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.
