5.0 out of 5 stars burning South funk, September 18, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Best of (Audio CD)
this group could groove on par with any group from back in the day.the songs have feeling and plenty of emotion about them.while maintaing an ear for radio they also injected there own brand of style to each release.and considering they had a second life after a fatal plane crash killed the original barkays and the great Ottis redding one Barkay survived. so able to re group and come back even stronger is a true statement about them.this group always delivered the funk and this set is testiment to that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wish I had the lyrics!, October 24, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Best of (Audio CD)
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 xxrhinoxx@hotmail.com.

Thanks in advance to all and enjoy!

3.0 out of 5 stars MANY BAR-KAY COLLECTIONS TO CHOOSE FROM, April 28, 2010
This review is from: Best of (Audio CD)
I am going to try to make what could be confusing to some potential buyers a little easier. If you like the Bar-Kays more synth driven and more commercial sounding music, then this is a good collection to choose. If, however, you are like me you will much prefer their insanely awesome, a bit more raw sounding, and I would argue more soulful funk mix that is the other best of collection with the purple cover with the lightening bolt with the word VOLT (which is the name of the record label I believe).
