RIP to my best friend and the keyboard player for the Barkays. Mark "Bubba" Bynum. A monster on those keys. He joined the Barkays when he was only 17 years old. He was the absolute truth 🎤🎹🎛️🎼

[@Ligerpride]

RIP. Great band.

I always love the bar kays. but last timr I have a good memory hearing it was with my cousin Jason we. were going to get a pizza at night cruising ironically we had the munchies from the. herballs hahs he's 4 years younger than me so I was surprised to see him come out with this song been 10 12 years back now that I think of it time flies so stay listening to your favorite memorable ones 5 stars to the bar kays what it stand for I wonder Bar Kays bet Google don't know that haha thanks

[@dwaincampbell3302]

Rick James use to go see the Bar Kay's and take pictures of them. So you know Rick had to hear their sound. There's nothing new under the sun. Get the Funk On Ya'll!🗣

[@mrmaxxx94]

one of the funkiest bands ever and this cut was bumping on that synth funk.larry Dodson one of the baddest singers ever,the barkays producer Allen e Jones was known for sound jacking what was happening and the Rick James salute is timely, respect this funky band

[@michaelmathis6038]

I remember listening to a interview that James Alexander,leader of the Barkays was giving a few years ago. He stated that Larry Dodson, lead singer of The Barkays used to to Rick James concerts to check him out. Night Cruisin does sound like the Stone City Band.

[@kenwood1971]

Go deep into the Barkays catalog and you will see for yourself what's real.

[@michealroebuck683]

Rick was influenced by Larry Dotson

[@tiffanyeyoung1800]

I believe it. He even had a similar look. You definitely see it in the Freakshow video

[@leonardmunoz814]

Fresno is in the house 559. Love this music. Wish they brought some good shit like this back ! Love that old school.

[@Pinche_pancho_]

Apple Music needs this song

[@SylviaMendoza0707]

I hate that Apple Music doesn’t have this stuff

[@joevanyrobles8860]

Reminds me of my Pops when he was like 35 years old, this would be blasting out of his Pioneer Stereo with tower speakers! Great times.

[@username38407]

This song helps me with my depression 💯

[@Malfunkzhun]

Yes exactly, I can so hear the Stone City Band influence

[@topgun6981]

NO NO NO It sounds like BARKAYS 🤛🏾🔥 😂straight fire 🔥

[@giannidcenzo]

Right? Ha

[@Art_Travel_and_Hobbys]

This is who Rick James got his style from... Rick James was a student of the Bar Kays Lead singer, according to the Bar Kays lead. He said Rick James was in the front row concert watching and studying everything

[@allujan6859]

From;Al fandom & Linda Lyman from San Jose .,ca. Shooting out on how we will forever Love all the Confunkshun,Barkays,TinaMarie,Rick James,ECT.the same years or right before,& after .Are all our favorite Jams till the End..Keeping It Real....Bricks

[@jjj99998]

Adding this to my “yet another song not on Spotify that should be” list..... UPDATE 3/18/23: it’s on spotify in the usa now!!

[@dogontribe8333]

It’s not on Napster either wtf is going on!!!!😡😡😡😡

[@jjj99998]

DOGON TRIBE I know, right? I don’t understand it (well I do, but I think it’s crazy). They are only hurting the fans by not having it available on streaming platforms. And yes, I know people get songs off KZbin, but that’s just not the same quality, and I like to have all my music in one place. Smh

[@dogontribe8333]

Jeff G Yea I was trying to make a playlist with that one and it’s a no go smh!!😩

[@Rashy225]

Spotify is missing so many good funk albums/songs

[@jjj99998]

Rae T and older soul songs too. I still love Spotify, but I could easily think of hundreds of songs it needs.

I read where Rick James and Prince, when they were young musicians, used to frequent the Kays concerts to check Larry out. Larry said in and interview on "Truth and Rhythm", he used to check out Mick Jagger and Tina Turner.

[@kenwood1971]

Prince had a session at Ardent Studio in Memphis back in the 80's on the strength of the Barkays.
