5.0 out of 5 stars burning South funk, September 18, 1999

By A Customer

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 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 [e-mail].

Thanks in advance to all and enjoy!

1.0 out of 5 stars Why ?, December 14, 1999

By	Kevin J. Ford "Movies and more movies, but go... (Seattle, Washington USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Why is Polygram releasing all these greatest hits compilations on this gritty,nasty,just too tight funk band. They have to be one of the hottest groups to come out of the south. And the justice that Polygram is giving them on these compilations aren't gonna do. They are just barely scratching the surface of what this band has to offer. I would like to see full length cd's by this super funk group. Cause anybody who was around when they were in their prime knows that the party wasn't happening till there were some Bar-Kays jams being played. Come on Polygram (Universal/Uni whatever your calling yourself's) get with the program and show these brother's some love. Release the full length(Too Hot To Stop,Light Of Life,Injoy,As One,Nightcruising,etc.)already ! Dang! Oh, and enough with the compilations already.
