KC Ten is the tenth studio album by the funk and disco group KC and the Sunshine Band. The album was produced by Harry Wayne Casey, Robert Walker, and Ron Taylor and was released in December 1983 on the Meca label.

## History

[edit]

KC Ten was credited only to group lead vocalist KC. The album includes the hit song "Give It Up", which had also been on the previous album. The single reached the top twenty on the Billboard Hot 100 and became their first and only number 1 single on the UK Singles Chart. The band disbanded after this album was released; eight years would pass before the band was reformed.
