The Bar Kays - Holy Ghost (1978) DayOne Reacts

[@Lovejazz01]

Larry Dodson is the lead singer, back in he day they called him “ the black Mick Jagger”( flamboyant lead singer of the rock group The Rolling Stones” ) , The Bar-Kay’s are legendary in Funk & R&B , many hits over the late 60’s to the 90’s and beyond… and they are from my city Memphis!

When I was really young I remember riding the bus downtown with my older brothers and sisters to buy 45's at Satellite records. We'd see the Stax artists hanging out in there between sessions and they'd get pretty excited. Later in my teens my brother lived in Midtown behind Hueys and he'd take me to the Overton Park bandshell for weekend afternoon jams with Memphis elite artists, I didnt really appreciate it as much as I should have.

They shoulda called him the new Little Richard.

[@Lovejazz01]

@@MHO999999 he was nothing like Litte Richard

[@MHO999999]

@ I gotta disagree with you on that one.

[@pantaleonpangelinan4371]

The drum you were asking about is called Timbaleles, a Latin percussion instruments.

The Bar-Kays played at Memphis in May Music Festival every year back in my college days. Great funk band from Memphis, TN.

This is the second incarnation of this band. Only two original members because the rest were killed in the same plane crash that killed Otis Redding. Great song and love your reaction! BTW,you are so,so cute!!!!

[@johndavidson5228]

Surely you mean that this is the second incarnation, not "carnation", of this band .

DayOne Reacts, Your videos always brighten my day, so I subscribed!

[@ezekiellove6853]

Great song.... it's a shame that most of the original members were killed in plane crash with Otis Redding

[@brooklynswagger]

The drums are call timbales Sheila E plays them all the time

[@COLINWARD-v3y]

These were a soul group , and the one you did previously 'Soul Finger' is one of their most well known. this was quite funky with some nice brass, enjoyed this one-Colin Ward

[@jaredwilliams8464]

About time somebody react to this mega monster funk jam

[@sumerlawrence]

Nice reaction. Alot of early Hip Hop dj''s( GM flash, DJ jazzy Jay etc) would buy 2 copies of this record and extend the breakdown. The bar Kays have alot of great albums.

[@channelthree9424]

Watch them singing son of shaft during the Wattstax festival

[@1dognight166]

That ol 8track funk..

[@kennewton7518]

You should play more Barkays music. Put on " Move your boogie body". And many other hits.

[@themajicman745]

Check out their song "Son of Shaft"

[@horacerobinson7149]

Love the funk thanks for the feel good music Angela 😊

[@waynesolomon9313]

Please check out the HBO Documentary Stax: Soulville U.S.A.!! It gives the early histroy of The Bar-kays, Otis Redding, Issac Hayes and their entire roster. Very Good 4 Parr Series!! Goodchoice of a song Day One!!

[@WilliamLDobbs]

Yes. I agree. I love that documentary.

[@davids2096]

1st time hearing this one! I guess it's the funk category! It's not bad! Until Friday!

[@NathanielRayDavis]

😆It didn’t seem like it really knocked your socks off. I would try “Move Your Boogie Body”, by them and you would be moving.

[@soupsyz-themusicaladventur1649]

Funky!

[@jeanetteroberts4427]

Drums???? Timbales!!!

[@ramcarred]

Freak show on the Dance Floor is a must!!!!1

[@jaredwilliams8464]

My alltime favorite funk song, I got spray deodorant on my speakers.

[@jerrybowen8722]

Why dont we try move your boogie body. By barkays,it seems you always miss the better songs

[@JuneBaby01]

I'm sorry but your reaction is to half the song...that's no good, as you can not experience the full effects by only playing half the song.

[@chimpansi2]

Wtf lady?
