You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

Seems clear to me. Larry's going to retire.

Identity





Larry is one of the
premier vocalists of his generation. He can throw down some serious funk, but his ballad-singing merits close attention.

Um no I got it right. The Barkays have been spelling their name with or without
the hyphen for years and making it all one word. In fact their latter day cd's have featured their name on them as one word without the hyphen. I was watching
an interview with James Alexander recently talking about the origins of the band and variations on the spelling of the band's name.
