I dig the original Bar-Keys the most (the brothers which died in the tragic plane crash with Otis Redding back in 1967). Cuts like "Soulfinger" are plain hard driven FUNK!

However, I also dig some of the 70s material of the follow-up Bar-Keys such as "Do you see what I see".

Anybody dig the "Mar-Keys", the original white studio band of Stax records?? They were all white cats but groovy as hell! Duck Dunn (later Booker T and the MGs) played with them as well as the son of Stax-Boss Estelle Axton.


"Soulfinger" is the serious joint! worship

Wow! The "Mar-Keys"? Did they go on to become "Wild Cherry"? biggrin wink

I agree with Brother Maxxx sentiments about The Barkays on stage...They DIDN'T PLAY!!!

But I really revived this thread to say that one of my favorite R&B jams is their song "Feels Like I'm Falling In Love" from the 1981 NightCrusin album. Man that track is classic!!! And it wasn't even released as a single.

I don't have a hardcopy of the recording. I taped it from one of my uncles who had the album. Tight cut!!!

That horn riff was no joke on that track!!!

"OOO WEEE

OOO WEEE

Feels like I'm falling in looove

whhoooaaa babyyy" lol

I love to hear Larry Dodson funkdafied vocals!!!
