Claims to fame:. Early years. Eventually, he befriended TK bassist Richard Finch, and they formed a group around the core of the label's house band, sneaking in at night to record and writing and recording in search of a hit. Patterning themselves after the Bahamanian "junkanoo" sound first heard in hits like Beginning Of The End's "Funky Nassau," they soon expanded to funk. The group made an album and released two singles, but with no success. Then, suddenly, their big break came with a song they'd written and produced for a fellow native, soul singer George McCrae.
Although disco was still an urban phenomenon, the band's pop songwriting chops and introduction of Latin funk into Philly Soul helped pave the way for the lates brand of disco we think of today.
Later years. Between the death of the disco boom in and the dissolution of the Casey-Finch partnership, the Sunshine Band was dead in the water. However, Cuban percussionist Fermin Goytisolo is the only other band member from the original incarnation.
