DEF: KC And The Sunshine Band “Please Don’t Go”
Between 1975 and 1979, Hialeah, Florida-based group KC and the Sunshine Band hit number one on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart four times. The band’s fifth chart-topping single was also released in 1979, but it didn’t hit number one until 1980. In fact, that single — “Please Don’t Go” — was the very first number one single of the 1980s.
Exactly 35 years ago yesterday, “Please Don’t Go” spent its lone week at number one. Today, it’s the Daily Eighties Flashback.
