Too Hot To Stop in Superbad the Movie!!!.......2007-08-02
I saw an advance screening of Superbad, the movie being released on 8/17. Too Hot to Stop by the Barkays was in the opening credits. It is burned in my head. Get ready to Jam!!!!!This is not the same song by the Commodores!!!!!!!
What a sham.......2005-07-02
ok 1st off this collection & Best of Vol 2 are a jip HOW IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT'S FUNKY CAN YOU HAVE A BAR-KAYS HITS W/O SOUL FINGER????
Answer this to me please?
All the songs on vol 1 & 2 Hits packages are awesome & the only way i could give this or Vol 2 5 stars is with Soul Finger.
That is like having a Skynyrd Hits w/o the 2 REDNECK ANTHEMS on there Sweet Home Alabama & FreeBird
what a shaft!!!!
Wish I had the lyrics!.......2000-10-24
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 barash@webtv.net
Thanks in advance to all and enjoy!

Why ?.......1999-12-15
Why is Polygram releasing all these greatest hits compilations on this gritty,nasty,just too tight funk band. They have to be one of the hottest groups to come out of the south. And the justice that Polygram is giving them on these compilations aren't gonna do. They are just barely scratching the surface of what this band has to offer. I would like to see full length cd's by this super funk group. Cause anybody who was around when they were in their prime knows that the party wasn't happening till there were some Bar-Kays jams being played. Come on Polygram (Universal/Uni whatever your calling yourself's) get with the program and show these brother's some love. Release the full length(Too Hot To Stop,Light Of Life,Injoy,As One,Nightcruising,etc.)already ! Dang! Oh, and enough with the compilations already.

Funky Stuff.......2007-07-02
This CD captures the essence of the Bar Kays: gritty, funky and soulful. The only issue I have with the product is the murky, remixed version of "Your Place or Mine"; I was hoping that it would be the radio mix that was popular in the 80's, but instead it is a pretty unlistenable version with the vocals buried deep in the mix. Otherwise, stellar.
Overlooked!.......2004-12-07
The Bar-Kays were often overlooked because there were so many bands in their era, like EWF, The Commodores, Ohio Players and Parliament. However, they managed to find a niche and a folllowing. But this particular collection is sparse and spotty. I own the other Greatest Hits collection and it is more thorough and holds more of their popular gems. I purchased this CD solely for one song that could not be found on the other compilation and that song is: Running In and Out of My Life! Seriously bad, harmonious, mid-tempo jam! Worth putting out the extra money!
OLD SCHOOL RULES.......2001-07-03
If you are from the old school. This is a must have CD!!!!
Slammin'&Funky.......2000-03-18
The Bar-Kays are Funky all through this disc.Are you Being Real is so Soulful&tight.Boogie Body Land is still thick Funk.She Talks to me with her body is still stanky.Whitehouseorgy Pre-Dated Bill CLinton&Monica.Larry Dodson sounds alot like Rick James.so you know he is Funky.The Band is Banging all the way.

GREATEST FUNK UNIT EVER!!!!!!!.......2004-01-19
This is the TRUE bomb. The Bar-Kays are the most underrated r&b group ever. Mention the work "funk" and people immediately think Parliament or Funkadelic or Parliament-Funkadelic (not a band-see how peoples thinking is off?), maybe James Brown...maybe even the Chili Peppers. Not to take away anything from the aforementioned bands, but the Bar-Kays are the hands down KINGS of stripped down bare bones, street level, boogernose, body odor, tartaronyateeth funk (okay, I went a bit Arsenio there, but it's true!). EVERYBODY knows the "Theme from Shaft" by Isaac Hayes, but do they know it was the Bar-Kays who were his backing band on the Shaft soundtrack and many of his other fantastic Stax LP's, including the fantastic classic "Hot Buttered Soul"?
I liked Parliament but man, they just went overboard sometimes and the production that was their band occasionally seemed to lose sight of the funky bottom. No so with the Bar-kays. They kept it simple and straight. They didn't have the musical chops of James Browns outfit or the legions of musicians that worked with George Clinton, but they could write funky jams like noone else.
This compilation doesn't have their biggest hit "Soul Finger", but it does have some of my fave cuts like "In the Hole", "A.J. the Housefly", "Holy Ghost" and Son of Shaft".
If you want some severely hot jams to test the speaker system in your lowrider as you cruise the ave, this isn't a bad way to go. I blast this in my ride and ALWAYS get looks from people.
A true street soundtrack.

Shake your Rump to the Funk.......2007-07-26
huge Bar Kays fan. all of there Jams with Allen Jones on Production and the strong Vocal talent of Larry Dotson along with Orginal Bar Kay James Alexender on Bass and Winston Stewart holding down the Bam Boards makes for some Slamming funk. Move your Boogie Body is my joint as is "Hit and Run". always dug the way the Bar Kays Grooved. the Jams here are bumping for a Cook Out and Beyond. the Memphis Funk is in da House.
