essential funk 1 Nov 2011
Format:Audio CD
THIS IS THE BUSINESS !!THE FUNKmasters aka \the barkays. From the vaults of MERCURY records, we have an oversite of the bands golden period, circa1976/ 84, when they funked with the best of them. \the southern drawl of lead singer LARRY DODSON...ccombined with the brassy ,bass driven funk & heavy drum backbeat were unmistakeable BARKAY S trademark....( this is the way FUNK should sound...in your face...and oh so danceable )THIS is vol 1and contains some real gems like TOO HOT TO STOP /SHUT THE FUNK UP /MOVE YOUR BOOGIE BODY /HIT & RUN ...on the dance side, and great ballads like ATTITUDES /STANDING ON THE OUTSIDE /DELIVER US...all show just how adaptable they could be...so soulful and classy. Without doubt this was the golden age of our music, and few would argue that THE BARKAYS were up with the best....true funkateers ,who deserve the title ICONS. A must for any self respecting soul/ funk fan of old skool . Volume 2 is the essential companion to this wonderful collection, and contains more class toons.......bless the funk.

burning South funk 19 Sep 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
this group could groove on par with any group from back in the day.the songs have feeling and plenty of emotion about them.while maintaing an ear for radio they also injected there own brand of style to each release.and considering they had a second life after a fatal plane crash killed the original barkays and the great Ottis redding one Barkay survived. so able to re group and come back even stronger is a true statement about them.this group always delivered the funk and this set is testiment to that.

Wish I had the lyrics! 24 Oct 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
This cd brings back the usual great musical memories. But what it does not share with current CD's is that there are no printed lyrics!

If anyone has the printed lyrics (especially for track 7) send em to xxrhinoxx@hotmail.com.

Thanks in advance to all and enjoy!

MANY BAR-KAY COLLECTIONS TO CHOOSE FROM 29 April 2010
By D. Snyder - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
I am going to try to make what could be confusing to some potential buyers a little easier. If you like the Bar-Kays more synth driven and more commercial sounding music, then this is a good collection to choose. If, however, you are like me you will much prefer their insanely awesome, a bit more raw sounding, and I would argue more soulful funk mix that is the other best of collection with the purple cover with the lightening bolt with the word VOLT (which is the name of the record label I believe).
