douglas
and Albert Brooks.
KC’s songs are regularly heard at sporting events, were featured during Opening Ceremonies of
the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino, Italy and he even performed a free concert in Salt Lake
City for the 2002 Winter Olympics. No stranger to the small screen, KC’s songs have been
featured in such shows as Desperate Housewives, Ally McBeal, American Bandstand’s 50th
Anniversary Party and most recently American Idol and Dancing With The Stars with the help of
the USC marching band. Additionally, KC and the Sunshine Band have the distinction of having
made more appearances on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve than any other artist in the
program’s history!
Music acts like White Zombie, Baha Men, Beyoncé and American Idol’s Kelly & Justin have
covered his music. Additionally, KC and the Sunshine Band’s grooves and bass lines have been
sampled in everything from “Rap” by Snoop Dogg to “Trick Daddy to Dance” by Ultra Nate and
many, many more.
You can count on hearing his music on the radio, at a nightclub, at the movies, in a sports arena
or at one of the 100-plus concerts KC and the Sunshine Band plays every year. It is always fun
and truly makes all who hear it happy enough to dance!

ASAP (Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project) has released a survey to learn more about how people in Western North Carolina shop for food and why they choose the food they do. The survey, part of a three-year project by ASAP’s Local Food Research Center, is for any resident of Western North Carolina over the age of 18, no matter where or how they shop for food. It can be completed online at surveymonkey.com/r/WNCFoodASAP or over the phone by calling ASAP at 828-236-1282. It should take approximately 8 to 12 minutes to complete and will be open through Oct. 31, 2024. Respondents are encouraged to share the survey widely with families, friends, and co-workers.
“By completing this survey, you are helping local farmers understand and connect with consumers,” said Amy Marion, ASAP Associate Director and lead researcher. “The challenges of our food system are constantly evolving. Improving it requires active participation from all community members. With this research we can better understand consumer values and the barriers they face, and help farmers and food producers improve communications with their customers and their communities.”
The survey is part of a three-year research project, “Connections in Direct Markets: Assessing the feedback loop between consumer values and farmers’ marketing strategies,” which will examine and improve communication and alignment between farmers and consumers in Western North Carolina. The research phase will also employ consumer focus groups, farmer interviews and case studies, and more targeted surveying. The broad consumer survey provides an update to the last consumer survey conducted by the Local Food Research Center in 2014. Results from the current research project will be shared in 2025.
ASAP founded the Local Food Research Center in 2011 to study the economic, environmental, and social impacts of localizing food systems. From its inception, ASAP’s programs and services have been grounded in research and evaluation, adjusting based on a strong feedback loop and observation of current conditions in the food system.
This project is supported in part by the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, U.S. Department of Agriculture, under award number 2022-38640-37488 through the Southern Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education program under subaward number LS23-382. USDA is an equal opportunity employer and service provider.
