Q: Such a great groove, tell me how that one emerged.Ī: I had a working title for ‘Tonight’ which was ‘All You Want Is What You Get,’ and then at some point I changed it to ‘Get Down Tonight.’ The process of writing a song was pretty regular for me. So then it was time to do another record, that’s when ‘Get Down Tonight’ happened. And he heard this song called ‘Queen of Clubs.’ He said, ‘That’s a hit…,’ and he took it back to Europe and it became a huge hit, like No. When did it really take off for KC and the Sunshine Band?Ī: The guy that was putting the records out in the UK came over and wanted to know if we had any more KC songs done. And you wrote a big hit, “Rock Your Baby,” for George McRae. Q: Your first single, “Blow Your Whistle,” made the Top 20 on the R&B charts and did well in Europe.
So I was around a certain part of the business, but never directly involved. A lot of my family put out gospel records and stuff like that. From an early age, I just always wanted to be an entertainer or wanted to be in show business.
