KC & the Sunshine Band officially formed in 1973, but a debut single, 'Blow Your Whistle,' sunk from sight upon release.
Casey and Finch first met in 1972 while both were employed by TK Records in Miami, where among other chores, Casey served as a personal secretary and booking agent for artist Timmy Thomas. During the mid- to late '70s, the multi-member and racially integrated group - led by bandleaders Harry Wayne 'KC' Casey and Richard Finch - racked up some of the era's biggest, most recognized dance hits. The Bee Gees may have been the undisputed disco kings of the late '70s, but KC & the Sunshine Band weren't far behind.
