Absolutely Funkalicious!!!!!.......2007-03-16

First of all I was surprised to find out that this album was released on CD. I had the cassette when it was a hit in the early 80's. I played it out. The Bar Kays were one of the best funk bands of the 80's along with the Gap Band, Cameo and other stars like Rick James and Prince. This music takes me back to the roller rink days when life was so much funn!!! I only wish music like this was still around sometimes. Anyway, I do highly recommend this album if you are familiar with the 80's Rhythm and Blues or funk music. Very good dance music!!!
P.S. I would like to have a copy of "Night Cruising"-the Bar Kays on CD. I hope Amazon gets this message and can help me on this one. I'd buy it. Also, wish for re releases of Some Rick James albums on CD like "Cold Blooded", "Throwin Down", etc.

AWESOME FUNK!!!.......2006-06-07

If james brown was the hardest working man in show business,then the barkays were the hardest working band in show business. They were truly one of the most underrated bands in the business. They toured with all the bad bands of their time including fellow funk cousins confunkshun and cameo. It is legend that a lot of big name r&b bands were scared to follow the barkays on stage because of their all out funk assault live on stage. Lead singer Larry Dodson was and still is one of the most electrifying performers on stage. Their 1982 Propositions release is a masterpiece which followed another masterpiece Night Cruising.I will be on cloud nine the day that is released on cd. Funk fans if you like your funk sizzling get this release. The title cut opens this sizzling cd as the band often opened their shows in the 80's with this cut turning it into a funk rock anthem. It is followed by the equally funky Trippin Out and then one of the finest ballads ever recorded by the band Anticipation. Besides Anticipation,the other hot singles released from this cd were the barkays funk classics Do It(Let Me See You Shake)and the rump shaking She Talks To Me With Her Body. The cd closes with another fine ballad I Can't Believe You're Leaving Me and another funky tune called You Made A Change In My Life. I have always been and still a fan of the barkays. The barkays are truly funk legends. Founder James Alexander is one of the baddest bassist of all time who was part of the original barkays lineup that played for the late great otis redding(Four members tragically perished in a plane crash with redding before alexander reformed the band in 1969). If you like your funk to stank,then pick up the barkays propositions.

Rare Funk at its Best..........2005-12-13

The Propositions were a 9 member Detroit Band who released only 3 singles in the early 70s. All members were 17 and under, yet unbelievably funky beyond their years. Apparently, they never released a full LP, but recorded enough tunes in a 1973 album to result in this well mixed and mastered gem of classic drums, bass, guitar and horn driven instrumental funk. Fans of the Westbound Sound in particular will really dig this... and the Westbound Connection shouldn't be surprizing. Some people might associate Detroit with the softer pop-Soul sounds of Motown, but fans of the early Ohio Players, Funkadelic and Junie will know that Detroit was also a heavy funk mecha. The liner notes in fact happen to describe the group as predecessors to the COUNTS (Bohannon's back up group who recorded one of my favorite raw instrumental funk albums of all time ITS WHAT'S UP FRONT THAT COUNTS.) This group is definitely right up there with not only the Counts, but Black Head, Soud Experience, Ripple and a number of other virtually forgotten funk powerhouses of the '70s... in conclusion... ultra obscure but mandatory listening ! ! !

Sadly Overlooked.......2004-03-13

I picked up this cd about 8 years ago and I still come back to it. Apparently this was a Detroit band of mainly teenagers. You wouldn't know it from the playing. These guys can vamp. Hard funk in the same vein as the Counts or S.O.U.L.
