Harry Wayne Casey (born January 31, 1951), better known by his stage

name K.C., is an American musician, singer, songwriter, and record

producer. He is best known for his band, KC and the Sunshine Band, as

a producer of several hits for other artists, and as a pioneer of the

disco genre of the 1970s.Harry Wayne Casey formed his band in 1973. He

was introduced to Richard Finch, who was doing engineering work on

records for TK Records. Thus began the Casey-Finch musical

collaboration. The initial members were just Casey and Finch. They

later added guitarist Jerome Smith (June 18, 1953 - July 28, 2000) and

drummer Robert Johnson, both TK studio musicians.The first few songs,

"Blow Your Whistle" (September 1973) and "Sound Your Funky Horn"

(February 1974), were released as singles, and did well enough on the

U.S. R&B chart and overseas that TK wanted a follow-up single and

album. However, while working on demos for K.C. & the Sunshine Band

the song, "Rock Your Baby" (George McCrae) was created. The band's

"Queen of Clubs" was a hit in the UK, peaking at No. 7, and they went

on tour there in 1975.K.C. and the Sunshine Band became prominent in

the United States in 1975 with "Get Down Tonight" and "That's the Way

(I Like It)." Other Casey-Finch favorites include "(Shake, Shake,

Shake) Shake Your Booty," "I'm Your Boogie Man," "Keep It Comin' Love"

and "Please Don't Go." "Boogie Shoes" appeared on the soundtrack album

for Saturday Night Fever. He also joined Teri DeSario on her hit "Yes,

I'm Ready" in 1979. Casey also part-wrote "I Ain't Lyin'" (a UK hit

for George McCrae in late 1975).
