There are several wonderful KC tribute and fan sites, he does seem to have very creative fans. So I needed to think of something different to do if I was going to set up a page about my fave band from the 70's. I also decided to give it the "teen idol" slant as part of a feature on teen idols in general. Plus a UK slant, with UK chart positions, tour dates, and Top of the Pops performances.
So take a trip down memory lane to the 1970s with me, and chuckle over the extracts from my diary, memories of searching magazines for articles and pictures, and remember what it was like when you saw your own teen idol in concert for the first time.
KC and the Sunshine Band are back on the road and still going strong today after a few years out of the limelight, and I hope the might come back to the UK some time. I better make sure my Boogie Shoes still fit. Might not be a good idea to try and do The Hustle these days as I did back in the 70's as I don't think my middle aged limbs would stand for it!
I decided it is time I added some more to this site so watch for changes :)

You can mail me:-
I would love to hear from other KC fans, especially from the UK and Europe, but from anywhere who may have memories to share. If anyone has any pictures they are happy for me to use for the site that would be wonderful- maybe I can start a page of fan pictures? I am also looking for 2 fan club newsletters which mentioned me by name. The first ever newsletter from the old fan club which I got in March 1976 which listed me as one of their most dedicated fans. Also one which I got in August 1976- the third one I think- which had a birthday mention for me. Can anyone help?
