@slaw I'm not sure that I'd go so far as to say I'm "ashamed" of KC and the Sunshine Band, but I'd definitely put it in the "guilty pleasure" category, LOL.
It's funny, there are a lot of things (like any kind of "disco") that I absolutely hated in my younger days, but listening to them as "music" with no other bias, they sound great! KC was a good example of that.
