This is probably one of the MOST underrated discs out there! The Barkays are still one of the most FUNKY bands in the world when they apply themselves! This disc has some slammin' jams and, for those that love the 'lectric slide - the song "Slide" is the bomb! Play it at any party and you'll see results! This disc also has the slow jams: Can't say enough about the duet with Evelyn 'Champagne' King - "If Loving You is Wrong", and "If It Takes All Night". Right down to the finale: the "Megamix", this disc has it all. Buy it before it goes out of print.

I have to admit I grew up listening to this group among others like SLAVE,LAKESIDE,CAMEO,OHIO PLAYERS & CHOCOLATE MILK. I was surprised at what this CD had to offer in terms of a good listening experience.what i meen is i wasn't expecting very much,but hold up & pump your breaks.damn boys still had a pulse left in em'-it's not the late 70's or early 80's BARKAYS but they sound pretty good.if you like the line dance,check out track 3 The Slide & they did a great job on the song If Loving You Is Wrong. so please give this CD a try-i think you will like it.

As has been said many times before, even great artists can overstay themselves. At the time that this album was made, the Bar-Kays had sustained a successful 20+ year recording career despite some hardships in the group's early years. However, even the best funk bands were starting to run out of fresh ideas towards the end of the 80s, and such is definitely the case with this 1994 album. With no standout tracks, this album pales in comparison to the earlier, classic material of The Bar-Kays, and doesn't even sound that good compared to many lesser artists of that period. They attempted a comeback in 2003, but it was pretty much ignored.

THE BAR-KAYS STILL HAVE THAT STAYING POWER I WISH I COULD HEAR THEM MORE ON RADIO THAT WAS THE REAL>>>>>FUNK GROUP OF THE 70'and THE48HOUR's CD SPEAK FOR IT SELF NEED I SAY MORE.............
