KC and the Sunshine Band contains two of the group's biggest hits, "That's the Way (I Like It)" and "Get Down Tonight", both of which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and the R&B Singles Chart. The song "Boogie Shoes" also subsequently became a hit in early 1978 after being included on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack.
