(1975)Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating Allmusic [1] Robert Christgau (B+) [2] Do It Good was the debut album by the funk and disco group KC and the Sunshine Band. The album had little mainstream impact in the United States, despite catchy tracks like "Sound Your Funky Horn". The album was focused towards an upbeat funk - which would later turn into disco.
After the song 'Queen of Clubs' became a hit, the album was re-issued with the title "Queen of Clubs". When the album was re-issued it had a new cover that featured a playing card - the Queen of Clubs on the front.
