Harry Wayne Casey and Richard Finch were introduced
to each other in 1972 and after hitting it off, began writing together and
formed KC & THE SUNSHINE BAND. They put out two singles on TK Records, ‘Blow Your
Whistle’, released in September ’73 and ‘Sound Your Funky Horn’ put out in
February of ’74. Both saw moderate success, however it was enough for TK
Records to want a follow up single and album.

It
was during this time while putting demos together that KC and Richard wrote
Rock Your Baby, which would later be recorded by George McCrae and released on
his debut album of the same name, giving him a #1 hit across the charts and
proving that Casey and Finch had what it took to write hit songs. Their second
album cemented this notion going triple platinum with a string of top singles
to match.
