The Sunshine Band - Black Water Gold

The seeds of KC & The Sunshine Band were planted when two South Florida boys, Harry Wayne Casey and Richard Finch met while working at the attic studio of T.K. Records, above the warehouse of Tones Distributors. Rick had worked his way up to assisting producers, while Harry's duties included processing returns and boxing up records, and sometimes playing keyboards in recording sessions.

It was Casey’s idea for him and Finch to pool their skills. "Everybody else had a team together already", says Rick. "He found out I played bass and drums, and I found out he played keyboards, and when the studio was empty in the evenings, we would go up there and find out what kind of music would happen. A lot of people would throw tape away because they couldn’t figure out how to make the machine erase properly, Rick recalls. It was expensive, so I would take it out of the trash can, wind it up on the reel, clean it up, and use that for recording".

Not only were the boys thrifty, but, thanks to the sessions they had already played in the studio, they were also fast. It didn’t take much experimenting for the two to get their own eclectic sound together. KC & The Sunshine Band released two singles from their first album, "Do It Good" and hit the R&B charts when "Blow Your Whistle" went to #27 in the fall of ’73 and "Sound Your Funky Horn" made it to #21 in early ’74.

The first real sign that the Casey/Finch sound was really clicking came in September of 1974, when "Queen Of Clubs" reached the U.K. Top 10, and the Sunshine Band was in demand for live gigs all around the country. This was good news, of course. But the best news was yet to come courtesy of one George McCrae and a song he wrote called "Rock Your Baby".

As studio musicians, Casey and Finch recorded the rhythm track in just 45 minutes, with just one additional player, Jerome Smith, on guitar. Company brass, Henry Stone and Steve Alaimo felt the song had potential and offered it to Gwen McCrae, who passed on it. Then, George McCrae, who happened into the studio, heard the instrumental and in a mere two takes, put down his own vocals. The song was released, and George McCrae had a number one hit on his hands.

RDMC - Adidas (Ross Go Remix)

Didn't manage to get this past the Soundcloud copyright first time around when I originally uploaded it as part of the 'Soul Nuggets Vol.1' EP back in February but nice to see @andy-buchan-edits got his version up a few weeks ago so thought I'd give it another roll of the dice.

Alternatively, for those who don't like Hypeddit or want the pick up the 3 track EP in full, head over to Bandcamp - https://djxs.bandcamp.com/album/dj-xs-soul-nuggets-vol-1

Awesome track, become a bit of a modern party classic over the last couple of years, I flipped it slightly, added some slightly tougher beats whilst hopefully keeping the organic vibe plus re-arranged the structure slightly adding an extra verse and chorus as I do tend to get a little obsessive about structure.
