KC & The Sunshine Band – That’s the Way I Like it

“That’s the Way (I Like It)” is a song by disco and funk band KC and the Sunshine Band from their self-titled second studio album (1975). The single became the band’s second No. 1 hit in the Billboard Hot 100.

Like all their hits, it was written by their bass player/producer Rick Finch and frontman Harry Wayne Casey.

There’s no mistaking the title in this one: it’s repeated four times in each chorus, and that chorus opens and closes the song. This wasn’t by accident: Harry Wayne Casey worked in a record store while he was earning his wings as a musician at TK Records. Customers would often come in looking for a song, but didn’t know the name of it; Casey wanted to make sure that didn’t happen to him.

He also had a revelation when listening to some Beatles albums. Casey wasn’t a big fan of the group, but he heard how they would repeat a title over and over in songs like “She Loves You” and “I Want To Hold Your Hand.”

This song is one of the few in music history to reach #1 on the charts twice in the same month. First it was replaced at the #1 spot by “Fly Robin Fly” by Silver Convention, then replaced that song in turn, completing its three-week run.
