‘Soul finger, soul finger, hoo ha’… just one of many hits from the Bar-Kays, their first stint of success from the 60s until the 80s was a time of great success for the original band. But even after their hiatus and their reformation with various different band members, they have still got that smooth soul R&B sound that they were so famous for back in the day.
Something that you can guarantee from Bar-Kays, regardless of their point in history, is that they will give a high energy performance every time. They are so dedicated and invested in their music that it encourages the audience to dance and sing along with them too. The guys are in their late 60s, early 70s now but you wouldn’t know they were a day past 50. Jimmie’s voice was powerful as ever, granted he couldn’t hold onto the high notes as long as he used to, but apart from that they sounded just like their recordings.
It was fantastic to gain an insight to their tremendous journey over the years, and the snippets of stories they told the audience were really eye opening to the industry 40 years ago. They brought a fun, enthusiastic, and musically impressive show for us. If you’re into their music I would definitely recommend catching them live whilst you still have the chance.
