Converted vinyl to CD. KC and The Sunshine Band are staples in 70's Disco. Love it.
He is enjoying it and totally cranks up the volume. This was a gift for my husband. He loves this music.
I RECOMMEND THIS CD TO EVERYONE. I WAS A FAN OF THIS GROUP SINCE THE 70'S. THIS CD IS A GREAT COMPILATION OF ALL THEIR HITS.
The first CD starts off with the original single version of "Get Down Tonight;" their disco style really also rocks hard and I love every minute of it. "Let's Go Rock And Roll" impresses me today; this shows us how KC and the Sunshine Band were morphing toward an early `80s dance type of music that evolved out of disco; and they do this really well. "Please Don't Go" is another very strong number--this has a slower dance beat that is perfect for slow dancing all alone late at night with your sweetheart in your living room. "That's The Way (I Like It)" follows; KC and the Sunshine Band sing and play this to perfection--and beyond. Great."I'm Your Boogie Man" rolls and rocks through its disco flavored melody; this made so many people take to the dance floors in the golden era of disco--and it still has a great sound today. The musical special effects work perfectly and they sing this tune out loud.
"Give It Up" has a distinctly early `80s beat to it and KC and the Sunshine beat still can make me wanna dance with this hit. KC and the Sunshine Band 25th Anniversary Collection has a lot of great music by KC and The Sunshine Band that I really love to hear. The sound quality is great and the artwork is very nicely done, too. "(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty" is probably one of the strongest numbers on the first CD; this tune was a huge hit for this group and the beat is catchy and great for dancing even today all these years later.
"I'm So Crazy ('Bout You)" is prime KC and the Sunshine Band and I like "I'm So Crazy ('Bout You)" very much. "I'm So Crazy ('Bout You)" picks up the tempo somewhat and this works very well for this dance number. "Wrap Your Arms Around Me" is equally bright; the percussion marks the beat and KC and the Sunshine Band perform this flawlessly.The second CD continues the hits. "Por Favor No Te Vayas (Please Don't Go)" is sung beautifully in Spanish to the same music that we get for the English music; and listen for the "Tom Moulton" mix of "Get Down Tonight." This last number polishes off the two CD set with flair and it leaves you wanting more, too.
"Who Do Ya Love" has an uplifting beat and the melody is also great for dancing. The tune has a great disco beat with that throbbing bass and they sing this well. "Keep It Comin' Love" was one of their biggest hits ever with its throbbing beat and they sing this very well--awesome. This is a great two CD set for diehard fans; and it's also very good for the more casual fan who wants a "greatest hits" package without buying too many CDs by this group.
If you like disco, "I'm Your Boogie Man" is a perfect song for you to dance to. IT smacks of that `70s flavor I still like so much. Great. Now THIS is music that makes me wanna dance."Sound Your Funky Horn" has a great beat--and yes, it IS a funky beat.
rock critics can criticize disco all they want, but they were missing out on all the fun - man, those were the days.My only critique would be the exclusion of the extended club version of "Give It Up", otherwise, a terrific 2-cd set. I haven't heard any. . it's practically impossible to resist the lure of the dance floor when a classic KC song starts to play - are there any songs being recorded today that have that same impact.
