    One of the most under appreciated bands of all time, if you can find a copy of Propositions get it. You made a change in my life and She talks to me with her body are just 2 of the standout tracks.

      While I agree w. your sentiment , it's irrelevant .. and un-achievable for virtually every band bcs Bar Kays were the best funk band in the land and it's kind of like saying Bruce Lee" set the bar " and trying ain't the problem , its the end result .
      Their horn section was unmatched , Mr. Dodson lead singing unmatched and their longevity going from the band being destroyed in a plane crash with only 2 survivors playing over 30 years of hits and playing great music , for get bout it .
      Only Bar Kays did it and only Bar Kay's could have done it .

    The funk festival at the Cow Palace, SF 1985: Confunkshun, Rene and Angela, Atlantic Starr, Chaka Khan, The Mary Jane Girls(backed by the Stone City Band), and the headliners....THE BAR-KAYS!!
    That night was beyond description and a show that I am so thankful to have witnessed, OMG!
    And we ended up stranded in SF riding the Muni buses all night because we missed the last BART Train back across the bay.....the concert ended so late!
    It was a night for the ages!

And fronting the group after Otis... not small shoes to fill. Lets also send some love to Ben Cauley. A man of style, dignity with his priorities in order... family first.
