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.
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.

This was my first time finally getting a chance to see one of my favorite funk groups. This dynamic funk group is vastly underrated in my opinion. They put on a terrific show as indicated in this video. They did "freaky behavior" "shake your rump to the funk" "let's have some fun" "do it" and other hits.

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
