KC and the Sunshine Band is an American musical group. Founded in 1973, their style has included funk, pop and disco. Their most well known songs include the disco hits "That's the way I like it", "(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty", and "Get Down Tonight".

The group was formed by Harry Wayne Casey ("KC"), a record store employee and part-timer at TK Records in Miami. Following demo work, Casey was encouraged to create his own group. The initial members were just Casey and Richard Finch, but Jerome Smith, Fermin Goytisolo, and Robert Johnson were soon added to the Sunshine Band line-up. Casey's close friend Chris Minten helped choose the candidates to be in the band.
