The Bar-Kays ‎– Gotta Groove

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.

The Bar-Kays Soul Finger

Volt records 1967  VOLT 417

 notes:
Soul Finger is the debut album of the Bar-Kays, issued three months
after the single of the same name. It was recorded by Tom Dowd
and Chris Huston on Friday, June 23, 1967, at the Stax studio in Memphis.
The instrumental band, after being signed in early 1967, was tutored by
Al Jackson, Jr. and the other members of Booker T. & the M.G.'s,
which shows in the tightness of the rhythm section. That summer
they also were selected by Otis Redding as his new backup band.
