The Bar-kays were a broad coalition group, typical of their period,
and their electro-funk style left a real trademark in the
packed playlists.
Their fate was dramatically sealed on 10 December 1967;
In fact excluding the trumpeter Ben Cauley, and the bassist James Alexander,
all perished at the bottom of Lake Monona, Wisconsin, with the very famous
Otis Redding “the King of soul” their manager, due to a plane crash.
From the ashes of that damned afternoon, the new life of the bar-kays was born
which we point out with one of the most solid and representative themes of their length
career :
“Holy ghost” 1979. A Groove that resounds from the cellar to the attic of a
building called funk. Among the historical transparencies of a crowded stage, there are
More ghosts alive, that lives already dead of boredom.
