Unsung:Barkays

I'm looking forward to the new Unsung episode tonight.
I've already seen sneak previews online and it promises
to be a very good episode documenting the band's 40 year history.
I'll start the party.

You said the key phrase. To me, they haven't done any of them "well". They area all inconsistent and has holes in some way.

I liked the Sylvester one, but I still had more questions after I saw it.

Yes they do. James Alexander(missed the flight) and Ben Cauley are the only
living original members. Ben Cauley left a few years after they reformed
the Barkays to play with Isaac Hayes after they backed him on the Shaft soundtrack. Ben definitely has a story to tell being the only survivor on
that fateful plane crash that killed Otis Redding and his bandmates in 1967.
