Music popular soul, R&B, and funk The Bar-Kays group picture(s)/pic(s), wallpaper and photo gallery, albums covers pictures. The Bar-Kays are a popular soul, R&B, and funk group which began performing in 1966 and continue to perform today, although with only one original member. They began in Memphis, Tennessee as a favorite recording 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 10 December 1967, Redding, his manager, and band members Jimmy King (b. 1949; guitar), Ronnie Caldwell (b. 1948; organ), Phalon Jones (b. 1949; saxophone), and Carl Cunningham (b. 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 (who missed the flight due to returning a rental car) rebuilt the group. The reformed band consisted of Cauley; Alexander; Harvey Henderson, saxophone; Michael Toles, guitar; Ronnie Gordon, organ; Willie Hall, drums and later Larry Dodson, lead vocals. The group backed dozens of major Stax artists on recordings afterwards, including on Isaac Hayes' Hot Buttered Soul album, and changed direction in the 1970s to have a successful funk music career on Mercury Records. They continued to score hits on R&B charts well into the 1980s and have performed all over the world. The band took a hiatus in the late 1980s, but then reformed in 1991 with Alexander as the only remaining original member. Lloyd Smith joined The Bar-Kays in 1973. * Soul Finger (1967) Pop Top 20, R&B#3 * Son of Shaft (1972) R&B Top 10 Note: * In the movie Spies Like Us, starring Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase, The Bar-Kays' hit "Soul Finger" is the favorite song of the crew of a Soviet mobile ICBM platform on patrol in Tajikistan S.S.R. * Dan Aykroyd also covered "Soul Finger" with John Belushi and their band, The Blues Brothers, on one of their albums. * James Alexander's son is award-winning rapper and music producer Phalon "Jazze Pha" Alexander, who was named after Phalon Jones. * Their songs "Too Hot to Stop" and "Soul Finger" are featured in the 2007 film Superbad
