Richard, thanks for the request...I really loved the old "KC & the Sunshine" tunes...danced to quite a few of the songs in my life. Wonderful to have you as a friend. Peace & Love.
Thanks so much, Richard, what a delight to meet you here after so many years of enjoying the music you've created. I can remember the first time I heard KC and the Sunshine Band, it was on my friends AM/FM radio (battery operated) in a "fort" we built between our houses. It was like nothing either of us had ever heard before. Then it was, "Mom, turn it up please!" on drives to the beach with 8-10 girls singing "That's The Way" at the top of their lungs in the back of a (huge) pea-green station wagon. Thanks for the great memories, and all the extraordinary music. It stands the test of time, and is just as vibrant and exciting today as the first time I heard it. It is wonderful that you are still making music and producing/arranging, you've got the muse for sure! Take care, Stacy Tuttle CAMPAIGN FOR CARE & SKINNY TIE BAND
