Re: KC - In January 1981, he survived a serious car accident — another car hit his car head-on. He was left partially paralyzed for six months, and had to re-learn how to walk, dance, and play the piano, but by the end of the year he was back in the recording studio. "Give It Up", was released as a solo hit, shot to Number One in the UK (but his U.S. label, Epic, refused to release it).

I’m sorry but it could NEVER have been a number one hit back in 1982.

Disco was universally hated back then and KC and the Sunshine Band was definitely a disco band and that means that everyone “hated” them. That is why they were only able to make 18 on the Hot 100, and it was lucky to get that.

I was a fan and own this LP, and like you think it was a true masterpiece. But it was never going to get that kind of love from the mainstream audience.

I was in high school when this came out and in the early 90s I was a Pop DJ and got to meet and have a short chat with KC. I told him that “Give It Up” was my favorite song of his and he was appreciative.

KC and The Sunshine Band are always happening and rocking the funky world. I've fortunately had the recent pleasure of seeing them LIVE in Columbia, SC indoors- and outdoors in Roanoke, Virgina at Elmwood Park. KC and The Sunshine Band are always high energy inspiring fantastic and magnificent.
I look forward to October 15 in Atlantic City where they will team up for the B52's Farewell Tour. Their Hollywood (and Palm) Star(s) are well deserved and earned.
Every KC and The Sunshine Band member is humble down to earth good souls.
Please do not stop touring. KC and The Sunshine Band are welcomed and loved all the time forever in the spirits and hearts of everyone who listens to the funky beat of your awesome music. You ROCK KC and The Sunshine Band!

@RocStarr913

Osama Anwar It’s more than just that. The Internet and digital technology made the entertainment industry more massive than it ever had been before and created a more fragmented consumer market than ever before. Before, you had to have record labels have the money to actually produce actual physical copies of records to sell during the analog days. Now they can make infinite copies of records to stream and to download and that ultimately creates way more competition for performers to sell their music and some resort to cheap publicity stunts like politics to get their foot in the door.

According to Wikipedia, Epic Records didn’t have confidence in this song, so KC formed his own company and released it himself. Maybe that’s the reason for the lackluster video. No matter; it’s a great song and probably introduced the M-TV generation to an artist they might never have heard of since his last hit was in 1980.

@RocStarr913

They didn’t have confidence in this song as a single because they thought KC & The Sunshine Band were basically has-beens and weren’t worth spending any more money on to promote their album after two previous singles that had completely flopped. But in Holland, where disco was still big, they did green-light a single release for it there, and then it slowly spread worldwide eventually back to America.
