www.lanier2.imeem.comInitially 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. They continued to score hits on the R&B charts through much of the '80s as wel...

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.

But a few survivors, amazingly, not only regrouped but prospered, evolving into a popular funk ensemble over the course of the '70s and on through the 80's and beyond.
