KC and the Sunshine band were versatile period and KC can write and did his thing period. the Baddest White Blue eyed SOul Singer Ever and He put Miami on the Music scene period.

and yeah the Band was on a Sly and the family stone tip and I said as funky not better but as funky.

and as for Freddie Jackson yeah he had more Impact ON R&B than Prince. the cat was battling Luther Vandross for crying out loud ain't alot of cats can make that claim

Luther had the same kind of run as Prince and fell off after 87 as well.
