Live Cream Volume II is the second live album by the British rock band Cream, released in March 1972 by Polydor Records (Atco Records in the US). This album contains six tracks recorded at various performances from 9 March to 4 October 1968. Reception Matthew Greenwald of AllMusic stated that Volume 2 had more songs on it than its predecessor, including two songs whose album versions were released as singles. He also commented on how the sound quality was some of the best at the time. He did not like, however, that there were not as many extended jams as there were on the predecessor and that Jack Bruce and Eric Clapton's singing is not good on "White Room" and "Sunshine of Your Love." Greenwald felt that the live version of "Deserted Cities of the Heart" is better than the studio version. "Steppin' Out" was used in the dramatic climax of Mean Streets (1973) directed by Martin Scorsese.

Wovoka is the fifth album by the American rock band Redbone. It was recorded between June and October 1973, and released in November 1973 on Epic Records. The album was produced by brothers Pat Vegas (bass, vocals) and Lolly Vegas (guitars, vocals), in addition to sound engineer Alex Kazanegras. It was the last Redbone album to feature Peter DePoe on drums. Wovoka was recorded with the help of multiple session musicians, including several additional backing vocalists. All main members of the band notably contributed to vocals. As with the band's other releases, Wovoka features songs with Native American themes; each of the band members at the time had either Native American or Mexican American heritage. Wovoka peaked on the US Billboard 200 at number 66 in 1974. The single "Come and Get Your Love" reached number five on the Billboard Hot 100. The single "We Were All Wounded at Wounded Knee" topped the Belgian and Dutch charts in 1973, but was absent from the American release after it was deemed too offensive for some audiences. Track listing LP The track "We Were All Wounded at Wounded Knee" was dropped from the US/Canadian release (KE 32462) due to its controversial theme. The song did appear on the European release (EPC 65500), and was moderately successful on the continent (see main Redbone entry). The LP version of "Come and Get Your Love" starts with a slow rendition of the chorus. This intro was cut from the single release. CD Released on the Columbia label in 1990, several edits were made to the album. The CD featured the single version of Come and Get Your Love; the track boundary on the short Chant Wovoka vocal was moved; and the last track 23rd and Mad was cut down. "Wovoka" (P. Vegas/L. Vegas) – 3:00 "Sweet Lady of Love" (L. Vegas) – 3:08 "Someday (A Good Song)" (P. Vegas/T. Bellamy) – 4:12 "Liquid Truth" (L. Vegas) – 5:03 "Come and Get Your Love" (L.

Then and Now was David Cassidy's 16th solo album, released in 2002. It became a big hit in the UK, where it reached #5 in the album charts and ultimately achieved Platinum sales status. It contained new recordings of songs previously released in other albums. The US version of the album moved away from the emphasis on David Cassidy's UK music career and featured a different track listing, one that was more reflective of his hits in the USA. Gone were the songs "Daydreamer", "I Write the Songs", "Some Kind Of A Summer", "If I Didn't Care" and "The Last Kiss". These were replaced with updated versions of Cassidy's recordings of "No Bridge I Wouldn't Cross (Young & Gifted Mix)" and The Partridge Family theme "C'mon, Get Happy" plus a new recording of the song "Do You Believe In Magic" which David had also performed in a Christmas television advertisement for the Mervyn's department store. The different versions of this album ensured both were eagerly sought after by fans worldwide.

Nice N' Wild, also known as Nice & Wild, was a U.S. freestyle music group that rose to fame in 1986 after their release of "Diamond Girl". Band members included David Torres, Reggie Pierre and Remy Palacios. Although these three bandmates "performed" the song publicly, they did not sing the original vocals for "Diamond Girl", rather lip syncing the song's vocals during performances. However, David Torres did sing the Spanish parts himself after completing vocal training. The final and original voice of “Diamond Girl” vocal track on the hit recording was performed by John Minnis (with David L Cook having sung the demo vocal). Because of mistitled videos on the internet, many believe that Stevie B is the original vocalist of the song, but that of course is false. The song was written and produced by Arthur Lammoglia and Joe Granda in 1986. "Diamond Girl" was featured on the band's debut full-length album, Energy, Love and Unity, released the following year (1987). The album also featured follow-up singles "Obsession" and "Oh Baby (I Want to Make Love Tonight)", which were less successful than the debut hit. Nearly a decade later, the band released a follow-up album, Infatuation, again featuring Minnis prominently as the lead vocalist, along with songwriting contributions from Granda, who also served as executive producer for the project. Despite the title track and a cover of the Bill Withers classic "Ain't No Sunshine" being released as singles, further commercial success proved elusive.

The Troubadour Reunion Tour was a 2010 international concert tour by Carole King and James Taylor. It celebrated the 40th anniversary of their first performance together at The Troubadour in November 1970, and was a continuation of their reunion at the Troubadour in November 2007. History The tour was announced on November 12, 2009. Over 50 dates were scheduled in Australia and New Zealand, Japan, and North America. The tour began on March 26, 2010 at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia. The touring band included the original support band from The Troubadour: Danny Kortchmar (guitar), Leland Sklar (bass) and Russ Kunkel (drums). Other members were Robbie Kondor (keyboards, piano, organ, accordion, chromatic harmonica), Arnold McCuller (vocals), Kate Markowitz (vocals) and Andrea Zonn (vocals and fiddle). For secondary ticket sales, for the week of January 24, 2010, it was estimated to be the best selling ticket event in the world, beating out even the Super Bowl. These ticket sales were based on sales from the TicketNetwork Exchange, the largest secondary ticket exchange in the world. This does not include primary ticket sellers such as Ticketmaster. The North America leg of the tour incorporated a stage design that included intimate nightclub-style seating. The proceeds from these seats benefit various charities. The Oceania leg of the tour was promoted by Michael Coppel, who was also promoting Lady Gaga's The Monster Ball Tour at the same time. Lady Gaga attended one of the Troubadour Reunion concerts in Sydney. The final performance of the tour was on July 20, 2010 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. In an interview with Carole King and James Taylor for Billboard Magazine, Taylor stated there will probably never be another Troubadour Reunion Tour. However, he mentioned that a European tour was possible. Tour dates Box office score data Set list One typical set list for the tour has been: First set "Blossom" "So Far Away" "Machine Gun Kelly" "Carolina in My Mind" "Sunshine Sunshine" "Smackwater Jack" "Country Road" "Where You Lead" "Your Smiling Face" "Song of Long Ago" → "Long Ago and Far Away" "Beautiful" "Shower the People" "Way Over Yonder" Second set "Copperline" "Crying in the Rain" "Mexico" "Sweet Baby James" "Jazzman" "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" "Steamroller Blues" "It's Too Late" "Fire and Rain" "I Feel the Earth Move" "You've Got a Friend" Encore "Up on the Roof" "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved by You)" "You Can Close Your Eyes" "The Loco-Motion" Other songs played included "Honey Don't Leave L.A.", "Sweet Seasons", and "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" (as the first-set closer). The second or third song of the second set was a "fan request" slot, taken from a web poll for that show from a constrained list and alternating between King and Taylor. Notes While in the beginning of the tour (until May 18, 2010) “The Loco-Motion" was the final song, in later concerts (starting on May 19, 2010) the final song was "You Can Close Your Eyes"

Cameron Thane Muncey (born 8 February 1980) is an Australian guitarist and vocalist. He is the mainstay lead guitarist and one of the songwriters of Melbourne-based rock band Jet which formed in 2001. Muncey co-wrote many of Jet's hits with Nic and Chris Cester, including "Are You Gonna Be My Girl", "Radio Song", "Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is" and "Cold Hard Bitch". Biography Muncey was born in Melbourne, and attended St Bedes College (high school) with future bandmates Nic and Chris Cester. Muncey took up guitar after hearing "Sunshine Of Your Love" by Cream. The song "Timothy" from "Get Born" was written about an older brother named Timothy who died in infancy before Muncey was born. Muncey and Nic Cester became best friends at school, with Cester declaring "He had 'Led Zeppelin' written on his bag, and so did I, so it was inevitable, I guess", on the band's documentary recorded on their DVD, Right! Right! Right!. Muncey's trademark guitar for Get Born was a Gibson Flying V, and he has used it in concert and in many of the videos. He has since switched to Gibson Les Pauls and SGs. Since Shaka Rock, Muncey mainly plays a Gibson ES137. Muncey uses Marshall amps as seen in the "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" video, as well as Orange Amplification as seen in the "Take it or Leave it" video. In the video for "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" he can be seen wearing an AC/DC T-shirt. In addition to playing lead guitar, Muncey sings lead vocals on a number of Jet's songs, including "Hey Kids", "Radio Song" and more recently "She Holds A Grudge". Muncey married his girlfriend Sarah Rumbelow, on 18 August 2009.

"Angel" is a song by English singer-songwriter Natasha Bedingfield for her second North American album Pocketful of Sunshine (2007). It was released as the album's third single in North America on 11 August 2008. The song was produced by Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, hence the "Darkchild forever" line at the beginning of the song, he also sings the chorus. The song is written in the key of B minor and set in time. Bedingfield's vocals range from F3 to C5. It utilizes a prominent spelling out of the word 'angel' as its hook. In the song, Bedingfield sings of being a guardian angel of sorts for her companion, stating in the chorus, "I'll be your A-N-G-E-L." On 18 September 2008 she performed the song live on America's Got Talent. This song is featured in the rhythmic, singing video game Boogie Superstar, but only as the Moto Blanco Club Remix and as an online exclusive song. Critical reception Chris Williams of Billboard praised "Angel", noting that it takes on "a decidedly more urban slant", and saying, "Vocally, Bedingfield has no difficulty adjusting to the production, confidently delivering with sass and swagger." He also thought the track would do well, claiming, "With angelic harmonies throughout, a catchy chorus with a fun spell-out of "a-n-g-e-l" and a sing-rap bridge, Bedingfield is on her way again to the airwaves' high heavens." Chart performance "Angel" debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at #93, the chart week of 4 October 2008. It has debuted on the Pop 100 at #91, and has climbed to #35. Since its release date it has been one of the most added tracks at U.S. Mainstream Top 40 radio. It has already climbed to #25 on BDS CHR/Top 40 chart. The song debuted at #96 on the Canadian Hot 100 and peaked at #41. Music video Phil Griffin shot the music video for the song. The video features Bedingfield in several different rooms and outfits, with multiple versions of her suddenly appearing and then disappearing.

DeVotchKa is an American four-piece multi-instrumental and vocal ensemble. They take their name from the Russian word devochka (девочка), meaning "girl". Based in Denver, Colorado, the quartet is made up of Nick Urata, who sings and plays theremin, guitar, bouzouki, piano, and trumpet; Tom Hagerman, who plays violin, accordion, and piano; Jeanie Schroder, who sings and plays sousaphone, double bass, and flute; and Shawn King, who plays percussion and trumpet. History Originally a backing band for burlesque shows, in their early years DeVotchKa also toured with burlesque performer and model Dita Von Teese. Numerous nationwide tours in support of self-released records earned the band an underground following. Their song "How It Ends", from the 2004 album of the same name, introduced the band to a wider audience after being featured in the trailer for Everything Is Illuminated, in a 2008 Gears of War 2 trailer called "The Last Day", and in an episode of Everwood. "How It Ends" reached Number 101 in the UK Singles Charts. Their performance at the 2006 Bonnaroo music festival was considered a breakout event. In 2006, Arcade Fire singer Win Butler suggested to DeVotchKa that they arrange the Siouxsie and the Banshees song "The Last Beat of My Heart". The musicians found the idea interesting and they recorded that song for 2006's Curse Your Little Heart EP. In between tours, the band was picked by first time film directors Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris to score Little Miss Sunshine, a 2006 film that would go on to garner four Academy Award nominations. DeVotchKa, along with composer Mychael Danna, composed and performed the majority of the music for the film's soundtrack and were nominated for a 2006 Grammy Award for Best Compilation Soundtrack. The main song, "The Winner Is", was also used in a commercial by the French-based environment and energy company Suez and the Dutch pension fund PGGM. Their 2008 album, A Mad & Faithful Telling, reached No. 9 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart and No. 29 on the Top Independent Albums chart. "New World" and "Head Honcho" were featured in a season 4 episode of the Showtime television show Weeds. In 2008, Boston newspaper The Phoenix named them the Best New Band from Colorado. The band supported Muse at the Stade de France on June 12, 2010, playing to over 80,000 people. The band's newest album, This Night Falls Forever, was released on August 24, 2018, via Concord Records. On July 13, 2018, DeVotchKa released "Straight Shot", which is the first track on the album.

Dance Nation is a Dutch Electronic Dance Music formation founded in 2001 by songwriters, producers and DJs Rob Janssen & Brad Grobler. Dutch singers and performers Sean & Kim are the live act fronting Dance Nation since their first and highly successful single "Sunshine". Biography Early years (2001-2003) Dance Nation released their debut single 'Sunshine' in 2001. This was followed by singles such as "Dance", "Words", and "You Take Me Away". In 2004, they switched to the name "Double Nation" due to legal proceedings. In 2003, they also collaborated with The Lovestern Galaktika Project for the single "My First Love". 2003-2005 In this period, following the label crisis Noculan Music (after inglobed into Jamie Lewis by his Purple Eye Entertainment), that struck not only Dance Nation, but also other trance artists such as Noémi and 666 and the general mutation of the music genres in Europe, going House, Hard House and Elektro, lead Dance Nation to land in Japan, where they still have a great deal of success and their production focused in the last years. From this moment on, the group had a sort of split life, releasing Trance projects for Japanese market and House ones for the European one. In this climate born singles like "Beachtime" in Japan and "I'm Gonna Get You" and the House/Elektro track "Move Your Love" in Europe. It's because their production are more Asian based than European, that it is difficult to find their releases outside Japan, both in online and retail stores and it's because of that too that no one knows about the release of two albums and a compilation. Titles are Trance Champion, released in 2005 by the Japanese label Avex Productions, containing all the past-released singles, including "Celebrate Your Life", that, listening to some people, should have been the next single; One Nation in 2007 always by the same label; and Christmas Trance in winter 2006, including a lot of popular Christmas melodies rearranged in Trance style, like Dance Nation always did. 2006 - 2021 Just before summer 2006 Dance Nation released their single "Ridin' High", which confirmed a general move towards House music sounds of the European market. An album was going to be produced too, with an undisclosed release date, containing some remixes of their first single, "Sunshine". Remixes were being collected from their numerous fans all over the world but sadly such a remix Lp never happened. Continuing the house music sound in 2007 they released the single 'Move Your Love', a collaborative rework of the popular year 2000 released 'On The Move' by Barthezz. It was not until two years later that new material were published in the form of the two compilation albums 'Vocal Trance Years 2001-2004 // 2004-2009'. Compilations containing the early singles, 'Move Your Love' as well as additional singles in the form of 'Celebrate Your Life', 'Reach For The Light' and 'I'm Gonna Get You'. In addition popular tracks such as 'Fired Up', 'Lovin Arms' and 'Summer Rain'. 2010 saw the

"Hold Me Up" is the debut solo single by Australian singer Conrad Sewell. It was released on 3 March 2015 and taken from his debut extended play, All I Know. The song is co-written and co-produced by Sewell and Brian Lee (who has previously worked with Lady Gaga and Icona Pop), The Euroz and Louis Bell. The song was released in Australia on 3 March 2015 and peaked at number 39 on the ARIA Singles Chart. The track was released in the United Kingdom on 24 July. The remixes were released on 20 November. Background Sewell moved from Brisbane to Los Angeles to work on his music and in late 2014, provided the vocals on Kygo’s 2014 tropical house hit "Firestone". On March 2, 2015 Sewell announced his opening slot on Ed Sheeran's 13-date Australian X tour throughout March and April via a video posted on his Facebook page. "Hold Me Up" was released the next day. "Hold Me Up" emerged from a late-night, free-form session in the studio. Sewell said; "I’ve been doing this thing lately where I set up a mic live, put on some reverb so I feel like I’m singing in front of people, put on a track and just flow a melody over it. It’s been hard for me to get up-tempo songs, because I love nothing more than sitting at the piano and melting your heart—that’s definitely what I’ll tend to do in a writing situation. So when that one came, it was just a fun track that you can dance, drive, sing to, and we can worry about the serious stuff later." Music video The monochrome video features Sewell, chilling out and enjoying life down by the beach. The video was released on 12 May 2015. Reviews Mike Wass from Idolator said ‘Hold Me Up’ is a "soulful, vaguely disco-tinged pop anthem" and is a huge song with an instantly hummable chorus". Madison Vain of Entertainment Weekly called the song "an upbeat, anthemic, just-about-impossible-to-not-get-swept-away-in pop track." AuspOp said ‘Hold Me Up’ is "effortlessly cool, eternally optimistic, vocally impressive and filled with enough pop sunshine to brighten even the greyest of days."

Released in June 1973, it was the last Partridge Family album to chart in the US, entering Billboard's Top LP's chart in July and peaking at no. 167 in its second of just five weeks in the Top 200.

Look at Love is an album by the Jamaican musician Judy Mowatt, released in 1991. Mowatt supported the album with a North American tour. Production The album was produced by Sly and Robbie and Michael Bennett. After realizing that she could tour successfully without new music to promote, Mowatt took her time thinking about the album and selecting its songs. Many of the songs touch on themes of female equality and empowerment. "Watchdogs" is a cover of the UB40 song. Groovin' is a cover of the Young Rascals song. "Jah Love" is a cover of the Bob Marley song; "Jah Love" is the song that Marley asked the I-Threes to sing at their audition for him. Critical reception The Gazette determined that "there's little to recommend Look at Love unless your tastes are reggae MOR." The Washington Post noted that, "despite its pop ambitions and the dance hall grooves carved out by producers Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare, there's no mistaking the album's inspirational and feminist bent." The Chicago Tribune stated that Mowatt "never loses sight of the classic reggae sound or its concern for socially conscious messages." The Star Tribune thought that the album "finds her moving closer to a pop sound." The St. Louis Post-Dispatch concluded that the album "presses Mowatt's search for a fusion between reggae and contemporary American black music... She uses heavily electronic percussion beats with a pervasive undercurrent of hip-hop." AllMusic wrote: "Breezy seems a word tailor-made for Judy Mowatt, and her sweet vocals, bouncy delivery, and bright as sunshine optimism make Look at Love an upbeat charmer."

United We Stand is the debut album by The Brotherhood of Man. It was released in 1970 on Deram. Background Songwriter and producer Tony Hiller formed The Brotherhood of Man in 1969 from a selection of session-singers and songwriters. Originally a five-member group (although they became a quartet soon after), they began recording and writing together with the resultant first single "Love One Another" being released late in the year. The single failed to chart anywhere, but early in 1970, the second single "United We Stand" became a major hit worldwide. Encouraged by this, the group, with Hiller as producer, began putting together an album. Along with a third single, the hit "Where are You Going to My Love", United We Stand was released. Despite the last two singles charting in the UK, the album met with little British success when it was released in August. In the US (released two months earlier), the album reached a peak of #168, spending eight weeks on the Billboard Hot 200. The style of songs on this album was very much of its time, with an overall optimistic slant to the lyrics and sound – later reviewers commenting on its "hippy vibe". Many of the tracks from this album were later released on a compilation CD also titled United We Stand in 1998. In February 2008, the album with its original track listing order and cover was released on CD for the first time. Added to this however were 13 bonus tracks, giving it the feel of a compilation. Some of these bonus tracks were actually by the group's female members as the duo Sue and Sunny. Track listing Side one "Love Is a Good Foundation" (Ralph Murphy) – 2:48 "Say a Prayer" (Peter Simons, Tony Hiller) – 3:11 "A Little Bit of Heaven" (Simons, Hiller) – 2:35 "For the Rest of Our Lives" (Chris Arnold, David Martin, Geoff Morrow, John Goodison, Hiller) – 3:09 "Sing in the Sunshine" (Hiller, Goodison) – 2:07 "Where Are You Going to My Love" (Billy Day, Mike Leslie, Goodison, Hiller) – 3:20 Side two "For Old Times Sake" (Tony Waddington, Wayne Bickerton) – 3:00 "Living in the Land of Love" (Tony Burrows, Goodison, Hiller) – 3:19 "Too Many Heartaches" (Simons, Hiller) – 3:22 "Love One Another" (Simons, Hiller) – 3:41 "United We Stand" (Simons, Hiller) – 2:52 2008 CD re-issue bonus tracks "This Boy" "You Can Depend on Me" "Ain't That Tellin' You People" "Didn't I Blow Your Mind" "Reach out Your Hand" "A Better Tomorrow" "Freedom" "Break Up" "You and I" "California Sunday Morning" "Do Your Thing" "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" "High on the Thought of You" Personnel Tony Burrows – vocals Sue Glover – vocals Sunny Leslie – vocals John Goodison – vocals Roger Greenaway – vocals Tony Hiller – producer Cy Payne – Musical Director Terry Johnson – Engineer Stephen Brown – Assistant engineer H.

Michael Wayne Watford (July 20, 1959 – January 26, 2024) was an American dance music singer, who was born in Virginia and raised in New Jersey. He was best known for his gospel-influenced vocals on house records throughout the 1990s and 2000s. Biography Watford was born in Suffolk, Virginia, on July 20, 1959, and was raised in Newark, New Jersey. His mother was a minister in the African Methodist Episcopal Church and a gospel singer, and Watford's early musical experiences came from singing in church. Watford's first single, "Holdin' On", was released in 1991. Four of his singles charted on the United States Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart in the mid-1990s, including "So into You" which hit number one in 1994. The same track peaked at No. 53 on the UK Singles Chart. Watford's career faltered after 1995, when he was dropped by his label, East West Records, amid administrative turnover. He withdrew from his performing career in the years afterward, running karaoke bars in Newark before a stint working at a welfare office, though he harbored interest in returning to music. Watford died from dementia at a hospital in Newark on January 26, 2024, at the age of 64.

The Fun Sessions is the 8th studio album by Dread Zeppelin, and the first made with Imago Records. It is described as “Tortelvis sings the classics”, where “classics” are songs from the late-1960s and early-1970s particularly loved by the band. The album title is a wordplay on Elvis's The Sun Sessions. This album brings the band away from Led Zeppelin covers, like they did with It's Not Unusual, which was criticized by many fans because of its disco style and Tortelvis was not singing on it. At the time of release, Dread Zeppelin had covered most of Led Zeppelin's successful songs; they have now produced more albums than the band they mostly cover. Only two of the original band members, Tortelvis and Butt Boy, are still in the band for this album. Unlike all previous albums, this album was not produced by Jah Paul Jo. Most of the original band members do make "special guest appearance" (Carl Jah on guitar, Rasta-mon and Ed Zeppelin on vocal).

"Alice Everyday" is the eighth single released by the American synth-pop band Book of Love. The song was released prior to the band's third album, 1991's Candy Carol, as the first single. "Alice Everyday" was released to radio in the fall of 1990 and features sing-song lyrics and a refrain consisting of a laundry list of girls' names. In the dance clubs, the song was a moderate hit, and made it to no. 21 on the Hot Dance Club Play chart, spending nine weeks on the chart. The track was remixed for the 12" single and CD single into three different remixes by Ben Grosse, and was released in stores on Jan. 18, 1991. All three remixes were also edited down into single mixes and released on the promo CD. "Alice Everyday" (Sam The Butcher Mix) contains samples from The Brady Bunch TV series, a drumbeat sample from Nitzer Ebb's "Let Your Body Learn", and other industrial music samples. Also appearing on the single are the album version of title track "Candy Carol" and a 1990 remix by Ben Grosse of "With A Little Love", a song originally on the band's previous album, 1988's Lullaby. A promotional video was shot and released for "Alice Everyday" by director Rocky Schenck. There are two versions of the video; one that uses the album version of "Alice Everyday" and the other, the 'Everyday-Glo Mix' version of the song. The video emulates the Candy Carol album cover, with the band dancing and performing inside of snow globes and wearing outfits similar to the album cover.

KC and the Sunshine Band is an American disco and funk band that was founded in 1973 in Hialeah, Florida. Their best-known songs include the hits "Get Down Tonight", "That's the Way (I Like It)", "(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty", "I'm Your Boogie Man", "Keep It Comin' Love", "Boogie Shoes", "Please Don't Go", and "Give It Up". The band took its name from lead vocalist Harry Wayne Casey's last name ('KC') and the 'Sunshine Band' from KC's home state of Florida, the Sunshine State. The group had five number one singles on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the 1970s. History 1970s The band was formed in 1973 by Harry Wayne Casey (KC) and Richard Finch. Casey was a record store employee and part-timer at TK Records in Hialeah, Florida The band was originally called KC & The Sunshine Junkanoo Band because KC used studio musicians from TK and a local Junkanoo band called the Miami Junkanoo Band. Meantime, bassist Richard Finch had been engineering records for TK, which is how the Casey-Finch musical collaboration began. They were soon joined by guitarist Jerome Smith 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. In the meantime, while working on demos for KC & the Sunshine Band, the song "Rock Your Baby" (George McCrae) was created. Written by Casey and Finch, it featured Smith on guitar and became a number one hit in 51 countries in mid-1974. The band's "Queen of Clubs", which featured uncredited vocals by McCrae, was a hit in the UK, peaking at number 7, and they went on a tour there in 1975. KC and other band members were frequent guests on WHYI-FM, branded as Y-100, one of southeast Florida's more powerful FM pop stations, that covered Dade and Broward Counties and beyond. This gave the band significant hometown exposure, during the rise of the disco genre in one of the music's epicenters. With the release of the self-titled second album KC and the Sunshine Band 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. "That's the Way (I Like It)" also became a number one hit in November 1975 and the group received four nominations and one win at the 1976 Grammy Awards. The 1976 album Part 3 yielded two number one singles: "I'm Your Boogie Man" and "(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty". Another hit, "Keep It Comin' Love"(1977), peaked at number two. Their success lasted until the fifth album from 1979; their last chart topping hit was "Please Don't Go", hitting number one for one week in January 1980, and becoming the first number one hit of the 1980s.

20 Golden Greats is a 1977 compilation album by Diana Ross & the Supremes, released on the Motown label in the United Kingdom. The release spent seven weeks at number one on the UK Albums Chart, selling over 1,000,000 copies. Despite the album's title and that Ross & the Supremes had scored 21 UK chart hit singles, the compilation included two tracks that had never been hit singles in the UK: "My World Is Empty Without You" and "Love Is Like an Itching in My Heart", which were top 10 hits on the US Hot 100. All the other 18 tracks had made the UK singles chart. The three other hits scored by the group in partnership with The Temptations, were all excluded. Motown expanded the track list to include hits from The Supremes after Ross left the trio in 1970, also including her solo work up to 1981, for the 1998 40 Golden Motown Greats CD. The same album artwork was used and this collection earned a gold disc for sales exceeding 100,000 copies.

Timothy James Rice-Oxley (born 2 June 1976) is an English musician, best known for being the keyboardist, backing vocalist and songwriter of the alternative rock band Keane. In 2010, he formed a side-project, Mt. Desolation, with his Keane bandmate Jesse Quin. Life and career Timothy James Rice-Oxley was born in Oxford to Charles Patrick and Margaret Rice-Oxley. He has a younger brother, Tom, born in 1979. He had piano lessons when he was a teenager but admitted to hating them and never practising pieces because they were all classical music, which he found boring. After his parents stopped his lessons, Rice-Oxley developed a liking for piano and so taught himself how to play, mainly because of the Beatles. Keane Rice-Oxley provides live and studio backing vocals for Keane, except for the studio songs "Sunshine", "This Is the Last Time" (demo version) and "Your Love" where he sings the lead vocals, as well as some Under the Iron Sea DVD and Perfect Symmetry demos. Compositions In 2006, Rice-Oxley co-wrote the songs "Early Winter", and "The Girl Inside" (unreleased) on Gwen Stefani's second solo album, The Sweet Escape. "Early Winter" has been performed by Keane live. The song "Perfect Symmetry" from the album of the same name is considered by Chaplin to be one of the best Rice-Oxley has written. In 2009, he co-wrote the song "Everything Is Beautiful" for Kylie Minogue's eleventh studio album, Aphrodite. Rice-Oxley composed all the songs for the side-project Mt. Desolation with Jesse Quin in 2010. That same year Rice-Oxley provided the main vocal in Keane for the first time on the song "Your Love", which appeared on the experimental EP Night Train. He sang the song live. In 2013, he co-wrote the song "Jump" with Gary Barlow for the latter's solo album, Since I Saw You Last. In 2016 he co-wrote the song "Magnificent Time" by Travis. Mt. Desolation Mt. Desolation is an alt-country side-project that Rice-Oxley formed with bassist Jesse Quin. The band also consists of members of Mumford & Sons, The Killers and The Staves. Mt. Desolation released their self-titled debut album on 18 October 2010. The band toured the UK and Ireland in September 2010 and the US and Canada in October 2010. The band's second album, When the Night Calls, was released on 25 May 2018. It was followed by a short tour of the UK in June 2018. Personal life Rice-Oxley lives in Polegate, East Sussex. He has two daughters, Lilac and Anna. Reportedly, the effects of touring took their toll on Rice-Oxley's marriage to Jayne, and they split up in 2012 after seven years of marriage. Awards Rice-Oxley won an Ivor Novello Award for Songwriter of the Year in May 2005.

"Medley: Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In (The Flesh Failures)" (commonly called "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In", "The Age of Aquarius" or "Let the Sunshine In") is a medley of two songs written for the 1967 musical Hair by James Rado and Gerome Ragni (lyrics), and Galt MacDermot (music), released as a single by American R&B group the 5th Dimension. The song spent six weeks at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart in the spring of 1969 and was eventually certified platinum in the US by the RIAA. Instrumental backing was written by Bill Holman and provided by session musicians commonly known as the Wrecking Crew. The actual recording was novel at the time, being recorded in two cities, Los Angeles and Las Vegas, and being mixed down to a final version later. The song is listed at number 66 on Billboards "Greatest Songs of All Time". History The recording was led by veteran American producer and engineer Bones Howe, who had previously worked with the 5th Dimension as well as the Mamas & the Papas and Elvis Presley. As Howe tells it, the recording can be traced to an incident in which 5th Dimension lead singer Billy Davis Jr. left his wallet in a New York City cab; the man who found the wallet was involved in the production of Hair and invited the group to see the show: "After they'd seen it I received a phone call in which they were all talking over one another, saying 'We've got to cut this song "Aquarius". It's the best thing ever.'" Howe was skeptical ("This isn't a complete song. It's an introduction."), but after seeing the show on stage got the idea to create a medley with another musical moment from the show, a few bars from the song "The Flesh Failures" that consist of the repeated words "let the sunshine in." Although the two song fragments are in different keys and tempos, Howe resolved to "jam them together like two trains." The instrumental track was set to tape at Wally Heider's Studio 3 in Hollywood by the Wrecking Crew members including Hal Blaine on drums, Joe Osborn on bass, Larry Knechtel on keyboards, Tommy Tedesco and Dennis Budimir on guitars and Tony Terran on trumpet. It also featured strings, winds, and brass instrumentations. However, the vocals were recorded separately in Las Vegas, where the 5th Dimension was performing at the time, using only two microphones for the five singers. Davis' solo during "Let the Sunshine In" was improvised during the session; songwriter Jimmy Webb, who happened into the studio during the recording, remarked to Howe, "My God, that's a number one record." Among the counterpoint phrases sung by Davis are: "Oh, let it shine", "Open up your heart", "You got to feel it" and "I want you to sing along with the 5th Dimension". This song was one of the most popular songs of 1969 worldwide, and in the United States it reached the number one position

Floy Joy is the twenty-fifth studio album released by The Supremes on the Motown label. This was the only Supremes album solely produced and arranged by Smokey Robinson and included the U.S. top 20 hit, "Floy Joy" and the U.S. top 40 hit, "Automatically Sunshine", both of which were top 10 hits in the U.K. Overview Following the aborted album Promises Kept, Motown handed-over production duties for the Supremes to in-house songwriter, producer, artist, and company vice-president William "Smokey" Robinson. At this time the group included original Supreme Mary Wilson, Cindy Birdsong, and Jean Terrell. Appearing on the album cover alongside Terrell and Wilson was new member Lynda Laurence, brought in to replace Cindy Birdsong, who was noticeably pregnant at the time of the photo shoot. Despite appearing on the album cover, Laurence's vocals are not on the album. Floy Joy marks for the first time that Mary Wilson had several leads on an album. Wilson takes solo lead on the ballad "A Heart Like Mine." Wilson and Terrell trade-off lead vocals on "Floy Joy" and "Automatically Sunshine", whilst Terrell has sole lead on the album's third single, "Your Wonderful, Sweet Sweet Love". Cindy Birdsong provides a rare co-lead vocal on "Now the Bitter, Now the Sweet" and a spoken passage in "The Wisdom of Time". The "Floy Joy" single was the Supremes' final Top 20 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, reaching as high as #9 in the UK. Its follow-ups, "Automatically Sunshine" and "Your Wonderful, Sweet Sweet Love" were not as successful, with "Automatically Sunshine" peaking at 37 on the Billboard Hot 100, 21 on the Top Soul Singles and being the group's final Top 10 hit in the U.K. (#10, the fifth in little over two years for the post-Ross line-up), and "Your Wonderful, Sweet Sweet Love" peaking at 59 on the Billboard Hot 100 and 21 on the Top Soul Singles, and missing the UK Charts altogether. Mary Wilson praised Robinson in her second auto-biography "Supreme Faith" for finding a good vocal blend between she, Terrell and Birdsong. However, on the back cover of the album, Robinson listed Motown's in-house backing vocalists The Andantes for contributing to the set. In fact, the Andantes are audible in the background vocals partially or in full on all but one track, Precious Little Things, which only features Wilson and Birdsong behind Terrell.

The Sunshine of Your Youth is the debut album by American indie pop band Cheerleader, released in 2015 by Bright Antenna Records. The album release was supported by a nationwide tour with UK act The Wombats. Critical reception Spin wrote that the album "showcases a series of fizzy, blurry-eyed tracks: 'A Million Ways' combines dream-rock guitar riffs with sugary-sweet melodies, while the whimsically synthy 'Dreamer' glides into shoegaze territory with frontman Joe Haller’s lo-fi vocals at the forefront." The Saratogian wrote that "the band stays true to their sunny, optimistic name throughout, delivering a record full of hope, wonder, and undeniable warmth."

"Sunshine" is a song by American rapper Latto from her second studio album 777 (2022). It features American rappers Lil Wayne and Childish Gambino. Produced by Ant Clemons, BongoByTheWay, Luke Crowder, and Mike Dean, the song was sent to US rhythmic contemporary radio on April 26, 2022, as the album's fourth single. Background Latto told Apple Music about how the collaboration came about: I still can't even believe that I got them both on the song. I had originally recorded it as a solo song, but I felt like it was bigger than me. I wanted a feature on it. So, I'm thinking out loud. I'm thinking of very "artistic" artists. I want somebody who has a universal sound and someone who can go more in-depth and play on the word "sunshine". Who is the clever rapper? I'm thinking of these names and I'm shooting for the stars. And to my surprise, both of them did the song request, which is like huge, huge, huge. I'm still a new artist. I'm from Atlanta, so Childish is extra special, and I just grew up on Wayne. In an interview with Complex, Latto said that they did not record in the studio together; instead, her team sent the song to her collaborators. She added, "I was pretty much just shooting for the stars, like, 'I hope they can do it. If not, no pressure. I understand.' But they both actually sent verses back, so that was super cool. A Childish Gambino verse is rare as hell anyway, so that was super dope within itself. And then Wayne is just a GOAT, so that's super dope, too. To be stamped by them at this early stage in my career, it meant a lot." Composition Latto has described the song's musical style as "hood gospel"; in that same interview with Complex, she stated, It's very artistic. It's a fresh sound, fresh topic. It feels good. I personally think this sound on "Sunshine" could be a movie soundtrack, or on a TV show. It just feels so good. I could see it being background music for so many different scenes, and I think it's very commercial. Your grandma can listen to it or your ratchet cousin that stays in the hood. The production of the song contains brass and backing choir vocals. Lyrically, "Sunshine" focuses on the artists' successes as they challenge their enemies. In the chorus, Latto half-sings and half-raps about people who were disloyal to her during her come-up: "Pray for my enemies, Lord, I need clarity / They ain't got empathy for me, they stare at me / They used my couch when they needed the therapy / Took what they needed but never took care of me / They saw a dollar sign, treat me like currency / Kill all they hopes and dreams if they want murder me / Sunshine on me".

The lyrics were by Leonard Cooke and the music by Lilian Ray. It became a top ten hit on the UK Singles Chart in 1980, sung by Mike Berry. Lyrics The following lyrics are taken from the sheet music published in 1913: Verse 1: Dear face that holds so sweet a smile for me, Were you not mine, how dark the world would be! I know no light above that could replace Love's radiant sunshine in your dear, dear face. Refrain: Give me your smile, the love-light in your eyes, Life could not hold a fairer Paradise! Give me the right to love you all the while, My world for ever, the sunshine of your smile! Verse 2: Shadows may fall upon the land and sea, Sunshine from all the world may hidden be; But I shall see no cloud across the sun; Your smile shall light my life, till life is done! Refrain: Give me your smile, the love-light in your eyes, Life could not hold a fairer Paradise! Give me the right to love you all the while, My world for ever, the sunshine of your smile!

The tones he captured during this era are really amazing. [...] Eric was mainly using a Soldano SLO-100 amp head giving him a very saturated blues tone". Fellow guitar slinger Joe Bonamassa recalled a great Journeyman show, he saw as a teenager and also liked the way Eric Clapton made things sound at the time, calling Eric Clapton's Journeyman tone "one of the best tones Clapton has ever had".

Samira Manners (born 9 July 2000), is a bilingual British-Swedish singer-songwriter. Samira has an English father and a Swedish mother. She learnt her first English in pre-school in Southern England and grew up speaking English at home in Sweden. She signed to Cardiac Records / Sony Music Sweden in 2020 and has since released 8 singles. She participated in Melodifestivalen 2022 with the song "I Want to Be Loved". She performed in Heat 2 on 12 February 2022, finishing in fourth place in the phone vote, fifth place overall, and failing to qualify. She performed onstage with her band: Alice Castell (bass), Kajsa Westergren (drums), and Agnes Roslund (guitar). Career Samira studied at Lund's Dance and Musical Gymnasium (LDMG) 2016-2019, Malmö Academy of Music 2021-2022, and Folkhögskolan Skurup and Fridhem Malmö since 2022.

Single Releases "Do It All Again": 15 May 2020. Video by Benjamin Zadig (Eremit Produktion). 'Pop professor' journalist Jan Gradvall reviewing for TV4 morning news program described the single as "A 19 year old Swedish debutante named Samira Manners who has an English father who colours her perfect English. Excellent, I think." Lucas Palmans reviewing for Dansende beren stated that “Do It All Again” is a perfect example of an oasis of peace, but Samira knows how to give it her own twist. The song starts quietly with an acoustic guitar, while the young singer immediately puts her beautiful voice in the spotlight. She seems to put her soul on the table, singing about love. Many new elements are added throughout the song. For example, synths provide a euphoric effect and the percussion gives a slightly bombastic impression. Bombastic in its intimacy, that is, because “Do It All Again” puts a smile on our faces. In any case, we are already impressed by her voice and the soothing atmosphere that the young lady knows how to create." "Hard To Love": 30 October 2020. Because of the Covid-19 restrictions, the video was made by Samira Manners herself. Lucas Palmans reviewing for Dansende beren stated that the atmosphere of “Hard To Love” "became one for the campfire on a pleasant evening. An acoustic guitar creates a nice atmosphere, while the Swedish one enchants you with her powerful voice. The song is an alternation between insecurities and straightening your back. For example, she wonders if it is difficult to love her because of her outspoken opinions and such, but in the end she is very satisfied with herself. A nice meaning and a nice song, especially when some backing vocals are added towards the end." "Last Christmas

She then went on to release solo material, including the top-five single "It's Alright" and the top-20 album Imagination (1996), which sold more than 55,000 copies worldwide. A remix album, which included brand-new tracks, became Remix Your Imagination. Her third studio album was titled Water for Chocolate, which was released on 19 August 2006 and features the singles "Water for Chocolate", "Son of a Preacher Man" and "5 Days of Rain". In 2007, Hines recorded a successful jazz album with Australian jazz artist James Morrison. The pair toured Australia to sold-out shows.

Music career 1985–1993: Career launch, The Rockmelons and Jesus Christ Superstar Hines was born in Sydney, New South Wales, and was inspired by her mother's success as a singer to follow a career in show business. She was discovered by a friend when she was singing to the radio and then was encouraged to pursue singing as a career.

Sunshine is an album by American girl group the Emotions, released in November 1977 by Stax Records. The album reached No. 39 on the Billboard Top Soul Albums chart. The Emotions covered Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine" and Carla Thomas' "Gee Whiz (Look at His Eyes)" on the album. Critical reception Andrew Hamilton of AllMusic wrote: "Sunshine has some excellent cuts and some that don't quite fit the Chicagoans' style." John Storm Roberts of High Fidelity wrote: "Fantasy Records has begun reissuing some of the old Stax catalog, and "Sunshine" is part of that venture-a bunch of singles backed by Stax house musicians, none of them previously released on albums. The result is pure and amazingly cohesive joy. Without once departing from the classic framework of female group rhythm & blues, "Sunshine" is as rich and varied as anything I've heard in months. With only one exception, Any Way You Look at It, every number positively drips with tasty touches in arrangement, singing. and playing." With a 3.5 out of 5 stars rating John Shearlaw of Record Mirror exclaimed "Old Emotions, new Emotions-they're just as good." Phyl Garland of Stereo Review commented: "Sunshine sounds amazingly fresh. Vocal artistry prevails over background effects as the Emotions weave their way in and out of cool, melodious songs." Singles The song "Shouting Out Love" peaked at No. 31 on the Billboard Hot Soul Songs chart.

The song was written by Bedingfield, Kingston, Louis Biancaniello, Rico Love, Ryan Tedder, Sam Watters, and Wayne Wilkins, while production was handled by Biancaniello, Love, Tedder, and Watters under their production group, the Runawayz. Its lyrics discuss finding love with a person who has "been there all your life and has always loved you, but you've never noticed it until now". The official remix features vocals from rapper Lil Wayne and a slightly different beat, produced by Jim Jonsin. The song was released in North America on 2 October 2007 to mixed reviews from critics. It was released in the United Kingdom and Ireland on 7 April 2008. The song was a commercial success, reaching the top 20 on the majority of the charts it entered, and topped the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart in the United States. On 12 March 2008, "Love Like This" was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. Background In 2007, Bedingfield began writing and recording new material for her second North American album Pocketful of Sunshine. Producer J. R. Rotem had been working with Bedingfield on the album. Rotem introduced Bedingfield to reggae pop singer/rapper Sean Kingston, who was also recording with Rotem. Bedingfield decided to work with Kingston because she "just Liked his thing". In an interview with Digital Spy, she said that she respected rappers and seemed to "have a little thing with rappers" since she had previously worked with Estelle, Eve and Bizarre from D12. Composition The song was written by Bedingfield, Kingston, Wayne Wilkins, Louis Biancaniello, Rico Love, Ryan Tedder from the band OneRepublic, and Sam Watters—an original member of American R&B group Color Me Badd. It was also produced by Biancaniello, Love, Tedder, and Watters together as the Runawayz. The song is composed in the key of F major and set in common time. Bedingfield's vocals span from C4 to F5. The Auto Tune effect is heard in a few parts of the song. In the song, Bedingfield discusses finding love with a person who has always "been there all your life", but that "you've never noticed it until now". According to her, it is all about realizing how that person is actually the "love of your life". Critical reception "Love Like This" received mixed reviews from critics. Chuck Taylor in a review for Billboard described the song as a "jaunty, youthful track that clears home base and should propel Nat forward", while Chris Boeckmann of Stylus Magazine called it "useless" and a "dud". Michael Slezak of Entertainment Weekly found the song left him "feeling absolutely nothing". Slezak was unimpressed with the pairing of Bedingfield and Kingston, writing "it's as if two people who I'm not entirely convinced can sing got together and recorded a heavily focus-grouped song, then

Rarities from the Capitol Vaults is a compilation album by Australian-American pop singer Helen Reddy that was released in 2009 by EMI Music Special Markets and boasts 10 previously unreleased songs (tracks 1-10) as well as two lesser-known recordings. Reception Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic writes, "The biggest surprise here is that a fair number of the unreleased songs tend to have a prominent backbeat -- usually some sort of play on disco, but 'Tell Jack' is a pretty terrific slice of Elton John-styled glam rock."

The Blues Busters was a vocal duo from Jamaica formed in 1960, consisting of Philip James (9 March 1941 – 1989) and Lloyd Osbourne Campbell (31 December 1941 – 1992). The Blues Busters was the most consistently popular Jamaican male duo of the early 1960s, and among the Jamaican artists who performed at the 1964 New York World's Fair. They initially worked in cabaret shows to tourists in Kingston and Jamaica's north coast, but got their big break when they were asked to accompany Sam Cooke on his tour of the island in March, 1961. Taking inspiration from Cooke, on returning to the cabaret circuit they emulated the soulful harmonies of his performances and recorded a number of soul and reggae cover versions, having minor hits with "Thinking" and "Privilege". They continued until the mid-1980s, by which time they had released several albums, one of which was a tribute to Cooke. In the late 1960s the pair moved to New York City. There James reportedly died from asthma at age 47 in 1989, and Campbell from a heart attack at age 50 in 1992. The duo are buried with one grave between them in the Pye River Cemetery in Montego Bay, Jamaica, the city of their births. In 2015 Campbell and James were posthumously honoured with keys to the City Of Montego Bay by the St. James Parish Council.

Ode to Sunshine is an album by American rock band Delta Spirit, released August 26, 2008, on Rounder Records. It is the band's debut album, following their 2006 EP I Think I've Found It. Reception AllMusics Hal Horowitz wrote, "The ex-Noise Ratchet founders shift to more rootsy territory with their new band, yielding impressive results", and that "Ode to Sunshine was recorded in a cabin in Julian, CA, and those surroundings seem to have brought a raw, rootsy, almost Basement Tapes-styled feel to the stripped-down songs and production." The A.V. Clubs Chris Martins said the album "is brimming with gritty, staggering soul that floods the gap between the Stones' R&B-inflected; early oeuvre and Cold War Kids' world-weary keening. That said, Ode is impressively measured, and neither the rollicking shambolics of "Trashcan" nor the slow, whiskey-seeping grind of "Parade" would be half as effective without a certain tautness." NMEs Tessa Harris said the band's "sound is timeworn and instantly familiar: the "set me free" chorus of 'Streetwalker' is pure Springsteen, while the honky-tonk of 'Trashcan' is classic Stones, made more remarkable by the sandpaper snarl of their frontman." PopMatters Andrew Martin wrote that "Every year there is one album that comes out of nowhere, kicks you in the ass, and demands your attention. It finds itself on your iPod, inside your CD player, and blaring out of your headphones or speakers. Then, you commit to spreading the word about the album to anyone and everyone. Because, just like how misery loves company, so does a music lover who has just discovered a fantastic new album. For me, and others I am sure, Delta Spirit's Ode to Sunshine is just that album." Prefix Magazine said "it would be easy to christen the Delta Spirit's sonically referential sound as the Violent Femmes gone sepia. Many already have", and "Despite Delta Spirit's anarchic (i.e., creatively opportunistic) sampling of everything from cold war folk to the Cold War Kids, when the band members hit their stride — as on the rumbling, locomotive grooves of piano-stung epic Americana on "Trashcan" — Sunshine becomes nothing less than an ode to musical joy." Slants Nate Adams wrote that "The songs on Sunshine range from vaguely spiritual (the groove-heavy first single "Trashcan") to openly Christian (the passable but forgettable "Children"), and while this is by no means a bad thing, it can be distracting at times: No one likes to be preached at, even if the message is wrapped up inside bluesy pop songs", and that "Sadly, the guitars are buried low in the mix, forcing the vocals and piano to do most of the work." Spins Nate Adams said "Whether it's a happy accident or a painstaking work of art, the rousing debut of this San Diego quintet impresses mightily. Despite passing echoes of Spoon and Violent Femmes, Delta Spirit's rough barroom pop is its own creature, with jangly pianos, rattling drums, and scruffy acoustic guitars making a thrilling ruckus."

Part 3 is the fourth studio album by the funk and disco group KC and the Sunshine Band. The album was produced by Harry Wayne Casey and Richard Finch and was released in October 1976 on the TK label. History Part 3 contains three of the band's biggest hits, "(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty", "I'm Your Boogie Man", and "Keep It Comin' Love". The first two reached number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 while the third peaked at number two. Two other singles, "I Like to Do It" and "Wrap Your Arms Around Me" found moderate success on the charts. Record World said of "I Like to Do It" that "What this group likes to do is race up the charts and as long as they continue to produce material such as this, they should remain on top." The album was remastered in 1994 as “Part 3…And More” with additional bonus tracks by Rhino. The album was remastered and reissued with bonus tracks in 2012 by Big Break Records.
