Richard Finch is one of the most popular and richest Musician who was born on January 23, 1954 in Indianapolis, Indianapolis, United States. Richard Raymond Finch (born January 23, 1954) is an American composer, producer, engineer, and song arranger. He is best known as the co-founder, producer and former bass guitar player of KC and the Sunshine Band. Along with Harry Wayne Casey, he co-wrote six No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 hits.
Finch became interested in audio recording techniques and a schoolmate introduced him to the singer-songwriter Clarence Reid from TK Records. His high school attendance suffered as he spent every free moment at TK Records and eventually was hired as a part-time recording engineer for the label. Henry Stone and Clarence Reid introduced him to Harry Wayne Casey, three years his senior, who worked in the shipping department. Prior to his introduction to Casey, Finch had already established himself at TK as a skilled engineer, with over 127 singles recorded before the age of 17 (including various tracks for the Allman Brothers and Mother’s Finest).
Within weeks of meeting, the Finch/Casey songwriting collaboration began, with their first hit songs recorded by Betty Wright and George McCrae (“Where Is the Love” and “Rock Your Baby”). Finch then assembled the future Sunshine Band members, utilizing his already-established friendships with TK session musicians, guitarist Jerome Smith and drummer Robert Johnson. The Finch–Casey collaboration produced numerous hits, including “(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty”, “Get Down Tonight”, “Please Don’t Go”, “Boogie Shoes” and “I’m Your Boogie Man”.
