KC from KC & The Sunshine Band shares his 70s memories, including his international success with singles like Get Down Tonight and That's The Way I Like It.

At the start of the 70s, Harry Wayne Casey (KC) was a record store employee and working part-time for TK Records in Florida. He formed KC & The Sunshine Band in 1973 with Richard Finch, Jerome Smith and Robert Johnson. With the release of the self-titled second album in 1975 came the group's first major U.S. hit with Get Down Tonight. It topped the R&B chart in April and hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in August. Their success lasted until the fifth album; their last chart topping hit was Please Don't Go in December 1979.

Also on the show, Johnnie will delve into the 大象传媒 archive to unearth what was happening this week in music in the 70s, and another classic seven-inch single will be added to Johnnie's Jukebox.
