Give It Up (KC and the Sunshine Band song)

Common card · No. 241256

"Give It Up" is a song by American disco and funk band KC and the Sunshine Band, although it was simply credited as KC in several markets, including the United States. Following the backlash against many disco artists on the charts at the beginning of the 1980s, "Give It Up" was a comeback hit for the band in the US. Epic Records refused to re-release it when it was included on the band's 1982 album All in a Night's Work and it failed to chart upon initial release; however, the independent Meca Records label showed its support and included it on the band's 1983 album KC Ten. Following its re-release, "Give It Up" peaked at number 18 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in March 1984. It had been a hit in the United Kingdom several months earlier, when it topped the UK singles chart for three weeks in August 1983. It went on to become the 18th-best-selling single of the year in the UK. "Give It Up" was the last of the band's hit singles in the US and UK and is their most successful UK hit. Elsewhere...
