Another spotlight on an overlooked band, the Bar Kays. Larry Dodson,
lead singer, narrates the story of my favorite period of theirs, the
70's and early 80's Mercury records period.
Now, the funky side of
the Bar Kays has been documented in many other mixes, so I'm focusing on
the soulful side of the band. You'd be forgiven for thinking some of
these tracks were lost Earth Wind and Fire songs they are so good, that
soulful band style arrangement so popular in the time. In fact, aside from the great vocals of Maurice and Philip, the songs on this mix play like 70's soulful EWF in thier prime.
So press play below and enjoy, Grizz and Ridym back with you this weekend with some more great music.
