MIAMI, Fla. (July 31, 2014) – Nixon resigns, The Oakland A's win the World Series, Mia Farrow graces the cover of the debut issue of People and the Harry Wayne “KC” Casey-penned and produced “Rock Your Baby” holds the #1 spot in an unheard of 51 countries. It’s 1974.  Featured in the ‘From the Vaults’ section of Rolling Stone, “Rock Your Baby” was recorded by George McCrae and is considered a landmark recording of early disco. The international hit beat out The Righteous Brothers, Elton John, Gladys Knight & The Pips, Steely Dan and Olivia Newton John, among others, for the top spot and served as inspiration for John Lennon’s single "Whatever Gets You Thru the Night” and ABBA’s hit "Dancing Queen."

1974 and “Rock Your Baby” was just the beginning for KC and The Sunshine Band.  In their over 40-year career, the iconic group went on to top the charts with seven #1 singles and three triple-platinum albums, win three Grammys, became the first act since The Beatles to score four #1 pop singles in one 12-month period and, somewhere along the way, helped to define a movement and an era.

KC and The Sunshine Band continue to tour around the world and inspire musicians and fans alike.  A whole new generation of pop stars have discovered KC’s disco-defining sound, including Cuban-American actor and award-winning singer-songwriter Jencarlos Canela.  The Hispanic pop star along with Korean hit-maker PSY recently collaborated with KC on "Give It Up Tonight," a remake of KC's classic "Give It Up."
