The Kay-Gees released their fourth and final studio album “Burn Me Up” in 1979 which features some of their tightest disco and funk grooves ever. With Patrick Adams at the helm, it helps give the group a sound that's downright funky as it is danceable, making it attractive to dancers and funk lovers alike. The opening "Burn Me Up" is a great example of this as it not only functions as a catchy dance record, but also has the extended keyboard solos to give the song the cerebral musicality that's crucial for a funk record. "You are a Star" and "The Rhythm is Hot" takes the deep disco funk sound to climatic extremes with jazzy sax solos propelling its shouted chants and keyboard flourishes to hysteric heights. Lastly in 2005, their song Heavenly Dream was sampled by hip hop artist Kanye West for his second album “Late Registration”.
