Monday Music "Give it Up" By KC and the Sunshine Band

 This was KC and the Sunshine band entry in the 80's, I thought it was a pretty cool song, As talented as they were, the backlash against Disco caught them pretty hard, not as bad as the "BeeGee's" got it, but near as bad due to the extravagant show aspect of their act.  This song was on my cassette on my Mustang

  Looked like this car, same Mustang type, same color, not this car(Wish it was) means that I have it:)

 And I would drive around Stuttgart and other places with this song, the moody blues, AC/DC, Don Henley, the Eagles...Heck I had an eclectic selection of "burn tapes", well anyway.   This was one of the songs.

"Give It Up" was a hit song for KC and the Sunshine Band, although it was simply credited as KC in many countries, including the US. Following the backlash against many disco artists on the charts at the beginning of the 1980s, the song was a comeback hit for the act in the US, where it peaked at No. 18 on the Billboard Hot 100 in March 1984. The song had been an even bigger hit in the UK several months earlier, where it had hit No. 1 for three weeks in August 1983. It went on to become the 18th best-selling single of the year in the UK. It was the last of the act's hits in the US and UK, and the most successful of its 10 UK hits.

I used to catch the video on MTV and of course "Night Tracks" on NBC, I always thought the video and the song was cool and catchy and I always thought KC and the Sunshine Band was a neat band and they represented the 70's well and they were trying to get past the Disco backlash that was prevalent at the time.
