Grown Folks

When you look at the Bar Kays you don't think about the long arduous history this group has endured over the years. Every since Otiis Redding and four members of the original band were killed in a plane crash. This group has never quite rebounded to this day. Their biggest hit to date is still "Soul Finger". Even though that was  in the sixties. That is still their signature sound after almost fifty years.

I don't know who wrote this song, but they penned a hit. Let's hope this record gets some national airplay as opposed to just being local. Instead of getting caught up in Atlanta. Jazze Pha needs to use his influence to help his father. James Alexander and Larry Dodson are the only original members that remain. The only group out there like them with more time in the game is "The Ohio Players" They had their moment in the spotlight. Maybe it's  time for the Bar-Kays to do what the grown folks  do.
