KC and the Sunshine Band - Boogie Shoes

[Mirago]

I’ve been cutting a sizzle reel to this forgotten 70s gem all week so it’s my favorite song right now.
It’s unexpectedly infectious and I hope not forgotten. It peaked at number 35 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 29 on the soul chart in 1978.

I love it!

Trick Daddy sampled this in "Take It To Da House".

[gonecountry]

Great tune. Everything they did was great. I’m Your Boogie Man and I Like To Do It are also personal favorites

[disman00911]

One of their better songs.

#324 on Billboard's 500 Greatest Pop Songs

You Know What It Is: The sunniest of Harry Wayne Casey’s many Sunshine Band hits, with a sprightly horn hook, the catchiest chorus ever written about donning specific footwear, and not a second wasted in its 2:17 runtime.

Coming Around Again: Fellow Florida great Trick Daddy used the song’s rousing trumpet-led groove for further party-starting (and jock-jamming) purposes on his 2001 hit “Take It to Da House.”

Gimme More: Though it never charted on the Hot 100 — except in a previously released version performed by disco peer George McCrae — the slithering “Boogie Shoes” B-side “I Get Lifted” became a go-to sample for ’80s and ’90s hip-hop, used by The Notorious B.I.G, 112 and dozens more.
