#255 BOOGIE SHOES K.C. and The Sunshine Band
K. C. & The Sunshine Band formed in Florida in 1973. The racially diverse act was 1 of the leading exponents of disco, helmed by Harry Wayne Casey (K.C.) and Peter Finch. The 2 met at work in Miami's TK Records. Their 1st success was writing the US #1 "Rock Your Baby" for George McCrae in 1974. The following year, the 2 achieved their own chart topper as part of K. C. & The Sunshine Band with "Get Down Tonight". "That's The Way (I Like It)" followed it to the top before the year's end. "(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty" and "I'm Your Boogie Man" also made the chart summit in 1976 and 1977 respectively. "Keep It Comin' Love" peaked at #2 for 3 weeks in the latter year. Its follow-up was "Boogie Shoes".
Casey and Finch co-wrote and co-produced the song, which was originally the B-side for "Shake Your Booty", but re-issued after its inclusion on the 'Saturday Night Fever' soundtrack. Despite the record-breaking sales of the LP, "Boogie Shoes" reached the Top 40 in the USA, UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand.
The disco- flavoured hits kept coming, albeit with diminishing returns, until the group returned to #1 with the ballad "Please Don't Go" in late 1979. The single also topped the charts in Canada and Australia. Casey peaked at #2 with singer Terry DeSario on the love song "Yes I'm Ready" around this time.
"Give It Up" was the final major hit song for the group (although credited to only K. C. in some territories) in 1983. It reached the top in Britain and peaked at #3 in Australia. The group split up around this time, but reformed in the 1990s. To this day, the band still tours around the world.
This
is a list made up of the songs I enjoy the most, ranked in order of preference: the higher we go, the more I
cherish them. Some were released as singles, others as album tracks.
Some are obscure; others were worldwide hits or have
universal appeal.
They aren't always the most famous or popular, but simply a personal
choice. I have excluded songs from the last few years in order to get a
better idea of a song's lasting impression. I hope you find some new tracks to love, or re-discover some past favourites.

#256 TUSK Fleetwood Mac
Following up an album as perfect as 'Rumours' was always going to be impossible. Fleetwood Mac avoided the temptation of repeating itself, by allowing Lindsey Buckingham to direct the group in new directions. Exerting more control than his fellow bandmates, he wrote 9 of the 'Tusk' LP's 20 tracks himself. The title song, declared that this was not going to be 'Rumours II'.
Issued as a single in 1979, "Tusk" was 1 of the most unique songs ever recorded. Buckingham wrote it and production was handled by him as well as input from the other members of Fleetwood Mac, Ken Caillat and Richard Dashut. The song was recorded in Los Angeles. The track features the U.S.C. Trojan Marching Band, recorded live at L.A.'s Dodger Stadium. The single fared very well on the charts, peaking at #6 in Britain, 8 in America and 3 in Australia.

#258 PERHAPS, PERHAPS, PERHAPS Doris Day
Doris Day was born Doris von Kappelhoff in 1922. At first, her ambition was to be a dancer. A car accident led to the abandonment of that pursuit. While recovering, young Doris began singing. Her vocal coach arranged for the teenager to perform on a local radio station. She chose to sing a song entitled "Day After Day". A regular radio broadcast led to her adopting Day as her new surname, inspired by the 1930s hit she had performed.
In 1939, she joined Bing Crosby's brother Bob's band. Day was fronting Les Brown's musicians 2 years later. Her profile grew, especially after the hit song "Sentimental Journey" while World War II raged. At the same time as she was gaining fame, Day saw 2 marriages end. Her son Terry, from her 1st marriage would, years later, produce The Byrds and co-write "Kokomo" for The Beach Boys.
During the 1940s, the singer took on movie roles. By the 1950s, Day was a major box office draw, thanks to films that included 'Calamity Jane' (1953), Hitchcock's 'The Man Who Knew Too Much' (1956) and 'Teacher's Pet' (1958); many alongside Rock Hudson. Her music career prospered too, via singles such as "Secret Love" and the Oscar winning international #1 smash "Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)".
The following decade brought tragedy. Her 3rd husband died in 1968. Upon his death, it was discovered that he had misappropriated or lost her entire savings, leaving the superstar bankrupt. Day suffered a nervous breakdown. A TV sitcom turned her fortunes around. Following the end of her television series in 1973, Day has worked intermittently. She had a new show on cable TV in the 1980s and issued a new set of songs in 1994 entitled 'The Love Album'.
"Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps" was released by Day in 1965, The original Spanish version was penned by Cuban Osvaldo Farres. The English lyrics were written by Joseph Davis. Day's version was featured on her 'Latin For Lovers' album. New audiences, including myself, became aware of the song due to its inclusion in the Australian film 'Strictly Ballroom' in 1992.

#259 I CAN'T TELL YOU WHY The Eagles
Timothy B. Schmit joined the Eagles' ranks in 1977. His recruitment was just in time for the recording of the rock group's 'The Long Run' album, which was released 2 years later. That LP featured a track co-written by Schmit with founding members Don Henley and Glenn Frey entitled "I Can't Tell You Why". The band was aiming for an R&B attitude, modelled after Smokey Robinson. Bill Szymczyk produced the recording. The ballad was issued as a single and made the Top 10 in both the US and Canada.
The Eagles announced they had split in 1982. They regrouped in 1994 and dropped a live album, 'Hell Freezes Over' 2 years later. Turmoil within the group culminated in the ejection of Don Felder from its line-up in 2001. Court litigation ensued, until the parties settled out of court 6 years later. The Eagles persevered as a 4-piece group.
2007 also saw the release of a new studio album, 'Long Road out of Eden'. The double album featured songs contributed by all 4 members. The Eagles remain 1 of the most lucrative touring bands. They will return to Australia yet again for concerts in 2015.

That LP featured a track co-written by Schmit with founding members Don Henley and Glenn Frey entitled "I Can't Tell You Why". The band was aiming for an R&B attitude, modelled after Smokey Robinson. Bill Szymczyk produced the recording. The ballad was issued as a single and made the Top 10 in both the US and Canada.
The Eagles announced they had split in 1982. They regrouped in 1994 and dropped a live album, 'Hell Freezes Over' 2 years later. Turmoil within the group culminated in the ejection of Don Felder from its line-up in 2001. Court litigation ensued, until the parties settled out of court 6 years later. The Eagles persevered as a 4-piece group.
2007 also saw the release of a new studio album, 'Long Road out of Eden'. The double album featured songs contributed by all 4 members. The Eagles remain 1 of the most lucrative touring bands. They will return to Australia yet again for concerts in 2015.
This is a list made up of the songs I enjoy the most, ranked in order of preference: the higher we go, the more I cherish them. Some were released as singles, others as album tracks. Some are obscure; others were worldwide hits or have universal appeal. They aren't always the most famous or popular, but simply a personal choice. I have excluded songs from the last few years in order to get a better idea of a song's lasting impression. I hope you find some new tracks to love, or re-discover some past favourites.
