I always dug me some Bar Kays. they were fun on Record&Brought it even more live on stage."Move your Boogie Body' was my joint. Larry Dotson brought the Pain.together with Producer Allen Jones they would incorperate what was happening on the radio&play on top of that. please read that last part because some People think People taking things here&there is something new,but if you will&the Bar Kays are talented cats,but this was in part a pre-cursor to what puffy,Dr.Dre&others do. the difference between what allen Jones&the bar Kays did in the studio was actually play Live.you heard traces of P-funk,Earth,wind&Fire,Rick James&others but the Bar Kays were a Happening act.

OMG!!! IT'S ABOUT TIME!!! I've been in search of this one forever.

I first heard the entire album on the "Melvin Lensy" Quiet Storm (in Wash. DC) and recorded it onto my hand held cassette recorder.

I have loved this one forever, every song is all that, and I can't wait to play it over n over as i did back in da day, shewwww i'm so excited!!

The Bar-Kays always had a wildness in their sound, but with "Injoy" the band's sound is more polished for public consumption. It's definitely funky, but producer Allen Jones and the group locked in on the grooves that started with the "Too Hot to Stop" and "Flying High on Your Love" albums.

"Move Your Boogie Body" is straight gut-bucket funk with some P-Funk-inspired keyboard riffs; it's one of those songs that's so infectious you'll be grooving to it before you catch yourself. "More and More," "Up in Here" and "Loving You Is My Occupation" featured some strong horn riffs commonly heard in the late '70s and a disco/dancefloor beat, but the funk is there to give them some swagger.

New member Sherman Guy sings lead on the ballad "Running in and out of My Life," complete with some Phillip Bailey-like falsetto vocal spikes. Larry Dodson slows things down on the somewhat sappy ballad "You've Been" and the break-up song "Today Is the Day," to show even the hardest funksters have some sensitivity.

I USE TO HAVE THIS CD ON ALBUM BACK IN THE 1970'S,AND IT HAD THE SONG"UP IN HERE" WHICH ME AND MY CREW USE TO POPLOCK OFF OF! BUT WHEN THE NEW MILLINIUM CAME,THEY ONLY PUT OUT GREATEST HITS,BUT THEY ONLY PUT ON THE GREATEST HITS "MOVE YOUR BOOGIE BODY" BUT NOW THEY RELEASED "INJOY" AND NOW I'M ABLE TO HEAR THE SONG I LOVED BY THEM FROM BACK IN THE DAY!

I love me some Bar-Kays! I'm so glad they released this on cd! Ilove everything on here especially running in and out of my life and you've been. The BaR-kAYS were fire back in the day and I wish they would release more of their old albums on cd.

It is a CD I have always wanted but there was some scum on the CD, I did not try to return but rather tried cleaning it off with various type cleaners and it never came off, since I did that I did not feel I could return.
