K. C. & the Sunshine Band, led by Harry Wayne Casey, brought a bit of male bravado to the predominantly diva-led disco scene. K. C. and company incorporated a Caribbean feel to their music, with swelling-and staccato-horn parts and multi-layered vocals. The repetition of the choruses of " Shake Your Booty" and " That's the Way ( I Like It)" had every gold-chain wearing male on the dance floor singing along. While these hits, and " Get Down Tonight", are now disco cultural reference points, " Sound Your Funky Horn", a minor hit earlier in the band's career, has more of an island feel to it. Best of K. C. & the Sunshine Band provides a fairly broad sampling of the Sunshine Band's music, including " Keep It Comin' Love", " I'm Your Boogie Man", and the tropical funk of " Boogie Shoes".
