KC – Give It Up (US 12″)
Posted by DjPaulT on 21st February 2011
BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1983
“Give It Up” was a UK number one single for three weeks in August 1983 for KC and the Sunshine Band, although it was simply credited as KC in many countries, including the US. It went on to become the 18th best-selling single of the year in the UK. It was the last and most successful of the act’s 10 hits in the UK, and was somewhat of a comeback hit in the United States. Following the backlash against many disco artists on the charts in the early 1980s, the song peaked at #18 in the US in January 1984.
