Harry Wayne Casey is the "K.C." behind 1970s hits such as "That's The Way I Like It," "Get Down Tonight" and "Boogie Shoes." He lives—where else?—in the Sunshine State of Florida, where he was born, and still tours and performs. In 1982, a serious automobile accident left him partially paralyzed for six months, forcing him to re-learn how to walk, dance and play the piano.
