Blog post image preview www.lanier2.imeem.com Initially a funky instrumental soul combo on Stax/Volt, the Bar-Kays were nearly destroyed when most of the band perished in the same plane crash that claimed Otis Redding. Amazingly, the Bar-Kays not only regrouped but prospered, evolving into a popular funk ensemble over the course of the '70s.

Yeah I'm posting some funk on a Sunday....deal with it. This song always reminds me of that Aykroyd/Chase movie _Spies Like Us_, when, just before the daffy duo comes upon the hidden Russian missile launch site in remote Siberia or somewheres, they hear the faint sounds of the Bar-Kays coming from, what they don't know yet to be, the guards radio.

This is a very good station...they are worth streaming for those of you out of range. (am v sad that I can't find a viddie for this one!) WXCI Danbury CT
