Flashback Friday: "Please Don't Go" - KC & the Sunshine Band (1980)

Is KC & the Sunshine Band the way, uh huh, uh huh, you like it? Well, how about when they strip it down a little? Let's take a look at the very first number one hit of the 1980's, "Please Don't Go".

Eh... it's okay.

Suffice it to say, I prefer KC & the Sunshine Band when they sound more like a ray of sunshine. I mean, who doesn't like "That's the Way I Like It" or "Get Down Tonight"? Aliens, that's who. If you ever meet a person who doesn't like either of these songs, they're an alien and you should be very afraid.

But this song? Well... it's just not as good.

It's definitely not a bad song; it's got its share of charm. But there's so much more funkiness this band can delve into. This is just a small example of that funkiness, and somehow it's underwhelming. If you like this song, then I understand why. But for KC & The Sunshine Band, it's just not up to par for me. I'd rather do a little dance, make a little love, and get down tonight. That's the way, uh huh, uh huh, I like it!
