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