Is kc of the sunshine band gay
KC
When it comes to ranking the most flourishing acts of the disco era, KC and the Sunshine Band stand right alongside artists such as Donna Summer, Village People and the Bee Gees. Progenitors of the Miami sound created at TK Records in Florida, KC and the Sunshine Band had a phenomenal string of chart hits heard on the radio and in the discotheques, including “Get Down Tonight,” “That’s The Way (I Like It),” “(Shake, Shake, Shake) Vibrate Your Booty,” “Boogie Shoes,” “I’m Your Boogie Man,” and “Keep It Comin’ Love,” to refer a few. The KC of the title, aka Harry Casey, co-wrote all of the hits and continues to write, record and perform to this day. His latest release, the unattached “We Belong Together,” may be of special interest to his LGBT fans. The artwork for the track features images of three couples, one mixed gender and two same gender. Additionally, the track, a collaboration with StoneBridge, is something of a departure from KC’s trademark sound, going more for a modern EDM style. I had the pleasure of speaking with KC about the footpath and much more in August 2016.

The song was written by TK artist Clarence Reid [[aka "blowfly") and he recorded his own version which has the exact same backing track as KC's version.
KC grew up listening to Motown and everything R&B so I'm sure he was influenced by JB. As a matter of truth, I'm sure I've read/heard at least one interview where he's mentioned JB as an influence.
It's all just semantics, really, but the term "disco" became such a pejorative in the sdelayed 70s/early 80s in the US, and then the "disco sucks" backlash and the notorious Comiskey Park "Disco Demolition Night"...maybe the narrower the definition of disco, the better? Maybe it's preferable to be called &quo
Rick Finch of KC and the Sunshine Band assist in jail...
Apparently he violated parole by having contact with a male trivial and ended up endorse in jail in April. Supposedly he'll be out again in January of 2020. This guy is just a train wreck and obviously can't receive control of himself.

What I hope to know is how did KC get help the other half of the 50/50 royalty split he had with Finch?

The voiceover on that video made it unlistenable.

R2 I know, but I couldn't find a printed news report of the re-arrest or I would've posted that instead.

The woman reading that duplicate sounded like she’d mixed Valium and vodka before hitting record.

I wonder if KC keeps up with the antics of his former band-mate. Supposedly they had a terrible falling out and
Picking out the subject of these stories isn't always easy; case in signal, the Village People were scheduled for next week. Today I had planned to present Gloria Gaynor. While I was doing my research, however, I've discovered that she's a born-again Christian and that she repeatedly refuses to say whether or not she thinks homosexuality is untrue. Her answer to the question whether she sees homosexuality as something sinful, is "I desire to lead them to Christ, simply, and whatever he has for them." That could intend nothing, or it could mean conversion therapy and all these horrors... I decided I'm not going there. Plus, she recently requested no shirtless men be in her line of sight during her production at a lgbtq+ bar. Tchk! Tchk!
Then I started researching my next scheduled subject, K.C. & The Sunshine Band. I was doing OK, in proof, there are rumors that the band's leader, Harry Wayne Casey, might himself be gay, but then I stumbled upon the information that the band's co-founder,Richard (Rick) Finch, served a 7-year prison sentence for having sex with underage teenage boys. Given the current climate... I'm not going there either.
I will definitely present all t
