The Bar-Kays ‎– Gotta Groove

The Bar-Kays ‎– Gotta Groove, Volt Records ‎– VOS-6004 Vinyl, LP, Album

Volt records 1969  ‎– VOS-6004



notes:
The Bar-Kays began in Memphis, Tennessee as a 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 December 10, 1967, Redding, his manager, and band members
 Jimmy King (born 1949; guitar),Ronnie Caldwell (born 1948; electric organ),
 Phalon Jones (born 1949; saxophone), and Carl Cunningham
 (born 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 was
on another plane, since there were eight members in Redding's party
 and the chartered plane could only hold seven. Cauley and Alexander

 rebuilt the group.
The re-formed band consisted of Cauley; Alexander;
Harvey Henderson, saxophone; Michael Toles, guitar; Ronnie Gorden,
organ; Willie Hall, drums and later Larry Dodson
(formerly of fellow Stax act The Temprees), lead vocals. The group
backed dozens of major Stax artists on recordings afterwards,
 including Isaac Hayes's Hot Buttered Soul.
