Video The Bar-Kays play "Son Of Shaft" live in Los Angeles 1972
The Bar-Kays singing Son Of Shaft before a live audience of 100,000 people at the Los Angeles Coliseum on August 20, 1972. This event was part of the Wattstax concert festival that year, which was organized by the Memphis, Tennessee Stax Record Label to commemorate the seventh anniversary of the Watts riots and black power, pride, culture, tradition and heritage struggle. The party and peaceful atmosphere of Wattstax was seen by some as "the African Americans answer to Woodstock", and the Reverend Jesse Jackson gave the invocation, which included his "I Am - Somebody" poem, which was recited in a call and response with the assembled stadium crowd. There was a film (Wattstax) directed by Mel Stuart which was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Documentary Film in 1974. The songs in the film, in order of appearance: "What You See Is What You Get", performed by The Dramatics "Oh La De Da", performed by the Staple Singers "We the People", performed by the Staple Singers "Respect Yourself", performed by the Staple Singers "Star-Spangled Banner", performed by Kim Weston "Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing", performed by Kim Weston "Someone Greater Than I", performed by Jimmy Jones "Lying on the Truth", performed by the Rance Allen Group "Peace Be Still", performed by The Emotions "Old-Time Religion", performed by William Bell, Louise McCord, Debra Manning, Eric Mercury, Freddy Robinson, Lee Sain, Ernie Hines, Little Sonny, the Newcomers, Eddie Floyd, the Temprees, Frederick Knight "Son of Shaft/Feel It", performed by The Bar-Kays "I'll Play The Blues For You", performed by Albert King "Jody's Got Your Girl and Gone", performed by Johnnie Taylor "Walking the Backstreet and Crying", performed by Little Milton "I May Not Be What You Want", performed by Mel and Tim "Picking Up the Pieces", sung by Carla Thomas "The Breakdown", sung by Rufus Thomas "If Lovin' You Is Wrong, I Don't Want to be Right", sung by Luther Ingram "Theme from Shaft", sung by Isaac Hayes "Soulsville", sung by Isaac Hayes More on The Bar-Kays: The Bar-Kays are a popular soul, R&B, and funk group which began performing in 1966 and continue to perform today, although with only one original member. They began in Memphis, Tennessee as a favorite recording studio session musician group, backing major artists at Stax Records. They were chosen in 1967 by Otis Redding to play as his backing band. On 10 December 1967, Redding, his manager, and band members Jimmy King (b. 1949; guitar), Ronnie Caldwell (b. 1948; organ), Phalon Jones (b. 1949; saxophone), and Carl Cunningham (b. 1949; drums) died in a plane crash in Lake Monona while on their way to a performance in Madison, Wisconsin. Trumpeter Ben Cauley survived the crash and bassist James Alexander (who missed the flight due to returning a rental car) rebuilt the group. The reformed band consisted of Cauley; Alexander; Harvey Henderson, saxophone; Michael Toles, guitar; Ronnie Gorden, organ; Willie Hall, drums and later Larry Dodson, lead vocals. The group backed dozens of major Stax artists on recordings afterwards, including on Isaac Hayes' Hot Buttered Soul album, and changed direction in the 1970s to have a successful funk music career on Mercury Records. They continued to score hits on R&B charts well into the 1980s and have performed all over the world. The band took a hiatus in the late 1980s, but then reformed in 1991 with Alexander as the only remaining original member. Lloyd Smith joined The Bar-Kays in 1973. Soul Finger (1967) Pop Top 20, R&B#3 Son of Shaft (1972) R&B Top 10 Note In the movie Spies Like Us, starring Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase, The Bar-Kays' hit "Soul Finger" is the favorite song of the crew of a Soviet mobile ICBM platform on patrol in Tajikistan S.S.R.

Parliament "Trombipulation" Album Review
Ring around the blowsey~
I am a die hard P-funk fan, but this is the weakest link. Not saying it's a bad album, however there were a whole lot of musicians on this joint. I believe that they brought in everybody to get the project done. I love "Let's Play House" and my favorite is "Body Language". "Agony Of Defeat" got a lot of airplay in the DC area. Bootsy is all over the place here. It was time to say "goodbye" to Casablanca. now I heard the remnant of Pfunk & the Rubber band nemed themselves "Sweatband". CD not availiable yet.

off of the Trombipulation LP circa 1980...It was the last album of original material produced by the group. Sampled most notably by Humpty Hump(Digital Underground)...

Chuck Brown "The Best of Chuck Brown" Album Review
GoGo needs to go!
First off, what the hell is gogo? and who the blue hell is chuck brown? America wants to know. I heard this gogo on the radio and thought vinilla ice made a comeback. I thought the dj couldn't spin the record stright. Who is chuck brown signed to? classical music sells more than gogo. I enven heard gogo been out for 30 years! chuck still lives with his mama! he sells his cassette tapes out the trunk. Overall, gogo just sucks! America also thinks this. Sucks, just like the wizards, the nationals, and the hockey team, if D.C. has one. D.C. isn't even a state. Just stop, please. America has been embarrased enough.

Mac Band "The Real Deal" Album Review
The Brothers Showed They Use To Be The Real Deal
The McCampbell Brothers produced, arranged (vocal arranged), and played multi-instruments (bass, guitar, percussions, flute, trumpet, sax, and even layed down raps) on their 91 release The Real Deal and worked with a highly skilled team; Club Nouveau's Mikki Bleu (toured with Con Funk Shun and The Gap Band), very capable musician Chuckki Booker (Barry White's God Son), Cornelius Mims and producers Darrin & Tone Z. The Real Deal hit a high no. 78 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Charts, and the lead single "Everythang" hit a astonishingly high no. 73 on the R&B singles chart, but this shouldn't reflect the single's credibility. Its sad to see a group that only four years ago had a number one hit ("Roses Are Red") and fall out of the publics eye so quickly.
