Hey Paul,
 
Sound Your Funky Horn is a terrific tune.  8) I like it more so than some of the others because it's not overplayed. In fact, it may be underrated.

Probably why I like it too, Hairspray...(Heavens! I feel honoured! Hairspray's answered one of my posts!)

It's a tad more 'less-polished' than their later stuff (good as that is...), which adds to the appeal...

"Keep It Comin' Love"


Good taste, DJM!  ;D  I'll second that choice.

I love "Please Don't Go", as well.  Wasn't that actually KC's first solo song?  I know it's on the band's greatest hits collections, but I thought I had heard it was his attempt to go solo.

(this is not meant as an attempt to tarnish or influence this poll.  My name is Fett69, and I approve this post)

Dusting off another old poll...

My top pick would be: "That's The Way I Like It", with "I'm Your Boogie Man" a close second.

Subject: Re: KC & The Sunshine Band Favorite

Written By: Nostalgic on 05/05/06 at 1:01 pm

I picked "Keep It Comin' Love", followed by "Get Down Tonight". Another song I love from them is "Give It Up" from 1983, which was popular outside the United States.

Written By: BrianMannixGirl on 05/06/06 at 4:55 am

I picked Thats The Way but deep down I love them all so it was hard to choose.

Saw them in concert in the mid 90s. One of those gigs featuring 10 or 12 70s stars from Aus and US. The condert was great - everyone singing their biggest hits. Then for the closing out came KC & Sunshine Band - meant to do just 5 songs - but the crowd reacted so well that they just kept singing. We wouldnt let them leave !! They rocked the night !!

♦ 'The Same Old Song' re-charted in the UK at #99 in 1983
♦ 'That's The Way (I Like It)' re-charted in the UK at #59 in 1991



For those curious, Jacynthe (pronounced "jah-saint") is a singer from Quebec.  Originally, 'Give it Up' was planned as a sample only, but somehow she got KC to record it as a duet (on the album version, he does not appear).  Not only that, he also appeared in the video, and even provided his vocals on a French version which appeared on her second album

I cant choose.

I loved all their hits...Dont know many album tracks though.

I guess Im going to have to go with 'Thats The Way (I Like It)' and 'Please Dont Go'...Though the cover version of that song from the 90's and the overplay it got kinda made me like that song less these days.

I never did pick my favourite.  It's gotta be the original version of 'Give it Up' followed by their version of 'It's the Same Old Song'.  Love them both!

Very catchy chorus: "Do a little dance, make a little love. Get down tonight, get down tonight. "

But that was KC without The Sunshine Band, and it was 1983.

Since this thread is five years old and the guy that started has been banned for three, I've probably posted here somewhere, but I gotta go with "That's The Way (I Like It).
