The Bar-Kays

The Bar-Kays are an American soul, R&B, and funk group formed in 1966. The group had dozens of charting singles from the 1960s to the 1980s, including "Soul Finger" (US Billboard Hot 100 number 17, R&B number 3) in 1967, "Son of Shaft" (R&B number 10) in 1972, and "Boogie Body Land" (R&B number 7) in 1980.

History

The Bar-Kays began in Memphis, Tennessee, as a studio session group, backing major artists at Stax Records. In 1967 they were chosen by Otis Redding to play as his backing band and were tutored for that role by Al Jackson, Jr., Booker T. Jones, and the other members of Booker T. & the M.G.'s. Their first single, "Soul Finger", was issued on April 14, 1967, reaching number 3 on the US Billboard R&B Singles chart and number 17 on the Billboard Hot 100. On December 10, 1967, Redding and four members of the band—Jimmie King (born June 8, 1949; guitar), Ronnie Caldwell (born 1948; electric organ), Phalon Jones (born 1949; saxophone), and Carl Cunningham (born 1949; drums)—and their valet, Matthew Kelly, died when their airplane plunged into Lake Monona, near Madison, Wisconsin, while attempting to land at Truax Field. Redding and the band were scheduled to play their next concerts in Madison. Trumpeter Ben Cauley was the only survivor of the crash. Bassist James Alexander was on another plane, as the plane carrying Redding held only seven passengers. Cauley and Alexander rebuilt the group.

  • Do It (Rollins Band album)

    Do It is the first EP after the first full-length album Life Time from Rollins Band, fronted by ex-Black Flag singer, Henry Rollins.

    Do It was originally released in 1987 and included three studio recordings (1-3) and 6 live tracks recorded in Deventer, the Netherlands October 22, 1987 (5-10). The three studio tracks are Pink Fairies, Velvet Underground and Louis Prima & Sam Butera covers, produced by Ian MacKaye, well known in the genre of hardcore punk for his work with Minor Threat and as co-owner of the Dischord record label.

    The record was subsequently re-mastered and re-released in 2007 with additional live tracks from the Fall 1987 Tour. These include the addition of the introductory track titled "Joe Is Everything, Everything Is Joe" (which refers to Rollins' roommate Joe Cole), two live tracks from Kortrijk, Belgium (11-12), two live tracks from London, England (13-14) and the final track from Ravensburg, Germany (15). Six more tracks from the same tour can be found on the rare Split Live LP with the Dutch noise band Gore from a show recorded at El Mocambo in Toronto, Ontario on May 17, 1987. The three studio tracks were also included in the re-mastered package of the Life Time album.

    My Everything

    by: Bar-kays

    I've been around the world once or twice
    I've had a lot of loves in my life
    But none could compare to the fullness of love
    that I've found in you
    And timeless the moments we share
    Whenever in need you were there
    I ask the heavens to send me an angel
    and that's what you are
    You are my morning
    You are my night
    You are the thought when I open my eyes
    You are the reasons that birds do sing
    I see you're more,.. You're my everything
    You are the one til death do us part
    You are the lifeline straight to my heart
    You are the sunshine after the rain
    Baby you're more,.. You're my everything
    And all of my dreams were you
    Now all of my dreams have .. come true
    No one could ever tell me that life could be better
    baby, than loving you
    You are the reason I live
    And I promise always, to give
    My heart, my soul, the last breath that I breathe
    will be for you
    Because you are my morning
    You are my night
    You are the thought when I open my eyes
    You are the reason birds do sing
    I see you're more, .. You're my everytrhing
    You are the one, til death do us part
    You are the lifeline straight to my heart
    yYou are the sunshine after the rain
    Baby you're more, .. You're my everything
    You know the minutes seem like hours when we're apart
    And i just never know what to do
    And i know how things will end
    But girl I know when I wake my day starts loving you
    you are my morning
    You are my night
    You are the thought when I open my eyes
    You are the reason birds do sing
    I see you;re more, .. You're my everything
    You are the one til death do us part
    You are the lifeline straight to my heart
    You are the sunshine after the rain
