KC & The Sunshine Band’s song “Please Don’t Go” was released in 1979 as a single from their seventh studio album, “Do You Wanna Go Party.” The song was written by band member Harry Wayne Casey (KC) and Richard Finch.
“Please Don’t Go” is a soulful ballad that features Casey’s distinctive falsetto vocals, backed by lush strings and a simple piano melody. The lyrics of the song express a plea from the singer to his lover, begging her not to leave him and expressing his fear of being alone without her.
The song became a massive hit for the band, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States and becoming a top ten hit in several other countries around the world. Its popularity has endured over the years, and it has been covered by numerous artists in various genres.
The song’s success helped solidify KC & The Sunshine Band’s place in the disco and funk music scenes of the late 1970s, and it remains one of their most recognizable and beloved songs to this day.
